Steam Group-Joining 'Phish' Method Stops Working

A member's Steam group-joining 'phishing' trick suddenly stops working — cue troubleshooting and a guide-writer's wounded pride.

A user reports that a community/group-joining technique he'd been using (linked to another thread's 'method') stopped functioning correctly after repeated use, with joined groups failing to appear on his friends list. Other members chime in with troubleshooting suggestions like restarting Steam or adding a friend first, while the original guide's author shows up a bit defensive that someone was using his method before crediting him. It's a low-stakes, everyday technical-support thread typical of the site's Off-Topic/General Discussion board, showing the casual cheat-adjacent tinkering culture of the forum.

Awww someone likes my guide <3. There's no limit on how many groups you can join or leave. Least not for me.— bobbafett07

Lolz, twas using it before u posted my friend. Its an awsome method though.— blacknight00

try adding someone before you join a group 8)— thesource

Post Your Sexy/Erotic Googlised Pics

The one where a bunch of teenage forum regulars competed to find 'Google Boobs' memes before mods pulled the plug

A goofy 2007 thread in the General Discussion section where members posted the era's viral 'Google boobs' image-search meme images back and forth, riffing on each other's finds. It's low-effort, off-topic fun typical of a mid-2000s gaming forum's off-topic board, mostly just posting pics with one-line reactions. A couple of posters in the thread ended up banned, and one post was scrubbed by staff ('Removed'), hinting at the loose moderation and eventual crackdowns common on Fkn0wned's Off-Topic section.

Arghhhhhh *B0N3R*— laptops

That just smells of google.— bobbafett07

Lol, nice one asshoel— olie22

2 Former Federal Agents Charged Over Silk Road Bitcoin Theft

Owner TuxifieD drops a CNN news repost about crooked DEA and Secret Service agents skimming Bitcoin off the Silk Road bust — thread agrees: cops are corrupt, lol.

Forum owner TuxifieD posted a CNN news article about Carl Force (DEA) and Shaun Bridges (Secret Service), two federal agents charged with wire fraud and money laundering for stealing Bitcoin during the Silk Road investigation that took down Ross Ulbricht. The thread is a short news-sharing discussion rather than a debate, with a handful of members chiming in with cynical one-liners about corrupt cops and a Wired link for more detail. Low engagement but a good time-capsule snapshot of how the community reacted to Silk Road/Bitcoin news in real time back in 2015.

Bitcoins are so stupid i hope they die out eventually— NigelStrawberry

LOL all cops are corrupt... didnt know that they tried to steal during sr bust.— NoTolerance

guy was pretty fucking corrupt lol— TuxifieD

Hottest Girls Thread

A four-page 2010 free-for-all where hidden image links, one-word replies, and a Katt Williams defense of fake tits collided in classic forum chaos.

This is page 2 of a long-running General Discussion thread where members posted (and hid, image-host-style) photos of attractive women and reacted with quick one-liners, emoticons, and jokes. A minor spat broke out over criticism of a posted woman's scars, which TuxifieD defended with an oddly passionate Katt Williams reference, drawing pushback and mockery from other members. Most of the page is filler replies ('unhide', 'lol', ':D', 'tits?') typical of image-bait threads, plus a running gag about dead imageshack links and fake vs natural results getting posts removed.

You guys are exactly what Katt Williams talks about when he says "bitch ass niggas"— TuxifieD

That's what you get with fake titties. If you uploaded a hot girl with natural titties, webmasters would be fappin'.— Kimmi

thanks shwager you killed the thread.— QuaXz

HOLY SHIT 30 MILLER LOL: Steam ID Digit-Trading Banter

A screenshot of a big number in GMod turns into a full lecture on Steam ID digit-trading etiquette.

Admin ap3x posted a screenshot from Gmod showing a Steam ID with an unusually high number ('30 million'), sparking a small back-and-forth about whether high or low Steam ID digits were rare or valuable at the time. Several members misunderstood the point, prompting ap3x to explain the concept of milestone/low-digit Steam accounts, while others just joked that it wasn't a big deal. A low-key, mildly nerdy thread typical of the forum's off-topic banter rather than any real drama.

