First of all I consider bots like a virus or cancer. I also think this site allows to many days to make a move. But other then that I think this is a great site.

I disagree with the time issue. 36 hours looks fine for one game, but when you have 8 simultaneous games it is very short time if you want to study the games carefully.Either the tournaments have too many opponents or the time is short. The waste of time comes from people playing endless silly moves in finished games for months (at least in go) not from the time settings which are very though to bear.
I agree that in some games the robots can be very annoying, that's why I only play go 19x19.

I agree with keith630. Some of the humans are very annoying to the robots, too.

It's also a given that humans annoy humans. I wonder if robots annoy other robots.

It depends on the game, in GO programs have problems seeing they are loosing, but in other games like Othello or Amazons or Chess or Checkers it is generally humans new to the game that play on when human experts (and bots) already know the position is lost/won.
