Hi Trump!)I think a lot of people saw a few videos and stumbled here to learn more, browsed the DB to see if that shopping center down the road is on there and only sparingly returned once they found out it wasn't. I'm sure that a handful departments and security agencies have a few guys that keep track of an abandonment or two but that's about it, usually it's those old big power plants and factories (Like Bailey Power Plant in Winston-Salem was, it's undergoing renovations and looks really nice) that people could get seriously hurt or killed in. As for the scrappers any building with shuttered windows is fair game, including those on here. Taggers/vandals just paint on anything abandoned or not. Abandoned buildings are a magnet though. Arsonists... just do arson-y stuff. Probably totally wrong, but it is possible that there is an inaccuracy there. |

| | | | | Posted by Artsygurlx Its pretty frustrating tho. Im an urban photographer, and I love urbexing. I was hoping this was a place to share info, but whenever I come on here for help with locations I get shut down so I go elsewhere. Then when I come back I get dinged for not being on here. |

See the banlist for more information.| Posted by 4Valhal I know first hand from an employed friend that the Kansas Bureau of Investigation frequents forums like these (not this one exclusively) and has a full time staffer that scours for information. It aids them in arson, drug manufacturing, wrongful death, and many other investigations. So you can not think that is true all you want. Me personally I'm going to listen to the guys that have been doing this a lot longer than I and be careful about what gets posted online. |

| | | | | | | Posted by stephscheersandjeers What's the best way to approach finding people to explore with? I posted something and got a pretty negative response. |
| | | Posted by Aran The backlash was because you started off simply asking for handouts, which doesn't really fly here. If you want to find locations, odds are you gotta find them yourself- finding them often takes hours of digging through Google results, searching city records, trawling Google Maps, and just wandering around, and most people aren't going to give the end result of that effort to the first stranger who asks. Now, if you want to meet other people, the best way to do that is to find a few locations near you to start. Then establish yourself on the forums by becoming an active and known poster, who regularly contributes to discussions. Once you're a little less of a stranger to everyone, find a UER member geographically close to you and PM them. Don't ask for locations, ask if they'd be interested in meeting up, and if they say yes explore one of your previously discovered locations with them. If it goes well, you can take it from there and invite them on subsequent explorations, and they might do the same. |