So... I was playing GMod today (a manly man's game) and... well.... this:— ap3x

I cant wait to have the first nine digit— TuxifieD

Its like a 100 milestone or like 3000 its like youre the 3000th one now go get a cookie.— Unbeliveable

Good Metal Bands

One guy asks for metal without the 'death/black metal shit' and the whole thread just recommends death/black metal shit anyway

A casual music thread in General Discussion where PaRaNoID asked for metal band recommendations, specifically ruling out death/black metal. Regulars chimed in with picks like Metallica, Parkway Drive, As Blood Runs Black, and I Killed the Prom Queen, plus the obligatory joke suggestion of Nickelback and 50 Cent. Low-stakes, friendly off-topic chatter typical of the board's music threads, with a mix of staff and long-time members (1K Club, GFX staff) weighing in.

can anyone suggest any good metal bands none of that crap death/black metal shit— PaRaNoID

Akon, Sean Kingston, 50 Cent lol joking. ummm, nickelback metal?— sammo

There not death/black metal shit there genre is Metal dont believe me check there album cover— jcomp6

What are your Halloween plans? (2007)

Pig cop masks, stingy candy plans, and a dude stuck working Halloween — Fkn0wned gets spooky season vibes.

A light, throwaway Off-Topic thread from October 2007 where members casually shared their Halloween plans. Answers ranged from cheap costume improvisation to flat-out refusing to hand out candy, with the usual forum banter and ribbing following each reply. Nothing dramatic — just a snapshot of everyday small talk on the board during its General Discussion section.

I plan to go to a Halloween party wearing a mask that is a pig cop, only because thats the only kind of mask I have around my house.— Battles

I plan to ignore every knock on my door because I haven't bought any candies— waLLa

Jump out and scare the shit out of them, THEN dont give them candy— Legit_Hacks

Can VAC Ban You for Scripting?

A one-line question from 2006 that four members answered in under 30 words total.

A brief, low-key thread from September 2006 where user PawNeD asked whether Valve Anti-Cheat could ban players for using scripts in Counter-Strike: Source. Three replies came in, all agreeing scripting was generally safe since it was considered part of the game's built-in functionality rather than a bannable hack. Nothing dramatic here, just a quick community Q&A snapshot of the era's casual attitude toward scripting versus outright cheating.

no cause scripting is part of css its just we hackers found more shit to do with scripts like bunnyhop or any script on a hackwebsite you can use never get banned— MisFiTs666

No— c0ke

If Fkn0wned Had an iPod....

Two forum vets riff on what a Fkn0wned-branded iPod's playlist would sound like

A light off-topic thread in General Discussion imagining the site having its own iPod, likely with members listing bands or songs that would soundtrack it. This snippet catches the tail end (page 2) of the conversation, featuring posts from staff member Industry and GFX staffer Blaqk, both long-tenured members with high post counts. It's a low-stakes, community-bonding kind of thread typical of the forum's off-topic culture rather than anything dramatic.

Some call it noise, I call it addiction.— Blaqk

Kids Like Us- Meet Me at the Swingset / Set Your Goals- An Old Book Misread / The Devil Wears Prada- Swords, Dragons, and Deit Coke— Industry

Pheroline: Spray-On Pheromones, Real or Scam?

A 2008 thread asking the internet's most trusted authority — a CS 1.6 forum — whether pheromone spray actually works

User aznfirez floats the idea of buying 'Pheroline,' a spray-on pheromone product, half-joking about wanting an easy shortcut to attracting people. A couple of members chime in with mild amusement, including zm0ney noticing a testimonial supposedly from someone in his own hometown, which gets flagged as funny/suspicious. A tiny, low-effort but charmingly random slice of early 2000s internet snake-oil skepticism.

lmao i would buy it.— KZA

"I used to have a problem getting dates. Thanks to Pheroline, now my only problem is scheduling." - Rob, Rochester, NY Haha That was one of the testomonials and i live in rochester— zm0ney

How not to get your ass kicked by the police!

NIX drops a Chris Rock clip and the thread turns into a one-liner appreciation society

A quick, low-effort General Discussion post from NIX sharing an old YouTube clip of Chris Rock's famous 'how not to get your ass kicked by the police' bit. The replies are short and jokey, with regulars and staff (Kimmi, ap3x, marz, lulraep, shwager) chiming in with quips rather than debate. It's a snapshot of the forum's casual, meme-sharing side rather than any drama or scene business.

Chris Rock is the definition of awesome when you search for it in the dictionary.— Kimmi

Get a white friend.— ap3x

Is it snowing?

