TL:DR -> go Here, go to bottom, select all, opt out. Peter Frank Makes Bank.
Today, I was browsing the internet, looking for an article of clothing to buy myself for my birthday. I visited two websites of people that make clothes. Shortly thereafter, I visited the ACB. I noticed, to my surprise, that the [...]

What is it?
Honestly, everybody take a breath from your various blackout/caffeinated and stressed beyond all reason agendas and come up with something productive that could be implemented next semester.
My Ideas:
1. This Green Fund seems like a great idea (especially the part about not including the administration), but what about some simpler things? A friend of [...]

While videos about the ACB are still fresh in people’s minds, this is for posterity:
November 29, 2009 – 11:57 PM
Very mainstream news organization TIME magazine has published an article about CollegeACB, the enfant terrible masterminded by our own Peter Frank ‘12 from his dorm room.
If you remember, last year Frank bought gossip website Juicycampus and expanded his Anonymous Confession Board empire to 500 schools. Wesleyan’s is the most heavily frequented, and according to TIME, [...]
Like many alumns, former Argus writer Eric Lach ‘08 has been thinking about Wesleyan a lot in the past few days. He wrote a short piece for the New Yorker’s News Desk blog about being connected to the campus tragedy and kept up-to-date with all the coverage on Wesleying, the ACB, Facebook, and President Roth’s [...]

From the minds behind the ACB and senior hookups–which will allow underclassmen to register as well beginning “tomorrow night”–comes Together in 100, which aims to match up aspiring couples through 100-character descriptions. The form on the right asks for your e-mail address, and each profile has a “contact” link underneath, so I’d assume it works [...]

Peter Frank ‘12, the entrepreneur behind College ACB, has noticed the steadily increasing number of anonymous posters begging seniors to have sex with them before graduating. The result is a fresh abomination meant to facilitate the process: “Senior Hookups“, a blunter, more temporally specific incarnation of the now defunct (?) WesMatch.
Yes, Senior Hookups, featuring the [...]
The first confirmed act for Spring Fling this year is CLIPSE.
Confirmed by Myspace, which has them performing at Wesleyan University on the 6th of May this year, two weeks after they’re at Coachella.
So we’ve got a big rap act down. Based on previous years I would still expect another headlining act with indie cred, and [...]

So, apparently trolls have taken over the Wes CollegeAcb, causing the admin to take some desperate measures.
More on this incredibly important story, as it develops.

You might notice that if you go to the now-defunct juicycampus.com, it redirects you to CollegeACB. CollegeACB was created earlier this year (I guess, technically, last year, but this school year) by Aaron Larner ‘08 and Andrew Mann from JHU, but is now owned and operated by Peter Frank ‘12. Most of the [...]

Holly Wood ‘08 sends in an article that prominently features JuicyCampus.com… you know, the gossip website that made an attempt a while ago to take away posters from the Wesleyan ACB and failed miserably.The header of JuicyCampus says “C’mon. Give us the juice. Posts are totally, 100% anonymous.” In contrast, the CollegeACB [...]

Apparently the ACB is popular. This is understandable: we long for the days when the internet was a place to be anonymous – now, of course, the very nature of online social networking requires our participation, lest we allow ourselves to be defined by others.
Wesleyan students now have two new options for anonymity online:

So JuicyCampus.com – the younger but more global version of the ACB – is getting a lot of attention in the media. It was created by “Mr. Ivester” of Sigma Phi Epsilon, and according to a NYT article, a student from Yale has had a porn film exposed and there’s been the general outing of [...]

Have you heard about Juicy Campus?
I hadn’t, until I came across a column in Newsweek’s Education section called “Modern-Day McCarthyism“. In the column, Evan Thomas, a journalism professor at Princeton, compares Juicy Campus to Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s smear tactics in the 1950s:
The bullies and gossips have found a way of exploiting a new medium—the Internet—to [...]

The ACB XIV seems to have died, so I can’t announce this there, as I normally do. I’m not sure why it died, or how, but it seems to be inaccessable (although people can still make comments on it, apparently, because the last one was at 4:15 this afternoon).
Anyways, I present to you, the [...]

One anonymous commenter asked what the deal with the firebombing talk on the ACB is about. Surprisingly, this was not about chocolate sauce in various orifices, but rather, an incident that occurred 17 years ago in 1990.
An Argus Article from 2004 described the incident:
On April 7, 1990 at 4 a.m. a fist-sized rock was thrown [...]
Lauren Barth ‘09 is writing maybe the best research paper ever about the ACB. She needs to interview a freshman, a junior, and a senior, but “The perspectives of people of any class year who post un-anonymously or who have been mentioned frequently would also be especially welcome”. In true ACB spirit, your comments will [...]

“Hir (hirs): Gender neutral for him and her. At Wesleyan University, incoming freshmen are instructed to use gender-neutral pronouns in campus correspondence. As one person wrote on the university’s online Anonymous Confession Board, “I am usually attracted only to people of hir original gender, rather than hir intended [...]
