- Fairfield Community Connection
The Fairfield Community Connection (FCC) was a bulletin board system located in Fairfield, Connecticut, USA . It was created in 1994 by SysOp R. Scott Perry. It was the largest BBS in southwestern Connecticut, consisting of over 8 nodes.
History
FCC was opened to the public on February 1, 1994 with 4 nodes, increased to 8 nodes in May, 1994, and finally increased to 14 nodes in February, 1996. It provided Internet E-mail starting in February, 1994, and full Internet access in March, 1995. It was merged with the Powerhouse BBS in June, 1996. The phone number was 335-4073.
FCC was setup using Galacticomm's Major BBS/Worldgroup software. Lacking in game and download sections, FCC's main appeal was its chat room(s). Many people would also use the message boards to communicate. This local connection provided opportunities for BBS meets as well as long-term friendship with others.
FCC helped usher in a larger era of BBS in southwestern Connecticut, including but not limited to: No Class BBS, Powerhouse, Kirby, Alcatraz and The Dog Pound.
FCC Regulars included: Snoop, Gambit, Montyp, Star, Raven and Master Wu. Others included Dante, Peach, Lestat, Highlander, Octave, Ziggy Stardust, Sting, Mr. Bungle, Lorenzo, Bishop and SHS.
