Yeah except it's for urban exploring.

Oh. That's a thing. I forgot that was a thing. My only experience with them has been folks like CT_UrbEx back east. I remember sometime around 2009 they showed up and started tagging every place they went. Ended up spoiling a lot of previously great sites with graffiti and eventually as a result a lot of them ended up boarded up and watched. I'm convinced that they're somehow responsible, at least partially, for the amount of security and demolition among a lot of the better asylums that I used to explore growing up, and the growing attention to preventing exploring in the remaining sites--they tag at least two or three surfaces on every building, like they're claiming it or something, except they're also notorious for breaking things and moving things around. They're regarded as more of a fraternity-like group of explorers and honestly I think they bring a really bad name to UrbEx with that sort of behavior. That's just my opinion, though, and I've never encountered them in person myself, just experienced their aftermath. In a lot of previously great sites, I will add.
Since then I've never really had an affinity for 'UE Teams,' it just seems like another way to bring more attention to something already frowned upon by most officials.
Anywho. A team for UE. Just because? Or was there something that required the extra structure and a name? Honestly curious here, not trying to sound like a dick.
