Counter Strike 1.5 with WON2 (playable online)
The thread where old-school CS players relived 1.5 and WON2 nostalgia together
A long-running thread in the Red Light District > Games section where a shared copy of Counter Strike 1.5 configured for WON2 online play was passed around. Most of the visible replies are short, warm reactions from members thanking the poster and reminiscing about the classic mod era of CS before Source and 1.6 took over. It ran across multiple pages over several months (late 2007 into early 2008), pulling in a mix of longtime and newer members just to say thanks or share a nostalgic one-liner.
Ahh, the memories of 1.5.— Monkeygeek
Aaaaah, good old CS1.5! Thanks a lot— kaZad

Portal: Stand Alone FileFront Share Thread
One measly download link for Valve's brand-new Portal kept this thread alive for two months straight.
Posted by dark_skillz in late November 2007, this thread shared a single FileFront download link for a standalone version of Valve's just-released game Portal, complete with a copy-pasted Wikipedia-style blurb about the game. The replies stretch from December 2007 into February 2008, with dozens of members dropping in to say thanks, ask for a working link, or complain that the download had no sound. It's a classic Red Light District 'warez sharing' thread — low effort, high traffic, mostly one-line gratitude and bug reports.
there is no sound in the game— ruby16
Might I say I love you?... If this works of course...— valucard
sweet i luv this game actually takes a brain to pl...— mermaid00
Crysis 'Crack' Posted Before the Game Even Released
Someone posted a 'crack' for Crysis... before Crysis had even come out.
A 2007 thread in the Red Light District > Games section where a member posted a Razor 1911 release/Rapidshare links for Crysis along with a chunk of copy-pasted game description text. Other members quickly clowned on the timing, pointing out the game hadn't even been released yet, making cracked copies logically impossible. Lighthearted, low-effort thread typical of the forum's piracy-adjacent 'Red Light District' board, with regulars ribbing each other rather than any real drama.
It's not out yet ...— Peski-Ruski
And cracked games don't exist— Janza
wow so the crack doesnt work for a game that hasnt been out yet? haha— c0rpsegrinder
!Crysis! - Full Game Download Thread
One DVD, a Razor 1911 keygen, and 118 posts of pure 2007 warez-era hype for Crysis.
A classic Fkn0wned 'Games' subforum thread sharing a pirated copy of the just-released Crysis, dressed up with a full Razor 1911-style NFO (release notes, game blurb, install instructions) originally posted by anarchie65 and re-quoted by jacal. The thread is mostly a long tail of one-word 'thx/ty/nice' replies typical of full-game leech threads, punctuated by a mod scolding jacal for quoting an oversized NFO post, some troubleshooting chatter about mounting ISOs and burning to DVD since updates didn't work with the cracked exe, and general hype about the game's graphics and CryENGINE 2.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STILL WORK— hunterbrute224
jacal, you have now over 500 posts and you still don't get that you shouldn't quote so long posts?? if you did that on myg0t, you would be banned already imho..— LoRd Ragealot
Play and regret that you didnt save money to buy a new pc!— anarchie65
COD4 Multiplayer Crack Thread (2007)
The one where fkn0wned tried to crack its way onto CoD4 multiplayer servers
A late-2007 thread in the Games subforum where user Ray Teh Ak shared a multiplayer (and single-player) crack for the freshly-released Call of Duty 4, with a heads-up that cracked copies could only connect to private/cracked servers, complete with links to server-finding sites. The replies are mostly short thank-yous and 'me too' posts from other members grabbing the crack. Typical low-effort, high-traffic filesharing thread for a hot new release, with a couple of since-banned members (Olie22, daxsmoke) chiming in among the crowd.
if you guys can't play multiplayer, i found this crack - also a single-player crack— Ray Teh Ak
oh and you can only play on cracked servers of course, if you didn't already know— Ray Teh Ak
thank you its greatly appreciated!— godofwhore
Doom 1-3 + RoE AddOn + Mods + Extras DVD Release
A DVD-sized love letter to Doom: every game, patch, mod, and 'medicine' one 2007 uploader could cram onto 32 discworth of CDs
A member named flatschGER posted a bilingual (German/English) release compiling Doom 1, 2, 3, and the Resurrection of Evil addon along with a pile of mods like a German-language mod, Doomfighter, Doom2forDoom3, and a gravity mod, plus official patches and a compatibility fix for old Windows 9x/Me systems. The post included the standard scene-era extras of that time (a crack to bypass online CD-key checks) and even a bonus movie thrown in 'to make the DVD complete.' The reply thread is short and appreciative, just a handful of members hyping the release and thanking the poster, typical of the low-key warez/mod-sharing culture in the Red Light District > Games subforum.
on these DVD is so ziemlig everything drauf which the Doom heart needs— flatschGER
bin stolz auf dich— .:BaTmAn:.

