5 years of pleading. I guess if you want 960 it's time to go somewhere else.
Also I agree with @granp9 I could write this into an existing system within a day.
How do I play 960?
I like the fact Fischer invented it.

Yes I'd love the option to play 960 in live or bullet mode. I'm a paying member but currently I need to visit another site (chesscube) to do this. Please bring this out soon on chess.com!

Is that ready? I mean is it possible to play CHess960 in Live chess?
No its not possible yet, maybe sometime in the future though
lol....i guess we'll never see a Standard time control or 960 Live Chess...
Really? Still no live chess960? It would take an afternoon to program it into the site. People have been asking for it for years and still nothing.
[COMMENT DELETED]
I have also waited for years. Thankfully other Chess960 sites like lichess and chesscube support it.
I think the problem is that Chess.com must be worried about the support issues.
Lets assume that there were no support issues. Then they would introduce Chess960 because there is no cost, only profit.
The problem is that support = cost and they must think that the costs will still outweigh the profit.
All I can say is that they must have a low opinion of their ability to program in the change.
Welp I've moved over to Chesscube.com, they have chess960 and the site has a more modern feel.

See ya.
Maybe they'll introduce it with V3, that would certainly be interesting.

Seven months later - so much for "soon".
I played chess960 on this site in November 2012. It was an option then. Just take the programme out of the archives, insert disc and press "enter".
You can play Chess960 live or against an AI on jocly.com
5 years and counting... waiting...
Chess.com is a great site. But it really does seem like they have been lying about this issue for years. Perhaps its the lowest of low priorities, but it really seems like a dead issue.
Chess.com must know they are losing a lot of users in this way. I also am playing on other website chess960. Furthermore, adding this feature to an already chess website is really easy. I can do it for free if they want. I hope they will read this long discussion :)
