How I Feel About chess.com Servers Down & Disconnects

anyway Danny and co will be having sleepless nights it seems like..

Nice @Gump_forest but no chess.com (or other chess sites) are not IPO companies (Initial Public Offering). This is the business way of saying, they aren't on the stock market because the company doesn't offer shares to the public this way. Some companies choose to be a part of the stock market(s) and some do not. It is a decision each company will have to make for themselves and a wrong decision could literally bankrupt the company if that isn't right for them.

So far I didn't recover my max ELO, my avatar picture disappeared, my 400+ lessons gone... mentioned but to no avail. I think it is gone for good. chess.com IT people are working to fix it. the real question is: are shareholders willing to invest in new faster servers? and is chess.com profitable?   

"many bugs unfortunately" is my Post

refer to my post above @trimalo - chess.com is not up for the public to purchase share of

its whatever honestly

i had a similar problem, though mine was due to my crappy computer crashing. the solution i thought would be good is that if you abandon a game in a completely winning position (for example solved winning endgames or a position where you have forced mate), it's a draw instead of a loss. also could work with positions that are only like +10 or something, but I think the easiest option would be just like +50 positions and forced mate.

i love the memes

How can I recover rating from losing connection due to chess.com servers going down? Is there an appeal function?

Use the help button - contact Chess.com - explain what you have lost or is in error

I just lost 61 elo because of this crash the game was literally 5 moves in so upset

I'm about to request a refund for my membership because this is ridiculous.

i lolled very good one brotha!

because it's called chess.com

Get well soon Chess.com.  We're loyally standing by.

Well, we're standing by, anyway...

Oh, you'll go back to being loyal when it gets fixed.

My loyalty level here is always the same. I realize that the server reliability is like people's ratings - up, down, up, down...

You've been here a long time. That's pretty loyal.

This is why the ratings are far from accurate on this site as you and I have already discussed.  Well this is just one reason, there are others.....
