8/5/2019 Forums Update


Website

+ Added proper Discord integration - this may or may not end up phasing out our old solution for Discord integration, time will tell. The current plan is to leave forums-feeds alone and simply use this for any features that extend beyond what the old application could do.

* Altered old notice from Team Jobs as it was originally written for Elaztek and didn't quite make sense here

8/23/2019 Site Update


Website

* Altered redirecting method for chaoticunited.com - a series of manual URL redirects have been setup to redirect all known forums, subforums, and categories to their modern counterparts, and for all other URLs a proper wildcard redirect has been added (URLs will try to redirect to the same on chaoticunited.net as it was on chaoticunited.com, rather than having all URLs go to the chaoticunited.net homepage). Additional redirects for other parts of the old CU website may be set up over time (feel free to let us know of any)
