It is not a good idea to put empties on a public board like this. It attracts the authorities, landlords, and and quite a few other morons besides. Squatters Estate Agencies are a whole lot better. There is a reason why a lot of squatting info is not put online
( including on the ASS site ) which should be obvious;-)

Oh that's how they find out if a empty building is likely to be squatted.

Yep Indymedia is monitored. As soon as you start putting up PUBLIC lists of empties shit happens to those empties. There are lists of empties but putting them on a heavily monitored internet site is still not a good idea whether it is cops, councils or journos. Or do you do all your planning on lists or by email eh? Try Infoshop. Or set up a squatters estate agency in your local social centre. It is a lot easier to keep an eye on what is ghoing on. P.s. I an not a conspiracy theorist, neither do I live ib a fools paradise.

Certain councils e.g. Camden employ people to check out empties. I have also seen on other anti-squatting sites e.g some reactionary and solicitors and links to squat sites wherwe this could be a problem. Do we do their job for them?

Tonight and hopefully every thursday, the rampART squat cafe will open as a meeting and info point for squatters and people looking to squat. Cheap food by donation, music and perhaps some films.

This should be happening on a regular basis and provide a good way for people to find other people to squat with or share info about empties.

Next week (Thursday 22nd) a one off event is planned which aims to provide a forum for practical workshops and skill sharing for squatters, plus films about squatting, set up a squatters estate agents / notice board, and translate the squatters handbook.

If you have any info or skills to share, please come along.

If you would like to offer a workshop, get in touch with the rampART.

Sounds good

Yes, thats a much better idea. Share empties and advice rather than be some sort of 'Internet estate agent':) I can see a danger in having some stuff online. This way would help get together groups of people and skill sharing.
