I imposed a 6 month exile on myself with EoS last summer. It was getting to the point where if anyone dare say anything nice about Spain they were berated by a whole host of people that had had a bad experience. And it didn't matter if you were sympathetic or not to peoples misfortune, for them (not all of them of course) Spain was a nightmare and you were somehow mentally deficient if you didn't use every post to slag off Spanish lawyers, the legal system in general, politicians, banks, builders...
I used to come away with the impression that I should feel guilty because my house purchase went reasonably smoothly.
At other times I just felt it got a bit, not intentionally racist, but, I wasn´t comfortable reading it. Silly stuff but it was just the way it was worded "We´ve recently bought a quad property and unfortunately some Spaniards live in one of the residences, you know how noisy they are..." and I found stuff like that sad.
But yes, noticed the forums aren´t quite as busy, haven´t seen Norman Sands, Poppy, Campana etc
Still a good place to get some good, free advice from other expats and I´m sure it'll pick up again.
