Welcome to BunkerAtlas v8.0.0! This is a major release that introduces a new user system, community features, and a refreshed design. Tons of bug fixes, smoother experience, and a lot more.

I strive to keep the site ad-free, but to keep the servers running and upgrade them as needed, I've added a Supporter role that removes ads. All funds go directly to sustaining and upgrading the server to make sure every visitor has a smooth experience.
