Re: HPI Identity Leak Checker
The forum uses MD5. While it has weaknesses none of them apply to password storage, and there are "better" algorithms for password storage but none of them are actually good. The problem with all password hashing algorithms is that the passwords people choose are so weak there is no practical method...

His rating probably dropped after he joined the match.

Re: Forfeits and move time limit
A flag button wouldn't be a bad idea. For abandoned games, I've usually just decreased their time to about 10 days so they time out soon, but I've been considering the idea of flagging the game as abandoned, and forcing the player to make a move before they can do anything else in any other games.

Re: Domain name expiry
It'd be at least a matter of the cost of the domain name, and the server it's running on, plus at least a little human administration. I didn't think there was much activity on them, if there really is a significant amount of interest I can run them from the net-chess.com server.

We'll be moving to a new server over the next couple of weeks. For the most part you shouldn't recognize any significant changes, the site will be unavailable for about an hour or so during the final move. The upgrade should provide more stability.
