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 • 1 month 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 • 2 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)?

New user with tier 4 location

KeyHb • 3 months ago

Hey, I have a tier 4 location that I went to a bunch of times. I'm afraid that posting it as a level 1 account will compromise the space. What should I do? PSA: the location is an abandoned office with a chemistry lab, incredibly intact, chemical equipment is still there.

Promotion Elections

All Elections

In progress

Forest_Wanderer • 3 days ago

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 😊

Hello OAP, my name is Mikah and I am applying for level 2 status. I've been on here for a couple years (which was about when I started exploring) but have mostly just been lurking until recently. "Living in trailers but life is a movie" in Oakville was my first explore and I've been to 50-55ish places since, From Hamilton to Oshawa, and north to Simcoe County.

Hey OAP Community, I’m writing to respectfully request a promotion to Level 2. I believe I’ve met the current requirements, with over three months of active participation, four documented locations, and 15 albums uploaded featuring a variety of sites and content levels. I also have many more albums in the pipeline, ready to be shared with the community. I first got into urbex back in October. At the time, I struggled to find quality locations, but being part of this community has helped me grow significantly in both knowledge and experience. I’ve worked hard to contribute meaningful content, and I’m excited to keep exploring and sharing more. Thank you for considering my request, and I appreciate everything this community has done to support my urbex journey. Best regards, JMacUrbex

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 weeks 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 weeks ago

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

zztop • 1 month 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 • 1 month 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 • 3 days 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 weeks 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.

13 years later, I can say that this is far more than a shack. While the former farm on this property IS itself, abandoned, the farm on the corner lot owns the field it is in the middle of. The field is active, and many many many things have been salvaged from the former house (collapsed due to a fire that looks like it was 20+ years ago) and from all the bits that surround the "shack" that in actuality looks to be part of a barn or part of an outbuilding. There is a shell of a car and a former beekeeping area as well. The field access for the tractor is the old original driveway of the farm. It's a bit of an oddity as most of the development here is recent (60s and onward) with not much from early 1900s, let alone a stone foundation house that appeared to be framed and sided with wood. Very odd. I'd like to know the actual history here, and may one day figure it out...

Effective sign

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.

ishootthings • 3 weeks ago

It's honestly made me feel like an Indiana Jones type finding things in the bush, or that can't be seen in satellite view. It's for sure a satisfying feeling.

YoteK • 4 weeks ago

I find stuff in the bush the most interesting cause the remoteness removes other indications of people, so it can feel like a post-apocalypse or reliving childhood dreams of discovering some ancient civilization
