In the official programme of the just concluded Aviva Open Singapore 2005, there is an article titled “Virtual Reality of Badminton”. In it, www.badmintoncentral.com is one of the websites featured.
The introduction to this article reads,
“When serious fans of badminton aren’t playing the game, they’re usually reading or talking about it. And increasingly, this exchange of ideas takes place on the world-wide web. Did you know that if you type the word ‘badminton’ into a search engine, you can access more than 4 million listings related to the sport? Type ‘badminton website’, and in a split second, you will have more than 170,000 websites from which to choose.”

The write-up for www.badmintoncentral.com is as follows:
“If you want to chat with other badminton aficionados living around the world, you have come to the right place! The bulletin board service on this website offers some of the most well-informed and opinionated discussion on all issues related to badminton. But be nice. It’s a friendly board, and we’re sure they aim to keep it that way! The website also runs stories on news, training, players, events but we log on regularly for the forum discussions. The posters don’t always agree with each other, but it’s clear that they have one thing in common: a passion for badminton. The board has good international representation (so, it isn’t dominated by one viewpoint) and the posters seem like a genuinely helpful bunch. Need some advice on the best lens to use for badminton photography? Ask here. Looking for some video downloads from a specific match? Someone here can probably help. Does anyone remember who won the Men’s Singles event at the Asian Championships in 1976? We’ll bet that someone here can probably tell you. What more could you want from a forum?”
