- General gaming forum
- Official home of The Ridleybank Resistance Front, the Militant Order of Barhah, and several other groups.

Brainstock
- One of the largest and oldest UD boards, created on November 2, 2005. Offers a wide range of discussion areas, among other sections including the popular Rogues Gallery, general UD chat, a recruitment forum, a roleplay forum, UD-unrelated discussion areas, lots of additional forums, and private sections for various groups.
- New members are welcome to sign up! New groups interested in being hosted on Brainstock are welcome as well, and for the creation of private forums are asked to contact the administrators.
- In August 2009, Brainstock moved to a new board with updated software and lots of improvements. Removing the previous dependency on a single root admin, this move helped to make Brainstock even more independent and long-lasting than before. The "old Brainstock" is still available as a read-only archive, but all activity is taking place on the updated board.
- Most users ever online in a 15 minute period: 83 on March 26, 2008.
- Usually at least 20 people online in any 15 minute period, with 40-50 common during heavy traffic periods.

These forums were resurrected for a short while recently and a few old faces came out of the woodwork to post. The site has since been taken down without announcement and with no "Maintenance Mode" message as it was left before. In it's place there is a cryptic message and although it references Malton, it is unclear whether this is related to current Urban Dead events at all.

History of the First Unofficial Forums
Before their closure, The Unofficial UD Forums were the most popular message boards for Urban Dead. They were created by Inscryer, to provide an easy way to communicate for survivor and zombie players alike. While unofficial, and not run by Kevan, they were considered to be the main forums for UD, and were often referred to simply as the forums.
At one point, users of the forums began to complain about the moderation. In response, Inscryer resigned his head admin position and closed the boards briefly to make some changes to admin and moderation status. He left Armourmeado and Xenomrph in charge, and announced that he no longer wishes to be treated like an admin. During the initial closure, a new set of forums was launched at http://udsb.proboards50.com/ (Urban Dead Strikes Back Forum), in expectation of a prolonged downtime of the original boards.
The forums were deleted by Proboards on the 20th of September 2005 because of a case of mistaken identity, that was at first claimed to be a Terms of Service violation. The Urban Dead Strikes Back Forum then took center stage as the most used forum, but after fears that the Proboards TOS could cause the exact same problems a member set up a forum on his own server. UDSB then migrated to this new server, free of restrictive Terms of Service and adverts.
The original Urban Dead Forum was restored on September 28th by the Proboards staff. However the administrator, Xenomrph, locked the forums to allow people to recover any threads or posts and move them to the replacement Urban Dead Forum. A sizable group of players has chosen to permanently abandon Proboards due to its deleting forums without warning and slow time to respond to support requests. Due to technical difficulties at the Desensitised forum (now resolved), the Proboards Urban Dead Forum was reactivated. Xenomrph has implied that he intends to keep the original forum active, and Inscryer has returned to active status there.
The original Urban Dead Forum was also where most of the Ludwig Controversy took place.
Urban Dead: Unleashed
- A brand-new forum made by bloodkiller, who was banned from Brainstock for many reasons. He is sorry!

--Bloodkiller 21:01, 5 January 2008 (UTC) - Urban Dead: Unleashed has since been abandoned.
