Looking for people in Brampton to explore with

mannuuu • 2 days ago

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 • 3 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

Question about non-typical photos of Level 1's

ArcAngel • 4 months ago

I was wondering how one should handle posting photos of things tagged as level 1's if you have photos that would potentially no longer meet that criteria (e.g. photos from inside a publically accessible thing that you are not *generally* permitted into)?

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

Good Afternoon Folks, I am applying for level three. As a current level two member, I find most locations I am coming across are levels 3 & 4. I frequently stop when I have the chance doing deliveries and am always sure to mark the spot to return to with my partner later. My favourite part of exploring is really the history of the locations and the beautiful architectural highlights that often get lost in some of these locations. With access to a higher level, I would be able to contribute a larger volume of properties, as I find ypu always learn something from every location. On vacations I always make a list of places to stop a long the way and have been working at uploading everything ive collected over the many years I've done this. Always fun to meet fellow explorers but I dont find its something that doesnt happen too often! I would love the opportunity to be able to explore more of these beautiful locations. Thank you for your consideration 😊

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 • 2 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 • 2 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.

ishootthings • 3 months ago

Take photos and add it as a location instead of posting about it simply being there for us, will yah?

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

Anonymous • 2 months ago

Why am i so autistic that up is a downvote 😭

Anonymous • 2 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.

I would like to also add that I once saw in someone's living room a coffee table with a glass top made out of super thick thermal glass that was once the view port to watch the flame from the back of the Iroquois engines (it had strange wavy lines through it and slightly blue tinge) as they were being tested. these are the concrete buildings that used to be on the DIL side of the highway across from the CIL plant. I believe the new highway is through this area and wiped everything out. Rob Groves

Having been born and raised in PS I ventured there with some friends when we were around 17 years old. there were some rusty main buildings, alot of railway tracks with old power lines and the DOME. In most pictures you will see a dome shaped bunker that as my Uncle told me (he worked there) it was designed of concrete so the blast from a nitro glycerine explosion would go straight up and not level the area. It was odd to stand in the middle of it because you would get that reverberating echo back at you if you spoke. I i took pictures with one of those old 110mm cameras... If I find them I will post. It was around 1985 then. Rob Groves

They are all torn down and piled into a nice tidy pile of concrete. I was very dissapointed when we finally came accross it. I asked at the museum in Perry Sound when we were there and the girl there confirmed that what we found was the avro testing buildings

regress • 13 years ago

Does anyone know if that concrete bunker type building is still standing? Looks interesting.

How did you guys fit through that gap, I wasn’t able to and had to leave

ishootthings • 1 month ago

"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.

Exactly, there's this sense of it being "lost" in some way that has a different atmosphere from things that are more recently abandoned or in the middle of a city.
