-''ogrish.com'' was a [[shock site]] which presented uncensored news coverage and multimedia material based for the most part on war, accidents and executions.
+'''Ogrish.com''' was a [[shock site]] made in 2000, and hosted similar content to [[Rotten.com]].
-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".
+Ogrish was one of the first gore sharing websites. The site was completely uncensored and presented graphic videos from war and accidents, as well as uncensored news and gore footage. The site raised controversy for not asking for consent from any victims families to upload videos of their death.
-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.
+After the September 11 attack, Ogrish uploaded graphic videos and pictures of attack victims, and hosted the execution video of [[wikipedia:Kim_Sun-il|Kim Sun-il]] in 2004.<ref><nowiki>http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200406/200406230055.html</nowiki></ref>
+==History==
+Several internet service providers is many different countries blocked access to Ogrish.com in 2005.<ref><nowiki>http://www.fitug.de/debate/0508/msg00037.html</nowiki></ref>
-=== '''History''' ===
+In July 2005, the [[Zippocat]] video was publicly posted to ogrish.org, which received backlash from forum users, administrators, and many non-Ogrish users. The video was soon deleted off the site, and the user who uploaded the video was eventually arrested. Shortly thereafter, a [[YTMND]] site was created out of the video featuring music from the 1993 first-person shooter game ''[[wikipedia:Doom (1993 video game)|DOOM]]'', and thus '''NEDM''' meme was created.
-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.
-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.
+On April 21, Ogrish closed this section, finally making the transition from a "gore" website to an "uncensored news" website. In April 2006, Ogrish.com introduced a podcast service (DJ'd by Shawn Wasson) and added a new forum section called Underground Media - members have the choice to join this section to see more images and videos.
-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.
+According to the site's FAQ, the name derives from the archaic word "ogrish", meaning "like an ogre", as defined in older dictionaries in a figurative sense; that is, being like a person who is felt to be particularly cruel, brutish or hideous. This website sometimes goes down and back up with the name ogrish.co and ogrish.tv.