Bioshock Crack/Release Thread
A 2007 thread full of 'unhide' one-liners chasing a pirated copy of Bioshock
This thread in the Red Light District's Games subforum was a release/download thread for the game Bioshock, started by longtime member pyeman shortly after the game's original 2007 launch. Most of the replies are short 'ty' or 'unhide' posts from members trying to reveal hidden download links, plus some back-and-forth about file sizes and whether a working crack for the game's copy protection actually existed. It's a classic snapshot of that era's warez-forum culture, where entire threads could run for months on little more than gratitude posts and requests to unlock content.
Hey, A legitimate crack has finally been released...— Sublyme
OMG PLEASE BE FOR REAL— Peski-Ruski
no way you can get past the online validator and ...— crad
Halo Custom Edition - "*Online Only*" thread
Old heads pop in just to say Halo CE was the best community they ever ran with.
A short, low-key nostalgia thread in the Games subforum where members reminisce about Halo Custom Edition, calling it one of gaming's classics. A staff member recalls playing Halo CE competitively in CAL and rates its community as their all-time favorite. Replies are brief, warm, and appreciative rather than technical or contentious.
greatest game of alll time, I use to play halo ce in cal, my favourite community ever.— HaSh
one of the classics..nice work— MiZZun0
Counter-Strike 1.6 NON-Steam Full Download Thread
A user named Nobs drops a 'full working' CS 1.6 non-Steam installer and twenty people just say thanks
A member called Nobs posted a hosted copy of Counter-Strike 1.6 with a non-Steam patcher, padded out with a full Wikipedia-style rundown of how CS gameplay works. The download itself was locked behind the classic forum ritual of 'reply to unlock hidden content.' The rest of the thread is almost entirely a wall of one-word 'ty'/'thanks' replies from members over several months, plus a couple of VIP and club-tagged users dropping in to say 'nice one' — a pretty typical Red Light District > Games download thread from this era of the forum.
unhide— DILLIGAF
mmmm css— chickenman
nice one :)— [VIP] h4x0rZ
WoW + Burning Crusade Download Thread
The one where half the forum just wanted a free copy of WoW and BC before buying gamecards
A late-2007 thread in the 'Red Light District > Games' section (used for miscellaneous/off-topic game shares) offering a non-Rapidshare download of World of Warcraft and its Burning Crusade expansion. The bulk of the page is the usual thank-you chain — members dropping quick 'ty', 'thanks man', and gratitude posts after grabbing the files, with a bit of chatter about whether you'd still need to buy gamecards and plans to play on private servers instead. Nothing dramatic here, just a snapshot of the forum's file-sharing culture and its revolving cast of low-post-count members and a few recognizable old-timers.
Thanks alot Afteryou, you just saved my ass. I was borrowed Wow and Wow Burning Crusade, but BC had no cd 1.— havok123
Im guessing this is just a complete download of both the game sand we will still need to buy the gamecards.— Mclovin!
LOL hope theres not too many links ^^ gonna play on private servas— retarded_elephant69
SNES Emulator + 800 ROMs (Red Light District bump thread)
A guy dumps an SNES emulator with 800 ROMs in the Red Light District, and the whole thread turns into a two-page thank-you parade
A page-two tail end of a Red Light District 'Games' thread where someone shared an SNES emulator bundled with 800 ROMs. Most of the visible activity is just members dropping quick one-liner thanks ('lol', 'ty', 'woot', 'unhide') across late Feb through March 2008, a classic warez-board bump pattern rather than any real discussion. No drama here, just a steady trickle of regulars checking in to grab retro games.
wooooooooo sexy tiem!— llamahat
fucking rawr— vermiLLion
Whoa. Hope it works.— laserbee
Gears of War PC Download Mirrors Thread
A 2008 Gears of War PC download thread that's mostly one-word 'thanks' posts from forum regulars
Posted in the Red Light District > Games subforum in March 2008, this thread by user abstract1337 offered a batch of download mirrors for the Games for Windows release of Gears of War, complete with the standard promotional blurb and system requirements. The rest of the thread is a string of short replies from other members ('thanks', 'nice!', 'wow', 'looky see') acknowledging the links, typical of the low-effort bump culture around game-sharing threads on Fkn0wned. Nothing dramatic happened here — it's a quiet, everyday snapshot of the site's warez/games trading scene.
