History
[edit source]In the beginning, the project was only available under steadily changing internet addresses due to problems with illegal content, but grew into one of the largest German-language online communities.
In February 2008 gulli.com was acquired by the Inqnet GmbH in Vienna and the parting team, Richard "Korrupt" Joos, Randolf "gulli" Jorberg and Axel "LexaT" Gönnemann published a book named gulli wars in August 2008, talking about the cyber war tales experienced.[2] In July 2013 gulli.com was sold to Gamigo AG.
The board had more than 1 million registered users. It cooperated with companies and hackers concerning net security, such as PayPal in 2011.[3]
Since 2018, the board is unavailable, with a placeholder website promising its return.
