Capsule Corporation was an amateur, fan-created website founded 17 January 1997 by Glenn Wang (who went under the username "Dr. Briefs"). In addition to general character information, links, etc., Capsule Corporation served as the web-based home for the "Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z FAQ", a text-based document shared by Wang on his website and within communities like alt.fan.dragonball and rec.arts.anime where Wang was also an active participant.
Features
Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z FAQ
The "Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z FAQ" was an extensive, multi-part text document containing various tidbits and archives of information about the Dragon Ball franchise, including video games, films,
Creation of the FAQ seems to have been prompted by a thread started on rec.arts.anime in December 1995 with a user asking for a link to the "famous" one (which a later user proposes may have been one created by Curtis Hoffmann).[1]. In response, Wang proposes that fans reading the thread work together to create one.
