Your first Dragon Ball related site?

Post by Hellspawn28 » Sun Sep 05, 2010 7:27 pm

Pretty self-explanatory. Just post and discuss the first DB-related site you found. For me, it was the official Dragon Ball Z site back in 2000. At the time I did not been to any other fan made Dragon Ball sites until 2003 when I discover MFG, and Daizenshuu EX. The first Dragon Ball forum I've been on was the Budokai forum back in 2002 on Gamefaqs, and I was banned at the time due to my age (I later made a new account back in 2004 or 2005).

The offical Dragon Ball Z site has change over the years:

1999:

There was this site called SaiyanHeat that I visited. I can't seem to find any traces of it though. Any of you guys know what happened to it? I quite liked the site from what I remember.

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

Hilariously enough, Temple o' Trunks.

I had my own site from 1998 to 2000

I used the name "Lezzo" ... back then I didn't speak English that well so I didn't realize the sexual innuendo at all :shock:

First site I ever saw, I think, is still accessible:
http://dball.free.fr/dball/
I think its been online since at least 1997 maybe earlier

There where a few sites I found "The basics of Dragonball" from. I most likely found out about these sites from either the Beckett DBZ Magazine or a simple Google search.

- Dragonball Angels was a Goten shrine I visited back then, had some "interesting" stuff on Goten and Trunks lol. That's where I heard my first clips of Movie 10 in Japanese! :D

- Dragon Ball Arena was a general Dragonball news site. Saw some clips, listened to some music, general crap I used to do in the late '90s to early '00s. :P

- Temple 'O Trunks Oh come ON every Dragonball fan has visited this site at one point in their lives! :P And yes, I loved the "Trunks Feature Films" section. :mrgreen:

- Dragonball Z GT Sure, the URL says "Myfavoritegames", but I always called this site "Dragonball Z GT" as that's what the tab in IE/Firefox/whatever told me! :P Images galore here, I think this is where I happened to find "Dragonball AF" and the images looked weird, like they were Photoshopped. :lol:
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

Fan of Dragon Ball Z and various other Anime since '98! ^^

Jeez, I don't know if I can even remember. I think it was the official site at the time, probably because I just typed "Dragon Ball Z" into Google. :P

Not at all true. There was a time back in the day when TOT was more popular than DaizEX.

Anyway, my very first DB site was funimation.net back before they even HAD a dedicated DBZ page but just a DB and DBZ section on their company page!

The very first DBZ fansite I stumbled across was called Kosmo's Dragon Ball Page on a Netconx.net server. It was the first time I ever realized there was anything to the series beyond Goku landing on Namek. I honestly thought the series as a whole was cancelled after that point, but he had all these images of Gotenks and Trunks and all this stuff I'd never seen before!

Somehow, I'm very happy to hear that. :)

My first site visit was Dragonball paradijs.

*Sigh*....looking at wallpapers revealing series WAY ahead of time (DBGT). Trying to figure out who or what...making your own little theorie story. Good times. :mrgreen:

I've seen Temple O' Trunks a LONG time ago. Had it linked as a favorite. Another one was planetnamek.com I believe. Kamehouse.net. Um... This one http://www.myfavoritegames.com/ was a favorite of mine. Lot of information. Also, Vegeta Insane, only because I was a kid who was a Vegeta fan and found some stuff on there hilarious, like song parodies and whatnot.

Now of course this site and Kanzentai are the only places I still visit.

I probably visited the terrible official FUNi DBZ site with Cyboars and Morris Bros first.

After that, it was either VegettoEX's home page, DBZ uncensored, or Benny Lee's DB/Z/GT.

This was one of my first DBZ websites I visited. It was great for comparing the original uncut Japanese to the censored English episodes.

Heh, I remember how easily I used to amuse myself back in 2000 with the official site, rapidly flashing my mouse over the icons of that flash-intensive site:

Makes me ROFL. :lol:
