Besides...you're a huge fan of great visuals when it comes to chess. You're telling me you prefer the look of web based lichess to FICS with BabasChess or ICC with Blitzin?
Higher numbers for the ratings don't really mean much. There are plenty of people around my rating and higher for me to play on lichess.
And, yes, lichess is actually better graphically than Babaschess since I can directly use svg pieces on it instead of having to convert to a (very limited) ttf format.

Also, the solution to "not enough players" or "not enough good players" isn't to play somewhere else, it's to try to get more people to play there. At least in my book. It's currently growing like wildfire, so if you aren't pleased with the pool at present, stick around. It's growing every day. Better yet, promote it and help it grow.
Here's one of the graphical setups I use on lichess (again, I have converted most of the good stuff to lichess-compatible already--it's much easier and more flexible than BabasChess was):
I'm hoping I'll be able to find the setting to change the figurine font in the move list so that it just displays letters, next. I hate figurine notation.