Ive yet to play this game, ive heard its the shit.— Woosta
lets have a look thankyou— Nutt

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 RapidShare Drop
A 2007 warez-thread relic: one member's RapidShare share of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2, and nine 'thx unhide' replies to prove it.
This is a Red Light District > Games thread from October 2007 where member AcidViper posted a RapidShare release link for Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2, cover art and all. The rest of the thread is the classic pattern of the era: a string of low-effort 'thanks', 'nice', and 'unhide' replies from other members just trying to reveal the hidden download content, with zero actual discussion of the game itself. It's a small, unremarkable but very representative snapshot of the pirated-games subculture that thrived in this part of the forum.
Take me on.— AcidViper
unhide— craigp123
nice!!!!!— djcool007
Spiderman 3 Sharing Thread — the RapidShare Complaint Ritual
A Spiderman 3 sharing thread that turned into the forum's favorite pastime: dogpiling on RapidShare links
A short-lived thread in the Red Light District's Games subforum where user pyeman apparently posted a Spiderman 3 file/link in 2007. The real content of the thread is the running gag that follows: multiple members repeatedly beg for anything hosted somewhere other than RapidShare, poking fun at the host's slow download speeds and paywalls. A few thank-yous and one-word replies trickle in over the following months, and one participant (p0mp) later shows up marked as Banned.
plz no rapidshare— meghal
anything but RS— pewpewpew
fux rs bitch!— p0mp
GTA: San Andreas >600MB ONLY< compressed download thread
One compressed GTA:SA download, five pages of "ty", "unhide", and one guy's CRC error nobody could fix.
A classic Red Light District file-share thread offering a squeezed-down (>600MB) copy of GTA: San Andreas, the kind of post that kept warez-adjacent gaming forums alive in the mid-2000s. By page 5 it's mostly a long tail of members bumping the thread with 'ty', 'unhide', and 'gimme' just to reveal hidden download content, plus one user (rogersyahooman) hitting a corrupt archive/CRC error while extracting the files. Banned member Millishka still drops by to say thanks, a small reminder of how these threads outlived their original posters and mods.
The file is corrupt— rogersyahooman
open sesame!!!— mcage
gimme!— songahm
SWAT 4 Download Thread
One rapidshare link, six pages of forum members just saying 'thx' and 'legend' to Guru.
A game-sharing thread in the Games section (filed oddly under 'Red Light District') where user Guru posted a download/crack link for SWAT 4 spread across a big file host and a smaller crack archive. The replies are the usual low-effort forum filler of the era — one-word hype, skepticism about whether the link actually works, and someone asking why it wasn't hosted on RapidShare. Nothing dramatic here, just a typical file-sharing thread from Gametration's cheat/games community circa 2007.
ur a legend guru— Jebus AUS
no rapidshare? sounds good— Nighthawk
unhide ?— pyeman
Garry's Mod Standalone (No-Steam) Full Game Share
The thread where half of fkn0wned tried to get Garry's Mod running without Steam
A share thread in the 'Games' section of the Red Light District offering a no-Steam standalone version of Garry's Mod, spanning at least 4 pages by early 2008. The visible tail end of the thread is mostly low-effort replies from members thanking the OP, confirming downloads worked, or asking basic questions, typical of a popular file-sharing thread on its way out. Nothing dramatic happens here, just the steady trickle of 'thx', 'nice', and 'ill try' posts that these download threads always attracted.
thnx could you download???— alexthemegaman
Nice job =D— sanjuro3456
THX— andrew200100
FIFA 2008 Download Release Thread
A one-line download post that racked up a page of 'ty man' — peak 2007 forum energy.
A member named laptops posted a download link for FIFA 2008 in the Red Light District > Games section, part of the forum's warez/downloads subforum. The thread quickly filled with short one- or two-word replies thanking the poster ('ty man', 'n1', 'thanks'), typical of release threads on this board. No real discussion, drama, or technical detail — just a steady stream of gratitude from a wide cross-section of the community's regulars over about two weeks in late September/October 2007.
n1 laptops, ive been waiting for ages ty man— Afreak
Thanks Laptops— cedars
Ooo sexy— steveo460
crack all steam games??
One member swore he'd found the 'biggest uber crack EVER' — reality had other plans.
