Not buying. I would buy that it was a poor attempt to appear "in the know", though.

Yeah I've had my eye on that user @connection as well. Someday we'll get him.

Since the OP probably had no chance of understanding that it must be sarcasm, I would say not. You choose something that, to a neophyte developer that only knows some smatterings of HTML and JavaScript, would sound remotely plausible.

You would have lost connection and when you regained it, the game loaded and said you lost from abandoning.

The lag is so bad, each game starts already seconds gone on the clock, if it's a 60 second bullet game you should get the full 60 seconds, the pre moves should also be looked at as it's slowing the opponents clock giving the player pre moving an unfair advantage, we should all have a fair chance of winning.

Just played dude and was beating him when my time just froze and nobody’s time moved. Then he wins cuz it says I “abandoned the game.” How and why does this happen?

You just need to reload the page and your game will continue

abandoning a game = leaving the game

They use pure HTML to hack your device over Internet adding a float top-order DIV-block with steady time right over your clock ticking down...

The clients never directly connect and your opponents can't get your connection details to inject anything on your client. The server handles all traffic between the clients and doesn't pass anything along other than moves, update clocks, and chats.

Why is SixInchSamurai aggressively against even the possibility of it happening? Maybe he’s using the trick to get wins off abandons?

Yes, hacking with pure HTML mentioned above, here is my code:
