In the middle of a game and lose connection... again. No issues with any other site including ICC.

Of course this would happen just after I lose a couple of games really badly and then am in the middle of actually winning a game :-)

Seriously though it's pretty shoddy, membership here isn't cheap so I'd expect better infrastructure to be in place.

Yeah, I'll relax and just renew my membership at ICC instead of here.

I got a message saying they're upgrading the site!  Why would anyone complain about that?  Upgrades are good!  Thanks chess.com!

It's not an upgrade, that's just a catch all (bulls**t) error message. They had the same message up yesterday when it crashed during the deathmatch - they wouldn't upgrade during a heavily advertised deathmatch which they are paying staff to commentate on.

 

Would also be pretty silly to upgrade at peak usage time, on a Sunday when their staff would probably need to be paid overtime. Better to upgrade during the week when people are working.

His name is SYCOPHANTastic. I assume he is simply being sarcastic.

Ah yes that would make sense, silly me.
