Columbine shooters | Eric Harris | Eric's webpages
Eric Harris had a very active online presence: He participated in Doom deathmatches and played on a Quake team, the Rebel Clan. He made website journals where he posted about the games he played and had more than one screenname he used to chat on AOL and WBS with, including Rebdomine, Rebdoomer, and Rebldomakr. He distributed the levels he made for first-person shooter games he liked to play such as Doom WADs and Duke Nukem .MAP files. He posted the lyrics of his favorite songs from KMFDM and other bands he liked, and he wrote rage-filled rants about life -- web posts that became the subject of much public scrutiny after April 20, 1999.

In the months that followed the shooting at Columbine High, the contents of his websites were sealed by the FBI. It was difficult to locate this information afterward as AOL and WBS removed the content once the FBI was done with it. I managed to get in and save several files from his accounts before the directories were deleted, but the HTML (webpage) files were already gone by the time I was able to access them. I did find the pages from a couple of his WBS pages, which contained bad "Jo Mamma" jokes and song lyrics. The Columbine Report had scans of the text versions of several of his AOL webpages, but it's only the text. What the actual sites looked like is gone for good.

Back in 1999, I displayed the graphics I'd saved along with relevant links I tracked down in a format I thought would give the reader a better sense of what they looked like when used on a webpage. Unfortunately, some mistook my pages to be copies of Eric's actual websites. These pages were copied and posted on other sites that claimed they were mirrors of REB's work. I have since changed the pages so it is more obvious that they are not mirrors. Hopefully this will help clear up the minsinformation. The AOL directories that are mirrored here are actual copies. They appear as they did when I accessed them shortly after the shooting, when the FBI got done with them. These directories were taken down a week after the URLs were made public.

To be clear: Eric's actual webpages were removed from the Internet by the FBI before the URL addresses were released to the public. There are NO COPIES of Eric Harris' actual websites out there. Any site claiming to have them is wrong. If you see content elsewhere that resembles these pages, you can be sure they're just copies of my original mock-up displays and NOT Eric's website.
