The Best of 2007

A year-end 'best of everything' list turns into a Linkin Park pile-on.

A member kicks off a lighthearted year-end tradition, listing his picks for best album, movie, video game, and TV show of 2007, inviting others to add their own categories. The thread quickly becomes a small skirmish over musical taste (Linkin Park catches heat) and a reminder that Call of Duty 4 was the game everyone insisted you had to play. Standard casual chatter for the Off-Topic board, with a couple of staff members chiming in.

LINKIN PARK?!?!? I wouldn't even consider putting Linkin Park in the top 1000.— miLLer

Fkn0wned Userbars

A slow afternoon, a graphics program, and a full set of forum rank userbars nobody asked for

Co-Manager Shifty knocked out a batch of custom userbars for the site — covering ranks and roles like User, 1K Club, Rager, Retired Staff, Coder, GFX Crew, Crew, SMod, Admin, and Head Admin — and shared them for members to grab and slap into their signatures. It's a casual, low-key housekeeping post rather than a big event, with a quick self-deprecating edit admitting the Graphics Crew bar got forgotten and couldn't be fixed since the source file was gone. A nice little snapshot of the site's rank/status culture and its DIY graphics scene.

It's 3pm and I have nothing to do, so I cooked up some userbars ^^— Shifty
OMG I FORGOT GRAPHICS CREW AND I DON'T HAVE THE PSD TO EDIT THEM!! SORRY GUYS— Shifty

"Blackshadow90" — the thread about a weird tag next to someone's name

A new member spots a mystery tag on a user's profile and briefly wonders if fkn0wned secretly had an admin clan.

A newer member (egawge) asks about a tag appearing next to user 'Blackshadow90's name, wondering if it signals membership in some admin clan. Staff and veteran members clarify it was just an automated 'Request Admin Check' flag for a possible spammer, and reiterate a running point of forum lore: fkn0wned was a community, not a clan. The thread drifts into a brief, mellow debate about whether the site should ever form an actual clan, with most leaning toward keeping the looser community vibe.

fkn isn't a clan, it's a community.— sammo
Nah think being a community is better then being a clan. Clans are all strict and rigid and stuff.— [LiP]STicK.

The Funny .gif Thread (56k Warning)

A decade-old dump of dead photobucket and tinypic links — the internet's original meme thread, in fossil form

A lighthearted General Discussion thread started by founder TuxifieD inviting members to post funny gifs to spice up forum replies, with a light rule against gore or low-effort posts. Regulars including Kimmi, f0wh, shwager, and a few newer members chimed in with batches of gifs and images (nearly all links now dead, hosted on old sites like Photobucket, TinyPic, and FunnyJunk). It's a classic slice of early-2010s forum culture — casual, meme-driven, and mildly flirty in the replies, with a small callback joke about Tux 'looking at Kathleen.'

Lets post some funny gifs that can spice up our replies in threads. Dont post shitty ones please.... make sure they are funny. No gore shit.— TuxifieD

Question About Illegal Aliens

A member's late-night 'hypothetical' about hit-and-run laws that only a forum full of teenagers would take seriously

A member calling himself zm0ney posed a bizarre hypothetical about hitting a pedestrian in a border town and whether it counted as a crime, sparking a handful of dark-humored replies from regulars. Old-school Fkn0wned member KZA (aka blaze.) and staffer Panda chimed in, treating the question with the kind of deadpan, edgy joking typical of the site's General Discussion board. It's a small, weird snapshot of the off-topic culture on the forum — shock-value questions tossed out for reaction, taken half-seriously by an audience of CS 1.6 kids.

Can you just leave because the perosn was illegal and shouldnt of been across the border and does this break any laws?— zm0ney
You would still get charged with murder. but it would be really hard to find you.— KZA

Who Made This Site's Skin? Crediting Niggorex for fkn0wned's Design

A member asks where fkn0wned got its slick forum skin — and gets a name-drop that survives to this day.

