    Personally, I reckon they are just trying to clear up threads like this which bring forums down. Therefore, they are simply stopping people who do this sort of stuff.

    Bulls are still posting on HPC. Only difference is, the excessive trolling types have been stopped to allow the forum to continue adult debate.

    I take it you've read none of my posts on HPC, then?

    And I'm not entirely sure how a post like Hamish's could "bring forums down", surely it's all part of the debate. Isn't the whole point that we the sheeple look at all the points of view and decide which has the most "veracity". Censor the most voluble bulls and your bias shoots up.

    I've changed my mind!!!

    There has been over 2000 views of this thread, and that makes me a little proud.:cry:

    That somehow something I started has impacted people's lives in the absolute smallest way possible. I'd like to see how many more replies/views and pages of meaningless merde can be consumed by this thread before it gets closed, or people die.

    The thread is dead! Long live the thread!

    Sorry, Really, I'm not pizzagirl.

    But I do like pizza, I admit.

    Is that enough of a connection to prove a conspiracy? :confused:

    PS Why are you posting pictures of your house? :confused:

    It's really bad that so many threads are full of posts that just simply not worth the time clicking on the thread to read.

    It seems the percentage of worthwhile posts of debate and discussion is falling at a far faster rate than house prices did.

    What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.

    I don't need to prove anything.

    the logging in and out does that all by itself.

    If anyones is bored look at hair bear, pizzagirl, carolt logins.

    the disappointment today was mewbie logging in posting on the thread then logging back out. I hope he is not involved in all the dreadful multi user name stuff.

    It is wrecking the site.

    It's because there's nothing very interesting to discuss currently, other than admire Really's home photos etc.

    The world economy has stopped collapsing in an interesting, scary and dramatic way, it's now just receding gradually. House prices are going nowhere very interesting fast - even a fall of 10% over a year is like watching paint dry on a day-by-day basis.

    Plus, personally, I'm only on here because I'm bored out of my brain by marking at the moment, and even this tosh is better than reading the same essay for the umpteenth time.

    Hope everyone else is having a luvverly day. :)
