    for clarification!!

    its not that you cant discuss house price crashes, if you couldnt i wouldnt be giving you a 'discussion thread' would I!!

    Its just that on a daily basis thread are started on the same topic, which clutters up the boards. If all the discussion could be kept in one thread it clears up the boards.

    A sub board is not really a requirement for this subject, if it was where do you stop? a sub board for buying, selling, renting, BT, crashing, rising markets etc...

    there is no censorship going on here, just a matter of keep the boards running smoothly.

    Thanks for GIVING us a discussion thread..!
    I hate censorship.
    It willl be the HPI brigade who have requested an end to the threads in question.
    Frightened of the thought of losing all their lovely equity.
    Boo!!!!
  • I would have preferred a 'House Price Discussion' thread rather than a 'HPC' thread (there's whole website for that somewhere) but at least all viewpoints only need to be exressed one more time ;) Could we add a poll asking what users think prices will be in 2010?

    :)

    "Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
    Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.

    Oil prices hit an all time high today, & very close to Inflation adjusted price of the early 80's !!! ...Combine that with far tighter credit terms, a slowing economy in the U.S & the U.k Economy set to slow significantly next year !!!...There is only one conclusion to come to regarding property prices !!!..

    Nice bit of banter. A bit clever for me to participate mostly, what with knowing about houses really and not money but it's interesting and when I have posted they have been most welcoming. :)
