Do you guys think they should cancel all the games that were lost on time b4 the server crashed?

Yeah, I think they should cancel all those games.

If the site is having server issues, why no announcement by the admins? No facebook or twitter post, no pm anouncement sent. I guess this is not very important enough to notify your members about. Oh well.

I wish there was a toaster-style popup that tells us that the servers are out, like the ones for achievements.

Why is your rating important to you?  Can you help me understand?

I’ve been on and off numerous times today with no issue.

So? That dosen't mean there is no server issue affecting others. I spent 12 years working at a data center. Based on my experience, not everyone will experience issues.

If that is so, that would be really annoying. I was one move away to getting a draw.

12 points gone and 2 hours wasted, 8 mins left on clock and 3 moves from winning. My opponent must be wiping off the sweat that he escaped due to the server failure but its not the way to run a site is it? People are working hard to improve their game, and for what? It's demoralizing.

My post wasn’t meant to be a “so what” reply. I merely stated what my experience has been today. I agree it can be frustrating when games are lost due to any number of problems. Based on your background (12 years in a data center) you would know better than many how there can be various reasons for a server going down. Excessive heat, AC failure, a large influx of users, fire protection system malfunction, intermittent power surge or outage, back-up supply failure, etc., and others. With your background you May have some Valid points of wisdom to offer chess.com. Give it a try. It may just help everyone.

I've lost dozens of games and they always blame me. Once I was placed in the category of poor sports because it was my fault the servers broke down. happy.png
