I used to visit regularly in summer of 2006 & post occasionaly. At that time the average person on the street didn’t think the housing market would ever slow down, much less collapse, so it was very interesting to review the analysis and debates. Since the housing crisis became front page news (and I don’t reside in SD), my need for an alternative/rational viewpoint has faded, though I’ve lurked here from time to time. Everytime I read a rosy NAR report trying to spin horrid numbers, I think of Piggington’s!
One thing that I miss is the market (financial) discussions. There were many good posts on investment ideas, economics, market direction, etc. The board seemed to have several intelligent posters (and a few zealots), which made for informative and entertaining reading back then. Maybe I should start visiting again…
