Looking for people in Brampton to explore with

Anyone from Brampton down to explore abandoned places?

I would like to delete my account.

Unknown user • 3 months ago

I'm not really interested in exploring abandoned places and rural areas and I just figured out that when you go on my profile it shows my town. I would like to delete my account.

"uploaded album content" error

nightmapzz • 4 months ago

Hi guys, I've been trying to upload this one album for a couple weeks now, but most of the photos i try uploading just show up as "uploaded album content", and when i try to publish it, the image names some up rather than the actual images themselves. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is it an error on the websites end or mine? Thanks

Hey OAP community I feel like I have met the minimum requirements for a promotion for level 2. I haven't been on here for super long but I have a real passion for exploring. I have always found it interesting since I was a little kid but I didn't start exploring until maybe a year or two ago. I also only started taking photos/videos and documenting places recently. I always try my best to take quality photos and videos. And I take my time and if I can't find a POE I always try to comeback and find one so people can see the interior of them. I also try my best to follow all the rules. And I like to put effort in my write-ups by providing as much detailed information as I can. Sometimes it's hard to find stuff about them online. So I talk to the neighbours if there is any. Or owners, anyone I can. I also try to document all of the hazards for the locations so people don't get hurt. I always respect the locations as I hate vandalism. And because I love the buildings/houses and the history they hold and the beautiful architecture that often gets forgotten. I also try to find many of my own locations, as I find that more enjoyable than going to other people’s spots. Thank you for your consideration! as exploring means a lot to me and I try to do it whenever I got free time. I hope the community feels my contributions are significant enough for this promotion. If you have any constructive criticism or feedback, feel free to let me know what I can do better as well! Thank you for your time! Best regards, Urbex Niagara

I’ve been part of this community for about four years now, and in that time I’ve really made the most of what level 1 has to offer. I’ve explored and documented close to 50 locations, even though I’ve only shared a handful on the site so far. If I had posted more consistently, my account would reflect the full extent of my experience, but even so, I feel I’ve proven my dedication to urbex and to this community. I believe I’ve outgrown level 1 and am ready for level 2, which will give me the opportunity to keep pushing my explorations further and continue contributing in a more meaningful way. Thank you

Applying for Level 3, as I believe I at least meet the minimum requirements for promotion: - 22 locations - 70 albums While some of those are exteriors, it wasn't for lack of trying; I've climbed onto rooftops, set off alarms, and even got injured while looking for a POE. It hasn't been totally fruitless: I've added several Level 4's since my last election, including another high-profile location. Bad luck aside, I've followed all the rules consistently: I do my best to study the history of a location (even going through Google Street View images when other documentation is unavailable) and document the hazards, as well as provide assistance to others on the discord without giving away locations. I know my output isn't as prolific as the others on the site, but I hope to compensate for my lack of quantity with quality. Even if I can't find a POE in the moment, I can at least document the location and its hazards for those who come after.

I have been urban exploring for about a decade. I have posted 7 new locations and 13 albums, which exceeds the level 2 requirements

I'm not middle aged lmfao. You clearly don't know what laziness or uselessness is. This goes to the OP as well. You got jokes, but that is all.

zztop • 3 months ago

Middle aged man whining because I am employed and don’t prioritize positing on an online forum. Don’t project your laziness onto me. Talk about useless. 🥀

ishootthings • 3 months ago

So glad you took photos like we have all been waiting for someone could add it as a location. Talk about useless....

zztop • 3 months ago

I went there back in early May. It was pretty underwhelming inside, I wish that the other buildings were accessible. Saw the security guard chasing some kids away, lol.

Requirements are interior only now and my finger also slipped and upvoted. Can we please have a confirmation thing pop up cuz we got butter fingers. Thanks

Anonymous • 2 months ago

It's 20 lvl 2 locations or higher, so he actually qualifies by that metric

Why am i so autistic that up is a downvote 😭

Anonymous • 3 months ago

I’m sorry but I had to vote down, while you seem like you have a real passion for urban exploring, your albums aren’t very “quality” as the requirements state (with no bio on almost anything), and your number of photos per album is not enough (how you have 61 photos across 13 albums is absolutely astounding). Try to gain entry more as well, it says that for an album to be “quality” you need to gain entry at the bare minimum. Also, you need to have 3 months of activity on the site, and your first album was about a week ago. So, to recap, more photos per album, more interior pics, and stay contributing on the site for a few more months, and come make another election. I’d love to see your account grow.

An alright start and the locations and photos seem adequate for level 2, but are underwhelming, I don't feel like I get a great sense of a place from them since there are too few, and they don't make up for it by being particularly visually interesting either. With that said, dropping all your locations at once and just listing your numbers in your write up both feel a bit odd and rushed. Give it some more time.

"Under Consruction". It was when you went now looking at it. There are the wooden shims in the wall where the grout or whatever is missing in this photo, and now a bunch of it is redone. The ruins are "fenced off" with signs and more will be redone. The whole area is being revitalized and many things redone or revamped along with/in tandem with Parliaments "Centre Block". Scenic AF.

Wow, that's so cool! And I came across this location by accident.
