The original Oni Central Forum, now referred to as the Carnage board because it (and other B.org forums) ran on the carnage.bungie.org subdomain, was a flat-style board running on simple software known as WebBBS. In March 2003, Harry decided to move to more modern forum software, and OCF was restarted on the ikonBoard software, which presented the indexed style of forum that is usually seen on the Internet today. | The original Oni Central Forum, now referred to as the Carnage board because it (and other B.org forums) ran on the carnage.bungie.org subdomain, was a flat-style board running on simple software known as WebBBS.

ikonBoard turned out to be troubled software, and when the database became corrupted, OCF was moved to the Infinite Core Technology (ICT) software starting in April '05. Due to general dissatisfaction with ICT's quirks, OCF moved to the speedy, simple PunBB software starting in January '07. Longtime members of the community stated their hope at the time that this would be the final move of the forum. | ikonBoard turned out to be troubled software, and when the database became corrupted, OCF was moved to the Infinite Core Technology (ICT) software starting in April '05.

In April of 2011, a minor change in the forum software occurred when the board was moved from PunBB to FluxBB, a fork of PunBB that was being more actively maintained. | ||
