k0rn's Departure: A Quiet Farewell Thread

One member logs off for good, and the thread that marked it

A short General Discussion thread from mid-2007 noting that longtime member 'k0rn' had left the Fkn0wned community. Original poster bigstew thanked k0rn for their contributions to the site, and admin Malware chimed in shortly after. It reads as a small, low-key send-off typical of the forum's tight-knit vibe rather than any major drama.

I see that k0rn is no longer with us. Thanks for all of your contributions and everything else you've done for this site.— bigstew

BUZZY IS BACK IN TOWN

A brand-new account claims to be a returning legend — nobody buys it for a second.

A user named Buzzy registered on Fkn0wned.com and immediately posted announcing his triumphant 'return,' claiming to be the 'best hacker.' Longtime members and staff instantly called out the obvious contradiction — his join date was that very day, meaning he couldn't be 'back' at all. A moderator shut the thread down within hours, capping off a classic, brief bit of forum skepticism toward a self-proclaimed nobody trying to make an entrance.

hi guys iam back say hi— Buzzy

You joined today, you are not back.. Jus some idiot trying to be funny.— sammo

Who the fuck are you? Topic closed.— DCLXVI

Epic Account Dump Thread

A hidden-content account dump that had half the forum spamming 'unhide' for five pages straight

Ment0r posted a locked 'Epic Account Dump' thread on Fkn0wned's General Discussion board, hiding the actual content behind the classic forum trick of requiring a reply to unlock it. The thread exploded with dozens of members posting quick 'ty', 'unhide', and 'reveal please' replies just to see the goods, a staple ritual of that era's account/leak sharing culture. A few regulars like ZoaQ and sYntax chimed in, with sYntax later noting the dump didn't actually work. The thread was eventually locked, a common fate for these dump/leech threads once they ran their course.

epics! EDIT: Nothing works :(— sYntax

Hmm.. Acc with no psw? Weird— Gamemania

Great share bro ;)— ZoaQ

Travis Barker Dead? Rumor Thread Derails Into Rap vs Metal War

A guy asks if Blink-182's drummer died — thread immediately derails into a full-blown rap vs. metal war.

In November 2007, member waLLa started a thread asking if a rumor about Travis Barker's death was true, unsure enough to post it in General Discussion instead of World News. Other members quickly debunked it as a MySpace hoax/publicity stunt, but the thread almost instantly spiraled into an unrelated, heated argument about whether rap or metal 'takes more skill,' complete with genre debates, name-dropped drummers (Neil Peart, Dave Lombardo), and some ugly racially charged comments. By the next day even the OP was calling out how far off-topic it had gotten.

This shit got way off topic and thanks for answering my question guys— waLLa

God damn this thread is too easy. Dead he is not....— Arcade

just admit it, Metal takes more skill than rap.— -Still Life-

My Teacher Said (weed thread)

New guy wants to 'stab' his teacher over an anti-weed lecture — forum immediately calls out the fake gangster act

A brand-new member (joined that same day) vents that his teacher called for life imprisonment for weed users and asks the forum how to change his mind, joking about wanting to stab him. Regulars quickly clock it as a thin excuse to brag about smoking weed, with admin Shifty. calling it out directly, and the thread devolves into joke suggestions (weed brownies, a ticket to Amsterdam) before a more serious member weighs in on addiction. Classic early Fkn0wned off-topic energy: low-stakes teenage venting met with immediate mockery from the established userbase.

This is just an excuse to let us know you smoke weed and to prove your gangster over the interwebz. youfail.org— Shifty.

Bake him some cakes and put some in them, but then tell him after...— sammo

i never said i smoke weed....weed is for people without a life— Industry

Willy Bum Bum

Kimmi drops a cursed video link and half the forum loses faith in humanity

A throwaway thread in General Discussion where longtime smod Kimmi posted a link to the viral 'Willy Bum Bum' video, prompting a cascade of members reacting with laughter, disbelief, and mock horror. It's a classic low-stakes off-topic filler thread, the kind that padded out the forum between the actual cheat/warez talk, with regulars like vermiLLion and Emrys chiming in with one-liners. No drama, just community members bonding over a shared 'what did I just watch' moment.

i just lost all faith in humanity.— Emrys

what the fuck did i just watch?— lulraep

It's not even catchy. I can't understand half of what he is saying then i just hear "willy bum bum bum willy bum bum".— vermiLLion

Whats your favorite internet meme?

A 2009 meme-sharing thread that instantly devolves into 'go fuck yourself newfag' — classic Fkn0wned energy.

A lighthearted General Discussion thread from December 2009 where smod ap3x asks members to share their favorite internet memes, pointing newer users toward KnowYourMeme for inspiration. Replies are short and scattered — a security crew member dismisses memes entirely, a couple of regulars drop meme references and links, and ap3x needles people for not posting actual pictures. Small thread, but a good little time capsule of forum banter and the era's meme culture.

all meme's are shit. go fuck yourself newfag— kasper5150

i love you too kasper... D:— ap3x

POST PICS SCRUBS— ap3x

Unit 731 — "wow, how could you even..."

