How Did You First Come Across This Particular Forum?

It's well known that this great forum 'Debate House Prices & the Economy' is the most vitriolic and toxic of all fora on the excellent MoneySavingExpert, causing both Martin himself and all the moderators endless sleepness nights, and that was before they decided to hide the forum. But, as this is now a hidden forum, how did you discover it?

    What about the option for we were here before this was a board and before it was hidden? I think Incisor has been MIA ever since.

    Well actually it didnt used to be, until almost overnight there was an exodus of banned muppets from hpc.co.uk who turned up en masse with their stupid petty grievances, that they continued to pursue as if they were still posting on that forum.

    They still continue to this day, trolling and bellyaching. Moaning about forum members on hpc.co.uk who dont even have a username on here.

    Sad really. You'd think they could somehow just move on with their lives but they dont seem able to.

    If I recall correctly, it was 2006 and I was on the [EMAIL="Vengefulviolentbast@rd"]Vengefulviolentbast@rd[/EMAIL] website. Someone tipped me off that there was somewhere more extreme......so here I am. :)

    Yeah those liberal posters on the Vengefulviolentbast@rd website are just too placid. If someone took their mother hostage it probably wouldn't even ocurr to them to shoot through their mother to kill the perp.

    PATHETIC!!

    I do not have a clue how the property market is going to pan out, I really don't. But I read your endless drivel and rather than convince me that property will not fall in value you are probably doing the opposite. Your fear that a property crash might take place stands out like a sore thumb, thats why you are probably here with the other "bull propertys rampers".

    I honesty do not think there is any difference in your thoughts on the future of property prices and the obsessive bear posters, both suspect that a house price crash is on the cards if new debt is not forthcoming, the only difference in thought paterns is that one wants it and the other does not.

    My favourite fake property bull is a chap on Property Market and Trends Motley Fool, for over six years now he has ranted and posted from morning to night every single day just about. the more he trys to convince of the unlikelyhood of a crash the more I smell his own fear, just like you reweird.
