    You say "HPC Reject" as if it's a bad thing, that's just another phrase for "Not an idiot".

    They banned anyone that doesn't agree with them, I think that speaks a lot more about the people left on it than the ones that were banned.

    Then again I'm not a dunce, so I would think that.

    It's wholly accurate though. If they miss HPC so much then they should contact the moderators of HPC and beg to be taken back, offer them money, do whatever they !!!!!!! have to do. But stop going on about it all the time on a totally different web site. And if they understandably don't want you back then get !!!!!!! over it!

    They were perfectly correct in banning me. I was (and still am) a total pain. :T

    It's much more fun to sit over here and laugh at them getting ever more desperate.:D

    And watch hpc-ers like you come over and troll here... Thwapping yourselves into a frenzy with a 0.3% fall in asking prices.:rotfl:

    I've never even registered on that site but I still read it. It's morbid curiosity if anything, plus reading some of the crap they come out with makes me feel very superior. ;)

    Indeed, you should look back to the 2004 era to see the "I saved my brother/sister/son/best friend from making the worst decision of his/her life today - he/she was going to buy a house". Followed by applause from all sides.

    What are funnier still "That's it, exchanged today, easy street for me now (but pity the poor sucker whose bought this soon to be depreciating asset)". Followed by applause from all sides.

    Or, "A lot of the people at work think I'm a pretty switched on guy but when I start on about property prices being about to crash they all look at me as though I am the thickest guy in the office". Followed by applause from all sides (when in fact he WAS the thickest guy in the office.

    Love it.:rotfl:

    Yes, there's quite a few of them on here. Although it might be more accurate to term them EX- HPC members as they got booted out of HPC for being trolls and/or generally very annoying.

    But evidently not sufficiently annoying or trollish to prevent you joining us over here. :rotfl:

    Seems I've been banned from posting or sending PMs without warning due to not staying in line with the HPC consensus. Or at least that's the only explaination I can think of.

    Could someone kindly post in the About housepricecrash.co.uk forum with the subject name as my user name, and ask a moderater to check my account? Pretty please! :beer:


    While you are at it. Can somebody check my account as well please? I'm suffering the same fate.:rotfl:

    They banned me for nothing. I never agreed house prices would drop and stuck to my guns. I'm not an office worker or really clever with graphs etc. I just post what I see around me and at my work.

    They used to put 'Nobody can get a mortgage'.

    A young chap at work got one. 5 x salary.

    Houses have dropped 50% .....it's here.

    ?????????

    My best victim was Harry Monk. He bet me he would have a 50% off peak house by Jan 1st 2010. I think his last post was Dec 2009. Totally humiliated.

    That Eric Prebble makes me laugh on there. I miss commenting on his LIAR LOANS threads.

    I just now he's the caller in the prize bingo down in Hastings. :rotfl:

    HPC is boring now anyway. Whats the point of it? Everyone all agreeing with each other and yet none actually in these bargain houses. :)