A random WWII history copypaste spirals into Rape of Nanking trivia and someone's grandpa's medals

User Industry opened a General Discussion thread in December 2007 by pasting a lengthy Wikipedia-style account of Unit 731's human experimentation, reacting with shock. Regulars piled in with a mix of genuine unease, dark humor, and pop-culture comparisons (S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Saw), before the thread pivoted into a similarly grim excerpt about the Rape of Nanking. It closes on a lighter, very forum-typical note with olie22 bragging about his grandfather's WWII medals and Industry joking about '1337 headshot haxs.'

how could you even stand to do this kinda stuff without having nightmares?!!!— Industry

he musta FkN0wned teh japs— olie22

lol, your grandpa had the 1337 headshot haxs hehe— Industry

Know What Your Friends Do (Without Keylogging)

One bored member googled his friends' screen names and found an anime-porn forum, a fake gangster, and a Volvo enthusiast.

A lighthearted 2007 thread on Fkn0wned's General Discussion board where Renegade.MB suggested googling your friends' usernames to see what else they get up to online, sparking replies from members trying it on themselves and their clanmates. Results ranged from mundane (a clan leader asking for car help on Volvo forums) to comically vague (a moderator's name just returning 'black sabbath'), with one member noting his handle alone pulled over a million Google hits. A casual, curiosity-driven time-waster typical of the forum's off-topic culture.

I found that one of them is a member on an anime porn site, one of them is a pretend gangster on some site, beebo.com and another one is on some hentai site.— Renegade.MB

turns out hes on a shit load of volvo forums trying to get help with his car and shit— Legit_Hacks

wow that worked black sabbath came up when i typed in my name..— PaRaNoID

Favorite Porn Star

shwager kicks off an NSFW poll and the whole crew weighs in with picks (and a jab at a mod's 'leaked tape')

A classic off-topic NSFW thread in General Discussion where shwager asked members to name and picture their favorite pornstar. Replies ranged from Sara Jean Underwood and Tori Black to Diamond Kitty and Maria Ozawa, with the usual joking, ratings, and light ribbing. Notably, mod Kimmi got teased by m1sterfopje about being someone's 'favorite,' leading to a running joke about a supposed leaked tape. Pure early-2010s forum culture: casual, crude, and communal.

Tell us your Favorite pornstar and post a picture and tell us why they are your favorite!— shwager

Shhh.. the tape may not leak.— Kimmi

She's the first cute pr0n actress (photo at least) I've ever seen, all of em are ugly lol.— Kimmi

*sigh* Got caught phishing

A regular admits Steam caught him phishing accounts — and the forum immediately debates account digit lengths instead of, you know, the ethics.

Long-time member blacknight00 posts that Steam disabled his accounts after cracking down on phishing, claiming he lost several accounts spread across multiple emails. The thread quickly turns into a mix of casual warnings about account security and a derailing side-argument over whether 9-digit Steam accounts even exist. Staff and regulars (NutterNZ, HaSh, jacal, TuxifieD) chime in with a mix of practical advice and skepticism, typical of the forum's blunt, low-stakes back-and-forth vibe.

Im not sure where the other thread is, but dont phish. I just got my accounts disabled.— blacknight00

Don't put all your accounts on the same email— NutterNZ

Theres no such thing as 9 digit accounts.— HaSh

DCLXVI, You Are THE Shit! (CS:S DirectX Fix Gratitude Thread)

A guy fixes his CS:S crash by switching to DX7 and thanks the helper so hard the thread turns into a homo-erotic roast session.

Member |-noodle-| starts a thread gushing over-the-top thanks to DCLXVI for helping solve a long-running Counter-Strike: Source 'failed to lock vertex buffer' crash, joking he'd offer sexual favors, riches, or alien treasure if he could. Other regulars pile on, ribbing him for the excessive gratitude and homo-erotic jokes, with staff member hunterbrute224 calling out the 'epic ass kissing.' It's a small, lighthearted tech-support-turned-meme thread typical of the forum's off-topic banter, with Olie22 and haha.1 keeping the jabs going.

if i was gay i would suck your dick. if i was a millionaire i would send you a million dollars. if i was a space alien i would share with you my space treasure!— |-noodle-|

LOL At the epic ass kissing in this thread. LOL at the Homo-erotic "jokes"— hunterbrute224

it feels so gr8 to make other ppl happy..— haha.1

Acid Invites Giveaway

A guy hands out invites to a private torrent tracker and half the forum shows up begging in the replies.

