It was acquired in September 1999 by Knapp Communications Pty Limited, a Sydney-based publisher of high-end Information Technology magazines, including Image & Data Manager, idm.net.au (Image and Data Manager's companion website), and Internet World Australia.

Knapp Communications has used its resources and knowledge of the Internet to develop the site and grow the audience, which is now increasing by 300 per cent per annum.
