For several years, TRHQ was an extensive Team Rocket website and popular message board. The site was originally hosted on a free server; when it became popular, it was moved, erased, moved, erased, and moved yet again to a pay server. The last incarnation of the site was called TRHQ: NEXT, possibly as a devotion to the anime series Slayers NEXT, which was at the time popular with many of the forum members. Eventually, Josh lost interest in Pokémon and devoted his time to his budding webcomic career, and the site was abolished. Forum member YamatoKyouryu then created the current ezboard, TRHQ2, which was run by MargauxZ and Silver_Vaporeon8514 until August 2007. The majority of members at the current message board were present at the original site back in 1999; many of its members are no longer interested outright in Pokémon, but still post to keep ties with their old friends.
The site currently has no moderators. As the community is mostly made up of a small group of fans who, for the most part, are quite familiar with each other, there is generally little conflict.
The TRHQ website contained information and media related to Team Rocket, including:
- Character bios
- Interviews with English-language voice actors Eric Stuart and Rachael Lillis
- Image gallery
- Fanart library
- Fanfiction library
- Video clips from the anime series and movies
- Ask Team Rocket, where fans could ask "Team Rocket" questions and get in-character replies

In May 2007, the site was hacked and almost entirely deleted. Former members SpookieMeggie (formerly known as peanutbuttermewtwo) and ArkNorth, who did not want to lose the history in the site, banded together and attempted to restore the forums. As of December 2007, with the help of the SuperModerators at ezboard, a full restoration of the TRHQ2 board was completed. ArkNorth serves as administrator.
With the forum's reconstruction, new features have been added:
- A Rules Forum, which were originally posted off-board
- Archive Forums for some of the massive RPGs that ran on TRHQ2 in the past
- New forums for non-Pokémon topics and other anime and manga
- A new deviantART co-site as a host site for images members want to archive
- A chat room
- As of March 2008, the site has no advertisements
