I think the boards action was clumsy, and think they should have come right out with their request in the first email, but I don't think they care about eliminating free speech. There's nothing in it for them.<BR/><BR/>It comes down to me losing interest in posting story after story of the declining real estate market and no longer being able to find the humor in the situation, which was my primary motivation for starting the site. <BR/><BR/>I think "It's different this time!" is a very funny statement. Once everyone notices the emperor is strolling down the road naked its just awkward, not funny anymore.<BR/><BR/>That said I know there is some useful information shared on vancouvercondo.info, and many people have expressed interest in helping to keep the site going. So I'm going to shift it over to a community run blog. If I notice something funny in the market maybe I'll try my hand at writing occasionally, but other than that I'm going to leave it up to the regulars. If you're interested in keep the site going you're going to have to contribute. You've just got to keep stories factual and respectful and be okay with readers ripping your submission apart, whether bearish or bullish. I've put a post up with more details <A HREF="http://vancouvercondo.info" REL="nofollow">on the site</A>.<BR/><BR/>Thanks everyone! <BR/>[posted on multiple blogs because I'm tired of chasing all these threads]Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17901952010878775035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31427364.post-14947159713884154172008-12-09T20:02:00.000-08:002008-12-09T20:02:00.000-08:00As Vancouvercondo has said, the requests from REBG...As Vancouvercondo has said, the requests from REBGV were fairly tame and certainly not a cease and desist. He can publish all he wants that isn't libelous, maliciously defamatory or infringing anyone's copyright etc etc.<BR/><BR/>I respectfully disagree with the sudden shutdown approach now becoming trendy amongst popular bloggers.<BR/><BR/>A simple statement of boredom / lack of time / zeitgeist change etc and a one-day (or more) timeline would be respectful to the visitors and posters that helped to make the blog successful in the first place. It takes two to tango.<BR/><BR/>Please don't tell me to go start my own blog - that would be missing the point. That said, thank you Pope and VHB for your initiative an hard work.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Mohican for picking up the batton and running. Given the immense period of uncertainty facing the world, i think your blog will be well supported and valued by your visitors.Ulstermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743033803445684035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31427364.post-15384513399982696322008-12-09T17:05:00.000-08:002008-12-09T17:05:00.000-08:00Hey Mohican, congratulations on the 400th post and...Hey Mohican, congratulations on the 400th post and thanks for the kind words! I'm glad to see you just moved the site, I was worried you had shut it down. <BR/><BR/>Thats ok for me to do, but not you :)<BR/><BR/>The note from the board was rude, but pretty mild as far as bullying goes.

As much as I enjoy a good "I told you so" as much as the next guy I'm happy just to be proven correct in the long run. All of Dosh's predictions had already failed and only one of Dave's has yet to fall anyhow.<BR/><BR/>The only real topic for discussion is how far thing will fall and when is a good time to go bargain hunting. My call for detached is when GVRD Benchmark slips below 400k. There should still be at least a month or two of downwards movement after that so it will be a great time to get your deal (if you wait to buy until prices are rising buyers won't be in such a hurry to close).Mark Fengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01922616270777907779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31427364.post-50707480077011301522008-12-09T13:27:00.000-08:002008-12-09T13:27:00.000-08:00Thanks for being willing to fill the gap Mohican! ...Thanks for being willing to fill the gap Mohican!

I complied with the request and took down the offending content, so there were no repercussions. But the situation really put a damper on running the site. Since then I've only made minor updates. This year I let the domain name lapse. The content's still online (on a shared hosting account with another domain I run), but most of the links are probably dead.<BR/><BR/>Mohican: if you get any BS like what The Pope got, make sure to drop me a line. I'm not a lawyer, but I know the language and can help draft responses. Remember, no need to make a hasty move and shut things down right away-- they're not expecting an immediate response-- there's some salaried employee on the other end of the email trail, they work a full time job, and the blogs probably aren't that person's #1 concern.M-https://www.blogger.com/profile/11157896639592232047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31427364.post-56687130206865348102008-12-09T10:42:00.000-08:002008-12-09T10:42:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103625744750161588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31427364.post-85846676122281628022008-12-09T10:25:00.000-08:002008-12-09T10:25:00.000-08:00Alright, I'm here now too...
