Rumour-mill Oxford Gossip was deleted earlier this week, with the URL directing viewers to The Student Rooms's Oxbridge forums.In the last fortnight the forums were unexpectedly wiped of all previous posts, but users were still able to create new entries until this week. Over the years, information from the site has helped to feed student newspapers with stories. Oxgoss created interest further afield with nationals occasionally picking up on leads.The controversial site has been subject to legal threats over the years, but of recent had suffered more so from content neglect. The site was failing to generate the same interest that it had done in previous years, with forums filling with local advertisements rather than news from regulars.The Student Rooms, or TSR, is considered a tamer alternative student forum to Oxgoss, offering prospective Oxbridge students the chance to ask questions about university life in a non-hostile environment.
