Stop whining, maybe? Server restart is simply a server restart and you can`t do anything about that. And a membership, that you don`t have anyway, does not change these facts. So....

It is very simple, mr. Kellhus84: If I pay for a service, or a product, I need to know I am getting a good service, or a good product. A site whose servers are down a few times a day, every day, at random times with no control whatsoever should *NOT* solicit money for its features. Welcome to the commercial world, duh.

The servers go down for maintenance. I think that they give you 30 minutes warning when this happens and they often go up again fairly quickly. I don't see why this should be a huge issue.

How can you complain as your not paying now. Missed the point. This by far is the greatest place to play not pay. Try them out for a couple months ..... you will be back like a soldier on  tour.

Every site is going to have a plus and negative. But Chess.com goes down for a reason. Not sure of the reason all the time but it is to improve the quality of playing here. Can you say that about the other sites.

I have so many activities on this site and not all of them are about chess which i thought was stupid at first but it adds to what makes Chess.com different.

As far as paying. Well there is way around it, ask for somebody else to pay. B-day  and etc. Problem solved.

Yes, but you are not paying! It`s ridiculous.

This thread is what happens when uneducated people meet the internet.

Computers have problems. They aren't smart like humans. Deal with it.

You have been on Chess.com forums too long.

Before they called it the Internet ......

....... it was called the information supere highway!

People were getting smarter everwhere on various subjects.

I could only imagine if he was here when it went for a while twice in a weekend a couple summers ago.

I had power problems in my neighborhood a couple times since i been on chess.com that came out of left field. Add in i had no idea when i would power back to my computer. ? Should i not pay the electric company because my service was interrupted and might cause me to lose some games.
