The main site was founded on September 9, 1995 by Yi-Chin Tu ( ''Dù Yìjǐn''), then a sophomore in the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering at National Taiwan University. PTT2 was founded in 2000, with the aim of providing a similar system centered around groups and individuals.
