If this is true, our college campuses are far better off! For a year and a half, greeks have had free reign to cut each other down with total anonymity. Hopefully we'll have more civility now.

That is awesome! I have so many friends that were very hurt by that site. Unfortunately, they may be a victim of the "originator" syndrome and a more profitable model may show up in the future, but I am so glad they are gone. I know girls whose reputations were ruined by bitter enemies, men that were outed unfairly before they could work up the courage to do it themselves, sororities whose recruitments were decimated...it was truly a mess.

So JuicyCampus is shutting down, great.

It's only a matter of time before a copycat site starts up and does the same thing.

I fear the same thing. Why don't people learn?

True, but for example, if five copycat sites start up the readership will be more spread out. I know of one gossip site that was before JC, but the problem with JC is that EVERYBODY across the state knew about it. If a lot of copycat sites show up at the same time, it will be hard for one site to have the majority of the market share that JC had.

I always saw this website as a complete joke, I was even mentioned a few times lol.

But yeah, I agree, it's only a matter of time before a copycat website pops up.

Any copycats will have the same financial problems JC did - so probably won't last long.

The world will be a better place without it!

Awww you beat me to it! I am ecstatic it's finally going away. I just hope that copycat websites don't pop up like OTW said. This just made my day though especially with our recruitment coming up in the next weeks! The timing couldn't have been better!

Bye bye JuicyCampus.

That is great news. That site literally made me ill, and since recruitment is going on at my alma mater right now, I really hope no PNMs were influenced by it. Thank God that stupid website is gone!

I'm glad it's gone. Free speech is valuable, but that doesn't mean people aren't accountable for what they say.

it's not gone. juicy campus leads you to a new version and people are already posting.

Thank goodness this site is gone. It was a hinderance to recruitment and it hurt so many young vulnerable students. Perhaps this is one of the few good things about the economic downturn.. no sponsors for JC!

I was actually always amused on people's perspectives of my fraternity. As social chair, I found it informative to read how people viewed us and used it as a way to improve our image and parties. I won't say I'll exactly miss the site, but it was often an amusing diversion.

If you go to juicycampus it sends you to collegeacb.com. Its blogspot looks a lot like jc. I'm not sure if it is ran by the same people are not, but hopefully this one will die quickly and before more kids are hurt.