A casual weather chit-chat thread that somehow got the whole globe reporting in — Germany, Australia, Sweden, and more.

A lighthearted small-talk thread in the General Discussion section where members compared weather conditions in their home countries around Christmas 2007. Don Ruski kicked it off complaining about weak German snowfall and his plans to head to Russia for 'proper' snow, and other members from Australia, Sweden, and elsewhere chimed in with their own local conditions. Nothing dramatic — just a snapshot of the community's off-topic, everyday banter with staff and regulars mixing in.

FUCK NO!!!! Australia is around 38 degrees celcius in other words FUCKING HOT!!— Olie22

Already been snowing in Sweden for like three days straight in like early December. But it ain't snowing when it's supposed to.— The Moose

The Shit Hit the Fan... (Janza's Motherboard Meltdown)

Reformat gone wrong: a supervisor's gaming rig gets bricked and Dell won't help.

Forum supervisor Janza posts about a reformat that spiraled into a dead motherboard, discovered only after a Dell support chat. The complication: his warranty covers his family PC, not the gaming rig that actually broke, leaving him stuck trying to find a cheap replacement motherboard to limp along until his warranty situation improves. It's a classic off-topic tech-support-slash-venting thread, with staff member Industry chiming in early. Low drama, high relatability — the kind of everyday hardware crisis thread that filled the General Discussion board.

Not good. Did a reformat the other day, and I had to reinstall all my shit— Janza

they blatantly said that my Mobo has been buttfucked and I need a new one— Janza

Teach Me Please: The Great Multi-Part Download Confusion of 2007

One guy just wanted to know why his warez download was in 40 pieces — chaos ensued.

A newer member asked for basic help downloading multi-part files off warez sites, unsure why partial downloads wouldn't open. Fellow members chimed in suggesting a download manager, with a Supervisor (Janza) offering troubleshooting tips for dead links and a nudge toward premium hosting accounts. A low-stakes, helpful exchange typical of the forum's tech-support corners, ending without real resolution on WillowZ's corrupted downloads.

Flash get i think its called but there are others. i even googled for you— Trained Noob

And how do you work this? I Just Tried to use it and it download the files each of em being 5.6kb and Currpt'd— WillowZ

Summer Music Playlist Thread

In July 2011, cheat-scene regulars put down the aimbots for five minutes to argue about summer jams.

A casual off-topic thread in General Discussion where member d0t1q kicks off a summer mix (Foster the People, Phantogram) and asks for chill, upbeat, non-dubstep suggestions for backyard hangouts. A handful of regulars and VIPs pile in with their own picks, ranging from Sublime and Edward Sharpe to Sak Noel's 'Loca People' and David Guetta tracks, with a bit of good-natured correcting of song titles. It's a low-stakes, friendly slice-of-life thread showing the human side of a forum otherwise built around game cheats and warez.

im looking for upbeat songs any will do kinda top 40 shit but not top 40— d0t1q

You mean: Sak Noel - Loca People (What the fuck)— [FkN] trs

What's the Most Illegal Thing You've Done?

Confession booth: forum's toughest criminals admit to... graffiti and pirated downloads.

A lighthearted General Discussion confessional thread where members were dared to share the most illegal thing they'd ever done. Thread starter OmfgzATree kicked things off with a tame admission of school graffiti, and early replies stayed similarly low-stakes, like illegal downloading. It's the kind of harmless bravado-bait thread common on gaming forums of the era, more about laughs and one-upping than any real wrongdoing.

The most illegal thing I've done is graffiti on the school wall LOL— OmfgzATree

Dam hardcore. Lol im a goodboy so its mostly like illegal downloading for me=]— cfman

Would You Tap... Her, Her, Her or Her? (The Hills / Reality TV Poll)

Heidi, Lauren, Kristin or Kim — the Hills-era thirst poll that split the forum 45 votes deep.

A General Discussion poll thread from April 2009 asking members to rank/pick which reality-TV women (Heidi Montag, Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari, Kim Kardashian, and Real World's Jenn Grijalva) they'd choose, tied to a 'Season 3' theme. It's a classic low-stakes off-topic time-waster typical of the era, loaded with hotlinked celeb photos and quick one-line replies ranking the options. Kristin Cavallari and Heidi Montag led the poll, with Kim Kardashian getting a shoutout for actually being a grown woman rather than a reality-show teen.

