If you are a college student worried about your business being posted on the college gossip blog, JuicyCampus, you don’t need to worry anymore. The site was permanently shut down on Thursday by CEO and founder Matt Ivester.
Ivester states that it wasn’t for legal reasons that JuicyCampus was shut down, but rather a decline in ad revenue. The website has been a popular spot for college students since its launch in August of 2007. Users were permitted to post anonymous gossip tidbits about their fellow students with some of the remarks being malicious. Students posted info about other’s sex lives, STD history, drug problems and other nasty tidbits. With the closing, all previously posted comments will be deleted. Many students felt JuicyCampus used slander to permanently tarnish reputations.
Ivester has stated that at this time, there are no plans to try to resurrect the JuicyCampus website. However, he did say if the opportunity arose, he would not be completely against the idea.