A regular member asks in General Discussion whether anyone knows good IPB (Invision Power Board) stylesheets, praising the site's design and asking for links. A staff member ('Arcade') replies simply to search Google for IPB templates and credits the site's design to a crew member known as Niggorex. It's a short, mundane housekeeping-style thread rather than drama, but it preserves a small piece of forum lore about who built the site's look.

The Official Vote Thread

Two clicks a day, twelve hours apart — the daily ritual to keep Fkn0wned on top.

A staff-posted call-to-action asking members to vote for the Fkn0wned.com site on external top-site listing services, twice daily, to help the forum regain its ranking. Co-Manager Shifty kicked it off with links and a friendly appeal, and Supervisor Don Ruski chimed in shortly after. It's a small but classic piece of forum-community upkeep from the site's competitive top-sites era.

The Things You Love

One of fkn0wned's cheat-scene regulars pauses the VAC-proof talk to list off his iPhone, guitar, and Coca-Cola.

A light, feel-good off-topic thread in Fkn0wned's General Discussion where members listed the small things that made them happy — this snippet catches page 5 of a long-running list-style thread. Poster 'Archies' rattles off a simple top-8: his face, iPhone, computer, Coca Cola, guitar, music, friends, and family. It's a low-key, wholesome break from the site's usual cheat-database and rage-thread traffic, showing the softer, community side of a forum otherwise known for VAC-proof releases and scripting.

Official Xbox 360 Gamertag Thread

Old-school Fkn0wned members swap Xbox 360 gamertags and flex their MyGamerCard stats.

A General Discussion thread from November 2008 where forum mod Kimmi invites members to post their Xbox 360 gamertags, recommending MyGamerCard.net for generating embeddable gamercard images. It's a simple community bonding thread with a light rule attached: posts without a gamertag get deleted or warned. Smod Afteryou is among the first to reply, capturing the casual, gaming-community feel of the site outside its cheat-database focus.

Describe the Person Above You With a Song

A whole page of members getting musically roasted (or celebrated) by whoever posted next.

A lighthearted forum game thread in General Discussion where members took turns picking a song to 'describe' the poster above them. Typical of the filler/fun threads that kept the community glued together between the cheat releases and drama, it ran long enough to stretch past a single page. No major controversy here, just old-school forum bonding and inside jokes.

Help Me With Motivation (Fitness)

A CS 1.6 regular quits hockey, starts putting on weight, and asks the forum how to get off the couch

User sorbazz opens up about falling out of shape after giving up hockey for school, admitting he barely exercises and wants motivation tips. A handful of regulars chime in with genuine, low-key advice about jogging, gym routines, and finding friends to play sports with, alongside some typical forum ribbing. A minor detour into joke image links caps off the thread, keeping the tone light despite the sincere ask.

Blog Link Gets Called Out as Post-Count Scam

A random blog link drops, and the whole thread agrees it's probably a scam before anyone even clicks it twice.

Pr0wL3r454 shared a link to an obscure blog post about some kind of project, unsure if it was legit or old news, and invited the forum to pick it apart. The regulars piled on almost instantly, calling out the site's gated 'post count to download' gimmick as a red flag and dismissing the whole thing as a low-effort scam or self-promotion attempt. The thread devolves quickly into a few members joking about spamming the blog rather than actually testing the claim, a classic short-lived skepticism thread typical of the forum's off-topic section.

Anti-Thanks Mod Exploit Callout

A noob tried to publicly expose a hide-content bug to an admin — and got clowned by the guy whose profile he called out

A brand-new member (m4ster, only 6 posts) posted a thread trying to point out a supposed exploit that let users view hidden 'thanks-locked' links without actually thanking the poster, name-dropping a specific member's profile as the example. That member turned out to be PaRaNoID himself, a veteran 1000-club poster, who along with staff regular hunterbrute224 and fellow veteran Paws brushed it off as a long-known, harmless quirk rather than a real bug. The thread was quickly marked closed and answered by PaRaNoID, ending in mild mockery of the OP for making a fuss over nothing.

