So in other words, they could end up going down because of false advertising, not because of what people say on the site - kind of like Al Capone finally going to jail because of tax evasion?

Juicy Campus was started by a Duke graduate. Way to make the alumni proud...

Yeah, I guess. It's obviously not anonymous; any IP address can be tracked, and they identified the guy who made threats based on that type of information. If it was necessary, they could at least pinpoint the computer that was used to post.

JC is ridiculous. A very close friend of mine is currently under attack. It has become a painful experience. Who in their right mind would think this would be fun. I knew before it became personal that it was a nasty site, but now, its a shameful way to hurt people. It makes me so angry that people would get entertainment by hurting people they don't even know. I guess thats a testament to society these days...sad...I know.

^^^I went onto the website for the first time last week and was appalled at how nasty the posters were. It didn't matter who or what they were bashing, it was downright awful.

I'm ashamed to say my alma mater was on there and I was embarrassed to have attended the same school as some of the site visitors

There was an article in last week's People magazine about JuicyCampus.

I just saw that site, it's horrible and should be removed.

Honestly, I only spent a few minutes on the site as I do not like to waste my time and energy on such crude and vulgar things.

However, there was a posting in the UF forum by "A Panhellenic Woman" who supported most of the Panhellenic groups at UF and basically told them to stop calling sorority girls "Sororistitutes". It was actually a good posting...

I'm glad you found a good posting - I checked it out, and was really amazed. How long until someone stalks/threatens someone else through the site, someone is injured or killed, and a lawsuit results? That, or a daytime tv talk show extravaganza.

Already has:

" A student at Colgate University has been arrested and charged this week with aggravated harassment after he made a post on Juicy Campus, a site that serves as a public forum for students to anonymously gossip about others. The police involved in the arrest admit that the post appeared to be a prank, but say that they "have to take that as seriously as possible."

And there you go.

I am appalled that juicycampus exists. Two young ladies in the chapter
i work for have threads with their names on them and the content is insulting, degrading, and plain uncalled for.

If people don't continue talking about them (and starting threads on GC about them), maybe it'll go away.

true, but i needed to vent my outrage!