Kim, cause thats a women.— KZA

Eat flowers bitch!— Puree

IM BACK!! (page 2)

A dramatic 'I'm back' announcement thread turns into a pile-on over a months-old bump.

This is the tail end of a General Discussion thread where a returning member's 'I'm back!!' announcement got called out as attention-seeking for reviving an old topic. Sammo and Paws pile on the original poster ('The Blue'), with some light mockery over word-count in the back-and-forth. Pretty low-stakes forum drama, typical of the era's off-topic bickering.

This guy's a prick he bumps his old topic from months ago the attention seeking wanker.— Sammo

@ The Blue, while he used like 4 words to diss u, you used like a whole paragraph of junk.— Paws

Hellgate: London, who's getting it?

Old-school forum hype for the Diablo 2 devs' MMO nobody quite had the cash for

A short General Discussion thread from the Fkn0wned.Com forums where a member hypes up the upcoming MMO Hellgate: London, noting it was made by former Diablo 2 developers and inviting others to add him on Xfire to play together at launch. Another member expresses interest but admits money might be an issue, and a staff moderator drops in shortly after. A small, casual slice of the site's gaming-chatter culture from back when Xfire handles were still how people linked up to play.

I am, the game looks badass.— Eckos

my financial situation might impede my acuasition of the game.— ttocszed

Bat to Exe Tool Request

A quick tool request closed out in under two hours flat — solved for jesus.

A short, mundane General Discussion thread on Fkn0wned.com where a member named CratycloS asked for a link to a tool that converts .bat files into .exe files, recalling having seen it posted somewhere on the site before. Fellow member hunterbrute224 quickly replied, recalling he'd released the tool himself years earlier bundled with an icon pack, and dug up the old filefront links (even noting it was sitting in his own forum signature the whole time). A moderator closed the thread almost immediately with the classic tagline 'solved for jesus,' typical of how fast small requests got resolved on this board.

Yeah I released it with a pack of Icons. It got lost in history LOL, Ill get you the link though.— hunterbrute224

solved for jesus— mr.N0Nam3

Vent Information!

Staff drop the official Fkn0wned Ventrilo server details — then quietly side-eye someone bragging about a rival private vent

A short, purely administrative thread from December 2009 where forum smod SNK posted the official connection details for the community's Ventrilo voice server, offering staff help to anyone having trouble connecting. Fellow smod ap3x chipped in a beginner's setup tutorial link. The most notable moment is a little aside where member JUSTiiNCREDiiBLE admits the official vent was usually empty and that he'd been hanging out on a separate 100-slot private vent with other fkn0wned people instead, prompting ap3x to pointedly ask whose server that actually was.

So now i just chill with people from fkn on some 100 slot private vent server xD— JUSTiiNCREDiiBLE

And whose vent might that be?— ap3x

General Discussion Rules

The rules post every regular skipped past on the way to actually causing trouble

A pinned staff post from Smod Skippy laying out the ground rules for the General Discussion board on Fkn0wned.com — basic etiquette about not flaming, not spamming random threads, respecting staff, avoiding referral/free-stuff links, and using thread icons properly. It's the standard housekeeping post every forum needed, sitting alongside site-wide banners for a 'SOTW' screenshot-of-the-week contest and a Ventrilo server. Nothing dramatic here, just the quiet scaffolding that kept the board running.

Don't post referral links, links to "free game consoles, Ipods, domains etc."— Skippy

Does this belong here?— Skippy

Happy Thanksgiving! (2007)

Fkn0wned pauses the raging just long enough to say happy turkey day

A short, casual holiday thread from November 2007 where members of the Fkn0wned.com forum wished each other a Happy Thanksgiving. Posts are brief and lighthearted, featuring a couple of turkey/pie meme images and quick one-liners rather than any real discussion. It's a small, wholesome snapshot of the community's off-topic vibe outside the usual cheat-scene and gaming talk.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the US. Its time to get fat and watch football.— Jack Daniels

woot. happy turkey day— mr.N0Nam3

Euro 2008 - Who Do You Want to Win?

A Scottish mod mourns his team's exit and starts a football free-for-all in General Discussion

MuusiK^, one of the site's GFX staff members, opens a casual thread about the Euro 2008 football tournament, venting about Scotland and England being knocked out (with some referee/penalty grumbling) before throwing his support behind Portugal. Staff member AKULA jumps in early, and the thread carries on for two pages as members chime in with their own picks. A pretty typical low-stakes Off-Topic hangout thread, more about banter between regulars than any real football analysis.

