I personally think this is a great idea. Reading through the posts, its obvious that this offers something that juicycampus does not, mainly, actual conversations. You might consider expanding tools, I notice you can private message people, which is cool, but it would be nice if there were a couple "special" reasons to come to your site other than what I just mentioned.

We have been considering a "crush list" feature where students can add the email address of their crush to a private list. If two people add each other then their identities are revealed. The one thing we are worried about is the possibility for abuse (like someone adding everyone they know to see if there are any matches).

Not a terrible idea, I was trying to think of something that fits nicely into the gossip/anonymous board idea. Like maybe a post-secret type section. Errr... well, I'll think about it some more.
