In 2001, Italian fan Giovanni Pollastri first met Stewart Copeland and discussef the fan site he had created for him. Giovanni's fan site would soon become the Stewart Copeland Official Site, originally located at www.stewartcopeland.it.[1]

On September 27, 2004, the webdomain www.stewartcopeland.net was registered by Eugenio Brambilla. This would be the new home for the Stewart Copeland Official Site, originally created by Giovanni Pollastri. The new site would be headed up by Giovanni and Eugenio, with the assistance of several other fans in Italy.[2]

On February 7, 2005, the stewartcopeland.net forum was opened at the Stewart Copeland Official Site.[3] These messageboards would become the primary on-line community for Stewart fans on-line, particularly after Stewart himself registered on the board on March 11 of that year and occasionally participated in the discussion.

On September 28, 2006, Stewarts' Dinner Tales was opened on the stewartcopeland.net forums. This sub-forum, moderated by Stewart himself, contained blog postings about his various post-Police experiences.[4]

On December 21, 2007, Stewart posted his holiday wishes to his fans on his website, referring to them as nutters for the first time, a term which the fans had been using on the messageboard for several months.[5]
