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. | 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 name of the board was also changed 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]]''. | ||