A member named abstract1337 posted a megaupload link claiming it would unlock every game on a Steam account's library, though the files reportedly wouldn't actually download. Other members chimed in with half-joking workarounds (borrowing a friend's loaded account to install games), a stray double-post derail, and eventually the classic VAC-secure server problem that comes with pirated Steam games. The thread fizzles out with a dose of reality: cracked games can't connect to secure servers, and buying the game is suggested as the real fix.
It gets all steam games on your games list but they won't download?? So if someone knows how you can download them then this will be the biggest uber crack EVER!— abstract1337
Yes, I have. Buy the original game, cracked games cannot connect to VAC-Secured servers— rnie
FFS sry for double post dont no why its doing that— scuddzilla
1.6 NON Steam
A parade of "unhide/thx" one-liners chasing a non-Steam CS 1.6 download, complete with grumbling about cracked servers booting anyone without the right anti-cheat bypass.
This is page 2 of a thread in the Red Light District > Games section where members traded short, low-effort replies (mostly 'thx', 'unhide', 'nice job') to unlock or acknowledge a shared non-Steam Counter-Strike 1.6 resource. A recurring side-complaint was that cracked/pirated servers were hard to stay on without specific anti-cheat clients or a reserved slot. One now-banned member chimed in with patch-version advice for compatibility with cheats. Overall it's a typical bump-heavy 'gimme the file' thread typical of mid-2000s cracked-game communities.
LETS SEE, I HAVE A NON STEAM 1.6 BUT THE CRACKED SERVERS SUCK..HARD TO GET ON W/OUT BEING BOOTED FOR NOT HAVING sXe...OR "SLOT REVERVED"...— UserID_7588

Unreal Tournament 3 Rapidshare Links Thread
Forty-odd replies deep, half the thread is just people saying 'ty' for a UT3 download nobody could still get to work.
A late-2007/early-2008 thread in the Games sub-forum of Fkn0wned's Red Light District where someone posted Rapidshare links to Unreal Tournament 3. The bulk of this second page is a long chain of one-line 'thanks', 'nice', and 'still work?' replies as members tried the links, with at least one report that most of the download parts had already gone dead by December 2007. It's a snapshot of classic mid-2000s warez-forum culture — link-sharing, Xfire handles in every signature, and members hyping their newly acquired 'prem accounts' for premium file hosts.
Um only the info file is active, all other links are dead— jbertram
I FUCKING LOVE UNREAL TOURNAMENT— Anexxion
AWESOME, since we now have prem accounts (most of us)— Anexxion
F.E.A.R Rapidshare Game Share Thread
Someone posted a Rapidshare link for F.E.A.R. in 2007 and the thank-you spam never stopped.
A simple game-sharing thread in the Red Light District > Games section where -Shikari- posted a Rapidshare link and blurb for the 2005 shooter F.E.A.R. The replies are the classic forum-era pattern: a wall of one-line 'ty', 'thx', 'unlock', and 'gotta luv dis game' posts from members racking up post counts rather than real discussion. Notable mostly as a time capsule of the site's game-download culture and its member roster rather than for any drama.
scary game o.O— asshoel50

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy game download thread
A 2007 staffer drops a Jedi Academy download link and the thread turns into a lightsaber-shaped nostalgia trip.
A staff member named HaSh posted a RapidShare-style release of Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy in the Games subforum of the Red Light District section, complete with box art and a copy-pasted game description. Replies were the typical low-effort warez-thread chorus: thanks, requests to 'unhide' the download links, and comments about whether laptops could run it. Nothing dramatic happened — just a small, friendly slice of late-2000s forum life where members traded old PC games.
Holy crap! My laptop can definitely run this. Thanks alot. =)— Sith_Anakin
Mad fun game tbh. definitely worth it. oh btw, unhide lol— Big Smoke
Very nice, I likey.— DJSketch
[RS.com] The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion
A Rapidshare drop for Oblivion turns into a 3-page love letter to user Guru.
A download-sharing thread in the Red Light District's Games subforum, posted by member Guru offering an RS.com (Rapidshare) link set for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. The thread ran to three pages mostly filled with short thank-yous and praise for Guru's link posts, plus one appearance from staff member Fluffman. Typical of the era's warez/game-sharing culture on the forum, with a banned member (VWA-Dynasty) still chiming in.