I wanted scotland but there out because of a dodgy referee.— MuusiK^

Well i want portugal to win anyway— MuusiK^

RapidShare Speed Bragging Thread

A bunch of dudes bragging about their internet speeds in 2008 — welcome to the golden age of broadband envy.

A casual General Discussion thread started by Don Ruski asking members to share their minimum and maximum RapidShare (RS) download/upload speeds, referencing an older thread on the same topic from way back. Members chimed in comparing their connection speeds down to the kilobyte, a mundane but very of-its-era snapshot of pre-broadband-ubiquity internet life. Nothing dramatic happened — just regulars swapping numbers and reacting to each other's stats.

HOLY FUCK I get 310 max, maybe 100 min.— banak

I have a 4MG connection.— laptops

Favorite Shoe Brand?

Nike, Vans, or Uggs for style — Fkn0wned settles the great sneaker debate of December 2009

A lighthearted off-topic thread in General Discussion where PopTart asked members what shoes they preferred, and a good chunk of the community's regulars weighed in with their brand loyalties. Nike and Vans dominated the responses, with shoutouts to Adidas, DC, Osiris, Etnies, and even Uggs. Nothing dramatic here — just a casual, mundane hangout thread showing the human, everyday side of a forum better known for CS hacks and warez.

mine is NIKE because its the only that i can fit into :p :p— PopTart

Is this even a competition? For me, it has to be either Etnies, Nike, Ugg, or Osiris.— h4voCK

Songs That Pump U Up

A 2007 lacrosse player asks fkn0wned for hype music and gets the forum's questionable taste in rock, metal, and techno.

A member named mako_x23 kicks off a casual thread asking fellow forum-goers for pump-up songs ahead of his indoor lacrosse season, requesting rock, heavy metal, or techno recommendations. Staff member Industry chimes in with a quirky suggestion ('Skatman'), and another member, Famousss, joins the conversation. It's a small, laid-back Off-Topic thread typical of early forum culture — sports hype meets music talk with a dash of humor.

songs that you listen to to get pumped up before games...im lookin for stuf thats like mainly rock/heavy metal or techno...— mako_x23

skatman, by skatman its got a good beat and its good for running— Industry

Phishing hoster

Someone shares a 'great hoster for phishing websites' and the thread just says thanks

A member posts a link to a web hosting service they claim was good for hosting phishing pages, noting it stayed up for months before takedown. A handful of regulars reply with quick thanks or a simple 'unhide' to reveal the hidden registration info, with little further discussion. It's a small, low-drama utility-sharing thread typical of the forum's gray-hat underbelly circa 2009.

Tis a great hoster for phishing websites. You can have it up for months before they take it down.— iamrag

thanks, this site is actually pretty sweet— lamer12

Quick question about bunnyhop.

A guy asks why his bunnyhop keeps slowing to a stop — and gets warned his cheat client is already VAC2 detected.

A short, mundane 2007 tech-support thread in General Discussion where member Gospel asks why his Counter-Strike bunnyhopping keeps stalling out while using the Holzed client. Goodapollo quickly warns him to drop that version since it's flagged by VAC2, while Core offers a friendlier alternative by suggesting binding jump to the scroll wheel instead of mashing space. A tiny, forgettable slice of the era's cheat-client churn and casual bhop culture on fkn0wned.

stop using holzed. 1.2fix is vac2 detected now.— Goodapollo

Just practice and you will become pretty good eventually :D— Core

E-raged on Vent =[

One member invited the whole forum to dogpile a kid named Yoohan on voice chat, just for the lulz

A short 2009 General Discussion post from CookieTerrorist calling out a Vent server where a member named Yoohan supposedly rages easily, inviting other Fkn0wned members to join and provoke him for entertainment. The tone is classic era-appropriate forum mischief — casual, mean-spirited fun rather than any real conflict. It got no visible replies in the archived page, just the setup post itself.

I got a kid thats names Yoohan, he e-rages epically and cries a lot! it's funny as hell— CookieTerrorist

Go for it, take some screen shots and post it, have some fun fellas!— CookieTerrorist

Music Torrents

Demonoid's dead — where do you get your tunes now?

