Site Design
I just added plain grey, red, blue and green... Plain white is really awful :-)
I'll try to add other designs with pictures soon.

Suggestion : Red boards
Just added new designs (psychedelic boards)... I'll try to make ones dedicated to chess champions and so on :)

I'm so surprised to see that only 9 players use the RANDOM design (see in Preferences) which is my favourite by far... You should try it, more fun for the eye ;)

Withdrawal from all standard time events
The issue is not with the amount of time taken when players use a few days per each move, say 3 days on one move, 4 days on the next, 2 days on another and so forth, throughout the 10 moves for 40 days and so arrive at the end of the 10 moves with about 5 days to spare (playing it safe). That is how the time control is 'meant' to work.
No, my issue is with players who completely waste my time with behaviour that shows that they are able to move faster and can do so, but believe that is ok not to do so.
Most of us know exactly who they are and would have no problem naming them. If I had the option not to play them again, I would be comfortable doing so.
This is how they 'game' the time control. At the start of the game, they will make their first few moves in the first few days, leaving 35 or so days for 5 moves, then you will not see them for another 30 days, then they come back and make another 5 moves in 5 days (making the time control).
Then you do not see them again for another 30 days, except for maybe one or two moves, then they make 10 moves in less than 10 days (making the time control again).
And they keep repeating this behaviour for the whole game. Time period after time period.
In my period, this wastes 30 days per cycle of my life and I do hold Thibault partly responsible for it. He designs a time control that allows it to happen.
At least with the rapid time control, players who do this eventually end up having to make one move per day for the rest of the game, so they run the risk of running out of time. They show poor time management and get punished for it.
There is a simple way to stop this behaviour, change the time control.
