server problems: Having accounts that are not used just take up a little hard drive space, and does not really have much to do with the current problems with the server slow time.

I do like the idea of (some-what) closing much of the discussion boards - but only for pawns (see message of mine below).

I just don't like the idea of adding more levels of membership. I myself am a Rook, and I really don't want to see the Rook membership change (unless more is added - then I might not complain).

Vikings: I know for myself, I prefer to just play then to just win - and to have a game just end or be forefited in the middle (even if it is a win for me) would not make me too happy. Someone else mentioned to let them finish the games that were already started but not start any new games, I also don't like that idea - for the fact if a person only has a couple of games, they may not play as much and also slow down things (plus the other problems that were talked about before) :-)
