Featured article: Weezer-Rules mailing list

Weezer-Rules was a public mailing list centered around Weezer discussion maintained by Joel Abbott, RR Hornback, and Jay Baker. The list's first message was sent on August 29, 1995, and it remained active until around 2000. At its peak in 1998, it had roughly 1,000 subscribers. Weezer-Rules was frequented by Mykel and Carli Allan, heads of the Weezer Fan Club; Daniel Brummel and Jose Galvez of Ozma; and Anuj Behal and Dan Gdowski of weezer.net.

The mailing list was featured in the Fall 1997 issue of Weezine alongside other contemporary fan websites.

Daily digests sent to members were archived on the list's homepage by Abbott, making the list's message history accessible to nonsubscribers. Many of these archived digests were, in turn, archived by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, making them accessible in the present day. These archives are some of the earliest online Weezer discussion which remains publicly available.

Featured quote: Scott Shriner on "King", June 3, 2008.

"King" was my favorite demo on Rivers' "Deliverance at Hand" demos. It wasn't getting voted into the pool, so I called him and said "This song is the shit, everybody is crazy!" He said, "Oh yeah? you sing it then," I said "Oh yeah? Okay, I will!"
