Anyway to see places that have already been added that are "locked" cause of levels?

Iron Hawk  •  2 years ago

Hello! I was wondering if there is any real way to check if a place you know the location of has already been added despite it being too high of a level? The new location tool does seem to pick up on a existing location if you select close to it, but it seems to have a very small radius and if you are anywhere outside this tiny radius it counts it as a new place (as I tested it with a level1 place I knew the location of and the side garage counted as a new place but the main building was where the pin/cords were). I only ask this cause I don't want to flood the site with a bunch of clones, but at the same time I don't want to spend 20 minutes testing the whole lot to see if it exists. I only discovered this cause the first place I went to add was a small chruch and basically was the side of the pin radius but was a level3 so its why I can't see it in the list already. But in other cases like mansions and hotels its harder to get this luck cause of there size.  Thank you in advanced and have a great day!

Any Vaughan Explorers out there?

I'm a pretty new explorer in the Vaughan area I was wondering if there's any other active explorers in the local region.

Is the map feature gone that shows the locations for the city / town / area you choose?

Could just be on my end, but when you go to a certain city for example and look at the list of locations, the map doesn’t show? Now there’s just a list of the locations and no map to scroll around and visually look at.. Again this could be a glitch or only on my end.

Updates???

I haven't been on this site for a few weeks because of school and came to upload some photos and see the entire site is basically a paid service at this point?? I understand this is very costly but charging a fee to apply to upgrade levels and having two subscription that wouldn’t even cover the application is crazy to me…

Subscription model??

I understand a site has to keep the lights on, but a monthly subscription based model is totally antithetical to urban exploration and a huge change for this website… Thankfully I don't see an option to buy your way up the member levels, but I worry that this will be introduced someday?

Also if anyone knows of any mansions with active or recently active POEs that are worth checking out near the GTA.. highly highly appreciated. Making a trip out to a few locations this weekend and would really like another idea or two. Thanks all

Hey, new on this forum, I’ve been scouring everywhere for an accessible hospital/asylum or prison within Southern Ontario, somewhere nearby KWC to Toronto if possible.. Trying to get some good shots at some unique spots. Most places of this variety I know of are completely impossible to get to or just plainly demolished. If anyone knows of any please send me the location number or reach out privately if you could please give me the location. Thanks all

matt2051  •  2 years ago

hey i just joined, ive wanted to do this type of stuff for a while and just found the website. im just curious if there is any advice from more experienced people to give to a starter (and maybe a friend or two) when he (or they) start exploring. do numbers make it more difficult? what should i bring? are there any easy yet interesting places in Hamilton to start at? anything would be appreciated. and good luck adventuring to everyone.

Anyone got any tips for exploring in the winter?

This is a relatively new hobby for me so I only started last April, considering not even going when the snow starts

Craziest Thing You've Ever Seen In A Bando

Rellit.Noskaj  •  2 years ago

I know there are some crazy things that people have seen in an abandoned house. For example, I saw a coyote pup that had been stuck in the basement for so long that it ended up fossilizing to the ground.

What do you believe is the best style of building?

## Abandonded or not, arcitecture is something that I know a lot of us look at and notice, what is your favourite style? Feel free to share specific buildings or pictures, and explain your thoughts.
