If a player runs out of time and his opponent has insufficient material for mate, then the game is drawn. So perhaps your clock ran down.

I think , chess.com has to control "

Draw for insufficient material"

rules as soon as possible . because it is wrong rule I think !

Chessirecat is correct.

Not the case.

It is the case. Black ran out of time, white had insufficient material, draw.

Why are there so many threads like this on chess.com? 

I guess people aren't taught the rules properly.

Learn how to mate with two queens and this won't happen. These two mate patterns are basic:

Sorry to say there is no such rule as yours, anywhere in the world... Turkey included.

Hey pfren! He took it as both players only had a king.

I guess it was because of the stupid movements you did once you got the second queen
