That one is difficult to translate in Greek ( I will scratch my head for an answer I promise I'd appreciate some company in misery though).

Now Συνεχώς doesn't work in this case as I see it (feel free to disagree -politely! )
Διαχρονικές or something seems a bit off to me
To εξ αρχής isn't good either (plus it's a bit archaic isn't it?)

Any ideas? Am I nitpicking too much?

Right now I can't think of anything else.

The meaning here is "of all time", or "ever", NOT "all the time" or "always".

I'm not even sure if my Greek translation, which you accepted, is correct now. Maybe it should be "από την αρχή μέχρι τώρα" just to be crystal clear?

Well it should be but it's too long and we need sth shorter don't we? That's why I am stumped and your translation is the best so far. I can't think of anything else to tell you the truth.

Me neither. I think this whole thing is problematic - several of the translations (into various languages) are not of the right meaning, but I told jp that I thought this. Actually, the phrase you used ( "so far" ) would be better in English, because "all time" is causing a lot of confusion.

How about just "μέχρι τώρα" in Greek?

I've changed the comment about this translation to make it more clear.
