Videos such as murders by the Dnepropetrovsk maniacs and the murder of Jun Lin by Luka Magnotta are freely available to view on the site.

The staff behind the goregrish Internet forum have been interviewed over the debate surrounding the morals of allowing such material to be shown online.[2]

In 2017, the website was named one of "The 7 goriest and must F#(ked up sites on the web" by Inked.[3]

Goregrish.com is banned from Google.de search results in Germany by order of the Bundestag.[4]

The website is believed to be an offshoot of the now-defunct Uncoverreality.com shock website, which itself was an offshoot of the defunct ogrish.com shock website (later called LiveLeak.com and now redirecting to ItemFix), with many former members of both websites residing on the goregrish message boards.

On April 29th 2023, the site became inactive with a message promising it will return, and stating "Use telegram for our downtime messages". This was caused by the provider of their hosting service droping them as clients for breaking their terms of service, stating the reason was for having child pornography on the website.[5]

History

Goregrish was established in June 2008 under another name, pwnographic.net.[6] It changed its name and domain to Goregrish.com in 2010.

Ngatikaura Ngati autopsy images

In October 2011, controversy arose when the autopsy images of Ngatikaura Ngati appeared on the site. The Children's Commissioner, Russell Wills was "appalled to learn that images of Ngatikaura Ngati have been used on [the] website."[7]

2021 data breach

During July 2021, the site became unreachable for a few days, and visitors were met with a 404 page. When it came back online on the 23rd July 2021, a member of staff posted a thread explaining that the down time had been due to a DDoS attack. He went on to explain that the server had been accessed by an unauthorized third party, and a dump of the site data was stolen.[8] The announcement also gave details about a cloned website of Goregrish appearing at another domain, which members were advised not to visit due to a risk the site could be phishing for passwords. In a later reply, User D.O.A. confirmed that the hacking and cloning took place when he stated: "We have warned people a copy of this website exists, run by hackers. We don't have to provide the URL if you're on goregrish and it's not goregrish.com you know you're not on the right website.".[9]

The Goregrish cloned site

The site which had been cloned using the stolen Goregrish database, more commonly known as website spoofing, was registered at the domain goregri.sh.[10] The person(s) responsible had cloned the entire Goregrish forum, including all threads, media attachments, private messages, the chat archive and every registered member. Users who had been banned at Goregrish.com were un-banned at Goregri.sh and were able to log in to their original accounts. Deleted content had been undeleted and made public, and the staff forums, usually only accessible to moderators and admin, were now open to the public.[11]

The site was online from July 2021 to May 2022. During this time it was renamed to Wargrish, and additionally registered to at least three more domains, wargrish.com,[12] reallygore.com[13] and ashleymurderedmadison.com.[14]
