Calling All Attention Whores: Meet The New JuicyCampus

We weren't sure whether to be crushed or thrilled when JuicyCampus kicked the bucket. Where else were we going to get our fix of Greek-bashing, finger-pointing, and discussions about a certain set of twins without whom campus is simply not the same?

But we should have known better. As one trashy gossip site falls, another one comes up to fill the void. So perhaps it shouldn't have been a surprise that now, when you type JuicyCampus' URL, you're automatically redirected to CollegeACB.

CollegeACB intends to build the online community that JuicyCampus ferociously sought to destroy.  According to their press release (note: linking to a press release on your front page is so gauche), the site is "devoted to promoting actual discussion, not provoking salacious posts or personal attacks". Ironically, this press release reads like a page-long JuicyCampus post about how much JuicyCampus sucks.

The skinny on CollegeACB is this: it allows users to flag offensive posts. If someone calls you a loose hussy, you're more than welcome to flag it down as being mean-spirited. Essentially, think JuicyCampus, but much less fun--and much less popular. Though as long as CollegeACB has the same share of attention-whores as JuicyCampus did, we're sure it will still be entertaining.
