CommuniTree  

Definition

  • CommuniTree was a San Francisco–based electronic bulletin-board service (BBS) begun in 1978 as a social experiment in free speech and community building. Closed as a result of vandalism by young users in 1982, CommuniTree's destruction is one of the earliest documented examples of deviant user behavior in an online environment.
