The once-mighty Bubblepedia site seems to have vanished without a trace.

The URL bubblepedia.net.au is dead.

Googling 'Bubblepedia' brings up APF threads about Bubblepedia as the top results.

I can't even find an actual Bubblepedia page on Google cache.

I hope Pauk, Revert2Mean, Bullion Baron and Bobby Fischer are pleased with themselves for destroying Australia's last remaining property bear forum.

Bubblepedia was supposed to be the last forum standing against the 'bulls' and 'trolls' who supposedly destroyed GHPC and Credit Crunch (according to Revert2Mean and Bobby Fisher that is). But then R2M, Bobby, Pauk and Bullion Baron did the 'trolls' work for them by destroying Bubblepedia all by themselves. Massive own goal there.

1. Epic Fail! Steve Keen's Bad Calls and Predictions.
2. Residential property loans regulated by NCCP Act. Banks can't margin call unless borrower defaults.
3. Housing is second highest taxed sector of Australian Economy. Renters subsidised by highly taxed homeowners.
4. Ongoing improvement in housing affordability. Australian household formation faster than population growth since 1960s.

I had a poke around on bubblepedia about a year ago and just couldn't believe the BS that was being posted there. Dissenting views definitely not allowed!

Oh well, they made their bed, and they got to lie in it. Suck shit to them.

Also, Steve Keen's TalkFinance Australian property subforum hasn't had a post for three months.

And the Credit Crunch Australia subforum is equally dead.

But there's still a faint flicker of activity on the Simple & Sustainable Australian Property subforum.

Dan and I discussed BP and we agreed that since the general public are now aware of the falsehood of prices always rise, there was not much point in BP.
The troll attack was irrelevant.

House prices fall every few years and have done so for decades. The general public has always been aware that prices don't always rise.

Perhaps Dan just gave up because he and the Bubblepedia founders predicted an imminent property crash in 2008, but instead house prices rose another 30%.

Sure man, nothing happened in the world of banking after Thatcher and Reagan got elected that changed things fundamentally.

Oh wait...
Property acquisition as a topic was almost a national obsession. You couldn't even call it speculation as the buyers all presumed the price of property could only go up. That’s why we use the word obsession. Ordinary people were buying properties for their young children who had not even left school assuming they would not be able to afford property of their own when they left college- Klaus Regling on Ireland. Sound familiar?

The evidence of nearly 40 cycles in house prices for 17 OECD economies since 1970 shows that real house prices typically give up about 70 per cent of their rise in the subsequent fall, and that these falls occur slowly.

pauk - it was that psycho R2M who completely destroyed BP. You are largely to blame too because you were his little wingman (bitch) during the demise.

BP was a good forum with some very interesting characters...and of course some weirdos (see above).

If I were to rate BP on a bull/bear scale it was about 20/80 until you and R2M fucked it and made it 0/100 over night and started banning us moderates. Compared to this site which has gone from about 60/40 to about 70/30 recently.

Speaking of interesting BP characters, where is Ex BP Golly? It was most enjoyable watching him take the piss out of the bulls.

When your a multi-billion dollar industry it's very easy to fund a half dozen IT dropouts to sit in a room all day and troll forums. The practice is quite common and not unlike the control the large industries exert over mass media and government. Website owners need to wake up to this and put aside their notions of free speach if they want to operate a forum with a specific target audience. Many do thankfully.

I was not a mod when R2M was admin. I agree the troll hunt did BP damage, however, all that is gone.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge. You agree you won't use this forum to post material that is illegal, private, defamatory, pornographic, excessively abusive or profane, threatening, or invasive of another forum member's privacy. Don't post NSFW content. Racist or ethnic slurs and homophobic comments aren't tolerated. Accusing forum members of serious crimes is not permitted. Accusations, attacks, abuse or threats, litigious or otherwise, directed against the forum or forum administrators aren't tolerated and will result in immediate suspension of your account for a number of days depending on the severity of the attack. No spamming or advertising in the main forum. Spamming includes repeating the same message over and over again within a short period of time. Don't post ALL CAPS thread titles. The Advertising and Promotion Subforum may be used to promote your Australian property related business or service. Active members of the forum who contribute regularly to main forum discussions may also include a link to their product or service in their signature block.
