Anyone can be a member. Only members with Show this member's stream ticked
get their channel checked, a live badge, or a player embed — new members start unticked, and an
untick takes effect on the next publish. A Twitch handle on its own does nothing but add a link.
Photos are cropped to a tall portrait (330×428 proportions) and fill the top of the card,
so a head-and-shoulders shot works best — framing is taken from the top, so hair stays in and
feet get trimmed. No photo yet? They get the OGs backdrop as a stand-in, which sits in the row
exactly like a real headshot until you upload one.
On email: anything you put on a public page gets scraped by spam bots eventually. Use a
forwarding alias like name@the-ogs.tv rather than a personal address — if it starts
attracting junk you can kill the alias in Cloudflare without touching anyone's real inbox. An
address that doesn't look like an address is ignored rather than shown as a broken link.
Any size or shape; they lay out in a row and wrap. Captions are optional.
Masthead: 2560 × 900, full-bleed. Cropped to fill, so keep the subject centred
— it survives down to a phone. Use this one if the art already contains the logo; the
crest and the big title hide themselves so nothing is said twice.
In the content column: 2400 × 600 (4:1). Renders at most 1045px wide, so that is
2× everywhere.
Behind the hero: 2560 × 900, sits at 30% opacity under the text. Texture only
— art with a logo in it will collide with the title.
Capped at 2560px wide on upload. PNG keeps transparency, JPG is smaller.
The Servers page groups by Game. There's nothing extra to set up for a new game — give a server a game name that isn't in use yet and it gets its own section. Group order follows the order of the servers here. Spelling matters: “Wardogs” and “War Dogs” would be two sections.
These show on the home page and in full on /server. The connect string is click-to-copy for visitors, so put exactly what someone types to join. There's no live player count: WARDOGS has no public server query protocol yet, and a widget stuck on “unknown” is worse than none.
House rules and the offences matrix moved to their own Rules tab.
One list, shown on both the Servers page and the Rules page (/rules).
Edit here and both update.
Each row is an offence and the level it lands on. The three levels are fixed — Kick / Timeout, Suspension / Temp ban, Permanent ban — so every row means the same thing. Rows show in this order on the page; the section hides itself when empty.
Type a title and hit Find art. Picking a result imports the header image, the store blurb, the genres and the store link in one go. Re-import from Steam refreshes them later without searching again. Everything stays editable — overwrite the summary with your own words if you'd rather. Not on Steam? Write the summary yourself and upload a cover.
Tags are the other groups you belong to. Define one here and every member card grows a checkbox for it — no need to come back to me to add a new one. Removing a tag also clears it from anyone carrying it. Renaming is safe; the badge text changes and nobody loses it.

Tick one to add it to the page below; Hide drops a suggestion you don't want. Nothing here is visible to visitors until it's added and published.
Paste a YouTube link (watch, share, or Shorts) or a Twitch clip link. Anything else is refused — TikTok, Instagram and Kick clips aren't embedded here by decision. Order here is the order on the page.
Top of the Links page. The section hides itself when this list is empty.
For the groups we overlap with, not sponsors. Logos keep their own shape and sit centred, so wide marks are fine. Leave a link blank to hide that button.
Shows on the Servers page, under the rules. Blank link hides it entirely. With a monthly cost set, the page shows cost, raised so far, a bar, and months covered, from the host's public donation page — re-read on the hour.
Shows who's online and an invite button. The ID is on your server under Server Settings → Widget, where Enable Server Widget also has to be on or Discord refuses to render it. Blank hides the whole section.

Send the link to the person you're adding. It works once, expires in 48 hours, and whoever opens it picks their own username and password on this site — nothing about their credentials ever passes through you. If a link leaks before it's used, just make a new one; the old one is dead the moment either is used.
Asks the game server exactly as the site does and shows the raw answer — including the proxy's own words if it refuses. Use this before asking anyone why the card says Offline.
For an image you need a link to but don't want on any page — the server banner the game config points at, say. Uploaded as-is, no resizing. The link is permanent for that exact file: change the image and you get a new link.