A short, casual January 2008 thread in General Discussion where a member asks for good music torrent sites after Demonoid went down. Several regulars chime in with their go-to sites of the era (isoHunt, Mininova, The Pirate Bay, btjunkie, torrentz, and staff member Arcade dropping what.cd and waffles.fm), with some good-natured ribbing about torrent-hunting skills along the way. Nothing dramatic, just a snapshot of how people found music before streaming took over.

But I'm teh_uber_t0rrenthax0r so I add trackers manually sometimes, rifk.— The Moose

Superbowl XLII Poll Thread

Giants vs Patriots, forum-poll style — one guy just wanted a meteor to hit the stadium.

A casual Off-Topic poll/thread from Super Bowl Sunday, February 3, 2008, asking members to pick between the New York Giants and New England Patriots. The community poll was tight, with a chunk of voters just wishing disaster on both teams for laughs. This is page 2 of the thread, catching the tail end where staff members chime in with quick one-liners as the game wraps up.

Both of them suck...i hope a meteroid goes down in the staduim!!

Giants win— hunterbrute224

Favorite Food?

Sushi vs. pizza vs. lasagne — fkn0wned settles the eternal food debate, one-liner at a time.

A light, off-topic General Discussion thread from late December 2009 where forum regulars traded their favorite foods. Nothing deep here — just small talk between members, ranging from sushi and lasagne to pizza and spaghetti, plus one deadpan joke answer. A nice little snapshot of the community's casual, low-stakes side away from the hacking and warez talk.

pizza rapes all kind of food, no doubts. Dont even try.— kubaxplx

What's Everyone Getting for Christmas?

Old-school forum small talk: iPods, cash, and a day off from VAC bans.

A tail-end fragment of a long-running Christmas wish-list thread on Fkn0wned/Gametration's General Discussion board. Members casually listed what they hoped to get for the holidays, ranging from mundane gifts like clothes and money to a joking wish for a break from the world. Nothing dramatic here, just the ordinary chatter of a cheat-scene forum's community outside its usual VAC-dodging and hacking talk, showing the human, everyday side of the site.

I get a day off from the world if all goes well.— chaosabsolute

I getting an iPoD - Whatever. Clothes, Money and so on..— face

What happened at your Superbowl?

Chips, dip, and dial-up nostalgia: fkn0wned members recap their 2008 Super Bowl Sundays

A casual Off-Topic thread from February 2008 where staff member Nerf asks the community how they spent Super Bowl Sunday — food, company, and setup. Replies are low-key and mundane in the best way: solo snack sessions in front of the TV, a pizza night with a girlfriend, and other members chiming in on their low-stakes evenings. It's a small slice of everyday forum life outside the usual cheat/gaming talk, showing the community's more personal, hangout side.

I watched it up stairs on my T.V with a huge ass bag of chips and a shit load of salsa dip and other shit lol.— Nerf

lol just me and my GF watched it plus we ordered a pizza and had some coke— DarkHour

Why Microsoft Windows Vista Sucks

A 2009 forum roast of Vista turns into a wholesome little OS support-group thread

Utu kicked off this General Discussion thread by linking a video mocking Windows Vista, and the regulars piled on with their own takes. Most members agreed Vista was a flop and were either already on Windows 7 or planning to skip straight to it, while a couple of holdouts repped XP and Ubuntu/*nix as their daily drivers. Low-drama, casual tech-chat thread typical of the era's OS wars.

i skipped vista altogether. fail release. been using *nix since the 90's. never fails me ^_^.— lulraep

i prefer xp though i have 7 on laptop, and vista on a different laptop. plus Ubuntu on my other desktop. this is my main cpu though.. xp all the way :D— srw0801

Ctrl+V Game (General Discussion)

The classic 'paste whatever's in your clipboard' game, complete with an early Gangnam Style link and a random internal network hostname.

This was a lighthearted General Discussion thread where members played the old 'Ctrl+V' game — pasting whatever happened to be on their clipboard at that moment, no matter how random. Posts ranged from meaningless strings of text to a member dropping a YouTube link to 'Gangnam Style' back when it was freshly viral in mid-2012. Typical low-stakes, goofy filler thread from [FkN] crew members passing time between the site's cheat/hacking content.

Tell PETA my mink is dragging on the floor— d0t1q

GANGNAM STYLE!— DarkRood

Stand-up Comedy DVD Recommendations Thread

An old Fkn0wned regular asks for DVD stand-up recs and gets Russell Peters, a leecher rant, and staff showing up to weigh in.

A casual Off-Topic thread from November 2007 where member 'Epic Failure' lists stand-up specials they'd already seen (Dave Chappelle, Jeff Dunham, Dane Cook, Pablo Francisco) and asks for more DVD recommendations. Replies came from ZarbonPRO, who suggested Russell Peters with a video link, and 'Arcade', a Rager-ranked member, who pointed to a comedy video source while grumbling about leechers hiding content. Staff member PaRaNoID (a self-described 'SyKoTiK HaCkEr' from Sydney) also chimed in, showing how even off-topic threads drew in the site's regulars and staff.

THERE IS A HIDE THING THERE BECAUSE OF FUCKING LEECHERS, DEAL WITH IT.— Arcade

Russel Peters.— ZarbonPRO

What Drugs Show Up in a Piss Test? (Off-Topic Crowdsourcing)

A CS:S kid asks the forum to crowdsource a drug test cheat sheet — the internet answers, obviously.

A member named MeTaLn2 asked for a rundown of what substances (from meth and weed to prescription pills like Adderall and Oxycontin) actually show up on a standard drug test, worried about a parent-administered test. Fellow off-topic regulars chimed in with links, personal anecdotes about their own testing experiences, and the usual mix of jokes and half-informed advice typical of a mid-2000s gaming forum's General Discussion section. It's a snapshot of the off-topic chatter that filled the space between cheat releases — teenagers talking about real-life problems in between CS:S threads.

lol piss tests how bout piss in ur bosses face? XD— RecoileZ

thanks<3— MeTaLn2

iPod Touch MP4 Converter Chat

A guy just wants free MP4s for his iTouch, and half the forum shows up with their favorite cracked converter

A low-stakes 2008 General Discussion thread where user Famousss asks for free MP4 videos and a cracked YouTube-to-MP4 converter for his iPod Touch. Several regulars and a staff member chime in with their go-to tools of the era (bit torrent searches, PSP-oriented converters, Videora, Frostwire/Limewire), making it a quick snapshot of pre-smartphone media-hoarding culture on the site. Nothing dramatic happened — just a casual, helpful exchange typical of the forum's Off-Topic section.

yer i wana put some vids on to my touch thanks F— Famousss

I have an mp4 converter that i use for my psp... works great— Scratch

Post your Xfire/Gamertag

The thread where old-school Xfire handles got dropped like modern-day gamertag exchanges

A simple General Discussion thread on Gametration/Fkn0wned where members shared their Xfire usernames (the era's go-to gamer messaging/status service) to connect outside the forum. Early replies came from regulars pato, Eckos, and Shifty, with the usual mix of banned and active members chiming in. A low-key, functional thread typical of mid-2000s gaming forums building community outside the board itself.

Post yours today!— pato

Look in my sig.— Eckos

The Great Shoutbox Debate

Should Fkn0wned get a shoutbox? The forum voted 5-2 yes, but staff had other ideas.

A simple poll thread started by miLLer asking whether members wanted a shoutbox added to the site, after several prior suggestion threads on the topic. laptops chimed in noting an earlier suggestion had been shot down over vague 'hacker' concerns, while newcomer azerone argued the risk was overblown and pitched a compact main-page-only version. The poll leaned favorable (5 yes, 2 no) but it's classic small-suggestion-thread energy — low stakes, a few regulars weighing in, nothing resolved on the page itself.

i agree, i made a suggestion thread before, but was told no because of something about hackers.— laptops

lol i voted yea .. i mean you can jus remove bb codes .. n its not like sayin"come hack my site" at all— azerone

Can Someone Name Me This Song, Please?

A guy posts an unidentified mp3, gets side-eyed for low post count, mystery solved in under half an hour.

A low-key General Discussion thread from December 2009 where a member (mcm) asked the community to identify a song used in a CSS plugin, linking a Mediafire mp3. A [FkN] Crew member briefly cast suspicion on the file due to the poster's low post count, but another member vouched for him and correctly identified the track as DMX ft. Swizz Beatz's 'Get It On the Floor.' The thread was closed minutes after being solved — a tiny, everyday snapshot of the forum's social dynamics and trust culture around file links.

