Sceny liked a post in a topic by Takka in What the FUCK happened to OC? - CLOSED Carnage?!
What a shitshow... there's no way to tell this story without giving a lot of credit to whoever began DDoSing the forum back in April of '22, but that was only the beginning of the drama that got us to this point. I unfortunately wasn't able to speak candidly about most of the events since the beginning of the attacks, but that's no longer an issue, so this thread will serve as the explainer.
For those that don't want to read the drama dump that follows, the short of our current status is that the site is back and there are no plans to abandon it. However given the decline of forums in general, and due to the loss of trust that inevitably followed the long period of outage, loss of community data, and lack of transparency provided by myself, Open Carnage is not returning as a "live" site. OC is in a read-only state for the most part. For the next few months or so, existing members can edit their content if they wish to provide any updates that were lost. Anything on OC after April 18th of 2022 is otherwise gone.
Discord Server
Our Discord server has never been known for its modding discussions. It's served as a general chatroom for the long-time members of the OC community, and made it easy for anyone to keep up to date on new community content. That latter utility is effectively gone with the closing of the forum, and just about any subject for a Discord server can still keep friends together. So what's next? I don't know, but we'll probably try doing something new with it. I'll talk with you guys there!

Here's some of the cherry-picked content I've released for Halo that I'm most satisfied with:

We are currently aware of the issue, sadly atm need to wait and see how long this remains an issue. If they fix it in a week/two, we may consider just extending the a bit. If it's an issue through the whole duration of the competition though we will have to come up with a more solid solution.
Essentially we will accommodate for this as best we can. We hope for the best; however, we are preparing for the worst. I do apologize for the inconvenience though

Girl on the left looks like she's wearing a hospital gown and I can't unsee it.

No idea who that is but I like that you're mistaking me for someone who owns a crown. :v

Your profiles now have a field on them for any threads/posts you want to share on OC, such as a project you're most proud of or are currently working on.
Anyone that sets a url in this field will have a badge linking to it beside each of their posts, like you can see beside mine right now.

Avatars have been made even clearer now with the help of @Kavawuvi!
The thumbnails generated for post avatars were 240x240, however they're being displayed at 150x150. Resizing of images is most cleanly done when divided by an integer, so this has now been changed to 300x300.
I've reprocessed the avatars of those of you that re-uploaded last time, so ya'll are good to go!

There was no collusion!
And if there was, it would say 'tarikja is the greatest' because that's actually the truth! :v
