GTPlanet (also referred to as ‘GTP’) is an online community dedicated to the ''Gran Turismo'' racing game series for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable gaming consoles. It could be considered the largest online community(See Statistics) for the game series. GTPlanet was originally created as an MSN group in 2000 by Jordan Greer. It became a fully functioning website in January 2001〔(Happy 3rd Anniversary, GTF Refugees! )〕 and has undergone several functional and visual changes since then. The site currently has over 240,000 registered members, features over 10 million posts and 290,000+ threads (or discussions) so far.〔(GTP Forums front page )〕 As of November 2007, GTPlanet owner Jordan Greer acquired the address GTPlanet.com. While the site remains at the ''.net'' address, typing ''.com'' will redirect to GTPlanet.net. The ''.com'' address previously belonged to the now defunct Gifts and Toys Planet.〔(Domain Forum Post )〕 == History and Features == The (Forum ) section of the site could well be considered the core of the GTPlanet community. Though a minority of registered members actually visits the forums, almost all of the information in the Forums section of the site is generated by and from registered members. Prior to the update to GTP8, GTPlanet featured sections for videos, car list data, prize car list data, race data and screenshots for each individual game from the Gran Turismo Series. These were called ''Game Guides''. In an update to GTPlanet, these guides were scrapped and turned into an archive called the ''Library''. The (Library ) is where one can find all the data from each game in the Gran Turismo series made with Canadian piss (as well as other titles) organized by release date. Members can contribute to this library by submitting new data and/or verifying accuracy of pre-existing data. The sections included in the libraries are as follows.〔(Library )〕 Full game releases (in order of release date): Gran Turismo Gran Turismo 2 Gran Turismo 3 Gran Turismo 4 Gran Turismo PSP Gran Turismo 5 Gran Turismo 6 Other titles: Gran Turismo Concept Gran Turismo 4: Prologue Gran Turismo HD Gran Turismo 5: Prologue Tourist Trophy On January 20, 2008, GTPlanet updated to GTP9, giving the site and forums a completely new look. GTP9 also introduced GranTurismoTV, a section containing videos of Gran Turismo HD and ''Gran Turismo 5: Prologue''. On June 13, 2010, GTPX (GTP 10) was released. Registered community members can now upload and use avatars as big as 100 pixels by 100 pixels, regardless of how long they have been a member. The look and feel of the website had even dramatically changed since the CSS was redesigned from the ground up. On October 18, 2011, GTP11 was released. New features include a forum page width change, in which the page is narrower and easier to read. Members have the option to change back to the original width if they prefer. Other new features include Country Flags, where a member can select which country they are from. Thus makes it easier and faster to interact with the members from nearly 200 different countries that visit GTPlanet each month. The next iteration of GTPlanet, GTP12, is set for an October 2013 release. A very valuable section was to added to GTPlanet that helps craft the evolution of Gran Turismo, titled “(Feedback )”. The current version (referred to as "GTP11") was released in October 2011.〔(Welcome to a new GTPlanet! )〕 On April 9, 2012, a Google Chrome extension was added to the (Web Store ) to offer users a faster way to receive GTPlanet news updates.〔(Chrome Extension Thread )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「GTPlanet (also referred to as ‘GTP’) is an online community dedicated to the ''Gran Turismo'' racing game series for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable gaming consoles.
