The website was first registered in 1996, and was first hosted by a person "Soylent", he made a program that can easily identify unregistered internet domain names, only consisting of one word on a dictionary entry, after searching, he found a word Rotten was one of the unclaimed words on the domain, so he later went on to register with Rotten.com, this is where it starts off, Rotten.com has based itself as an online free speech, in a time, when censorship rules had begun to restrict internet access from many people.
The site receives a lot of popularity, resulting in a lot of huge spikes for a couple of months, due to the post of medical personnel recovering Princess Diana's body from a car accident, after a while, the picture was revealed to be fake, The website was also one of the first websites to publish images of the September 11th jumpers from the Twin Towers, under the title 'Swan Dive'.
