Should we have an Urban Exploring section/subforum?
36 replies, posted
There has been a recent influx of Urbex threads, and many have been asking for a dedicated subforum or section for it.
So what is the opinion of the rest of Facepunch, should we have our own section for Urbex?
EDIT:
[QUOTE=Performual;21342978]How about a more generalized section like an Outdoor Activities Section? That way you can stick stuff like hiking, camping, geocaching, urban exploring, whitewater rafting, DIY polar expedition, etc stuff in there.
If a big enough community develops for a more specific subject like urbex, you could possibly lobby to have a Urbex Subforum from that point.[/QUOTE]
I think this is the best idea, and I think we already have a big enough community to justify a subforum for urbex in this section.
No, i'd never visit it and then i'd never get to see all the cool threads
Sure, I guess.
No. The last thing the urbex community needs is an influx of 13 and 14 year old kids doing it to look cool
go for it, it's quite popular and thereby desevers it's own subforum.

I think that's a great idea actually, perhaps call it Outdoor activities and sports and stick it in the main FP section because I don't think being right at the bottom will be justified.
If you make an Urbex subforum, it won't be long till it itself would be suitable for urban exploration.

Exactly this.
It's not big enough and will be desolate like all of the old custom forums were.

Facepunch don't come across to me as the "Outdoor" sort of crowd. Although I've been camping twice in the past week with friends, once in a wood hiding from a farmer (It was cold) and once In somebody's garden with a tent (wasn't so cold) it was a laugh but I can't see much of Facepunch really going outside for more than to walk to the shop to buy more snacks.
It seems like it could go in the Creationism Corner, they're usually photo threads anyway. It would also promote people taking decent shots rather than blurry as all fuck photos.
No, it's a passing fad like those "I'm a bush fluffer ask me about my job" threads

This. Also, It'd make for a few interesting reads every so often.
Like I visit Facepunch for the exquisite literature.
Whats Geocaching?
What do you do?
Sorry if i'm dumb, but i've never heard of it.

Looks pretty cool if i do say so myself.
After reading the points in this thread, I'm going to have to go for either the Outdoor Activities section, or just the every-now-and-then threads in the GD section.
Facepunchers going outside? lmao
No, how many threads do we have about urban exploring? Honestly. They don't need their own subforum.

Bannable offense. Won't happen but it'd be a nice touch.
Yeah, good idea.

They'll injure themselves in some way, then you can read their threads about how they've got a broken arm and are grounded and it's so unfair etc etc
I was going to explore my old school, it closed last year, and there's some pictures on my flickr if you want.

Sadly I don't know of anyone near here, let alone intrested in UE
nein
No, there aren't even that many urban exploration threads. Just the odd surge of them from time to time. We don't need a subsection every time a particular subject becomes more popular than usual.
Make it a sub forum in General Discussion.
It's just a fad, a very interesting one, but a fad.
Bring back custom forums!
