I know you can click the "remember me" box and stay logged on for two weeks, but I would forget my password if I waited 2 weeks. Now everytime I leave the board and come back, I have to log in again....and that is just to read the board. Not the worst problem in the world, I was just wondering.
I think it's been that way for a while... we had problems with the board getting really laggy during game threads, and I don't think anyone has changed that setting since then. You'll have to ask an Admin about that one - Mods don't have access to those settings.
