Extension to extend expiration of comments based on commenting

With the release of my first plugin fast approaching (Probably this evening) I have the bug now to write addons for Expression Engine.

Let’s say you have your default comment expiration set to 30 days. Now, as the post nears the expiration of the comments, let’s say you get a sudden surge in commenting. Now, you could theoretically go in and change the comment expiration for that post, but what if you are away and can’t get to it?

Well, that’s what this extension is here for. You tell it a number of days before a comment expires, and what it will do is change the date of expiration to a user selectable period of time if a comment comes in during that time frame you set. This will happen repeatedly, so you don’t have to think about changing expiration.

If you have any suggestions for settings that you would like to see on this, let me know.
