I got banned from there when the site was sold, for not sticking to the party line and I'm a bear.ruggedtoast wrote: »You can only post on hpc if your opinions fit in with the sites particular idiom. Namely, complaining pointlessly about house prices being too high and denigrating any one who is trying to buy a home as a sheep and an idiot.
Stick with those topics and you'll be fine.
On no account attempt to talk about doing anything that could actually cause prices to become more affordable as that will put them out of business.

I recently posted a few threads on houspricecrash, and as much as i agree with their core argument i now believe the site is run by cowardly little money makers who don't give a toss one way or another about a houspricecrash.
I posted yesterday one the subject of it's members getting a little bit more pro active, my suggestion was a march in the square miles to highlight the damage the Banks in that area have caused, i have now had all posts removed(all 10 of them)
HOUSEPRICECRASH HAVE RUN A MILE.... COWARDS.
That site is preaching to converted, it makes it's money from advertising so in my opinion it does not want to rock the boat. I am now with great difficulty looking at organising a march to highlight damage caused by the bankers around the city square mile.
Anyone who could help out would be appreciated

Welcome to the reality and paranoia of HPC. Please enjoy your stay.0 -
Well i finally tried to post on HPC again after a few weeks(been out of the country), and i have been banned:).
I have to admit that apart from what i mentioned in the opening post i have posted on a few doubts i have on why a housepricecrash might not happen(hence my post on do something about it), CENSORED.
Just this morning i have had a quick lurk on their site, you can see them suggesting that numerous sites have heavy censorship on THEIR sites, the abuse that is dished out is bordering on libel and at the very least in my opinion very rude.
They go to every broadsheet going that mentions this subject, actually they go ANYWHERE where it is mentioned and hijack that discussion.
I noticed one of their more prolific property bears is now having serious doubts(realisticbear), it will be very interesting to see what happens with the guy, more so that he has posted thousands of times on the crash mantra in the past.
I think the subject should be raised on this board(one of the more honest), like one of the replies said, they infest every site with their cult like views and have to be watched.
Just for a little balance(i am not against bearish sites) Motley Fool.. Property Market Trends is as bad. What that site has done in the last year is a disgrace.
There was a huge thread about one year ago now that had to use another board(mainly bearish posters) that bitterly complained that TMF had basically told them that they must post within a certain criteria, which left many of the posters lost for words. Many of the core arguments of these brilliant posters was that Government(then Gordon Brown) and corrupt dishonest institutions were keeping the property bubble inflated for selfish needs, most of them walked rather than be censored like that.
Motley Fool PMT now have the crazy situation of just a handfull of Bullish posters, sad little creatures like Kingofnowhere who post every few hours of their lives on a site with no comeback. What makes it even worse is that TMF are now even coming onto the board and taking sides with the Bull argument, it's a joke.
Should any of the Bulllish posters be reading this post:), it is quite often mentioned that the Bear posters have gone away because they have bought property, NO, they went away because the were(like HPC) being told what to say.
I think that a new site is needed on the subject of property, something that is not over censored, there are millions that are now watching closely at the property debate, sadly these two sites have failed.

Not sure about that.

Why are you telling us this, when it's obvious from this thread that nobody cares whether or not you post there, what you think of the other site, or whether you get banned from it?
It is not obvious to me.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

Your right there is a MSE quota here for HPC rejects, however in a giant fraud much of the quota is unfairly taken up by sock puppets.

Despite being an uber bear myself,I have given up on the site.
My main gripes are
a) it is a closed club about who can start threads
b) the censorship of something is posted that goes against the party line.
one thing that really does pee me off on HPC, is the amount of benefit bashing threads and the cries of "I work and pay my taxes". If you mention that the vast majority on there are probably not big earners and hence why they have been priced out and are on HPC, its likely the majority there are recieving more back in tax credits and benefits than they pay themselves and as such are not paying into the system for lazy chavs to be taking their money. they dont like it!
they moan and laugh about the wannabe middle class, but they are exactky that themselves.0 -
Who cares what a bunch of tramp like people think?
Lets face it. They are a spent force. Nobody takes them seriously. Burger flippers.We love Sarah O Grady0 -
