Welcomer absent

I made a first move in a game against my "Welcomer".  He has not replied. Time is well over expired, but the game still shows less than one minute remaining.  I notice that my so-called Welcomer has several games outstanding in none of which he has made a move.  I suggest that someone needs to take some steps. 

What a poor advert for Chess.com this guy provides.

"Welcomer" is a thankless volunteer position. 99% of the time it is the new member who does not make a move. Hopefully your site lifetime is long enough to read this response.

Appears you have crossed paths with a "Welcomer" who has reached the end of his lifetime on the site. Most people do not clean up, such as turning off the setting for greeter games, before they leave. I am guessing the dead greeter will soon no longer get welcome games.

I hope so.  The game has been voided, so that issue is closed.  I take your point about it being a thankless task.  I may give it a go myself once I get settled in.
