Introduction!

HavenTheRaccoon • 1 month ago

Just thought I'd introduce myself to the community! I'm an analogue horror and urbex enthusiast, I have an older Palmcorder which I like to take to the spookier places around St. Thomas, but once I get my full license hopefully in December I'd like to check out and film some more locations maybe in London or other places around me. I'll be popping by the discord server as well, so if you spot me I'm free to chat about obsolete tech or the like! I do just have one question though I wasn't able to find an answer to in the FAQ, how long until I'm able to add a location or album? One of the requirements for level 2 is by contributing via making an album or such, and I wanted to work my way towards that.

Silo postings?

nurbexo • 2 months ago

I wanted to make this thread to understand what people think about the posting of a sole silo. I personally find them interesting, despite them essentially just being a large cylindrical concrete object, and so have been to a few with intentions to visit more. Some of them are climbable and are therefore more interesting, with the main aspect of the post being focused more of the views and such offered rather than the silo itself sometimes. They are abandoned, though I wanted to check whether this is considered "filler" by the majority of people.

Goodbye OAP

itsme • 3 months ago

I stumbled across such an interesting abandoned place today, it was such a beautiful find. When I got home I decided to look into it and I came to OAP like I have for many years and I get asked for money to be able to find out about this place. Are you kidding me? I have since deleted all of my content from here that I possibly could. It was sad doing it but so nice going through so many great memories of so many beautiful places. Some that were suggested to me from Rick Cooper when he and his wife would see places in my area as they were passing along in their boat and would message me so enthusiastically that I just had to go check these places out. Of course I always would. Which contributed to many locations on this site from the beginning of it all. I remember so many ups and downs through the years and many many great people who I have met along the way. To be asked for money to have full access to this site after all this time and contribution is so insulting. I am saying goodbye and enjoy the last 19 locations I wasn't able to erase. Explore safely and responsibly friends xo -itsme

abp10 • 1 week ago

I won't sit here and try to gaslight anybody that I've reached the full requirements. I am applying 3 weeks early. But before you downvote me, let me explain why I am applying now, rather than 3 weeks later. I'm an urbexer, based in Toronto, that has found a great passion for exploring. But overtime, this passion of exploring, has branched out into exploring abandoned places. And then that passion, has branched out into finding NEW spots to explore. To be completely honest, I don't need any spots. This is not why I am applying for level 3. Let alone exploring anything else that's not an abandoned place, even when I do run out of spots, I know how to find new ones, after countless hours and hours of mapping out the whole city. Was this worth my time? Probably not to be honest. But at least now my problem of "having no spots and having to apply for lvl 2" a few months ago, has turned into the problem of, "where do I go this time?" And this is why I'm applying for level 3. With access to level 3, I will be able to potentially see pins that I am not updated on. Rather if someone has already been there and uploaded it as an exterior, or I get to see what said building looks like on the inside, and or what hazards, I will be able to prioritize which areas I go to. The good thing with level 3, is that if lets just say one of my pins isn't on there, is that it's either a level 4 I'm refinding, or it's a new location to contribute and continue to help expand the database. And as long as I'm able to keep leveling up, I don't have a problem to keep uploading my explores. At first it was more of a task to take photos, but that task has turned into a hobby, hence why my quality of albums has improved (at least I hope you guys also think that way as well). I've had my ups and downs in this community, but going forward as a level 3, I don't want to be seen as some "immature teenager". I want to be seen as a respectable member of this community. This is something I have been working to improve on overtime, and something I want to keep striving towards. Sometimes I might say some dumb things, but I want to move past that. Obviously I find these and explore these spots with good intentions. I am not a vandal. I go in for photos, look through some items if the spot isn't empty, and then leave how it was. There would be no reason to not trust me with level 3 either, as I've already explained earlier, I don't want new spots, I just want updates. And I want updates, to help the database. Besides contributing new locations to the database, another thing I will do is the same thing I did with level 2 recently. Go through all the Toronto locations, and update them. (at least from what I can see online, or if I've passed by it, etc.) The whole point of having a database like this is to record abandoned places, but it's also nice for everyone else to be updated, rather if a spot is now demolished, now has security, all those sorts of things. If you feel like 3 weeks makes the difference, then you'll see another application in 3 weeks. Besides applying early, I meet and have surpassed the other requirements (at least the ones you can surpass). If there's another reason, I will always take criticism. Thanks for your time.

