vic's game stuck in lobby glitch?

[CrystalLuna]

so um why is there a game in the lobby that say's vic's game with one person.... vic ... in there, who's ready, and another person ... thedarkmaster12 ... who's not ready, which seems like it's stuck and not doing anything and been there for over a day now and not removed. people are entering and leaving thinking it's valid when its just sitting there and those two are long gone i think. is it a glitched game that got stuck in the lobby if those two disconnected or something, or are they just hogging up a game space eternally and both went afk or something and luring players in? it doesn't go away even if i refresh and even relog in, and even if i try coming in as a guest. there should be a time limit for which if a game doesnt start, its kicked by the server or something (if someone is sitting there not clicking ready and not being kicked by the game creator) -- or at least the "not ready" person being removed automatically after like a few minutes tops.

I tried friending vic to put him on my social screen. It said he's been offline for ten days.

And darkmaster's been gone for 11.

i wouldnt think anyone would get anything out of leaving a computer running nonstop with a game open on VW for a month just to see who would fall for it or something. Would get boring fast. I doubt its a hack to lure people in and what could they get from people entering? so yea im betting its just a bug, like a hiccup in the game. probably would be fixed by shutting down the game lobby on the server end and then restarting it right away, like a game reboot. ^^ XD ive had stuff like this happen in online RPGs, where I disconnect but if i have a 2nd player on another computer on at the same time, people say to me there that my first one is still logged in when im not lol. Usually it times out after like 5 minutes or so and I can reenter. In fact, vic might not be able to connect to VW if it says hes logged in already lol. so yea we definately need an auto kick reset after a few minutes of nothing happening if the IP address is disconnected.

Both users are registered as long enough offline, but their profiles still are recognized on a banlist.
