From unveiling the infamous biological sciences professor Anita Flick photos to faking snow closings on News 14, members of The Wolf Web have done it all.

They’ve even scammed the Campus Police blotter, which resulted in four arrests for hacking onto the site. And it isn’t uncommon for any of the 28,000 members of this site to take over an entire other message board.

According to the info page, the Web site was launched April 1, 2000 by Jake Morgan, an alumnus in mechanical engineering. Specialty features of the site include a photo gallery, book and ride exchange and the main feature — message boards.

Jonathan Merlini, a freshman in mathematics, said that while he visited the Web site once, he did not create an account.

“I’m sure if I went to [the site] more often I’d think ‘this is amazing, why isn’t everyone on it’ — but I just haven’t,” he said.

Merlini said he had nothing against The Wolf Web or message boards in general, but it just wasn’t his “thing.”

Marie Waddill, a junior in textile and apparel management, said a classmate told her about the Web site freshman year, and since then she’s heard a couple of professors mention it for the school tool.

According to Waddill, the school tool is helpful because you can find out who is in your classes and get together to study or trade textbooks.

Although not sure of her exact post number, she said it was roughly equivalent to her boyfriend’s car mileage.

The anonymity of the boards can sometimes be a problem, according to Waddill, because being a girl puts you in a precarious position. However, she said it usually works out.

“Eventually you can trace someone back to someone you know,” she said. “There are definitely people worth knowing on there.”

Chris Crawford, a senior in natural resources, is a premium account holder on the site and paid $10 for three months of service.

His perks included a chat room feature and the ability to change his status name and embed photos and videos into his message board posts.

“It’s an amusing diversion. There are some funny people on there,” Crawford said. “Also you can find some amazing deals in the classifieds if you get to them soon enough.”

He said his least favorite aspect of the site is the lack of updates and the general lack of involvement of the site creators, because “it’s the same site year after year.”

Crawford said he doesn’t care much for “trolls” either, which he defined as users who post comments with the sole intent to inflame readers and other users.

Crawford’s advice to Wolf Web “n00bs” — internet slang for users new to a Web site — is simple.

“Make sure that you post the appropriate idea to the appropriate section … and don’t make your debut posting videos and images, [because] we’ve probably already seen them … scout the site out for a few days and just respond to threads … it will minimize flaming.”
