Frankly, I think it's really bad form to whine about timeouts nowadays. Maybe, I say MAYBE, a few months ago when a person would play 3 day timeouts with no time bank and claim it the MOMENT the clock ran out, but now with time bank, there is really no excuse.
In any event, I feel that if you start a game, you are tacitly agreeing to that games rules. If one of the rules is that a time out is valid after a certain period, then so be it. If you don't like it, DON'T PLAY. If you only want to play games with 14 day timeouts and 28 day time banks, then set your preferences that way.
I enjoy chess as much as anyone and, although I stink, I try to take each game as seriously as my mind can handle. That having been said, my record or even how badly I might play in a game doesn't go on my resume, doesn't affect my salary, and doesn't impact how I am with the ladies (thank goodness). Except for the rare "Chess-stud," people need to keep this game and site in its proper perspective. And, no doubt, the aforementioned stud would NEVER let his game timeout.