A member called TheManly1 offered spare invitations to 'Acid', a private torrent site he vouched for as the best he'd used, and told people to post or PM their email to get one. A steady stream of regulars piled into the thread requesting invites, thanking him, and reporting back once invites landed (often warning it might hit spam folders). It's a small, mundane but very of-its-era slice of forum life: community goodwill, private tracker culture, and a first-come-first-served invite train that ran for about 20 posts before supply started running low.

I have some invites for Acid (it's a private torrent website) best one I have been on, and I have been on many.— TheManly1

EVERYONE HAS BEEN INVITED, CHECK EMAIL OR SPAM INBOX FOR INVITE EMAIL.— TheManly1

I love you.— iamrag

Fkn0wned IRC - Come on guys!

A dying push to get members onto the IRC channel turns into idling debates, a mystery trojan scare, and a bunch of 'won't connect' complaints.

This late-2007 General Discussion thread was a members' rallying call to get people into the Fkn0wned IRC channel, but by page two the energy had fizzled into griping about idling being pointless since nobody was chatting. A stray mention of a 'trojan' briefly derails the conversation with a member offering to send an 'uninstaller,' and the thread closes out with several members simply unable to get their IRC client to connect at all. It's a small, mundane slice of forum life capturing the friction of keeping an IRC community alive alongside the messier, less-secure internet habits of the era.

whats the point of idling..nobody is talking so all im doing is wasting energy...— Industry

what about the trojian how do we get rid of that?— Famousss

hey famouss ill send u a un-installer /hint hint— olie22

New Member Discovers the 'Hidden Content' Reply-to-Unlock System

A fresh noob stumbles on the classic 'hidden content' wall and gets the standard FkN hazing.

A brand-new member, CorruptHawkeyez, posted asking why some pages showed a 'hidden content' image instead of the actual post. Regulars quickly clued him in that replying to threads was the trick to unlocking hidden content, with some good-natured ribbing about not spamming just to reveal posts. It's a classic newbie-orientation thread, small and mundane, but a perfect little time capsule of how forum culture worked at Fkn0wned — reply-to-unlock content, a 1k-post club flex, and a friendly 'Welcome to FkN!' to close it out.

You reply in the thread. say something like ...— Goodapollo

Don't spam the unhide posts though.— sanjuro3456

You could buy your way into the 1k club then you w...— blacknight00

Merry Christmas, Happy Romidon, Decent Quanza and Pleasant Hanukkah

A holiday greeting thread turns into a good-natured pile-on over misspelled holidays.

A Christmas Day 2007 thread where member |-noodle-| posted a cheerful holiday greeting to the forum, deliberately or accidentally garbling 'Ramadan' and 'Kwanzaa' in the title. Regulars quickly piled on, pointing out both the redundancy of yet another Christmas thread and the botched spellings, with some good-humored ribbing back and forth. Co-Manager Shifty stepped in to defend everyone's right to post their own greeting before wishing noodle a Merry Christmas himself. It's a small, warm slice of the community's Christmas Day chatter rather than any major event.

there are already 321334 other threads saying merry christmas..ok?— Industry

GG on the thread... You spelled them all wrong.— hunterbrute224

So what, every is entitled to post one. Merry Christmas noodle.— Shifty

Got any 90's rap/hip-hop?

A noob's rap drought turns into a full-blown 90s hip-hop syllabus, courtesy of the forum's old heads.

Member dubb420 complained that modern rap had turned into 'bubblegum bitch pop-rap' and asked for good 90s hip-hop tracks, explicitly banning Drake, Lil Wayne, and Gucci Mane suggestions. Regulars and higher-ranked members like SNK, Puree, and QuaXz piled on with genuine, sprawling lists of classic artists (Wu-Tang, Nas, Big L, A Tribe Called Quest, and dozens more), turning a small off-topic music thread into a nostalgic crate-digging session. It's a low-key, chill General Discussion thread showing the social/hangout side of the forum outside of the cheats and warez sections.

There's fuckin NOTHING good these days...— dubb420

Biggie Smalls is the best.— shwager

every single person has good songs so i can't post the best ones.— QuaXz

The Definition of "You"

Admin ap3x drops an Encyclopedia Dramatica link and calls the whole board a piece of shit — chaos ensues

A throwaway shitpost thread started by admin ap3x, linking the Encyclopedia Dramatica 'You' page and its classic insult. Regulars piled on with jokes, YouTube links, and playful jabs at each other, with a couple members half-jokingly egging on a 'fight.' Purely low-stakes forum banter typical of the General Discussion section, ending with someone predicting (correctly, in spirit) that the thread would get taken down eventually.

YOU are a fucking piece of shit.— ap3x

lol shits so cash ;D— Nickiller007

i sense a fight.— lulraep

What are you listening to?! (General Discussion)

A dusty 2008 music-check-in thread where half the posters would later get banned or renamed anyway.

