Trades
Currently there are over 2000 pages of Trades, dating back to 2009. I could go back further to see where it actually ended, but I got tired. :p
Shouldn't there be some kind of expiration date on trades? For example, if a trade is still active after 30 days, it should automatically be canceled, and the items returned to the owners inventory. Many of those trades are probably from users who haven't been on in such a long time, they really shouldn't continue to be up, clogging the system.
Pet Auctions
The Pet Auctions also need a time limit. Currently, if I wanted to list an auction and have the end date be January 1, 2016, I could. But what would be the point of it? What if some unsuspecting bidder didn't realize they were bidding on a creatu whose auction was not set to end until months or years later. Their tu would be tied up all that time unless some other poor soul outbid them and took their place. I'm proposing a 30 day limit on Pet Auctions as well.
For example, here's an example of an actual Pet Auction going on right now, ending in the year 2020 (creatu name withheld):

No bids made. Starting bid 2,147,483,647

Ridiculous, is it not?
(I won't even mention the starting bid. Oops, I guess I did. Another problem there.) ;)
The Item Auctions do have a maximum length of 10 days (Actually 9 days 23 hours 59 minutes, because it won't let you type in 10). It makes no sense that Trades and Pet Auctions aren't run in a similar fashion.
Thoughts?
