Uwstudent.org

www.uwstudent.org (abbreviated as UWS) was a student-run news website that operated from roughly 2000, until roughly 2007. It was shut down after the students running it graduated.

History
The original UWS members were two students, Rob Schmidt and Ryan Chen-Wing. The first posts on UWS were made throughout December 1999, and were mostly tests of readiness for the site. The first posts of substance started in January 2000.

Throughout the following years, UWS posted news articles and opinion pieces about events on UW campus, and collected the opinions of the students through comments on the articles and polls.

The site operated until at least January 2007. The domain name and server remained dormant until 2009. As of June 2013, the domain name appears to be held by a spam website.
