While Weezer was being formed, the World Wide Web was still more of a concept than an actual thing. Screen grabs of the site from this decade are difficult to come by, and the Internet Archive only has a collection of failed attempts to document the site in 1998 and 1999. During the '90s, weezer.com either didn't exist or was a fan-owned domain. | While Weezer was being formed, the World Wide Web was still more of a concept than an actual thing.

The site that would eventually become weezer.com started as weezer.net, founded in late 1994 by [[Anuj Behal]], [[Dan Gdowski]], and Steve Carman, and assisted by a few others at times. Anuj Behal ran a server out of his dorm room at college in Chicago, which enabled weezer.net to host the earliest video clips of weezer on the web, such as the band's 1994 and 1995 TV appearances. | The site that would eventually become weezer.com started as weezer.net, founded in late 1994 by [[Anuj Behal]], [[Dan Gdowski]], and Steve Carman, and assisted by a few others at times.

[[Karl Koch]] was not 'online' until 9/98, but soon thereafter discussed with Anuj and Dan running a online version of [[Karl's Corner]] on weezer.net, to do real time updates of the band's activities. At the time however (1999), the band was mostly inactive and Karl was busy running the [[weezer Fan Club]], which went to his responsibility after the deaths of Fan Club founders Mykel and Carli Allan in July 1997. | [[Karl Koch]] was not 'online' until 9/98, but soon thereafter discussed with Anuj and Dan running a online version of [[Karl's Corner]] on weezer.net, to do real time updates of the band's activities.
