There is some confusion as to if the 5th year anniversary of WebmasterWorld was this past Tuesday, September 21st. By looking at Brett_Tabke User Profile, you will see his join date was Sept 21, 1999. Brett owns, built and runs WebmasterWorld. A post named Half a decade of WebmasterWorld, is where this first propped up.

In that thread, Brett outlines the history of his forum/bbs community development:

- 84-88 single line commodore based bbs's.
- 88-89 2 line commercial bbs.
- 90-91 single line bbs again.
- 92-96 sysop of 64 line support bbs for major computer manufacturer.
- 96 first "web bbs" went up on old isp site.
- 97 first bbs went up on searchengineworld.com
- late 98 lost domain after registrar failed to auto renew domain.
- 99 started registered webmasterworld.
- 99 got searchengineworld back and started with this software base.
- 2000 moved the rebuilt forums (called WebmasterWorld, over to this domain).