A casual 'name your current song' thread from Fkn0wned's General Discussion board, running across at least two pages in early January 2008. Members drop whatever's playing—rap, metal, techno, nu-metal, grunge—with zero drama, just idle chatter typical of an off-topic filler thread. Notable mostly for capturing the site's regular cast (including staff/supervisors and 1000-post veterans) in a mundane, low-stakes moment, and for Nerf's account status visibly flipping from active member to 'Banned' between posts on the same thread.

Just some techno on my MP3 player, as usual.— hunterbrute224

there is a thread called "the now playing thread"...— LoRd Ragealot

Thank jebus Nerf i didnt know anybody else listened to lupe!— dainbramaged

Where the Fuck R U Going for New Years? (NYE 2009 Thread)

Fkn0wned's crew sound off on their NYE 2009 plans — Vegas VIP tables, Florida with the parents, or just staying in with the girlfriend.

A casual New Year's Eve 2009 thread started by NIX asking members what they're doing to celebrate. Replies range from house parties and getting wasted to DJSketch's bragged-about VIP trip to a Las Vegas club, ap3x heading to Florida, inSpired enjoying an Australian summer beach party, and vermiLLion and Kimmi opting for a quiet night in with their partners. Pure low-stakes hangout chatter typical of the General Discussion board, with the usual crude jokes and banter between forum regulars.

Imma go to a party and get drunk as shit n make out with some drunk bitch lulz— NIX

VEGAS BABY!— DJSketch

I'm gonna stay home with my gf and we are going to have a lovely night.— vermiLLion

"HI MATT!" - net send panic thread

A random 'HI MATT!' popup sends a member into a panic — was it a hacker, a RAT, or just a buddy with net send?

A member named abstract1337 panics after a message reading 'HI MATT!' pops up on his screen, prompting a back-and-forth with the mystery sender before he yanks the internet and reboots. Regulars and staff (Goodapollo, laptops, Shifty) chime in with theories ranging from a prank via net send over his open wireless network to an actual RAT (Remote Administration Tool) infection, with advice to get antivirus and change passwords from a clean machine. It's a classic slice of mid-2000s forum tech-support culture — half genuine troubleshooting, half everyone assuming it was just a friend messing with him.

At 2:10 today a text message popped up that said "HI MATT!" ... HOW DID THIS PERSON GET INTO MY COMPUTER AND CAN I FIND OUT WHO DID IT???!!!!!— abstract1337

Yeah that could be, most likely someone that you know? just gankin your chain— Goodapollo

I think.. Someone is using a RAT on you (Remote Administration Tool)... i also suggest you change your passwords, as the guy already has them, or will get them soon.— laptops

CS 1.6, FREE! — the version-history derail

A guy shares a free CS 1.6 download link and the thread turns into a nostalgia trip through CS 1.0 to 1.6

A member posted a link claiming Counter-Strike 1.6 could be downloaded for free (bundled with an old Steam client), sparking a casual back-and-forth about whether it worked online. The conversation quickly drifted into members comparing which CS versions they owned (1.0, 1.3, CZ, CS:S) and debating whether early versions like 1.0-1.6 were 'betas' or just numbered releases, with staff member Arcade and regular bobbafett07 setting the record straight. Mellow, low-drama General Discussion chatter typical of the era — more reminiscing about old LAN days than anything contentious.

I remember playing 1.3 on LANs loooong time ago... ;'D— ZarbonPRO

1.0, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, all betas of Counter-Strike, they just stuck with 1.6. 1.5 is my personal favorite.— Arcade

1.0 to 1.6 weren't Beta's... 1.0 was release— bobbafett07

Where would you go? (dream vacation thread)

Fkn0wned's crew dreams up two months of freedom — France, Vegas hijinks, and a marriage proposal to Kimmi

A casual off-topic thread in General Discussion where Kimmi asks members what they'd do with two months off work or school. Replies range from earnest travel wishlists (USA road trips, Paris, China, Russia, Ibiza, a round-the-world tour) to the usual forum banter and flirting, including running jokes about Kimmi's height and vermiLLion's teasing advances. Nothing dramatic here — just a slow, friendly day in the community swapping travel dreams.

VEGGASSSS AND STEAL A COPCAR AND EVERYTHING THEY DID IN HANGOVER YAAA— deX-

I'd visit Kimmi =]— vermiLLion

Don't have too high expectations, I'm a normal 6.2 feet tall guy. I'm extremely sexy though.— Kimmi

What did you get for Christmas? (Dec 2009)

MacBooks, Uggs, VIP handouts, and a whole lot of 'nothing' — fkn0wned unwraps Christmas 2009 together.

