I know that these are in the stark northern "Yankee" barrens but was wondering if anyone has had the chance to explore the Maxim Munitions Ruins or the Arthur Brisbane Child Mental Hospital ruins before they burned down. Both appropriate for spooky time of year exploration, imho.

That area is off limits. Trespassers destroyed several historic buildings. This site should not be encouraging trespassing.

There are over 13,000 threads on this forum. I don't see any of the management encouraging tresspassing. Too big of a job to scrutinize and parse out posts and take action. After all, posters are adults. This is just my personal opinion. Maybe you were adressing the poster?

I was letting the admins know that the person is talking about trespassing and hoping it would be discouraged. It was very upsetting what happened to that place.

I saw the post. I've always urged people to respect private property rights. Don't know anything about this place, but if it's private or access is restricted then people should stay out.

If you feel that a post is inappropriate or illegal, click the "Report" button. I'll make sure that Ben is notified. Have not checked the settings recently, but the forum software has a feature where a post will be automatically removed from public view if enough people report it.

I'll give Ben a heads-up about this thread now, although I don't think any action is required at this point.
