| | Newfoundland UE Dying?? < on 6/14/2007 6:28 PM >
| | | Well, I'd like to bring all your attention to an article I came across today saying that Newfoundland UE is dying: http://www.themuse.ca/view.php?aid=40262 So I'm posting this here in hopes that some other Newfoundlanders will rise up to the occasion, and get some new posts on here before the author has to write a eulogy for Newfoundland UE.

| | | Let it die for all I care. U.E. has been dead to me for a long time.

That article was quite ridiculous. The author sent me several e-mails almost begging me for an interview. I've been ignoring media requests for years now because the extra attention draws too much attention to the abandoned places that I like to explore.

After I posted this thread, I somehow got myself wrapped up in a this big war caused by some "author" called writerbot in a different thread. It got me thinking why I would want more people to start exploring in Newfoundland. Although it would be nice to have a few more people posting on here from Newfoundland, I'm sure that it could end up having a negative effect and cause more grief than good. With that said, my new position on this is to let UE die out here, it leaves more for me to find, with less people there to screw it up. EDIT starting now...... Also, I contacted the author, to tell her that UEs not dead, she definately gave me the impression that she didn't give a shit about UE at all, mostly she wanted something interesting to write about...she suggested I write a "letter to the editor" well that's not going to happen, I guess the whole write what you know theory didn't cross her mind.

| | | That's a pretty rediculous article. I mean, what evidence would there be that an 'urban explorer' would have been at a site? Just because someone isn't posting pictures and stories on a website doesn't mean people aren't out there checking things out and documenting the 'forgotten'. Although from an outsider's perspective i'd love to see more NFLD sites, but from that same perspective I should probably post more of my own finding. So whatever.. stupid 'journalists'.

| | | I study journalism now, it's what I plan on majoring in. If I had tried to pass that crap off, even as one of my weekly assignments (WHICH IS NOT PUBLISHED) my professors would have torn me a new A-hole and told me to actually try.
What a brazen, sweeping assumption, "Nobody emails me so UE is obviously dead". She never even did any work whatsoever, or seems to have any clue as to what UE was in Newfoundland BEFORE it died, merely that there is a group that has some pictures up. She also goes on for 12 (TWELVE) paragraphs simply about the interior of the building, then interviews the owner of ForbiddenPlaces FROM BELGIUM!? This pisses me off not only as UE'r but as a journalism student. Pure, unadulterated crap. Remind me never to pick up a copy of the Muse.
