In 2018, the Gorillaz-Unofficial Discord group started the #freethesea campaign, which was a campaign revolving around an effort to make Albarn and Hewlett aware of the amount of fans who would like to see unreleased Plastic Beach material resurface. Although the Discord was originally made as an extension of G-U, many new members also join the chat to this day. Much of the community currently still keeps in contact through the Gorillaz-Unofficial chat on Discord, created by NicoleR, a member of the Gorillaz-Unofficial forums and the creator of the Gorillaz-art blog on Tumblr. However, on December 30, 2015, the website was officially reactivated, but was disabled again in late 2017. The website was unintentionally disabled in April 2014 as a result of the Heartbleed security bug, and the site itself no longer existed as of September 2014. 2-J was also the owner of Gorillaz' official Myspace page, which became the most friended band page on Myspace in 2008, as well as being the owner of the original official website for Damon Albarn's other supergroup The Good The Bad and The Queen. It was created by 2-J, who was a staff member for Gorillaz' former official message board (OMB) until it became inactive. Their Twitter account is also followed by Murdoc's official Twitter page. The website was once officially shouted out by 2D in a phone call on June 2009. At one point, Jamie Hewlett even had the website as his homepage and had the webmaster's number on his cell phone.

They have done multiple interviews with both Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, as well as Cass Browne, Gorillaz' former dummer and scriptwriter. It was also mentioned on Rise of the Ogre, with a page dedicated to the website mentioning that Noodle was a frequent visitor of G-U, and that 2D found out about his father's original surname through the site. The site was also known by people from Zombie Flesh Eaters, Passion Pictures and EMI. Originally created in 2004, the site featured news, history, interviews with people related to the project, a detailed discography, and biographies of the band, its members, creators and collaborators. Gorillaz-Unofficial is an online community focused on the virtual band Gorillaz and its collaborators. G-U's September front page picture, made by Lora ( ).
