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.

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!

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.
