Much of the material depicted was graphic and uncensored; gory videos and images. The content was presented as a challenge to the viewer, with its catch line being "can you handle life?"; it later later changed to "uncover reality", after the site received a major design overhaul, aimed at becoming more open to the general public and becoming a respected "alternative news service". | Much of the material depicted was graphic and uncensored; gory videos and images.

The site hosted many graphic videos of violent events, without the permission of the families of the people shown. This has led to heated arguments concerning the rights of the people pictured and the nature of the pictures and videos on the site. For example, in 2002, graphic pictures and videos of the jumpers of the September 11, 2001 attacks were displayed on the site. The site was targeted for hacking attacks from Koreans after Ogrish uploaded the execution video of Kim Sun-il during the summer of 2004. | The site hosted many graphic videos of violent events, without the permission of the families of the people shown.

In August 2005, German official internet watchdog group Jugendschutz.net contacted the local branch of telecommunications company Level 3 about Ogrish, whose IP address was then blocked in Germany. Since several ISPs connect through the blocked Level 3 connection in Frankfurt, many other countries from Europe outside of Germany were also affected by this block, including the Netherlands, France, Poland, Italy and Switzerland. The Youth Protection group had found that the provider violated German legislation that requires websites to verify the age of its visitors before granting access to adult content. | |||
Since the beginning of November 2006, Ogrish.com redirects to ''LiveLeak'', a site registered in October 2006, featuring mostly user submitted videos and allowing the embedding of media on other sites. | |||
In early 2006, Ogrish.com changed its design to a much faster-loading, cleaner layout. Its previous layout was very "dark" and graphic-intensive. On January 27, 2006 the "Flame/Lame/Hate" section was replaced with "The Ogrish Zoo", a more politically correct version that forbade racial slurs. This change lasted barely a day, and after some consideration, it was finally replaced with "The Underground", a private and hidden member group accessible only at the request of an established member to an administrator. | In early 2006, Ogrish.com changed its design to a much faster-loading, cleaner layout.
