i think the highest person that talked here but rarely from time to time was an IM who did become GM and his name is pranav, he is known by chessbrah, hikaru and many though he just doesn't talk actively he would say something one day and then something months later like hi or cool or thats nice good job, just a friendly compliment nothing super special or a magical word

 You are not going to get many titled players in these forums. The higher-rated chess community is a toxic bubble, and Im quite certain most titled players avoid mingling with lower rated players, as we are considered of low intelligence. 

 Very very unlikely a GM will come to these forums to discuss chess with a 1600 chess.com player, lol.

I dont think GMs participate in lichess forums either. They are the same people. I mean, I just checked the most recently  updated thread in Lichess and it's "Why is Kc3 illegal in this position?". Do you think Magnus Carlsen or Grischuk is going to join the thread to debate on whether Kc3 is illegal in some random position or not?

The forums aren't really for chess so much as kids spamming in off topic.

Maybe there are some young GMs spamming there too, but if so they're not using their GM account, so we don't know about it.

Oh I see. thanks for the answer

Oh crap, I didn't see you were the OP. I accidentally fed a troll.

Are we talking about the same website? Because the UI of the website called Lichess that I am aware of is archaic and cluttered. Chess.com's UI is much better, although it still has lots of bugs.
