BCO is a
messageboard which first debuted in October, 2001.
It was created to replace the punkforum.com
(abbr. PFC) messageboard, which in turn
was a replacement for messages.punkrock.net (abbr.
PRN) messageboard. With an
ever-growing userbase of over 3,500 members, topics of discussion
vary widely from music to "what are you wearing?"
(usually taking place on Thursdays) to how tough and/or
lousy Philadelphia is.
BCO primarily stands for
board.crewcial.org. It is also the name
of the corresponding forum software, which is open-source, and can be found
on SourceForge. The messageboard is
currently run by Ian Meyer, who now lives in Philadelphia.
Traditions
of this board have been to shame and berate "n00bs" (new posters)
and to post "n00dz" of fellow posters.
These mechanisms served well to keep the BCO elite in
charge.
To many, the BCO board is a place full of mean-spirited
insults, latent homosexuality, racism, sexism, and other
disparaging comments. To those who post
there, BCO is far more. It has become a
tightly-knit community with informative posts, helpful advice, and
friendly people. That does not mean,
however, that the aforementioned negatives don't exist; quite the
contrary, in fact.
BCO is a unique place on the
internet. Whereas most messageboards
feature animated smiley faces, avatars, moderators, ban lists,
etc., BCO has simply none of those things.
It is a completely unmoderated, anything-goes free
space, where almost nothing is beyond reproach.
This very freedom is what makes the board an often
hostile place, and in that regard it is microcosm to human
existance.
Despite the incessant fighting, complaining, and
otherwise pervasive negativity, BCO is a welcome place for
many. When the September 11 attacks
happened, and most major news outlets were flooded with traffic,
BCO's userbase, then posting on the PFC messageboard, kept each
other updated during the havoc, provided news to one another, and
generally helped keep others calm. This
same attitude often comes through at BCO.
(Most recently, it was evident during the attacks on
the London Underground in July 2005.)
The diversity of posters
ensures that there is a resident expert for almost any type of
question/problem. Several of the posters
are computer programmers, providing help to other users for a
variety of problems, ranging from the common "What the hell is
wrong with my iPod?," to the
larger "Someone please help me debug this block of
Java." There are posters who are
registered nurses, veternarian assistants, dermatologists, bankers,
architects, etc. Even the son of famed music journalist
Lester Bangs
is known to make an appearance every now and then (usually to
engage in Literati
tournaments). And don't worry, there are
several dozen self-proclaimed experts in any and every subject
imaginable. This unique mixture allows
BCO to be extremely helpful, as long as one can deal with the often
rude and sarcastic comments that accompany almost any
thread.

11. what were PRN, PFC, network54 and
WAM?PRN and PFC were both messageboards similar to
BCO.
PRN was punkrock.net and PFC was
punkforum.com as BCO is board.crewcial.org
PFC went up after PRN
went down. then after PFC went down, posters invaded vincent
gallo's messageboard and had messageboards at network54 all until
WAM went up. WAM was the same
messageboard as BCO but the title was "wicked ass messageboard" so
people called it WAM. board.crewcial.org used to be called
messages.thevidablue.com for the members of the band and friends to
post things on but ian decided to take it a step further and
implement authentication ( which up to ver 2.0 it was lacking ).
then he told a friend on aim and the next thing he knew.... the
spirit of pr.n pf.c was back. it went through many code revisions,
mainly because ian is crazy and is never satisfied with anything he
does and is probably planning another code rewrite right now. then
some legal issues involving some fucking hippies occurred and to
spare himself legal trouble he switched the name to
board.crewcial.org. all incarnations of WAM live on the same
machine hosted wonderfully by avalon networks Inc.

of the vincent gallo board. supposedly, he called her FLIPPING OUT

tell the invaders to stop.
