==Overview==
Weezer-Rules was active from August [[1995]] until around [[2000]]. At its peak in [[1998]], it had roughly 1,000 subscribers.<ref>Joel Abbott (April 18, 1998). "Intro". Weezer-Rules homepage. Archived from the original at https://web.archive.org/web/19980425033327/http://gartholamew.com/MailingLists/weezer-rules/intro.txt.</ref> Daily [[Wikipedia:Email digest|digests]] sent to members were archived on the list's homepage by Abbott, making the list's message history accessible to nonsubscribers. Many of these archived digests were, in turn, archived by the Internet Archive's [[Wikipedia:Wayback_Machine|Wayback Machine]], making them accessible in the present day. These archives are some of the earliest online Weezer discussion which remains publicly available.
