i agree that move limits are not ideal, but with the server in such a bad state it may be a good temporary solution until more bandwidth is obtained.

Limited games will not be quite as effective since the pawns can still play just as quickly.

I would think that limited moves with a working server is preferable to the current situation. Also may incent some pawns to pay for membership once they see the site working better! (I understand not paying as it is performing now)