A holiday-season thread started by moderator ap3x on Christmas Eve 2009, asking members what they got (or were hoping to get) for Christmas. Replies ranged from big-ticket gifts like a MacBook Pro and a 24-inch monitor to jokey complaints of getting 'nothing,' with some members getting comped free VIP forum status as a consolation gift. Light, casual holiday chatter typical of the General Discussion board, with some members noting they didn't celebrate Christmas at all.

I gave you VIP :)— ap3x

Won't be getting anything. how sad huh........— DJSketch

I didn't get nothing :( Well it isn't x-mass for me I'm not catholic— NIX

How Many Posts You Got?

Members flexed their post counts across every forum they'd ever haunted — one guy claimed 9,000 across totally different sites.

A casual General Discussion thread where Fkn0wned members compared lifetime post counts across all the forums they'd ever used, not just this one. Regulars like laptops, Shifty, The Moose, and mystical1 traded numbers ranging from around 1,000 to a claimed 9,000+, with some good-natured ribbing over who was spending too much time at the computer. It's a snapshot of the site's internal ranking culture (Warn System, [1K] 1000 Club group tags) and light banter typical of an off-topic filler thread.

wtf @ asshoel.. 13k? wth is wrong with u? lol whole day at comp? ha..— haha.1

About 9000. All completely different sites.— Shifty

Sucks. Probably 1,6k. Maybe more.. hmf..— The Moose

What did you believe in?

Fkn0wned regulars come clean about Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and childhood nonsense.

A light, off-topic General Discussion thread started by Smod Kimmi asking members what silly things they believed as kids. Replies rolled in about Santa/Sinterklaas, the Tooth Fairy, and other childhood myths, plus a couple of goofy personal confessions, keeping the tone casual and jokey. Nothing dramatic — just a comfortable, low-stakes chat typical of the forum's General Discussion section, with several longtime staff and members chiming in.

I told my buddies there were special glasses so you could play 1.6 irl, and they went to supermarkets and asked for them. LOL.— w44s

My mom is the Easter bunny...— vermiLLion

I thought i had a small penis, what a silly child i was!— deX-

Pope Gets 'Pwned' at Christmas Mass - Forum Reacts

Christmas Eve 2009: fkn0wned reacts to Pope Benedict XVI getting tackled at midnight Mass, gamer-slang jokes included.

A short Christmas Eve/Christmas Day 2009 thread in General Discussion reacting to the real-world news that a woman jumped a barrier and knocked down Pope Benedict XVI during a Christmas Eve service. Members riffed on the incident using forum/gaming slang like 'pwned,' 'GODMODE HAX,' and CS knife-humiliation jokes, with some noting the same woman had reportedly done it the previous year too. Light, jokey holiday-season banter rather than any serious debate, with several longtime FkN crew and staff members chiming in.

lulz, she's royally fucked now. They've got their own laws in there.— inSpired

GODMODE HAX OMFG— ap3x

Amazing that the person wouldn't plan something better like a kill or getaway.— vermiLLion

LOL me and kza talking

Founder TuxifieD pastes a rambling MSN chat with KZA about Buddha, diabetes, and nothing at all — pure 2009 forum filler.

Site founder TuxifieD posts a copy-pasted instant-messenger conversation with a member called KZA, mostly rapid-fire 'LOL'/'LMAO' exchanges that spiral into a nonsensical riff on Buddhism and diabetes before dissolving into keyboard mashing. It's a low-effort, goofy off-topic post typical of General Discussion filler threads, shared just for laughs rather than any real subject. One other member, Puree, chimes in briefly. The thread captures the casual, joke-around culture of the board rather than anything about cheats or gaming.

yeah I know we have really long convos that barely get any point across lmao but maybe one of you guys will lawl— TuxifieD

he ate a grain of rice a day or some shit... AND THE NIGGAS FAT... WTFAIL— KZA

THAT NIGGA HAD DIABETES— TuxifieD

IVE DATED MY GF FOR 2 MONTHS!

deX- brags about a two-month relationship and the forum roasts him into oblivion.

A lighthearted General Discussion thread where regular deX- announces he's been dating a girl for two whole months, prompting immediate skepticism and ribbing from the crew. Members demand proof, question the definition of 'dating,' joke that he hacked her Facebook, and compare relationship timelines. Classic low-stakes forum banter with no real drama, just old-school ballbusting camaraderie.

Ive dated my girlfriend for 2 months, and shes not fat, i know right? i r awesome.— deX-

Define girlfriend. And does she know you've been dating?— lam3r

he hacked her facebook— Emrys

Official Funny Shouts Thread

The thread where Fkn0wned's shoutbox one-liners went to live forever

A lighthearted General Discussion staple where members screenshotted funny lines from the site's shoutbox and reposted them for laughs. It ran for about two weeks in July 2011, filled mostly with image links (now dead) and quick banter rather than real substance. Regulars like RandyCandy and OJJ kept it alive with a running gag where a shoutbox screenshot caught OJJ saying something he denied, sparking some good-natured ribbing from other members and a staff member (Emrys) chiming in approvingly.

i never said that you dumbass— [VIP] OJJ

pics or it didnt happen oh wait nvm— d0t1q

hahahahaha i knew this was coming. good work Randy— [FkN] Emrys

Help Me Help You Make Money

One member's 'totally not a scam' referral scheme gets torn apart by the entire thread in real time.

