It has come to my attention that some users may be using this website for certain unethical purposes, such as vandalism, theft, etc. Please remember that the purpose of this website is:
Purpose of this site
The purpose of this site is the explore and learn about places that are off the beaten path in the United States, and documenting these places before they are demolished or totally forgotten. It is not to vandalize or otherwise harm those places. One of my favorite books by Ninjalicious, in his book Access All Areas (A users's guide to the art of urban exploration), highlight's this by using the Seirra Club's motto which is, "take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints." This is a motto that you should take to heart. This means you should not take anything from the place, vandalize, graffiti, or any of these things. Not to mention, if you are caught, doing any of these practices will create a much worse situation rather than if you were just taking photos.
Whether you explore abandoned or haunted places because of the history, the art of photography, the pure exploration, for the hopes to see something out of the ordinary (haunted places), or the shear beauty of an abandoned place decaying, your goal should be to leave everything as it is so that others can appreciate the place just as you did when you explored it. If it is found that you are using this website for these unethical purposes, you will be banned.
HOWEVER: If you own a property that is listed on this website and you are having problems with vandalism, theft, etc. DUE TO THIS SITE please feel free to contact me at webmaster [at] forgottenus [dot] com and let me know and I will promptly remove whatever information you request. Whether it be the entire listing, certain photos, information dealing with it's location, etc. Please note that, most places listed are already known by others, and are already vandalized before any user from this site visits. |

You can now upload videos to places. However, this feature is still in the beta state, which means that there might be a few kinks that we need to work out. If you have any videos from your outings, feel free to upload them =) |

I have somewhat reworked how comments work and I think it's a lot easier now. Instead of comments for pictures showing up on the comments under the place, you will find your comments under the picture to which you commented. So basically go to that place's album, find the picture, and click on comments. What's next? Comments for stories? Maybe :)
If anybody has any questions about this, feel free to PM me (Beanyhead). |

Just wanted to let everyone know that we did a little cleanup with the private messages today. Any private message that the receiver had read was deleted to save space. Also I fixed quite a number of bugs dealing with private messages :)
Thanks for your understanding. |
