@ghost-of-a-duke saidI think the issue for Russ is that unclaimed timeouts clutter up his server by wasting memory. I don't see any issue for the players. I let two games go on for about a year before timing them out, just to be sure the other player had not made any other moves at RHP.
Are time wins automatic in OTB tournaments? Or do they still need to be claimed? (Rhetorical question).
Wins on time need to be claimed. If you are not looking for a rule change, then you need to go with that. (Some sites out there do have automatic time losses after a given period to stop delays in tournaments and the like).

@moonbus saidI'm in a game that was started 2 years and a week today. My opponent has a tendency to travel a lot and moves somewhat infrequently but then he is, after all, Irish and they are known for their lackadaisical attitudes/ways. 🤔 😲 😉

@russ saidOK, now that makes perfect sense. My opponent and I are in contact in PMs and other ways.
Unfinished games are periodically cleaned up. (deleted) If a player is inactive, and their opponent isn't inclined to take the timeout, it is a candidate for being removed.
@russ saidThanks, just reminded me to check and see if I have any skulls to take! 😉

@very-rusty saidAs a general rule, I tend not to gloat about time wins.