User EuphoricMurder pitches a survey/referral 'make money online' site to fund a new paintball gun, asking others to use his referral link. Fellow members immediately call it out as a scam, with adriandvinsk linking outside sources debunking the site, while others simply refuse to bite. The thread devolves into good-natured mockery, ending with a suggestion to dump it on 4chan instead.

This is a scam just like all of the other sites which say "free money, this is not a scam".— adriandvinsk

cuz we don't want to give you money... easy as 1, 2, 3...— timem604

spam it on 4chan bigguy8 maybe some one will do it— bigguy88

Bitgamer Invite Giveaway

One member's got 8 golden Bitgamer invites to give away — first come, first served, and they vanish in minutes

A quick, friendly giveaway thread from April 2009 where member Cortez7 offers a handful of invite codes to the private tracker Bitgamer, asking interested members to PM their email. The invites go fast, with Cortez7 updating the thread as they run out, and a few regulars drop by to say thanks. It's a small, wholesome slice of the old private-tracker invite culture that was common on forums like this one, capped off with a locked thread once supplies ran dry.

I only have 8 so hurry! :D— Cortez7

They're going like warm pie.. Because everyone likes Warm Pie, don't we guys?— Cortez7

Golden Torrents don't count towards your Download!— Cortez7

Ventrilo Server Back Up

PopTart relaunches the [FkN] Vent server... and almost nobody shows up

A short, mundane December 2009 admin announcement from PopTart letting members know the community's Ventrilo voice server was restored on a new host after provider issues, limited to 20 slots until he could afford more. The thread is a small, quietly funny snapshot of community life: staff banter about how empty the server usually is, with one lone member cheerfully claiming to be sitting in it alone.

about fuckin' time.— ap3x

lmfao there no one in there =/— shwager

yea i know nobody comes :(— PopTart

How do you prevent scammed Steam Accounts being disabled?

linh6496 wants to keep hijacked Steam accounts alive — the forum happily obliges

A December 2009 General Discussion thread where user linh6496 asks how to stop 'scammed' Steam accounts from being disabled, having lost a previous guide. Regulars Joshh, EAGER, Slickz, and OverClocked pile in with registry/cache-clearing and MAC-spoofing tips (the latter crediting a trader named 'xeleration' from Sythe), while JuMx casually notes he never bothered and his account survived five months anyway. An admin, ap3x, offers to close the thread once resolved, and it's marked resolved and closed within the day — a quick, mundane, and telling snapshot of the account-trading/scamming culture that ran through this era of the forum.

delete the user key from your registry.— Joshh

lol, I just login without deleting anything and the account is still avaible, past 5months alrdy— JuMx

ty it is in fact resolved so please close— linh6496

What Would You Buy From fkn0wned?

Members brainstorm fkn0wned merch — from t-shirts to (seriously?) custom PC cases.

A long-running General Discussion thread where staffer TuxifieD floated the idea of fkn0wned producing branded merchandise, asking members what they'd actually buy. Responses ranged from the practical (t-shirts, mouse pads, hats, stickers) to the absurd (custom PC cases, keyboards), with plenty of ribbing over people's picks and a running joke about bumper stickers on cars. A minor squabble broke out late in the thread over whether some suggestions were unrealistic 'kuku land' ideas versus simple novelty items.

put a bumper sticker? on a car? WHAT AN ORIGINAL IDEA!!!— mr.N0Nam3

Dude people saying custom pc cases and shit you are all in kuku land or on same drugs or somthing i think he means novelty items— mad tag

i would buy mousepad posters.— l3m0nz

Graphics Crew: Pink or Red?

The great color debate that decided the GFX Basement's identity — pink won in a landslide.

A lighthearted General Discussion poll asking whether the site's Graphics Crew (GFX Basement) team color should be pink or red. Pink dominated both recorded vote tallies by a wide margin, with members chiming in with jokes and one-liners rather than serious design arguments. A tangential joke thread about the '1K Club' rank (comparing members to Liberace) spilled into the conversation, giving it that classic off-topic, low-stakes forum banter feel.

Yea Purple is so much better, now I just need a updated avater.— DJSketch

For GFX crew I say pink— Futerix

WHENEVER I SEE 1K CLUB NOW I THINK OF LIBERACE, DISCUSS.— mr.N0Nam3

Post Your Favorite Demotivational Posters

A late-2009 image dump where the forum's mods and VIPs just spammed demotivational posters at each other for a while

A lighthearted General Discussion thread from December 2009 where members traded links to old-school 'demotivational poster' image macros, the meme format popular in that era. Started by moderator ap3x, it quickly pulled in other staff and VIP members who piled on with their own finds, including some era-typical crude and un-PC content common to the site's culture at the time. It's a low-stakes, pure-nostalgia thread rather than anything dramatic — just members hanging out and sharing links.

Wow ap3x way to steal my shit— PopTart

keep this shit goinggg— ///xcF

oh lawd...— skramguts

Best MW2 Knife Throw Ever!

A single lucky MW2 knife toss had the whole forum yelling "BULLSHIT" in unison.

A short, low-stakes hype thread from November 2009 where ap3x shared a clip of an unlikely Modern Warfare 2 knife-throw kill, prompting a cascade of disbelieving reactions from regulars. The replies are pure early-MW2-era forum banter — mock outrage, jokes about the victim's reaction, and a few members recalling similar flukes of their own. Nothing controversial, just a quick burst of communal 'no way' energy typical of the General Discussion section back then.

THAT'S BULLSHIT!— ap3x

Pussy. I can throw 600 miles and hit someone.— vermiLLion

How fast can you type the alphabet?

A dumb typing-speed link turns into a full-blown Off-Topic pissing contest, macros and all.

Astrea posts a link to an online alphabet-typing speed test, kicking off a casual Off-Topic contest where members race to post their best times. It quickly escalates from goofy multi-second scores into someone admitting they used a macro to cheese the test, followed by The Moose claiming a suspiciously fast legit time and getting playfully clowned for it by Paws and banak. The thread has that classic bored-forum-kid energy: lighthearted bragging, self-deprecating jokes, and mild flexing about unrelated stuff (grades, muscles, sprint times) thrown in for good measure.

i did it in .400 seconds.. using a macro -cough- .. i did it in 12 seconds manually lol— Paws

I have a sixpack of muscles, located at my stomach area. I have straight A's in the most subjects in school. I run 100 metres in 12,9 seconds, second best in my grade.— The Moose

sure u did moosey— Paws

So I was just chilling at the mall, till some douche bag planted a bomb

A mall bomb scare breaks live in General Discussion while regulars ask for news that hasn't even been written yet.

A thread in General Discussion where a member recounts a bomb scare at a mall, sparking quick back-and-forth about whether it was a real attempt or a false alarm. Regulars like kudi and PopTart chime in asking for more details and news links, with PopTart (an admin) noting the event had just happened within the hour. Jeremy Lin adds an unrelated aside about America being 'fucked up.' It's a snapshot of the forum's casual, real-time chatter culture outside of its usual cheats-and-hacking focus.

More a failed attempt rather than a false alarm, or at least that's what it seems like— NigelStrawberry

It just happened within the hour, doubt there is any news stories yet.— PopTart

America is fucked up.— Jeremy Lin

Share your epic fails

A rider loses his pants in front of the whole crew, then gets called a scammer mid-thread — peak Fkn0wned energy.

A lighthearted General Discussion thread inviting members to share embarrassing personal stories, kicked off by OmfgzATree's tale of a bike mishap that ended with him pantsless in front of friends and girls. The thread quickly took a jab as sto0ka accused OmfgzATree of scamming him in a trade, turning a silly icebreaker into a small callout moment. Typical low-stakes forum banter mixing self-deprecating humor with some drama residue from the trading/marketplace side of the community.

my jeans rip off and I'm riding a bike in my underwear.— OmfgzATree

My epic fail was trading with you a.k.a acammer.— sto0ka

Google Earth Your House

Members shared satellite screenshots of their own homes back when that felt like magic, not a privacy nightmare.

A lighthearted General Discussion thread where members posted Google Earth screenshots of their houses, campuses, and neighborhoods, trading jokes and jabs about what could (or couldn't) be seen from above. It ran to at least three pages, with regulars like twitceh, Marc347, Shifty, and Famousss chiming in. Nothing dramatic here — just a classic mid-2000s forum time-killer thread showing off a then-novel piece of tech.

oh yeh you can see red buses.— twitceh

do cavemen live in your garden?— Shifty

Feels Lonely When U Get Scammed

A scammed member goes looking for the old 'report the guy to the government' site — and gets pointed to PayPal instead

A member named CoryZ posted after getting scammed online (via PayPal), looking for a website previously shared on the forum that supposedly let users report scammers' info to be 'fined' by an official group. Another member pointed him to the real-world IC3 (Internet Crime Complaint Center) site, while a forum Manager, tKeR, gave the more grounded advice to just contact PayPal directly. A short, low-drama thread capturing the era's casual mix of naive scam-reporting folklore and actual practical advice.

I feel lonley :D— CoryZ

Normally calling PayPal works the best.— tKeR

What Year Would You Live In?

