A financial website who try's their hardest to convert others at one time in their history on an hourly basis through mass posts on various other financial websites, now with very few supporters left.
Should they now just pack up and go away with some dignity?

Somebody who has £1, and doesn't want department stores, record shops, couriers, a football club, DIY chains or publishers might buy it.
Alternatively, someone could buy it just to gloat.
Really though, I think we should have a whip round and buy it for Crashy."Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance" - Confucius0 -

I do, triathlons, off on a Lake swim this afternoon. What do you do that is so exciting in life?
I am just doing my little bit exposing a website that would have people STR or put off buying a nesting home all in the belief that a huge property crash is on it's way.
Some posters on here are critical of me on here(Mmm, wonder where they come from) for being obsessed with property prices, yet I don't think and haven't for while expected
substantial rise or falls, and have stated so here. Yet there are endless posts which do not get picked up on forever whittling about the huge 30% price falls heading our way(there is even whole threads on the subject), yet they go un commented on, I wonder why?
I successfully argued a few dozen times over the years on HPC that each inevitable crash prediction would not happen and I was proven right 100%, but by being right and showing up those who are wrong I was banned, like all the others like me.
I read their posts about coming here and Mumsnet, 118, Motley Fool and so many other sites and preaching their nasty mantra, my name is so often mentioned as well.
It is a dangerous website IMO, but after 20 years of failure it's time they were laughed off the web:)0 -

What distance do you do, a couple of years ago I was just about ready to do my first (a sprint), but I got so busy at work that I just couldn't keep my swimming training up. I didn't want to just complete it (that was a given), I wanted to compete (within my age category). Swimming is easily my weakest of the 3 disciplines, and I do not really enjoy swimming like running and cycling, so it might never happen for me.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -

I just do the the Olly's, anything over that is just mad in my opinion, though admirable. I have done Marathons and at a decent level, best time was 2.43 without training too hard, but much younger, and back then I was convinced they were too much for the body, and I still do
My views on swimming have completely changed this year, I was just like you and hated swimming but got through it. I threw myself into training in Feb and started openwater in April, Brrr, and did as much as I could fit in. I have now started loving the openwater swimming and get tuition in a pool once a week.
Considered a Half Ironman this year, and I have one in me now, but Nah, for me the standard Tri is just the perfect distance with 2.40 to 2.50 enough time to be exerting yourself.
For your swimming, try not to do long occasional sessions, does not work like that, little and often is best and learn some good drill on YouTube. Seriously I was Ok ish and hated it, but I just suddenly clicked one day, I never believed I could one day swim miles only a few years ago0 -

You're supposedly a smart successful chap, can't you spend your time doing something less puerile?0 -

Yet you still find time to obsessively trawl a fringe lunatics website and follow them around the internet. It's obsessive and a little bit sad. Of you didnt go on so much about how well off you supposedly were then I'd assume you're carrying a grudge because you believed them and lost out big time.

With the best will in the world I cannot go out training more than the several hours in a day, and that is not too often. What I do with my own free time is my own business when knackered I am feet up with a laptop on my lap like it is right now, I deserve it. If being obsessed is posting a total of 600 posts and spending 30 minutes tops online per day on various websites then I will agree with you
That website is actively bragging about trolling various websites trying to talk the property market down, MSE is very much included in that, I am justified with what I am saying. Me "holding a grudge because of a bad property call I held them over many years", well now that at least is the 1st plausible thing I have read from you0
