CRAZYHOUSE is Ruined

Sorry I just have to make sure the chess.com people are aware at how much this change has affected the community.  The moving of crazyhouse has destroyed the community.  I was playing more crazyhouse than normal chess because I could see myself on other platforms losing or winning against social media players.  I don't even know where ot begin to show my unhappyness.  We've lost everything that made the game unique and fun.  The people, the community the ease of use of the games.  The variants are fun but crazyhouse was it's own thing.   I used to log in to chess.com daily on my computer to play but now I'm rarely there.  My rating is gone and the new rating systems is a horrible mess.

hopefully they will improve it, I'd like to see the head to head matchup score, and a chat window that doesn't refresh every time a new game begins

But what happened?

They moved it to variants. We are no longer able to create tournaments for it and the players have all left as the rating system is messed up.

The variants section of chess.com is completely messed up, why they can't just make it work altogether with the variants like 3-check and bughouse in the play server? And I heard they also plan to move bughouse to variants too.

Disappointing really

I think the new variant interface is terrible. The sound effects and color scheme are weird. Also, a lot of people 3-2 crazyhouse. Not sure why chess com made such a drastic change. Makes no sense.
