toriyama.org was an amateur, fan-created website founded November 1998 by... The site incorporated previous works by the founders into a larger, all-encompassing site covering news, information, and more.
The site began to regularly run into bandwidth issues with its web host (bayside.net) by mid-1999, forcing multiple server moves and "lite" versions of the site coming back online. The site's owners lost control of the toriyama.org domain name in December 2000 when registration fees went unpaid.[2] The party responsible for squatting on the domain name attempted multiple times to extort significant funds from the original owners as well as other Dragon Ball fansite maintainers; the name was ultimately never recovered and remains privately owned by unknown parties today.

Legacy
Iterations of "The Dragon Ball Z Anti-Censorship Petition" on toriyama.org in early 1999 went on to set the groundwork for future releases from FUNimation. 3562 signatures were received in support of an uncut home video release, while 1631 signatures were received in support of uncut, bilingual, subtitled DVD releases; these signatures were provided to FUNimation CEO Gen Fukunaga by the site's administrative staff.[3]
That summer, the staff of toriyama.org began to work directly with FUNimation to investigate the feasibility of and business plan for releasing uncut, bilingual, subtitled DVD releases for the Dragon Ball franchise in America. On 01 October 1999, Brian Real posted a news story on toriyama.org formally announcing the upcoming DVD releases.[4] At the time, it was presumed the the fourth Dragon Ball Z theatrical film would be among the first of these DVD releases, and that the television series would pick up with "Season Three" (roughly episode 68) of the Dragon Ball Z television series.
In July 2000, toriyama.org revealed that staff member Steven J. Simmons would provide the official subtitle translation track for FUNimation's forthcoming DVDs.[5]
