Spectrum is the latest incarnation of the Spec's consistently abortive attempts at running a 24-hour on-campus blog. Given the Spectator's blogs' troubled past, students normally mention the Spectrum when discussing how long it will take for it to fail.
Bwog Smear Campaign
Most people know about Spectrum because Speccies and their friends freely (and annoyingly) advertise Spectrum on The Bwog.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Sometimes (not known how often), they lie. For instance, on a 2010 Room Selection entry, user "Ben Cotton" wrote:
Important New Housing Info:
