With the influx of new members -- and in response to a request from Cuomo, who wished for privacy from the media -- the ruling triumvirate closed off public access, set up a registration system and banned users for the most trivial of issues. 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]]''. | With the influx of new members -- and in response to a request from Cuomo, who wished for privacy from the media -- the ruling triumvirate closed off public access, set up a registration system and banned users for the most trivial of issues.

During his time posting on the RCB, Rivers let fans in on his songwriting frame of mind, and quite often, in a confrontational manner, proclaimed his preferance for the current and future output of the band over the ''[[Pinkerton]]'' and ''[[Blue Album]]'' material. In one of Rivers' most famous episodes, Rivers called "[[Only in Dreams]]" "GAY!GAY!GAY! [[Disney gay|DISNEYGAY!]]" During this time, Rivers spoke of a desire for fan input on some issues, such as which songs should be on ''Maladroit''. However, he largely ignored the opinion to go back to more personal songwriting, claiming that while he may in the future, for the present, he envisioned writing perfect pop songs. | During his time posting on the RCB, Rivers let fans in on his songwriting frame of mind, and quite often, in a confrontational manner, proclaimed his preferance for the current and future output of the band over the ''[[Pinkerton]]'' and ''[[Blue Album]]'' material.
