What other site loaded? What are you talking about? These are 5-minute blitz games

What are you moaning about?
If you don't have time for the game, just don't play it.
Take up Minecraft.
What a stupid thing to say
I have time for the game, not idiots

It's genuinely annoying though. I really wish that when a game is abandoned, I had the right (as the remaining player) to declare a draw. I appreciate that sometimes life gets in the way, people lose their internet, or their grandmother vomits and they have to go and sort her out, whatever, so if they may have to abandon the game. If I'm 100% convinced I'd have won, then I let the timer run down, and claim the win. But if I can't see definite victory, out of fairness, I have to resign. But that's hardly fair on me! I should be able to declare an equivocal position a draw. Here's an example.
I'm black. I'm a minor piece up, but there's loads on the board, and anything could happen. I want to play Nh5 to trap white's queen, I can see three strategies they could use: (1) put their own knight on f4 so I can't, (2) advance the f2 pawn to give an escape route (but I can pin the queen to the king, but they can block with the g pawn which is then attacking my bishop, but their knight is hanging, or (3) they can move the queen to somewhere like f4 so they can take my pawn to escape from my planned knight move. Now they disconnect. I have 20 seconds to decide if I've definitely won the position. There is no way I'm anywhere near good enough at chess to do all that calculation that quickly. So I'm obliged to resign. At the very least, I'd have liked to declare it a draw.
