 The '''Rivers Correspondence Board''' (originally named '''Rivers Criticism Board''' and commonly abbreviated RCB) was a fan-run bulletin board in existence from 2002-2005. The board gained notoriety through posts from [[Rivers Cuomo]], who frequented the board as [[Rivers Cuomo#Posting on fan forums|'Ace']] from February through July of 2002 and again in March of 2003.
-Hello everyone! I don't know where to start but hope this site will be useful for me.

-In first steps it is very nice if somebody supports you, so hope to meet friendly and helpful people here. Let me know if I can help you.
+The Rivers Criticism Board was started in early 2002 by three fans (screennames: Asschun, Pickles in my Undies & Queero McGayguy) who were unhappy with the discourse of the main Weezer forums on the official site and other ezboards. The three opened the RCB as a place to air their grievances with the band's then-current output (the ''[[Maladroit]]'' sessions). The board grew in membership after it was hinted that a poster known as "ace" was Rivers. This was soon confirmed when ace posted of his wish to grow a beard days before pictures first surfaced of Rivers with a beard.
-Thanks in advance and good luck! :)
+With the influx of new members, the ruling triumvirate closed off public access, set up a registration system and banned users for the most trivial of issues, as well as changed the board's official name to Rivers Correspondence Board. After a few weeks, forum founder Pickles had a falling out with the other two and deleted the board. However, the other two started the RCB back up, where it remained until its deletion in 2005, following ''[[Make Believe]]''.
