But I still don't see why it couldn't just as easy be FICS. It's just the principle. IMO everybody on ICC might as well be on a free server, and everything would be the same except it would be free. It doesn't especially have to be FICS. Just not a commercial server. And FICS is the best non-commercial server IMO.
