Why does the Time for Chess, Immortal Game, and Chess at Work all have the same forum with the same messages on it as this one?

Because they're mirrors for the same site.
I personally use playtheimmortalgame.com not only because I prefer the blue/black/white colours, but also because it looks a lot less dodgy than redhotpawn.com when/if my internet usage at work is looked at.

Yeah, i always thought it was so if you are at work and one site does not work, you can use another one. Some may get through the work filters etc.

Or maybe it's to offer a different colour scheme.

I'm glad you cleared that up.

I once stumbled onto one of these other sites by pure chance and
noticed another guy called greenpawn34.

Then I saw another Squelbelch another Robbie and Fat Lady
was there too.

I thought I had fallen through a rip in the time fabric and had
entered another dimension.

This is actually the exact thing that came up at school.

They found out about RHP and blocked it, but left the other sites open.

Pretty fail by them in my opinion

They are all the same site and there are others as well.

See : FAQ

Basically it is just to give alternative colour schemes but the fact that some may still be open when others are blocked by firewall is an added bonus.

i like RHP simply because of the looks i get from friends & work mates when they see the URL in my history lol (but then again i have always been kinda childish that way lol)

I noticed a troublemaker on one of those other sites with the same name as yours who almost got banned for misleading newbies!

No relation, right?

Thank you. I don't know if I've ever written lol and meant it, but I'm really laughing out loud at this one. The whole mess was worth it for this punch line.
