Is ICC a "chess site" per se?

So, ICC isn't really a chess site since there is no site.  It is just a game server you connect to via some early 1990's style telnet program.  There is no ICC "website" like here.

Sounds kind of like what DWANGO was in the 90's.

That site (ICC) is very difficult to navigate and you can't chat with the honey's the way one can chat with them here on Chess.com. AND well I might be chatting with a 40 year old fat guy for all I know. But anyway Chess.com is way more fun.

Yeah, because you can't use your chess engine here.  If you do you are banned.  Even if you change  identity you will get caught every time.

What if you are constantly moving from house to house a la Sadaam Hussein in the 1990's?
