Thanks for all of the comments everyone. To address some of the issues:
You don't have to log in to view posts, only to make them. This is one thing that I think guides the discussion in a more meaningful direction than boredat/juicycampus. We have community moderation, so that if your post is reported a couple times by other users then it is removed and your posting privileges are temporarily suspended. This helps cut down on the excessively slanderous posts that you see on juicycampus.
As for it being a fad... At my school we had a live journal board and it has remained popular for at least 3 years now. I'm pretty convinced that if done right, we will be able to keep the attention of the student body. Not to mention that each year there's a whole new class of freshman who the idea may be completely new to.
PS: My co-founder was on NPR talking about some of these issues. You can check it out here...
