CCC History
CCC was established in October 1997 by the group of "founders", basically to get rid from flaming in rgcc [4]. The forum was used its own code developed by Steven Schwartz. Testing of the forum software already occurred in September. CCC has been hosted by IcdChess, ChessUSA [5] and firstly located at http://www.icdchess.com. Due to the limit of the server, old contents were frequently removed, saved as backups, and stored in other servers, mostly in the FTP server of Robert Hyatt. In 2006 the forum was changed to use phpBB code (a freeware forum), upgraded the server, and moved to a new domain at http://www.talkchess.com. However, all old contents could not be converted and the forum was continued with a totally new, empty database. Sean T Mintz had published old contents as an archive one [6]. Since February 29, 2024 the forum is in its third incarnation, lead by a second "founders group" and supported by the community members[7].