No one is going to dl an mp3 file from someone with that few of posts IMO.— vermiLLion

Nah he cool lol. I know that song i just can't name it omg. I got it Get it on the floor DMX ft. Swizz Beats— majrbrawl

Christmas PSP Save File Request Shut Down

A Christmas Day plea to 'hack' a Yu-Gi-Oh PSP save file gets shut down by staff faster than you can say 'FkN isn't your private army.'

On Christmas Day 2007, member jorskobe asked the forum's 'hackers' to modify a PSP save file for Yu-Gi-Oh GX Tag Force so he'd unlock all the cards. Other members razzed him for the game choice and reminded him (again) that the forum wasn't there to do favors on demand. Co-Manager Shifty closed the thread the next day, calling out jorskobe for only showing up to ask for things.

lol the sigs are gettin better industry and as quotes millions of time FkN isnt ur private army... F— Famousss

No. Stop coming on only when you want to ask a question of ask for something.— Shifty

Why am i in ZoaQs Sig?

Dude finds himself randomly immortalized in someone else's forum signature

A member named JamehGould discovers he's featured in ZoaQ's forum signature and starts a lighthearted thread asking why, expressing amused pride at the random shoutout. The thread quickly pivots into a filler discussion about favorite CS 1.6/CSS maps, a classic case of a low-stakes curiosity post turning into general chit-chat. ZoaQ, a member of the site's Graphics Crew, replies but the exchange stays casual and inconsequential — pure early-forum small talk.

I just clicked it because it had a link etc.. And it was Me. Gawd, i feel proud.— JamehGould

Diablo II Hack Suspected of Bundling a Keylogger

A Diablo II player wanted to strip the sketchy 'extra features' out of a hack he'd found.

A short-lived post in General Discussion from user blackxthink, a self-described Diablo II grinder, asking for help disassembling/modifying a Diablo II hack (dll + loader) to remove a suspected keylogger bundled inside it. It's a small, single-post snapshot typical of the era's cheat scene paranoia — downloaded hacks often came laced with malware, and users would turn to forums like this to figure out what they'd actually installed. No replies are preserved on this page, so the outcome is unknown.

Ok I play DIablo 2 And i need to help to decompile a hacks (dll + loader) And modify all in Like : The keylogger , and all the rest ?— blackxthink

pwnt?

A one-word thread title, a page of inside jokes, and the old regulars just shooting the breeze in General Discussion.

A short, casual Off-Topic thread from Fkn0wned.com's General Discussion board, running at least two pages by February 2008. The visible tail end shows staff members Shifty and NoNamE trading quick back-and-forth replies typical of the forum's laid-back banter threads. Little substantive content survives beyond brief one-liners, capturing the low-stakes, community-glue nature of these Off-Topic exchanges rather than any cheat or tech discussion.

you love it.— Shifty

5 Demonoid Invites Giveaway

A member handed out rare Demonoid invites to the General Discussion crowd back in '09

A quick giveaway thread from April 2009 where member jab2000 offered up Demonoid invite codes for two accounts to fellow forum members. Demonoid was a heavily invite-gated private torrent tracker at the time, so invites were considered a small prize among file-sharing and warez-adjacent crowds. The thread got a couple of quick replies from regulars NIX (of the Warez Crew) and ZoaQ (of the Graphics Crew), typical of the fast, low-effort exchanges common in General Discussion giveaway threads.

IRC Server Down (Dec 2007)

The old fkn0wned IRC channel goes dark — anyone else locked out?

A short General Discussion post from a longtime member ('1000 Club' rank) asking whether the site's IRC server was down, since he'd been unable to connect for several days. A small, quiet slice of forum life showing how the community relied on IRC alongside the forum itself, and how outages got flagged by regulars.

Is it just me or has the fkn IRC been down? I've not been able to connect to the server for a few days.— Scratch

Windows XP x32 or x64 - Which is Better?

A 2007 debate over 32-bit vs 64-bit XP, complete with a guy handing out free product keys

A short-lived General Discussion thread from June 2007 asking whether Windows XP x32 or x64 was the better OS. The original poster claimed x64 was faster but incompatible with hacking at the time, and offered to hand out product keys to interested members. Only a couple of replies came in before the thread trailed off, including one from longtime crew member Janza.

Windows XP x64 is faster but you cant hack with it.— officerownage
