Hello everyone! We have made a quick switch to a new default forum skin. We have chosen this one in favor of the earlier new skin due to a much cleaner and smoother look and feel. For those of you who preferred the earlier theme, don't fret! The old skins are still available, retitled as Dawn - Light and Dawn - Dark. Additionally, we have reintroduced Chaotic Blue into the forums as well. You may remember it from 2012 CU, or you may also recall the Red version that ND had back in the day known as Nostalgia. Both are now implemented, and Nostalgia is leaving Beta and will now be considered a complete theme. If you find any bugs or hiccups feel free to mention them!

One more thing to add, all topic/post counts should now be accurate, no more -376 posts.

True The person below me was part of the original CU (2011-2013)

Everything should now be properly organized! NOW you can enjoy the nostalgia

Quick update to what I said, it turns out a fair number of threads are quite literally misplaced. They are still on the forums but are currently in the wrong places. This will be fixed manually sometime tomorrow.

Hello, everyone! You may or may not have seen the Shoutbox announcement about maintenance. This maintenance was nothing light as it involved manual database editing. But this maintenance was to add something to the forums, something that would have otherwise been deleted along with the rest of Nuclear District's forum data. I am of course talking about Forum topics and threads. You will not see it on the board index, likely due to caching issues but if you go into a forum you will see that every single forum thread from ND is in the proper place on this forum. A handful of accounts had their author ID's manually reassigned to a true user account, however many will show as a guest account however showing the proper username. If any of those members register in the future, changes can be done to the database and properly assign it to a user account if desired. Enjoy the nostalgia folks. -haloman30 List of members who were properly assigned to their old posts:

Today is a dark day in Chaotic United/Nuclear District history. As of today, Nuclear District has closed down. Their website now holds a memorial message: http://nucleardistrict.net and contains links to their Discord server and the Chaotic United website. There is some information that was not shared previously that I now feel should be shared. First off, Nuclear District ran off the same forum software that we use today. It is premium/paid software and more addons means a higher renewal price per 6 months. Why is this relevant? Back in 2014, when Chaotic United was first making a return and gained some traction, you may have seen notes in the footer about someone known as GeneralKnapp. At the time he paid for our forums software in full. He was generous and contributed a very large payment towards the CU revival project. But that was in 2014. After that initial payment, he seemingly disappeared off the face of the planet. The first renewal came and Knapp was nowhere to be seen. At that point, 16dbaxter and Mikey were both on board, and they contributed the renewal price. Around the same time frame, they also purchased Blog and Nexus for us to use. GeneralKnapp was not seen for over a year even after all that. He made a small appearance on ND claiming he would pay 100% of all expenses for CU and ND. Afterward he proceeded to vanish again. To make matters worse, in Fall 2015, IPS did a mass password reset, and since Knapp was missing in action we could not reset the password and as a result could not renew or upgrade our license. Recently he resurfaced via Facebook after infinite contact attempts by both myself and Alycat. At this point we both wanted him to simply change the password and security questions so we could do a License Transfer. Unfortunately, he claims not to have access to the account's email and thus the account is now unusable, and the license while valid cannot be renewed or extended. As of last night, Nuke and I discussed some things and I purchased some things from him. One of those things was the Nuclear District Forums license, which can be renewed and upgraded as desired. But what is the other thing you might be wondering? The other thing was the domain name nucleardistrict.net. Currently we have no plans to revive ND. Such a thing is not out of the question by any means, but right now we are going be focusing more on Chaotic United exclusively. That being said, when you visit the Minecraft server you are likely to still see some NuclearDistrict branding. Right now we are choosing to keep it "in ND's honor", however if it causes issues/people complain it will be removed. Within the website, a custom homepage style has been created to replicate the look and feel of the ND homepage prior to its closure. Additionally, all forum skins that you could use on ND will be available here, completely untouched. The ND Goodbye page contents: Regardless of what the current team will do with Chaotic United and Nuclear District in the years to come, today is a very pivotal and very sad day. For the first time since CU was relaunched, there is only one set of community members. There is only one forums, one website, one set of services. This fact does hold promise and will truly test if we can rebuild a successful community on our own. The sad part is that a part of the community has died. Some members have moved over here, but many have moved on already and may never see that page or visit these forums. ND was created in the closure of CU, and pulled in a massive block of the community as a result. While ND was a fresh start, it was effectively a healthier and, in many ways, a successor and superior version of Chaotic United. Those forums contained a massive user base from the original Chaotic United, even ancient people such as Spencer and Ntx2. But now that part of the community is gone, never to be seen again except the remnants of which that have come here. For those of you who have come here, we have tried to make you feel at home coming over from ND. We understand that some ND members may not like the direction we are going in, or just dislike the fact that we have chosen Chaotic United as the name to bring back. For those that have such feelings or feel that we are doing something that you feel is wrong we encourage you to let us know either by a Suggestions and Feedback topic or via PM to one of the admins here. This day will be added to the calendar and will be dedicated in memory of Nuclear District for the rest of Chaotic United's lifespan, which is currently set to be quite a long time. Please do know that despite all of this, we will continue to honor donations made to ND on this community as well as old Chaotic United ones. Lastly, the ND staff has setup a Discord server called NARA for the purpose of allowing people to remain in touch with the staff and what remains of the NuclearDistrict community. A link to join that Discord server has been added to the Services and Status sidebar block to allow people to find it easily after the ND goodbye page is gone. Soon, the Forum topics and threads from Nuclear District will be sent to us and will be merged into our existing forums base. Any questions, thoughts, or even if you want to leave any messages to the guys at ND feel free to reply or contact one of us via PM, and if directed towards ND staff they will be sent to them if you desire. Stay Nuclear my friends, but always United. The Chaotic United Team Haloman30, Alycat, ci833508

