There was a general consensus among fans at the time of the sisters' passing that things would never be the same again - and they were right. Their passing was a contributing factor in the band's nearly three-year-long [[Weezer#Hiatus|hiatus]] that ensued. Koch made a herculean effort to maintain the fan club, but it proved more than he had the time and resources for, and it eventually ceased to exist. The primary reason for this happening was due to the fact that around this time, the internet was exploding, and Koch's involvement with the band's official site more or less supplanted the full necessity of a fan club. | There was a general consensus among fans at the time of the sisters' passing that things would never be the same again - and they were right.

Though much effort was admirably put forth, the organization failed to gain traction. However alongside the release of [[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]] in 2014, the fan club was revived once more. Now run by Koch and Lisa Eubank, the fan club became a primarily internet-based venture, being focused around a Facebook group and an app. This fan club is the current iteration and has since blossomed, with certain Weezer songs and merchandise only being available to members. These include the singles “[[The Last Days of Summer]]” and "[[It's Been So Long]]". This iteration also fully keeps the legacy of the original intact, with those who joined in the original era still being members. Through this the efforts of Mykel and Carli still resonate to this day. | ||