Time-travel daydreams from a 2009 forum full of hackers and jokers

A lighthearted General Discussion thread where members picked a hypothetical year or era they'd want to live in and explained why. Answers ranged from nostalgic ('1970, rock n' roll!!') to absurdist jokes about using cheats to dominate historical events like WWI. It's a casual off-topic hangout thread typical of the site's community banter, with site founder Tuxified also chiming in.

I would live in 1970, ROCK N' ROLL!!!!!!!!— OmfgzATree

World war 1. Use my aimbot, wall hack and god mode, own the noobs.— iamrag

A Reintroduction - Old CS 1.6 Coder Resurfaces

A former cheat coder from the original fkn0wned crawls back out of the woodwork in late 2007

A member going by FataLFx, who claimed to have coded Counter-Strike 1.6 cheats back during the very first incarnation of fkn0wned and the original cheat-network, pops back into the forum after finding the site still alive. He muses about picking coding back up for Source instead of 1.6, and notes that hardly any familiar faces remain. A handful of regulars (mr.N0Nam3, sorbazz, waLLa) welcome him back with the kind of dry, jokey greeting typical of the board.

Welcome <back> to hell.— mr.N0Nam3

you joined a year ago? is it that long ago really? anyway welcome back!!!!!1111one— sorbazz

Today's Free Poker Tournament

Fkn0wned's founder ran a free 1v1 Texas Hold'em bracket over Vent, warns for no-shows included

Founder TuxifieD announced a free, no-prize 1-on-1 No Limit Texas Hold'em tournament run through PokerStars, requiring players to be logged into the site's Vent server to talk trash and coordinate matches. Entry was free with a hard registration cutoff, and missing your bracket match meant an actual disciplinary warn on your forum account, showing how seriously small side-events were policed. The thread is short, mostly logistics and one member (Cortez7) asking how to even find the tournament, a very typical low-key 'General Discussion' filler thread from the site's community-events side.

Entry Fee: FREE Prize: None— TuxifieD

And how exactly can I find the tournament?— Cortez7

New Member Asks About the 'Hidden Content' System

The classic newbie question: what the heck is 'hidden content' and why does everyone say 'unhide'?

A brand-new member named kawi44 asks how the forum works, confused by posts showing 'hidden content' and other users replying 'unhide.' Fellow member Dave2007 explains the forum's reply-to-reveal system used to gate content behind posts. It's a short, mundane but charmingly nostalgic exchange capturing the everyday culture of the forum's hidden-content mechanic and how newcomers were guided into it.

for some reason when some one posts content on the forums it always says "hidden content" and every-one all ways says "unhide" what does this mean plz tell im a total newb at this— kawi44

means you cant see whats in the post till you make a post, alot of people say unhide or thanks, put whatever you want in your post then you can see hidden content— Dave2007

Free RapidShare Account Share Thread

Someone posted a shared RapidShare login and half the board showed up just to say thanks

A member named jab2000 posted account details for a shared RapidShare account (a premium file-hosting service popular for downloading warez, cheats, and other files in the late 2000s), noting the password couldn't be changed and giving an expiration date. The thread quickly filled with short replies from members thanking the poster or joking about it being a 'communal Rapidshare.' It's a classic low-effort but well-received freebie thread typical of the era, running at least four pages long.

That's actually useful. So basically a communal Rapidshare? lol— spammingman

Thank you, will be usefull.— iamrag

Points? — what the FkN forum points actually did

Turns out those forum points could once be cashed out for real PayPal money — until the shop mysteriously closed.

A member asks the classic newbie question: what are these forum 'points' actually for, and are they worth anything? Replies explain that points once functioned as a currency tied to a now-closed 'points shop,' where 1000 points reportedly converted to $10 PayPal cash, though nobody seems sure when (or if) it would reopen. It's a small, mundane thread, but a nice time capsule of the site's old economy/reward system and the shrug-emoji uncertainty typical of forum admin follow-through.

basically there was a time where the fkn points shop was open and 1000 points was worth 10$ credited to your paypal. the shop is closed atm but i think it is scheduled to be re-opened soetime— jonneh28

money!— adriandvinsk

What did you get for xmas? (2012)

Christmas 2012 on fkn0wned: presents, Far Cry 3, and one guy bragging about a $300/hr do-nothing job

A lighthearted holiday chat thread in General Discussion where members traded what they got for Christmas 2012. d0t1q jokes about coasting at work while gaming and getting paid handsomely for it, and InfectedKush jokingly begs for a job hookup. Casual, low-stakes banter typical of the forum's off-topic community threads, with signature banners and personal Skype/site links tucked into posts as was common at the time.

I sit on a computer all day doing no work probly playin cs:go or farcry 3 because its xmas and I dont actually have to work so i get paid tomorrow 300$/hr to play farcry— d0t1q

Fk me, get me a job brah! thx— InfectedKush
