Hpc lol!

So I heard the HPC mob were on a bit of downer and decided to check out some recent stats:

Just have a look at unique visitors this year... looks like about 4 visits in total. What a lonely place.

They think it's all over, it is now!

    Unique visitors is the wrong way to measure website activity.

    I did a quick search and it looks like activity (page views), according to alexa, is actually steadily increasing over the last 6 months.

    It's ranked the UK's 888'th top site. To give some perspective to that, Ocado is ranked 485.

    Next....

    If that was a house price graph, you would say we had reached the bottm, turned a corner and prices were now rising again.

    Yeah, ok, whatever Graham.

    Clearly no-one actually visits the site any more apart from one guy pretending to be everyone. Doesn't really matter how many times he clicks different links.

    In case you missed it because it's so small.

    LOL. I love the brevity of that comment and the choice of that icon. Made me chuckle. :)

    I'd like to thank the OP for this thread; it's absolutely bang on topic, debating house prices. It's full of relevant information and food for discussion, and in no way at all appears to be a small, petty man making fun of something nobody cares about, hoping people will join in and validate his own petty animosities.

    I don't know if I qualify as one of the 'HPC Mob', but can confirm that I've visited and posted on the forum there at least half a dozen times this year..... assuming we are talking about housepricecrash.co.uk?

    I do visit there to cheer myself up, they are running around like headless chickens - they know the games up, there is no price crash - indeed, we are at the front of a steady climb after the miniboom now being caused by the stamp duty holiday ending.
