Abstract
This paper analyses the meaning making practices operating within internet forums for urban explorers. The paper is based upon a case study: the way in which one type of abandoned Cold War bunker, the ‘ROC Post’, is made a subject of signification within one such internet forum: www.28dayslater.co.uk. The paper examines how this online interpretive community (Fish 1980) generates and enforces its underlying structures of representation, and in particular considers the way in which web forum software contributes towards this structuring.
