Established in 1994, it's the Internet's oldest continuously operating planning-related Web site. Although Cyburbia was the very first online community related to urban planning (its forums today have almost 5,800 members and nearly 400,000 posts), it was not mentioned in the otherwise comprehensive "Building Cities in the Virtual World" article that appeared in Planning Magazine.
