1) Nothing new has been said on it for a long time, so there is nothing to be gained by leaving it open
2) There have been frequent breaches of the Posting Guidelines and many users were reporting these posts to the moderators
3) The thread required a huge amount of moderators' time and we have better things to do
4) Many people were posting exclusively in that thread and making no other contribution to Askaboutmoney

But don't despair. You can find extensive, informed, articulate, balanced and entertaining commentary on the impending collapse of the Irish property market here.

We would refer all genuine questions and concerns to such a post. If you do such a post, please email it to brendan@askaboutmoney.com first. Don't start a new thread yet.

We have reset the post count for users so that any posts made in this thread are not included in their total post count. Consequently a small number of users have had their status changed from Frequent Poster to Registered User.

It is fair that a variety of view is seen. No need to get personal about it.
