It's incredibly poor sportsmanship to let a game timeout just because you are losing. There are those who only have 6 games to play, and this ties up a game they could otherwise be playing. And before someone goes off on a rant about how people should subscribe if they want more games, remember not everyone can afford to. Many people play on borrowed computers, or on library computers, and time is precious.
If the game is lost with zero hope, and you don't intend to play, then just resign.

People who let the time drag out are about as small minded as you can get. I have a few who do this and it really irks me. When they take up to the last few hours I send a message. I AM GOING TO TAKE EVERY PIECE I CAN IF IT TAKES A YEAR. NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT THE MATE. You would be surprised at the number that resign. I'm with you all the way. They are real sleeze.
