On a side note: Wouldn't this be a good candidate for a named_scope rather than a class method?
named_scope :active, lamda { :conditions => [ 'expiration > ?', DateTime.now ] }
or
named_scope :active, lamda { :conditions => [ 'expiration <= ?', DateTime.now ] }
or whatever conditions you determine are the right ones for your case.
P.S. This would be more conventional to the Rails framework:
named_scope :active, lamda { :conditions => [ 'expires_at > ?', DateTime.now ] }
where expires_at is a datetime column in the database.
