Developers-
You REALLY need to work on your server issues. I have a few favorite games on this website, among them recently is Through the Ages. However, when I play this game the server reliably does not behave. Check out my connection log in game #9710321, for example, the worst I've had it in a few weeks by far. In began badly: it took 5 minutes (literally!) for the page to move from "waiting for player X to start" to "hey, you've spent 4 minutes of your starting timer but haven't moved". No once did I get warning that I had disconnected. Then, over the next hour or less, I was DC'd at least a dozen times more, and no amount of page reloads would stabilize my server connection for more than 10 minutes at a time.
For the record, this NEVER happens on any other game on this website, and even hour long games it happens at most twice. "Death by server lag" is frustrating for everyone involved and the developers need to address why it is happening.

Note: while writing this message I was disconnected ANOTHER 4 TIMES. I just checked.
