Dead postal games

I was wondering if it would be possible to eliminate dead games from the postal games roster. For example, the last game on the list, between halidecyphon and Lyeta, has not had a move happen for 43 months. The game between csquared and mc717990 has not had change for over 920 days. Other games, like the one between Borchu and sunim, are still on the roster despite move 1w having never been made, and these games were created a long, long time ago.
My recommendation, if possible, is to purge all games that have not had a change of state for 90 days with 5 or fewer moves having been made, and then eliminate the 0/0/0/0/0/0 time control. I would also see to it that move 1w and 1b have to be made in a reasonable time.

Yes, it really annoying me, coz it blockade one position in my empty slots (it could be possible to play only 20 postal games simultaneously (at least some months ago).
I have this game:
Here_is_thechamp x arimaa_master
where Gold never pressed the start button (it is there for more then 3 months).
I wrote to Omar about it at least twice but it seems that he has much important things to do  .

Also, It would be nice if we could disallow guests from joining open invites. 3 times, a guest joined my postal game and then never made a move.

The same hapened in my game against ArimaaScoreP3. After I joined the game, for days nothing happened. Eventual the bot started the game and were able to finish it. So I guess you just have to be patient.

I think Omar has to specially start of ArimaaScoreP3, because unlike other bots, it plays postally. You may have to send e-mail asking him to start it up for you.