Need The Runescape Phisher Please

A guy just wants a RuneScape phishing tool, gets roasted, gets it anyway

Member paradoxizff posts a bare-bones request looking for a 'Runescape Phisher' tool, admitting he couldn't figure out the setup himself. He gets mocked by iamrag for thinking it would even work, but persists, and fellow member monopoly171 offers to try building one before dropping a link. A classic slice of the era's cheat/scene forum culture — low effort request, some ribbing, a quick fix, thread closed with a nod of approval from OmfgzATree.

Let's play I WANNA BE THE GUY!

A quick, cozy little throwback thread about the infamously brutal indie game that made everyone rage in 2006.

A handful of regulars chime in with fond memories, name-drop a YouTuber known for raging at the game, and reminisce about playing it as kids. No drama, just a small slice of forum small talk.

What mouse do you have?

A whole page of gamers arguing Razer vs Logitech like it's a religion — Fatal1ty stan h4voCK vs. everyone

A casual December 2009 General Discussion thread where members simply listed their gaming mice, sparking a mild brand-loyalty back-and-forth between Razer and Logitech fans. Razer DeathAdders, Lachesis, and Diamondbacks dominate the replies alongside Logitech MX518/G5/G500 owners, with a couple of oddballs mentioning trackpads, Magic Mice, and a 'Dynex' setup. It's a low-stakes, nostalgic slice of forum life — peripherals chat rather than drama, but a fun snapshot of era-appropriate gaming gear.

Possibly the Best Prank Call Ever

deX- shares a prank call clip and the thread immediately splits into 'lol win' vs 'that's just mean'

A quick General Discussion thread from December 2009 where member deX- linked a Break.com prank call video, calling it possibly the best one ever made. The replies were short and split down the middle — some members found it hilarious, while others felt the target of the prank was too poor to be a fair mark for the joke, sparking a brief little moral debate over what makes a prank funny versus cruel. Classic low-stakes forum banter typical of the era.

Want a Free VPN?

j00j07 drops a 'free VPN' email trick — the crew smells sketch immediately

A member named j00j07 shared a method to snag a supposedly free VPN by emailing a promo address and waiting for 'beta acceptance' login details. The regulars, including longtime staff like vermiLLion and ap3x, were instantly suspicious ('Sketchy'), while mod NIX vouched for it as legit and useful for running his checkers, and PopTart chimed in with a screenshot as proof. A pretty ordinary slice of the forum's day-to-day: someone posts a dubious free tool, everyone clowns on it a little, and a mod's word ends up being the final say.

Blowjob Etiquette written by Kimmi

Kimmi drops a copy-pasted 'his vs hers' bit and the boys immediately clown on the punchline she claimed as her own.

A lighthearted, off-topic copypasta thread in General Discussion where forum smod Kimmi posted a tongue-in-cheek 'rules' list contrasting female and male perspectives on the topic. It gets a handful of laughs from regulars, and a small side-bit of banter breaks out when a member catches Kimmi taking credit for a line that turned out to be borrowed/inspired by another member's forum signature. Purely a joke/humor post typical of the forum's off-topic culture, not cheat- or gaming-related despite the site's focus.

Hilarious Legal Stuff

A MoparScape kid got a legal threat from Jagex and clowned them right back — Fkn0wned rejoiced

A short thread from December 2009 where user Cl1nt0n shares a link to a story about a MoparScape (private RuneScape server) fan who got threatened with a lawsuit by Jagex and publicly called them out instead of backing down. The regulars pile on with anti-Jagex mockery, comparing it to The Pirate Bay's legal battles and roasting RuneScape's playerbase and revenue model. It's a quick, low-effort but characteristic slice of the forum's General Discussion vibe — snarky, dismissive of corporate legal threats, and full of inside jabs at other games/companies.

Trick or Treat! (Page 2) — Halloween 2009 plans thread

Vodka, weed, paintballing trick-or-treaters, and a mini morality war — all in one 2009 Halloween thread.

A casual General Discussion thread where members shared their Halloween 2009 plans, ranging from drinking and getting high to trick-or-treating or just hanging out with girls. It briefly derailed into a heated back-and-forth after someone mentioned shooting paintballs at trick-or-treaters, with other members calling it out as cruel, plus a few members noting Halloween isn't celebrated in their countries (Belgium, Serbia). Lighthearted, typical off-topic forum banter with some casual old-forum-era slurs and edgy humor mixed in.

Member Paws shares the specs of a newly ordered gaming PC built around an ABIT Fatal1ty motherboard, Core 2 Duo E6750, and an XFX 8800GT with SLI expansion planned later. The thread quickly turns into some light ribbing and a derailment over what 'kr' actually means and how much the build cost in euros/dollars, with a couple of members chiming in about their own aging PCs. Classic small-talk General Discussion fare from December 2007, low-stakes and friendly.

Regulars chimed in with actual suggestions — Kool Savas and Hirntot Records got early nods, then kandidose pitched K.I.Z. as funnier and more ironic, sparking a small back-and-forth about which artist was better. Nothing dramatic, just a casual music-chat thread typical of the forum's downtime banter between the cheat/gaming talk.

Alternative Ways to Get High

A brand-new member's terrible idea for a thread somehow got staff replies too.

A newly registered member, fresh off getting caught trying an infamous marijuana-growing thread, proposed a thread crowdsourcing legal or household ways to get high. Staff and older members chimed in half-jokingly, tossing out household-item suggestions and dismissing them as impractical, with someone else derailing into nutmeg. It's a classic mid-2000s off-topic forum thread: a bad idea proposed earnestly by a noob, met with dry sarcasm from regulars and staff rather than any real guidance.

Bio-Hacks: A Member Asks What Happened to the Site

A member noticed something weird on the site — and got quietly pointed somewhere else

A short, low-key thread in General Discussion where a member named 'x3.' asked what had happened to the site after seeing some kind of message pop up, framing it half-jokingly as a warning that an 'attack' would backfire on the staff. Forum regular Goodapollo, a well-known [1K] 1000 Club member, brushed it off and redirected the poster to another thread for the real explanation. The exchange wraps up quickly and cordially, with x3. thanking him for the pointer — a tiny, mundane slice of forum life rather than any real drama.

looking for css hack coder [good]

New guy waltzes into the hack forum and tries to recruit its own coders for his side project — chaos ensues.

A low-post-count member posted looking for a coder to build CSS (Counter-Strike: Source) hacks for a private domain he and a friend were setting up, offering contact via PM, Xfire, and Steam. Regulars quickly mocked the request, pointing out the irony of recruiting coders on a forum built around hack distribution, with jabs about paying for coders, cracked/torrented tools, and sarcastic offers to 'code for free'. Staff and veteran members piled on with jokes rather than taking the request seriously, and it ended as a lightly ridiculed, going-nowhere recruitment attempt.

Just a Drawing I Made in School

A bored kid's doodle of the Fkn0wned logo gets gently roasted by the forum regulars.

A low-key General Discussion thread where a member shared a school doodle related to the site, and other regulars weighed in with mixed, mostly unimpressed reactions. It drifts into typical off-topic banter, including a tangent about a Halloween mishap involving egging houses and falling through a window. Nothing dramatic — just a slice of everyday forum small talk between members like Sammo and The Moose critiquing art and joking around.

Member jorskobe posts in General Discussion asking why a red hair dye kit isn't working on his naturally dark black hair, and how to dye it at home without going to a salon. The thread quickly turns into good-natured mockery, with members suggesting markers, spray dye, or just going to a barber, and a staff member ('miLLer') razzing him for wanting to dye his hair red at all.

Ping! - troubleshooting a laggy Virgin connection

A guy's ping was through the roof, and the whole forum showed up to diagnose his router, his wireless, and possibly his sanity.

Member Nutt asked for help with high ping and sluggish internet despite decent download speeds on his UK Virgin Media connection. A string of regulars chimed in troubleshooting the usual suspects — wireless signal strength, router congestion, GPU (ruled out), and firmware — with speedtest.net screenshots posted as evidence. It's a classic mundane tech-support thread livened up by a cheeky mod, a joking troll reply, and a random derail at the end where someone brings up an unrelated fishing minigame called 'Pong!'.

The Ke$ha "Nude" Pic Thread

A linked pic, twenty verdicts, and universal agreement: not impressed.

A user posted a supposedly leaked nude photo of pop singer Ke$ha in General Discussion, and the thread devolved into a pile-on of members roasting the picture and the celebrity herself rather than actually caring about the leak. Regulars showed up mainly to declare the photo old news, fake, or unflattering, with one member flatly noting it wasn't even a nude at all.

CSGO Boosting

Mystik wanted a rank boost from MGE to LEM — and got roasted for it instead

A member named Mystik asked in General Discussion for someone to boost his CS:GO rank on his old, sentimentally valuable account, offering a reward, since he didn't want to risk hacking on it himself. The owner pointed him toward the marketplace for boosting services, but VIP member Venomz1337 pushed back, questioning why he'd want an undeserved rank and mocking his claim that his 'real skill' was above LEM. A GFX manager chimed in with a lighthearted jab about bad teammates, and the thread fizzled out with a stray 'test reply' from the owner months later.

Is This CD Key Site Trustable?

Member asks if a sketchy MW2 key site is legit — spoiler: the admins say scam.

Speedo asked fellow members whether a third-party site selling a Modern Warfare 2 CD key was trustworthy, since it required a username/password to purchase. Other members quickly pushed back, warning about handing over Steam credentials and pointing out the price seemed off compared to forum deals. Staff members including admin ap3x and smod PopTart weighed in firmly calling it a scam, and by the end of the thread the site itself appeared to have gone down (404), reinforcing everyone's suspicions.

Favourite ever (song thread)

Old fkn0wned crew drop their all-time favourite tracks — Prodigy, Avenged Sevenfold, and a lot of genre-hopping indecision

A casual off-topic thread from April 2009 in the General Discussion board, started by jonneh28 asking members to name their favourite ever song. Replies ranged across DnB, hip-hop, Avenged Sevenfold, Prodigy, and Pet Shop Boys, with most people admitting they couldn't pick just one. Nothing dramatic here — just a laid-back music chat typical of the forum's downtime banter between the gaming and cheat-scene talk.

Damn that one is hella tough Don't think i have one favorite song :\ listen to too many bands and it changes constantly..— lam3r

Fist Pumping Baby

A random viral baby video becomes low-stakes forum comedy gold, complete with a Kimmi prophecy about the kid growing up skinhead.

Kasper5150 posts a silly viral clip of a baby fist-pumping in a car seat, and the thread turns into quick throwaway banter typical of General Discussion filler threads. A few regulars point out they'd already seen it circulating elsewhere (referenced as 'RWJ'), and long-time member Kimmi jokes the baby is destined to grow up into some kind of extremist type, prompting mild pushback and laughs. Nothing deep here — just a snapshot of the community's casual, joke-heavy rapport between well-known crew and staff members.

That baby's cute, wow. Wanna bet it's going to be some faggot (harc0re, skinhead, racist, everythin') later. :p— Kimmi

so I'm definitely browsing fkn... ON MY NEW IPOD TOUCH!!!!

Late-2007 members brag about their brand new iPod Touches, Zunes 'won' by cheating on Xbox Live, and a used PSP that can't call people.

