Juicy Campus Gone
 
Hi everyone,
I posted this on the recruitment board but just in case you didn't hear, Juicy Campus is no longer online...there is a blog about it if you want to google...that is such great news as that site has been so detrimental to the greek system at so many college's. They stated the reason was due to the economy and ad revenue...

My daughter shared the happy news with me about the end of Juicy Campus during our daily phone conversation yesterday. Her sorority, along with all the others on her campus, have at one time or another had horrible things said about them. She is very glad to see that after today, Juicy Campus will be history.

No kidding! Especially when one person starts multiple threads. JC is gone. Yeah, we get it.

I don't think all that's necessary. I'd be willing to bet that the majority of GC members merely click "New Posts" upon returning to the site. I, too, am annoyed when I do so and see the same thing a million times in the list. My eyes tend to rush past them thinking they are spam selling Nikes at a great price. Not only does it clutter things up, but it doesn't foster good discussion. In this case there would be what - 3 or 4 different threads going on? It's best to allow everyone to express their opinions and thoughts in a single thread rather than follow all of them. Sure there might be the occasional poster who doesn't do the New Posts thing, but if they want to talk about JC, they'll find out where the conversation is going on.

As for making you feel welcome, if you like having rainbows shoved up your butt and a thread where everyone is throwing a party because you are here, this is not the place. If you've lurked here (and posted), then that should have already been obvious. No need for flouncing when it doesn't happen.

I've been around forever and read GC almost every day. But I don't post a lot, because a lot of it would be simply repeating the same advice or opinions that someone else has already posted. Again, I hate the clutter and reading the same things over and over again.

Flounce!

If you've been lurking on this site for "awhile" then you should know how much we dislike multiple threads on the same topic. So don't get your panties in a knot when someone expresses that dislike.

Good grief. I guess the non-Greek heli-mom told you OTW!

Fwap fwap flounce fwap fwap flounce

Thank you Ladybugmom -- I usually only read GreekChat during my down time on night shifts at the hospital or when I read my email, etc when I wake up and am not savvy enough to click on "new posts". Since I spend the majority of my time reading recruitment stories, this was the first and only post I saw about Juicy Campus being gone. I was so happy to see that someone else shared my delight that this site was gone! My daughter just finished recruitment and Juicy Campus made things harder for everyone at her campus. I appreciate your effort to inform us all!

Let's just breathe deeply and be thankful that the site which hurt so many people is gone ( at least for now).

Thank you Ladybugmom. You were the first to inform me of the good news. You made my day! My daughter is going through recruitment as we speak. The lack of JC for anyone to consult can only improve the recruitment experience.
Well, no, actually she wasn't the first one. You posted in someone else's thread about the very same topic (one of at least three I have seen!) over eight hours before posting here.

And I breath just fine, thanks. I just have a low tolerance for histrionics.

I read it in the upcoming section of Digg, anyway.

BURN!

I do.

The economics of making settlements to avoid lawsuits.

Yep, no doubt. Their revenue couldn't make up for the outgo. But, I bet they will be back in some other format.

Nothing like a "OMG! JUICY CAMPUS IS SHUTTING DOWN!" frenzy to generate a little interest for the new site.

Told ya!

It's real sad that everyone on here just rips each other to pieces. Let's all be sisterly, no matter how many threads she started! peace and love! :)

No one is ripping anyone apart here.

There just really doesn't need to be 2 threads about this website.

You have a lot more time than I do, because last I glanced, she had at least 16K posts.

Well that totally excuses you then.

Agreed. And now there are two more for a grand total of 4 :rolleyes: They couldn't ask for better advertising.

When do we get to hear about all the supportive PMs these heli's are getting?

KSUViolet06 02-07-2009 02:38 AM
I seriously think one thread in Greek Life about Juicy Campus is pretty sufficient. I hope the mods lock the rest of them.

lovespink88 02-07-2009 11:29 AM
For what it's worth,(which I'm sure isn't much lol) I would gladly delete the one I started if I could...

I started the thread in Chit Chat because that's where I thought it might be most fitting. To be honest, I went to that straight to that forum and looked to see if there was anything there already. I actually usually go there first when I log on. I'm also one of those people who don't use the "New Posts" link. When I noticed there wasn't anything there, I decided to start one. After I posted I did my normal looking around and then saw the same topic in Greek Life, so I went back and edited my post acknowledging that I realized there's already another thread about it.

I wasn't trying to be spam OMGLOLWTFJUICY everywhere. I, too, dislike when threads are repeated. Sorry for adding to clutter!
