How long can a game be waiting for players?

How long can a game be waiting for players before it gets removed?
Someone said 2 weeks, I'm thinking a month. Does anyone know how long?

depends on the settings though:
see instructions

Private Games

To play with a select group of people, the game creator may specify a private password and pass it out as desired. Such a game is listed under the "Private Games" section of "Join A Game" until either it fills up or 15 days have passed, at which point it will be deleted automatically.
Tournament Games

These are games belonging to a community-run tournament and are created by members with special tournament game privileges. Such a game is listed under the "Tournament Games" section of "Join A Game" until either it fills up or 15 days have passed, at which point it will be deleted automatically. To participate in a tournament, go to the Join A Tournament page. To read all the rules and procedures for tournaments or for assistance in starting your own, please consult the Conquer Club Tournament Handbook.
Speed Games

These real-time games have 5 minute rounds and automatically refresh. An extra 2.5 minutes is added to the round length when someone is eliminated. Such a game is listed under the "Speed Games" section of "Join A Game" until it fills up. If a player logouts or their session is idle for more than 15 minutes they will be automatically dropped from any waiting speed games.

This implies (and that is correct) that open non private, non tournament, non speed games are open untill they are filled..