Way too many linkz, lol.— Killz0rzz
Oh god. I love you.— Cornbread
nice work guru as always— VWA-Dynasty
Call of Duty 4 Singleplayer Demo Share
A user named Janza (later banned) drops a hidden-content CoD4 demo link and the thread just... politely thanks him for years
A short-lived thread in Gametration.com's 'Red Light District > Games' section where user Janza posted a link (behind a hidden-content tag) to a Call of Duty 4 singleplayer demo, accompanied by some game screenshots. The replies trickle in sporadically over several months from late 2007 into early 2008, mostly one-line acknowledgments and thanks from other members. Notable mainly as a small time-capsule of the forum's file-sharing culture and its 'hide_me' code-tag convention, plus the fact that original poster Janza is marked as banned by the time of archiving.
nice, unhide— Zanco
Sweet, I'll try this.— Monkeygeek
woot— ohhmaniacc
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men download thread
A 2007 game-share thread that's basically 40 people saying 'ty' and begging for reup links
A late-2007/early-2008 thread in the Games section where user dark_skillz posted download links (via an image/hidden content) for the Kane & Lynch: Dead Men game. The rest of the thread is the classic forum leech pattern: dozens of members dropping quick 'ty', 'thx', 'w00t' replies, a few asking how many links or parts were needed, one member reporting graphics issues while playing, and a stray accusation that a poster's content was 'fake' demanding a ban. Nothing dramatic, just a snapshot of the site's everyday file-sharing culture and its low-effort bump culture.
please dont be RS links— soad11789
Admin ban this player.This is fake!!!— F.E.A.R.
How many links :$— Stev0
[MU] Call of Duty: Black Ops - SKIDROW + Update 1to6 + Zombie
The Black Ops warez thread that just kept getting bumped with 'ty' for half a year straight.
A Red Light District > Games release thread where crew member duckbutta posted a SKIDROW-cracked copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops, complete with the classic SKIDROW ASCII NFO, install notes, and scene greetings, then followed up over the following weeks with multiple game updates (1 through 6) and a Zombies solo mode enabler. The thread ran across three pages from November 2010 into mid-2011, mostly filled with one-word 'ty'/'thanks' replies from members unlocking the hidden download links, plus the occasional gripe about limited zombie maps or download size. Admin PopTart dropped by to praise the share, giving a small glimpse of forum hierarchy in action.
i ride upon thine nuts sir tyvm /bow— thatguyjosh
i hope this isnt like 80 1gb downloads— knukz
But it is having only 2 maps zobie:(— ZeuS
Trackmania Nations Full Game Download Thread
A free racing game drops in the Games forum and half the replies are just people saying 'unhide' to see the link
A 2007 thread in the Red Light District > Games subforum where user wickedSICK (posting under the name DOSEr) shared a full download of Trackmania Nations, the free stunt-racing game with the Stadium environment and online ladder. The thread mostly consists of members thanking the poster, giving rep, and posting 'unhide' to reveal the hidden download content — typical of forum download threads that gated content behind a reply requirement. It drew replies over several months from mid-2007 into what was likely early 2008, showing steady casual traffic on the board.
cool this is a good game to burn up time with thank you very much you deserve some rep!— godofwhore
nice a racing game unhide— snuffz
love u for that mate thanks— .:BaTmAn:.
Final Fantasy VII PC Rip Thread — Classic 'Unhide' Warez Culture
A PC rip of a PS1 classic drops in the Red Light District, and half the replies are just people begging to see the hidden content.
A 2007 thread in Fkn0wned's Red Light District > Games subforum where user HaSh posted a Rapidshare-hosted rip of Final Fantasy VII, padded out with a copy-pasted Wikipedia blurb about the game's history and sales. The thread is a classic example of the 'hide tags' era of warez forums, with a long tail of members chiming in over two months just to say 'unhide' or express low-effort excitement ('ZOMFG?!', 'sexy', 'nice ty'). No real drama or discussion of the game itself — it's pure download-thread etiquette from the late-2000s scene.
unhide the leetness— xnarath
ZOMFG?!— pewpewpew
Now if only you can get ff8 too— Pr0wL3r454
Massive List of Tycoon Games (Reply-to-Unlock Thread)
Six pages of forum regulars saying thanks for a giant tycoon-game download list nobody can actually see anymore.
This was a long-running Red Light District thread on Fkn0wned.com where the original poster (Kiingy) shared a big compiled list of tycoon-genre PC games, hidden behind a 'reply to unlock' spoiler tag typical of the era's warez/downloads boards. The bulk of this final page is just members replying with quick thanks, hides, and one-liners to unlock the hidden list, plus a bit of the usual off-topic banter and inside jokes in signatures. Nothing dramatic happens here — it's a pure nostalgia snapshot of low-effort 'thanks unlock' reply culture on a mid-2000s gaming/cheats forum.
