My opponents time is up and it has been so for like 1-2 days now... Isn't he supposed to lose when that happens?

Russ had to temporarily disable the timeouts. He said it will last 24 hours, but I now see that he extended this for (EDIT: at least) another 24 hours.

Here is his explanation in this thread in the Announcements forum:

Game against people who have verified their email addresses can now be claimed as normal.

i've only recently joined.. and its bugging me , as i'm in the same position...
i've waited 8days for this person 'DragonJ' to move...
i've sent this person a reminder, but no responce. i have a button that says 'claim win'...
BUT i dont wanna press it, as i'd much prefer ending the game ... in well.. not a 'claim win' kinda way! is there no other way in sending people reminders???

only thing can suggest is to send a message asking your opponent to move or you will claim the win. if that doesnt budge him nothing will
