Change History
Moderators will move threads from "Checker requests" into this forum after a while when it has been decided that the challenge checker isn't possible for one or another reason. The threads should not be moved right away. The challenge owner should have a chance to adjust his requirements if that helps.

This suggests that Challenge caches should entirely be based on caches that players have found. "How long has a player's account existed" does not fit that.
