Q.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice...
Alice, who the [f-word] is Alice

queenalice has no teams.
chessnetworld requires you to find 6 others to even field a team.
schemingmind has become predominantly a variant chess site.
chess colony, i.e, gameknot, has a great board but the forum is very
quiet.
chessage has a nice board but only about 1400 players...sometimes you have to wait quite a while to play.
chesshere is ok...but the colors on the chessboard are very strange.
chessknights is free...colors are good...not too many players
academic chess is excellent for those serious about chess.
chessatwork is where i play but there are alot of foolish people in the forums.
yadda yadda yadda..i could go on...

material...so i guess the chessatwork computer is programmed against one of the names i mentioned..hmmm..wonder which chess
site triggered the automatic block ?

sorry about that - robomod is set up to auto alert other chess sites as well as swearing. It's not (IMO) because talking about alternative sites is banned, but to prevent blatant advertising from going undetected.

Because it's set up as part of the same system as the swear filter, if you use a lot in one post then robomod automatically blocks the post. As this is not what it was designed to do I've overridden robomod and your post is visible.

I hear Chris loves uchess, Russ hates it. Mention uchess and they will have a fight. If Chris kicks Russ' ass, fine. But if Russ kicks Chris' ass, you've got problems. Because he'll be looking for you next.

And then - mark my words - asses will be kicked.

Dunno. We need someone who was at one of the London meet-ups to comment on size, muscularity, "that wacko eyes thing", etc.

I don't win more games there, but have a better rating (2282)
They don't have the "diversity" that RHP has. No debate or spirituality forums (some topics are not allowed). Generally speaking I find their forums more, let's say "genteel." As to their functions...I'd say it's a matter of taste.
You are 2282 there and you are 1573 here!? 😲
What gives???