Absolutley Massive List Of Tycoon Games. Just Reply To See The Enormous List. Enjoy,— ofactor1 (quoting Kiingy)
I hope they have Prison Tycoon— kozmik

Empire Earth III Rapidshare Release Thread
A Rapidshare drop for Empire Earth III turns into a nostalgic pile-on of one-word 'thanks' posts.
This was a release-sharing thread in the Games subforum of the Red Light District section, where user asshoel50 posted a promotional writeup (complete with garbled machine-translated game description and system requirements) for Empire Earth III, framed as a Rapidshare release under the 'RELOADED' scene-group tag. The rest of the thread is a long string of short replies from members thanking the poster, reminiscing about the Empire Earth / Age of Empires series, or just posting one-word approvals. Nothing dramatic happens — it's a typical low-effort but well-trafficked warez-sharing thread typical of the era's game piracy subforums.
o i love empire earth!— corbalz
nice i love age of empires— nightsh4d
unihde thx— Skorpian
GTA Mega-Thread: 'Unhide Plz' Culture in Action
A GTA download mega-thread so long it hit 10 pages of 'unhide plz' and 'thx'
This was page 10 of a sprawling mega-thread in the Games sub-forum collecting downloads for the Grand Theft Auto series. By this point the thread had devolved into a long tail of one-line replies — mostly members asking to unhide the hidden content or dropping quick thanks. It's a good snapshot of the era's forum culture, where 'unhide' replies were the price of entry to see download links, padding thread lengths for months.
unhide!— Prof_Oak
ZOMG thanks— Greatness
dude thats awesome, thanks— Someone510
[RS] Hacker Evolution 2007
A guy shares a hacking sim, forgets the password, and half the thread is just people waiting for it
A member named Emrys posted a release-share (RS) thread for the 2007 game 'Hacker Evolution', an exoSyphen title where players simulate being a hacker breaking into servers and stealing money/identities. The thread is a classic low-effort download-share: a short pitch, a bunch of one-word 'thanks'/'nice'/'awesome' replies, a minor comedy beat where the poster initially forgot to include the password and had to follow up, and a straggler asking for a serial. Nothing dramatic happened — it's a snapshot of routine file-sharing culture in the Red Light District > Games subforum, populated by regular low-to-mid post-count members.
Er whats the password lol?— Stev0
Ok, I am sorry I forgot to include the Password lol— Emrys
When playing an exoSyphen game you skip meals and sleep less so you can play more.— Emrys
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas Thread
A 2007 R6 Vegas thread where the replies were shorter than the game's install time.
A brief 2007 thread in Fkn0wned's Games subforum (under Red Light District) introducing Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas with a boxshot image. Replies were mostly one-liners of hype ('hell yeah', 'thx'), with one poster joking about the pirated nature of the copy shared. Several posters, including the OP and a couple of repliers, carried the 'Banned' member group tag, typical of the forum's revolving-door moderation style.
wow...now that's what i call pirating— dollahite7
hell yeah— oinkypig
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines download thread
One vampire-RPG download link, a borrowed FilePlanet account, and a chorus of 'thnx' — classic Red Light District filesharing.
A short 2007 thread in the Red Light District > Games subforum where a member shared a download link for the cult RPG Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, mirrored across a couple of file hosts and routed through a shared/borrowed FilePlanet account. The rest of the thread is the usual low-effort appreciation train — a handful of members dropping by to say thanks or that the game looked cool. Nothing dramatic, just a small, everyday piece of the forum's warez/file-sharing culture.
This is tested by me and works fine.— lol
sweet thanks— FatalGFX
How To Mount ISOs (Windows XP)
Before daemon tools was a household name, fkn0wned had you covered on mounting ISOs the old-fashioned way.
A tech-help thread in the Games subforum walking members through using a free virtual CD-drive tool to mount ISO files on Windows XP, complete with a step-by-step install and setup guide. Posted by longtime/notable member -Still Life-, whose profile shows a 'Banned' group status and over 3,300 posts, giving it that classic early-2010s cheat-forum flavor of practical tech tutorials mixed with colorful member titles. It's a mundane but nostalgic slice of the era when burning, ripping, and mounting discs was everyday computing knowledge.

