He is within the limits of the rules, and Vacation time is sitting on about 15 days left. In recent days he has avoided Vacation Time and looks like things are picking up.

I don't see what Awardchess is doing wrong if he was doing something wrong i am sure Erik would do something right? So why don't u people just leave him alone. I think Awardchess is the biggest supporter too chess.com and u all should Thank him not tell him to change what he is doing for chess.com.

People who talk about others in forums instead of confronting the individuals are cowards. They want others to join in the baying for blood, like vultures. I see no other purpose of this thread than making someone else feel bad. Don't pretend there's any other reason because there isn't. Now the decent thing to do would be to delete your petty post immediately, because it's giving another respected user a bad name, but of course that won't happen. If there's one thing i've learned in life it's that most people don't like to admit when they've made a mistake (or in this case you knew exactly what you were doing, so you'd be admitting being a jerk, not making a mistake).

I really take exception to being labelled a coward by you, simply because I took my grievance on this matter to the forum.
I am not going to go into the whys and wherefores as to the reason I went on the forum. And as its too much of a hassle to cross the Irish sea, to meet you in a handbags at dawn confrontation, let's have the next best option on chess.com.
I herewith challenge you, Sir, to a chess dual, one move in three days. And as I consider myself to be the insulted one, I claim the white piueces..
There will be no chat, there will be no quarter given or asked for. Let's just see who is the coweard here - or whether you will simply live up to your name.

I am playing Awardchess in a tournament game at present. The game has a timeout of 14 days and he takes as much of that as he wishes. Two weeks per move. Ridiculous, right? No, I have taken over three weeks on moves before now in proper correspondence chess. If you want fast games play Live Chess but don't be complaining about a person who plays by the rules!

I see your point but if you are upset by someone who plays by the rules then this is not this person which is incorrect but the rules. So you should stop complaining about one person and try to figure out what is wrong with the rule. (if anything is)
And also it is incorrect to attack one person on the public place, this should be done by personnal messages to this person.

1083 games x 60 seconds for each move(including getting in and out of the game) = 64980 sec
=1083 minutes
=18 hours
just to make one move
i am sure that he can find his way to BOOKS OF RECORDS

To MN Reb. Perhaps, Sir, you could be the referee in this venture. Feel free to bring your baseball bat along with you, to administer the rules of the challenge -just in case anyone feels tempted to step out of line, you understand.
Our friend could call upon Awardchess to be his second, while I would appeal to gigliott 2000 to be my representative.

thegab03. Point of information here. I haven't actually challenged Awardchess .It's someone else who cast nasturtiums in my direction.

owenwilson, Thanks for the info, sir, but I still hold me ground!

gigliott 2000. Many thanks, compadre, for your support. As we say, over here, it's guts and garters time now.
We shall await developments.

thegab03. What that be the Holy Ground that the Dubliners sang about ? Have another Guinness on me, my friend.

The craic was good in Crickle Wood & in the Isle of man, the glass was flying, the Biddies were crying & owenwilson's back in town!
In my opinion, the most impressive thing about AWARDCHESS is not that he has close to 1000 games going at once, which he does. No, I am most impressed at the fact that AWARDCHESS has 1 timeout in 2776 completed games. O_O
