Am I Evil? Yes I Am! Since 1999
Majin Planet was created on December 13th 1999, by MajinMebs as a Dragon Ball Fandom website. The website was passed down from one webmaster to another until Darth Unrivaled took over in May of 2005. Since then, Majin Planet has grown and become a creator-driven center for all things collecting.
Built from decades of fandom history, Majin Planet brings together toy reviews, reactions, and collecting, while never losing sight of our roots.
I'm Richard, aka Professor Prime
My story begins in the summer of 1996, when I received my first AOL disc in the mail, marking the start of my internet journey. I remember going to my local library and searching on AskJeebs for a show called Dragon Ball, which I had seen early mornings. I found some fansites dedicated to it, sparking my curiosity about online communities.
Although new to web development, I had been programming in BASIC on a Commodore 64 since I was around 10 and learning Machine Language on a PC. This background made picking up HTML feel manageable, fueling my confidence to create websites.
After taking some time learning HTML by renting books at my local library, I opened up my first web page on AOL's free server space, which was like 2MB, in the fall of 1996. This moment marked my first real step into web development, and I want readers to feel inspired by the idea that starting small can lead to meaningful progress.
Over the next few years, I learned more and more. I created websites on free web hosts like GeoCities and Angelfire. My first website was called XFIRE. However, in 1999, after begging my mom to allow me to pay for hosting through a company called Dell Hosting, I was able to get my first domain name; sadly, XFIRE was taken, leaving a blank coming soon page—so I took the name XfireSystems.com.
Why XfireSystems?
At the time, I wanted to be a software engineer. I wanted to build worlds and program games. Xfire came from my old fan sites, which were all about Dragon Ball, Gundam, Pokemon, Magic (ticks, not the card game), and whatever I was into at the time. After launching the site in Spring 1999, I quickly started learning it was a lot of work and soon learned JavaScript and Java. I also took an interest in Flash and other media formats on the World Wide Web at the time.
Majin Planet
I discovered the site around 2002-2003. A few years out of high school now, when I wasn't working or taking care of my mom, I was coding, building websites. I launched several smaller websites that I dubbed the XfireSystems Network. My dream was to be the go-to place for everything—forums, Search, Content, etc. Blogging and wiki hadn't become common terms yet by 2003; at least it was not as common a term as it is today.
My shift from a software coder dream had shifted to web design, and I had joined the anime community, making XfireSystems an anime fan site while helping other web admins online build their own worlds. This led me to meeting Prince Majin Trunks in 2004, the current webmaster of Majin Planet.
Because of my drive, skills, and willingness to never give up on my dream, Majin Trunks offered me Majin Planet in the summer of 2005; that was 25-plus years ago.
Over the years, I've been known by many names: Darth Unrivaled, Neckar Unrivaled, The Armadillo, Professor M, Professor Prime, and simply Majin.
The webmasters of Majin Planet
MajinMebs
Creator of Majin Planet and first webmaster. MajinMebs was the first to bring Majin Planet to the web, with his fanfictions and AMVs, setting the framework for what Majin Planet would become.
Today, Majin Mebs has worked as a designer full-time since 2006.
Corrupted Avatar
The first person to take over webmaster duties from MajinMebs. Not much is known about him, as he left the site shortly after in 2002—a very good AMV creator. Here at Majin Planet, we'd love to get back in touch and find out what he's been up to all these years.

Prince Majin Trunks
Webmaster of Majin Planet around 2002. A very talented AMV editor and web coder. Prince Majin Trunks rebranded the site as Samurai Spirit in 2004 before bringing it back to Majin Planet in early 2005.
Today, Majin Trunks left his job to follow his dream as a software engineer.
Majin Planet Through the Years
Majin Planet was founded in 1999 as a Dragon Ball fansite built around AMVs, fan art, fan fiction, anime info, and contests, establishing itself as a hub for fans since then. Over the years, the website evolved with the times, changing hands a few times, rebranding, merging, and shifting direction; one thing has always stayed the same — Majin Planet has stayed true to being a place of fandom.
