Board Game Arena

I've started a new game (normal play mode) of Point Salad and set it to 6 players, turn-based. I know it's going to take a while before I get 6 players so I just go about my own business and let BGA notify me when enough people join, but after a while I find that the game was deleted. Does BGA automatically delete games where it takes a while for ppl to sign up and if yes how long?

I don't know if it's officially documented anywhere, but in my experience, turn based tables are ended if the game doesn't start within 3 days. Also, if I go look at the list of all open turn-based tables (for all games) and go to the the bottom, the oldest is just short of 3 days old.

I have this problem when searching for real time games too. It stops searching unexpectedly. Don't know why or after how long, but it's not just a problem on your end