[MU] [RS]Knights of the Old Republic: 2
A staff-posted KOTOR II upload thread that turned into two pages of one-word 'thx' bumps
A game-sharing thread in the Games subforum of Red Light District, posted by staff member Fluffman offering an upload ('MU'/'RS' links) of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II with box art and blurb copied from the game's description. The replies are almost entirely low-effort thank-yous and one-liners from members grabbing the download, typical of these upload threads. One reply jokingly praises Fluff and the admins for uploading 'the best shit,' claiming the earth would stop rotating if they died — a small nod to the community's reliance on its uploader-staff.
Fluff & other admin upload the best shit. If they died, im sure the earth would stop rotating.— anthrax_hax
+ R E P I F Y A L O V E M E !— Fluffman
Marvel Vs Capcom 2 (Dreamcast) Share Thread
A staff member drops a Dreamcast classic (with emulator) into the Red Light District games bin — one 'ty' and the thread goes quiet.
A short, low-key file-sharing post in the Games subforum of Fkn0wned's Red Light District, offering an English version of Marvel Vs Capcom 2 for Dreamcast bundled with an emulator. Posted by staff member ..//TOMCRUISE in January 2008, it's the classic RS.com-link-and-screenshot format typical of the era's warez-adjacent forum culture. Only one reply, a brief thanks from another member, shows it got at least some quiet love.

[Multiple Mirrors] Team Fortress 2 download thread
The one where HaSh dropped a pile of mirror links for TF2 and half the forum just said thanks and bounced
Started by longtime member HaSh in the Red Light District's Games subforum, this October 2007 thread offered multi-part mirror links (split across hosts like Megaupload and RapidShare) for downloading Team Fortress 2 shortly after its release. Most replies are one-word bumps and thank-yous typical of a warez-mirror thread, though one user near the end reported the game disconnecting them with an ownership error, asking for help troubleshooting it. The thread captures the casual file-sharing culture of the site's Games section, where new releases got mirrored and passed around within days of launch.
i have expeirenced a problem with this today. it worked fine yesterday when i downloaded it, but today it would load and whenever i tried to join a server i would get disconnected and it would say, "you do not own this game, please log on to the account you do"— despair6671
Every link has the exact same part, you can download part01 from megaupload and part2 from rapdishare etc.— HaSh
Half Life 2: Episode One - The Full Game...
A staffer shares how to unlock Episode One for free — because who actually paid for it?
A [Staff] member named Fluffman posts a method for CS:S owners who got Half-Life 2 bundled with their Steam account to access Episode One without buying it, complete with screenshots. It's a short, casual thread in the Games subforum with a handful of replies thanking him — the kind of low-stakes 'here's a freebie' post typical of the site's Steam-era piracy-adjacent culture.
This is for anyone who like me bought a CS:S account bundled with HL2 and couldn't be bothered to buy EP1 just to see what happens next... Just put it in a folder and run it!— Fluffman
hmmm thanx!— pewpewpew
Halo 2 Vista Megaupload Drop
Old-school Megaupload drop for Halo 2 on Vista — complete with the inevitable 'file not found' bump years later
A staff member named Industry posted a Megaupload link and description for Halo 2 (PC/Vista port) back in January 2008, in the Games subforum tucked under the site's 'Red Light District' section. A handful of members dropped quick thank-you replies, the classic low-effort courtesy post that filled out download threads on sites like this. True to the era, the Megaupload link eventually died, with one member returning later to ask for a repost — a small but perfect time capsule of how ephemeral file-sharing threads from this period actually were.
please repost the crack, file not found :'(— FreeRRsStB
thanx— skater4life
Postal 2 AWP! only 180 mb!
A tiny mod that made Postal 2 'a lot cooler' — machetes, samurai swords, and a YouTube link that still holds the thread together
A short 2007 thread in the Games subforum where member anarchie65 shares a small add-on for Postal 2 called AWP ('a week in paradise'), touting new weapons and melee tools like a machete and samurai sword, with a YouTube demo video. A handful of regulars drop by with quick thanks and low-effort reactions ('ty', 'nice vid'), typical of a casual mod-sharing post rather than a big event.
with this lil add on, it's a lot cooler (you have now a lot better "tools", like the machete and the samurai sword). and more weapons!!— anarchie65
wtf i9s this? xD lol unhide ill try it out— thesource
StarCraft: Brood War rapidshare share thread
Someone dropped a Brood War download link back in 2008 — cue the 'unhide plz' chorus.
A short thread in the Red Light District > Games subforum where user Industry posted a Rapidshare link for StarCraft: Brood War, accompanied by a screenshot. The rest of the thread is the classic forum ritual of members replying just to 'unhide' the hidden download content, a common courtesy/spam pattern on file-sharing threads of the era. Nothing dramatic, just a quiet nostalgic snapshot of old-school warez-adjacent forum culture.
