Chickclick has closed

Today, 2/15/02, Snowball, Inc. will no longer finance Chickclick.com, as it has been losing money and they see no way to turn things around. The boards become read-only today. I know that lots of people on these boards disliked chickclick intensely because of its large number of anti-greek members, but there were some pro-greeks on there too and I for one am sorry to see those boards go. Heck, I found out about GC through CC(ZTAMich had the link in her address

), and this place is now another 'second home' for me, as CC was until this morning. I spent lots of time on there trying to disabuse people of the notion that greeks are all crazy drunken hazing sex fiends, and I managed it with some of them. One of the girls that went to those boards for advice was talked into rushing in the fall, and another has PMed me for more info on going greek. I've given them both the addy for GC and an open invitation to come be a part of these boards.
I'll miss the arguments, though, and the people who slowly began to change their minds about us, and those who won't get the chance to be convinced because CC has shut down...whatever else you may say about CC, you can't claim it was ever boring!
Any thoughts or comments? (Not too negative, please, some of us crossovers lost another 'second home' today in those boards)

aww yeah I'll miss that site! I spent a lot of time there over winter break when I was so freaking bored at home but really haven't had the time now that I'm back at school. Glad you found this site to be so helpful SigKap, it certainly has been a huge benefit for me!

Its been over a year, and I still miss CC. I've tried to make a home at many of the spin off boards, but none of them have the same feel as the original CC.

Anyways, I was wondering if any of you former CCers still go to any of the spin off boards, or know of any good ones?

I frequent DigsMagazine.com almost as much as Greek Chat. I was originally a CC board, but it spun off long, long ago. It's aimed towards the "post-college, pre-parenthood, quasi-adult generation"... lots of decorating, cooking, etc stuff and general chat.
