In 2007, the World Tournament acted as the first global pen spinning competition, and pen spinners from communities centered around the world could join. Since the early 2000s, video hosting websites, such as YouTube, and a growing number of other Internet forums from various countries have been used to share videos and to centralize the community, which has contributed to a rise in popularity of pen spinning. The number and variations of tricks has since grown into at least the hundreds, with newer tricks such as the Shadow, Palm Spin, and Bust. PenDolSa, an unrelated Korean pen spinning board released in 2003, was the first large-scale pen spinning forum. The Universal Pen Spinning Board was an English-speaking board created with the goal to be the first forum in which pen spinners from any website or location around the world could communicate, and would later close during October 2018. As the popularity of the website and its forum grew and their limits became apparent, Kam closed Pentrix and redistributed its information to a sequel website (which would also close) and to a new forum titled the Universal Pen Spinning Board, opened on January 19, 2004. Kam, who started spinning in 1993, created the website Pentrix in January 2000 in an attempt to create an easily accessible database and message board for pen spinning information and communication. In the United States, Fernando Kuo, better known by his online alias "Kam," was inspired by Kondoh's website to advance pen spinning and broaden its audience. Kondoh began pen spinning in the 1980s, and by 1998, he compiled and could perform 24 tricks, many of which he developed after learning techniques from other people. Hideaki Kondoh is considered the first pen spinning pioneer in Japan and is recognized with creating the first pen spinning website, released on December 1, 1997. Others in Japan spun pens at least as early as the 1970s however, the tricks performed were only basic ones, such as the ThumbAround and Sonic. The earliest record of pen spinning comes from a student in pre- WWII Japan. 3 Finger slots, notations, and breakdowns.