IGotPwned :[— Industry
Unhide, thank you!— hidendra
Mass Effect 2 (RAZOR1911) Warez Release Thread
A RAZOR1911-cracked Mass Effect 2 drop that kept the 'ty' replies rolling in for over a year
A warez-release thread in the Red Light District's Games subforum, posted by staffer duckbutta, sharing a multi-part upload of Mass Effect 2 cracked by the legendary scene group RAZOR1911, complete with cover art, screenshots, and the group's classic NFO ASCII art. The thread itself is unremarkable content-wise but shows the site's typical release-and-thank-you culture, with a long tail of members dropping quick 'ty'/'thx' replies from late 2010 through mid-2011. One reply stands out as a small slice of real life — a user saying their own disc was lost and the upload saved them after a torrent failed.
thanks! torrentz broke for this. my cd is lost and you saved me :)— junit5000
83 danke— thatguyjosh
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl RapidShare Upload (2007 warez-sharing)
A 34-part RapidShare drop of a classic — because in 2007, that's how you shared a game.
A one-post thread in the Red Light District's Games sub-board where member ArmedLlama shared a multi-language copy of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, split across 34 RapidShare .rar parts. Typical of the era's warez-sharing culture on Fkn0wned, with a brief personal note calling it 'one of my fav games.' No replies or discussion followed, just a straightforward file-share post.
One of my fav games!— ArmedLlama
Poppadoms catch fire in the microwave, Well mine do...— ArmedLlama
Crysis Beta Sharing Thread (2007)
Back when Crysis was still just a beta and everyone in Red Light District wanted in.
A thread in the Games subforum where member HaSh shared word of a Crysis beta (sourced from RS.com) circulating in 2007. This was during the peak PC-gaming hype cycle for Crysis, and the thread reflects the community's usual habit of trading links, keys, and early-access game builds. As a season Fkn0wned regular and '[FkN] Crew' member, HaSh's post drew the site's typical mix of hype and banter in what was otherwise a hacking/cheat-focused community branching into general gaming talk.
thats right— HaSh
Scarface: The World Is Yours PC upload thread
Fkn0wned's Red Light District gets a Scarface: The World Is Yours drop, complete with a two-page thanks parade.
A short thread in the Games sub-forum of Fkn0wned's 'Red Light District' section sharing a 2007 PC copy of the Scarface game via an external file host. Replies are mostly brief appreciation posts rather than discussion, with members from the CS:S crowd stopping by to say thanks. Nothing dramatic here, just a typical file-sharing thread from the site's Games board.
fkn sweet thanks— VWA-Dynasty
RESIDENT EVIL MEGA THREAD! - Movies, RE:4 PC, and more
One thread to rule them all: zombies, Milla Jovovich, and RE:4 finally hitting PC.
A general fan-discussion thread in the Games subforum dedicated to all things Resident Evil, spanning the movie franchise (including the Apocalypse film) and the PC release of Resident Evil 4. Started by longtime member Fluffman as a catch-all 'mega thread' for the series, it reads as a typical mid-2000s gaming-community hangout post rather than any drama or major event. The archived content is mostly forum scaffolding with limited substantive discussion preserved.
Halo Custom Edition Download Thread
A 2007 Halo: Custom Edition download drop that had the regulars lining up just to say thanks
A short, low-drama share thread in the Red Light District > Games section where user bobbafett07 posted a rapidshare link for Halo Custom Edition, crediting warez-BB as the source. The rest of the thread is a string of one-line 'thanks'/'nice' replies from various members, plus one banned user (thesource) popping in to ask for it to be unhidden. Nothing eventful happened here — it's a typical vintage file-sharing courtesy thread from the forum's early days.
Thanks to warez-BB— bobbafett07
Cool I've been wanting to try this on PC.Thanks— Absurd
unhide— thesource
Shadowrun game-share thread (RS.com)
A 2007 game-sharing thread for Shadowrun boils down to a page of 'ty' and 'thanks' replies
This is page 2 of a Games sub-board thread in the Red Light District section where a member shared a rapidshare-hosted copy of the Shadowrun game, noted as a small 860 MB download. Most of the visible activity is short gratitude replies from members confirming they grabbed it, plus one comment noting they already had it for the 360. Nothing dramatic here — just a routine file-sharing thread typical of the era's forum culture.