Hello everyone! Another community update! First up, NuclearDistrict has closed its TeamSpeak server. This is no surprise however, as ND announced their closure a short while ago. If you have no idea what I am talking about, see these topics: Topic 1 Topic 2. Fortunately, we had also been expecting it. A new TeamSpeak server is now online, and you can connect to it by using any CU-owned TeamSpeak IP's, the main one being ts.chaoticunited.net. It is effectively a 1:1 recreation of the ND TS server. Secondly, we are testing out a new feature that will be used across all CU websites, CometChat! This was used in the very early days of Chaotic United, and now it may be brought back. You can test it by checking this page: http://chaoticunited.net/forums/page/cctest/ The way the page works is that it shows the CometChat bar (look on the bottom of the page) and uses an IFrame to show the forums. For those unaware, an IFrame is a sort of window into another page, and it can be used to browse the page as well. It can also be used to create infinite loops, but it can crash your browser. So don't try it. When using the page you will notice some strange things such as the page having a noticeable white border around it, and there being multiple scroll bars. This is simply because of the way an IFrame works, and it cannot be overcome. In a final implementation the CometChat bar would just be placed on a normal page without the other hiccups you see. Leave your thoughts on it as a reply to this topic, if reactions are positive then it will be integrated to the rest of the site/forums. Otherwise, it just won't be. Lastly, let's talk about the Minecrat server. We do still have some progress yet to be done, but it mostly comes down to building new spawns. But the relaunch is coming much closer and things are finally starting to fit together. Until then, feast your eyes on some screenshots!

A quick forums update! First of all, we have a new forums theme! After using Chaotic v3 as the default skin for around 3 years, we have finally gotten a new theme! You can pick it by clicking 'Themes' and then choosing Chaotic United 2016. In addition to the classic CU style light theme, we also have a dark theme as well. We do plan to have a successor to Chaotic v3 in the future (Chaotic v4), but that is for the future. In addition to the new 2016 theme, we have reintroduced a beta version of the Nostalgia theme! You might remember this theme in its Green color scheme from a while back, and a Blue variant to follow up. Then later on, Nuclear District introduced it with a Red color scheme. All of the variants were available on these forums for some time, before the IPB4 upgrade recently. The theme available currently is the ND variant, updated and rebuilt by hand. After this one is completed and finalized, the rest of the colors will be setup and made available. We also will be making another announcement soon relating to the store, so keep your eyes and ears open!

Follow up! All applications and plugins have been added. The forums are officially online! The only bug left is the Staff Online sidebar block not working, but we expect to get that working here shortly. Welcome back to CU everybody!
