Add more expiration options

eg: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 1h, 1d, 1w, 1m, 6m, 1y

I've set this up on icebin. I'll send a PR.

Or just enter a number of days to expire the paste. See this issue: #135

Please implant this suggestion. Specially expiration for 1 year, is really necessary, IMO.

Hello,

Can people step in and give examples of things they wanted to do in the past that would have been using this feature? The more people with very concrete examples, the more we are likely to consider it.

Please only contribute examples of things you actually needed to do, not things you thing could have been nice.

Here is my reason for wanting more expiration options:

U might know about hosting websites (Websites that host files in their servers). But these hosts only host those files (for free) for a specific time.

For example, Host A only keeps files for 3 months & Host B keeps files only for 6 months & Host C keeps files only for 12 months

I use 0bin for keeping these hosting links on it. But I want it to stay only for 3 or 6 or 12 months. Bcuz after that time, They all became expired & there is no need for keeping them after that.

Ok makes sense, anyone else has a story to share ?

Sometimes I use a paste to store notes on a topic. For example, on another site I have pastes that are 4-5 years old because I keep adding to my notes. These are types of notes that do not get old over time. These are also notes I want to share with other people by giving them a link.

For example, I might make a paste which shows how to get around a certain bug that is somewhat common and I end up sharing that link to many forums over 3-4 years.
