Vacation

I really don't like the amount of vacation time we get. Because I've had 3 games that have been stopped for long periods of time because of vacation and 2 that are still on vacation. 2 games have been paused for over 1 month. I just think we have too much vacation time, I mean who's going to be away from a computer for a month. Just get real it's rediculous.

i think that the vacation that we have now is fine. i needed a few weeks this last semester after a fire in my apartment building--i had a lot more on my mind than chess. that didnt mean that i wanted to forfeit my games though. i was thankful that i had plenty of vacation time so i could put the games on "pause". i dont think the point is that people --cant-- get to a computer, the point is that sometimes people have a lot more on their mind, or just dont want to think about chess while they are away for a week, or even just want to take a vacation from chess. as much as i love this site, i wouldnt want it to be my job (bless the great people that have this site as their job so i dont have to), and i wouldnt want my games to become job-like either. there are always open seeks for new games, so whenever one of my opponents goes on vacation, i just look for a new game to pass the time. good things come to those who wait, and patience is a virtue, after all.

Okay if you have something important or if you are really on vacation, I say yes.
But there are too many people who abuse it.
If their have a bad position in the game. for example
It's very annoying, If you use this for it.

Just stop the game and take your loss.
Maybe something needs to be done about the period between holidays.
If you have turned on vacation and you resume the game,
that you can no longer use the holiday function, for a month
or somting.
so that the game can continue.