Hello OAP staff and community. I am writing this to ask for a promotion to Level 2 on the site. I have been contibuting to this site for over 3 years, with 3 newly added locations and nearly 20 albums, interior and exterior. Ever since I found this site mid 2021 I've been obsessed with scrolling through abandoned places and finding out their histories and hazards. I decided to make an account so I could share my own unique expirences with other urban explorers, maybe even exchange some stories with them. I was not dissapointed, after I started posting albums I found myself out of new exciting places to explore. So I searched far and wide, using google maps, asking people in the community, checking other sites, etc. I finally found some, and decided to share with the OAP community. I've tried adding several new locations to the site, only to find out that it is a level 2/3 location that was not visible to me before due to my low level. Which is part of the reason I would like this promotion, to discover more new exciting locations to document and to strengthen my connection to this site. I feel this promotion is well-deserved after my years of commitment to this community, and I hope you guys do too. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dear Admin Team and Community Members, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to request reconsideration for my promotion to Level 2 within our community. Since my previous application, I have continued to actively contribute by adding five new locations, all accompanied by photos to enhance our database. In total, I have made meaningful contributions across 16 places, focusing on quality and accuracy. With my 6+ months of active participation in the forum, I believe I have demonstrated my commitment to our community. I am eager to take on more responsibility and contribute even further at a higher level. I appreciate your consideration of my request and look forward to your feedback. Thank you for your time!

UrbexGal • 1 month ago

Before being introduced to OAP by an Ontario friend, I was only exploring for the thrill of the adventure and internal thoughts of "What could have happened here?". But after joining the community and looking at the albums I was able to view, I started changing up my photography aspect of exploring as you'll notice when comparing my early albums to more recent ones. Still have a lot of improving to do though, especially when it comes to more dilapidated locations so I'm open to any constructive criticism! Tried keeping this one short since I'll get into my life story with urbex when the time comes but for now i'm hoping my contributions can speak for me. Thanks for your time:)

I’ve been actively contributing to OAP with 22 albums and 15 locations, focusing on quality over quantity. While I do share exteriors, I only post them if I feel they’re genuinely worth it, easy to explore, or particularly cool. Typically, I remove exterior shots on existing locations unless I believe they add value, and I compensate for them with detailed descriptions. Recently, my photo quality, descriptions, and overall contributions have significantly improved as I’ve been more focused on delivering quality content. My end goal is to make as many contributions to the site as I can and hopefully I'll get to at least level 3. Thanks for reading my paragraph

Its the poor attitude shown by the slightest feed back. As soon as anything said ,their true opinions and feelings came out Initially id voted tried to vote no because they havent been here even a year total but id accidentally clicked yes. The way they raged or beeked off after only reaffirmed. Person seems like a loose cannon. Whats next If somenone makes them mad ? Do they tell ? Seem to like long winded flapping their gums already.. Cant shit on the community and expect it to like you. The pics were good, the effort was there but the attitude is not there 👎 If i had to guess id guess their 15

I've passed by that trailer a bunch of times on the highway, always wondered what it was.

I tried to explore this area on Labour Day. But it looks like there’s some construction work going on. I didn’t get very close.

Nice shots! Been a while since I've seen those stables.

Masterfilmmaker • 1 month ago

The stairs go to a basement, it has dirt floors and it smells like raw sewage and chemicals. I didn't go in very far because of the smell, but there's probably an entrance for sewage tunnels down there. You can see it in this video: https://youtu.be/NaDJse_vGdQ?si=--eFGV8MuG887vaz

ground state • 1 month ago

Nope!... went by today and I must say, they have tripled down on securing that door now. I don't think it's going to be open again for another half a decade, at least. So answer me the age-old question: where did the stairs go? Just a sealed up wall at the bottom?

ground state • 1 month ago

Oh, wow...The door was open!!! I seriously did not think that was ever going to be possible with the Seaway Authority RIGHT there. Dammit! I wish I could have been there for this. I might cruise out there today and check out whether it's still like that, but I highly, highly doubt it--especially with the path right there beside it. Thanks for the neat look inside though... finally!

Complete 100% lethargy! It was so cold that I'm surprised it even had enough energy to lift its head up. I think this might have been the very first weekend for snake emergence from hibernation.
