Hey there, thanks for taking the time to respond! I understand the ethics behind this community, however I’m sure at some point when you started you either; a) didn’t know a single spot and simply wanted to connect with other to gain a bit of experience, or b) you knew someone & somewhere to start yourself off. I would love to be able to keeps reliable database but am unable to do so without any resources hence my presence here.
| Like many explorers, I too started off with nobody to explore with and no locations to explore. I had to find local abandonments the hard way, with lots of research, trial, and error. Once I found them I ended up exploring solo for a very long time. I suspect many others on this site started off the same way as me. Try looking into the "how to find locations" threads, there's plenty of them around. Once you've applied what you learn to find and explore some locations, things get easier around here. This is going to sound paradoxical, but the more you explore the easier it gets to find information on UER. It's not that anybody wants to discourage new members- quite the opposite. But a lot of the information we have is sensitive stuff that could lead to some nasty real world consequences if it fell into the wrong hands. Given that, many users are wary about providing information to new members until they see them around the forums and are convinced of their trustworthiness.

| I completely understand, I’ve gotten into some pretty shady communities in the past and that was my first lesson with anybody, I do appreciate you communicating the feelings of both parties ( being well known members vs noobs such as I) and I appreciate this as a form of encouragement, I’ve got a couple places but to be completely honest I have no idea how to go about getting in and remaining undetected.. I will check out the section that you recommended, thanks for that! I look forward to seeing if I succeed in becoming more comfortable with exploring

| I wouldn't call us shady, per say. We just happen to balance on a very fine line in the grey area of the law. Our tendency to keep our cards close to our chests is partially because publicly announcing our tendency to walk that fine line is a recipe for trouble. The other reason (and perhaps the biggest) is because when a new member joins, we know nothing about them. If information about a location (name, address, point of entry, sometimes the very fact that it exists at all) falls into the wrong hands, bad things happen. Best case scenario, the owner remembers that they own the place and seal it up tight, denying access to everyone else. But rarely does the best case scenario happen- more likely, the taggers find a place to tag, the scrappers find a place to scrap, and some idiots with more lighter fluid then common sense end up torching it for kicks. Everyone here has seen at least one priceless historical building full of cool stuff turn into a barren charred shell because somebody wasn't discreet about who they told, so naturally we're cautious about giving that information out to people we don't know. As for learning more about exploring, I highly recommend This list of common topic threads. It may not hold every piece of knowledge you need to learn how to explore, but it's a really great place to start.
