Haven't times changed! - things dried up

Just thinking back to when Property/Practical routinely had 100 posts a day. Not criticising in any way of course, just reflecting on how times have changed...
What was it that killed the 'popular market', or discussion of it here? Stamp duty, local regulation... a combination?

There's quite a few dedicated websites like PropertyTribes and now Facebook groups to cover even the most niche investment strategies. I do miss the Fools' though

He has been mentioned from time to time and, yes, he has been seen ("Last active" in September, last post in June 2017):

Shameless plug if anyone needs to contact him direct (rather than by PM):