A late-2007 General Discussion thread where members show off new gadgets, mainly the freshly-released iPod Touch, comparing storage sizes, dead pixels, and glitchy synced songs. One poster casually mentions owning six Zunes obtained through cheating on Xbox Live, treating them as spare hard drives rather than music players. The tone is casual off-topic banter typical of the era, with some griping about warranty issues and a stray reference to a 'fuck double post' quote from another member.

I have 6 zunes, got them by cheating club live...............they are awesome...i use most of em as external hard drives— LoG1c

Rar Password

SpaZy wanted a password handed to him, got roasted by staff and regulars instead

A short-lived December 2009 thread where member SpaZy asked for help getting into a password-protected RAR file, dodging suggestions to just brute-force it himself. Staff (ap3x, vermiLLion) called out SpaZy's history of low-effort spam posts and warned him about warnings/bans, while another member cheekily revealed the password reference was tied to 'Isabella Valentine.' The thread ends with a regular member declaring the whole thing spam, and it was locked shortly after.

Maybe if you weren't such a spammer and actually read through the rules once or twice, we might have put a sec team member on this.— ap3x

Would You Tap...Her, Her, Her or Her? (Season 2)

Elisha Cuthbert vs. Adriana Lima vs. Jessica Alba vs. Lexi Belle — the poll thread that split the forum's guys down the middle.

A lighthearted General Discussion poll thread from April 2009 asking members to pick their favorite among four celebrities/models: Elisha Cuthbert, Adriana Lima, Jessica Alba, and Lexi Belle. It's a classic 'hot or not' style time-waster thread, part of a recurring 'Season' series on the board, with members casually voting and bantering. Elisha Cuthbert ran away with the poll, and one member called out the whole exercise as pointless since 'you guys would take any pussy offered to you.'

Check Out My Cool Poison Ivy Bubble

A guy posts a photo of his poison ivy blister and the forum takes it exactly nowhere good.

A member named QuaXz posted an image-shack link to a photo of a poison ivy blister on his wrist, and the thread devolved into the usual off-topic pile-on: jokes about popping it, monitor jabs, gross-out humor, and a couple of staff/mods weighing in with mock concern. It's a pure time-waster thread typical of the General Discussion board rather than anything about gaming or cheats, capturing the casual, juvenile, and slightly gross humor of the community's downtime chatter.

What Type of Porn Do U Fap To?

The classic off-topic forum icebreaker nobody could resist answering.

A lighthearted, juvenile off-topic thread in General Discussion where NIX asked members to share their porn preferences, and the community obliged with a mix of jokes, deflections, and mild flirting with drama. Regulars traded quips about girlfriends, shemale porn confessions, and a brief spat between Kimmi and Suiseiseki over age and maturity. Pure filler banter typical of a gaming forum's off-topic corner, with the usual cast of crew members and VIPs chiming in.

Does Your ISP Offer Sex (Comcast Speed Boost Hype Thread)

Comcast did some upgrades and one staffer basically proposed marriage to his new download speeds.

A quick, goofy November 2007 thread in General Discussion where staff member hunterbrute224 excitedly posted a string of speedtest.net screenshots after Comcast upgraded infrastructure in his area, declaring the results 'insanely epic' before signing off for a week-long vacation. A handful of regulars piled on with jokes about stealing his bandwidth and jealousy over their own slower connections. Nothing deep here — just a snapshot of everyday forum banter and the era's obsession with speedtest bragging rights.

Remote-upload Rapidshare Trouble

sammo can't get RapidShare remote-upload to work, and the thread mostly just roasts him for it

A member named sammo asks for help with RapidShare's remote-upload feature, which kept telling him the URL was invalid despite pasting working links from warez-bb. Fellow members poke fun at his troubleshooting attempts and question whose premium account he was even using, while staffer Don Ruski (Peski) gets called out by name and jokingly plays along. A pretty ordinary tech-support gripe thread that turns into some light ribbing, typical of the forum's off-topic banter.

PORTAL 2 :) — hype thread from June 2010

A Portal 2 trailer drops and the fkn0wned crew immediately turns it into a Valve grudge session.

A short General Discussion thread from June 2010 where user lulraep shares Portal 2 trailer links, hyping the game's visuals and jokingly referencing the 'cake' meme. The replies quickly veer into Source engine complaints, with members accusing Valve of using Portal 2 as an excuse to dodge making a proper new Counter-Strike title. A handful of regulars weigh in with typical era-appropriate cynicism and profanity-laced Valve hate before the thread fizzles out after four posts.

The Most Epic Moment of SpongeBob Ever

An admin's off-hand SpongeBob clip turns into a low-key crew roast session

A throwaway thread started by admin ap3x sharing a SpongeBob video clip he claims his mom tells him about every night, which quickly devolves into a handful of members reacting with 'epic lulz' and one crew member (f0wh) accusing others of posting 'private videos' of him without approval. It's a classic filler thread from General Discussion — no drama beyond some light ribbing, just members hanging out and riffing on a silly cartoon moment.

Metal/Hardcore/Grindcore music thread

Fkn0wned's cheaters and coders drop the keyboards for a second to argue about black metal vs. hardcore breakdowns.

A General Discussion thread from January 2008 where a coder ('Gate Guardian') asks who on the forum is into metal, hardcore, and grindcore. Members swap band recommendations across black/death/power metal and metalcore/hardcore punk scenes, with a running side-conversation between Goodapollo and Industry comparing hardcore band favorites (Have Heart, Set Your Goals, Bracewar, Ceremony). Lighthearted, casual off-topic banter typical of the site's social side, a break from its main cheat/coding focus.

Epic Car

Zanderdanmark posts a 'cool' car pic from Sweden — the whole thread just calls it Photoshopped

A short, low-stakes General Discussion thread where member zanderdanmark shared a photo of a car taken in Sweden, only for the regulars to immediately pile on claiming it was faked in MS Paint or Photoshop, pointing to inconsistencies like clean white text over a supposedly dusty car. Classic fkn0wned banter followed: insults, 'fake and gay' callouts, a Shopped meme image, and general dismissiveness typical of the era's forum culture. No real drama beyond friendly ribbing, but it's a nice little snapshot of the community's day-to-day tone.

Hi all! - killalol's Welcome Thread

A new member says hi, and half the forum shows up just to point him at the thread he missed.

A brand-new member, killalol, drops a quick self-intro on the General Discussion board back in November 2007, mentioning he'd been 'hacking for awhile on alot of games.' The regulars pile in with the usual welcome-wagon routine — good wishes, a nudge to read the rules, a redirect to the proper introduction thread he'd missed, and a bit of light ribbing about a suspicious link fatsanta dropped. Nothing dramatic, just a small, friendly snapshot of everyday forum life and community etiquette on Fkn0wned.

Fucking hotdogs.

deX- posts a video, forum spends eleven replies arguing over hotdog counts and Whitest Kids U Know clips.

A classic low-effort, high-nostalgia General Discussion thread from May 2010 where regular deX- dropped what was almost certainly a Whitest Kids U Know (WKUK) sketch clip titled after hotdogs. The replies spiral into inside jokes about daily hotdog consumption (7, then 14), a shoutout comparing it to fellow member Timmmyy's lifestyle, and a mild pile-on of '+1 I love WKUK' agreement. Peak filler-thread energy — nothing deep, just regulars killing time and riffing together.

Last Thing You Bought

Energy drinks, McKroketten, White Widow, and a beer feud — the fkn0wned crew airs their receipts.

A lighthearted General Discussion thread from December 2009 where members simply listed the most recent thing they'd purchased, ranging from snacks and fast food to Christmas presents, an iTouch, and more herbal purchases. It's mundane small talk that captures the casual, off-topic side of the forum away from the cheat/hacking scene it was known for. A brief spat broke out between deX- and Mystik over beer preferences, prompting a mod warning from Kimmi, but otherwise it stayed friendly banter.
