Will Steam Catch Me for Scamming Accounts?

A scammer asks if Steam will actually catch him — and the forum weighs in.

A member going by 'Lord Ragealot' opens a thread in General Discussion asking whether rumors were true that Steam actively hunts down account scammers and strips them of every account they'd ever taken. He seems mostly worried about losing his own scammed accounts rather than any ethical concern. The thread drew a quick reply from 'Olie22' before getting cut off in the archive. It's a small window into the casual, transactional attitude toward account scamming that was common on cheat-scene forums of that era.

I don't wanna lose my accounts when I go scamming now :S— LoRd Ragealot

Post your cool black guy...

A 2008 meme thread where the Off-Topic regulars just dumped their favorite 'cool black guy' images, Deebo included

A lighthearted image-dump thread in the General Discussion board where members posted pictures/memes of 'cool black guy' characters, kicked off by co-manager Shifty with a Deebo image from Friday movie fame. Typical early-2000s forum humor thread with low effort, high nostalgia value, and staff members participating alongside regulars. Nothing dramatic, just classic off-topic filler content typical of the era's imageboard-adjacent culture.

I'll start: Deebo r legend.— Shifty

Mutil8's Login Gets Stolen - Community Offers Recovery Advice

Account got jacked — old heads roll in with the 'you'll get it back in a week or two' pep talk.

A short continuation of a General Discussion thread where a member (Mutil8) had their forum login stolen, and other users offer reassurance and rough timelines for account recovery based on their own past experiences. It's a low-drama, community-support type thread typical of the everyday account-theft grievances common on cheat/gaming forums of the era. The page also preserves classic fkn0wned furniture: an Anabolic Innovations ad banner, giveaway spam, and a stray 'Hide hack is working now' notice.

You will gte it back but within about 1 or 2 weeks its how long mine took to retrive so dw just shillax and wait for it to get retrieved— Hatred!

Whats good? - Assassin's Creed vs BioShock vs Mass Effect

Back in 2007, fkn0wned members hashed out the ultimate holiday gaming purchase: Assassin's Creed, BioShock, or Mass Effect?

A December 2007 General Discussion thread where a member named pato asked for help deciding between Assassin's Creed, BioShock, and Mass Effect. A handful of regulars weighed in with quick opinions, with Peski-Ruski giving the most detailed breakdown, calling BioShock too short and framing the other two as better long-term picks. It's a low-stakes, casual thread typical of the site's Off-Topic section — gamers just chatting about what to buy with their money.

BioShock is too short, don't buy it. Mass Effect if you want a long term FPSRPG, and Assassins Creed if you want a brand new expirience on gaming platforms.— Peski-Ruski

Vent - Get in the Voice Chat

A supervisor begs the dying community to actually use its own voice server.

A short, low-key thread in General Discussion where a Supervisor named Bucketface calls out how quiet the forum's Ventrilo voice server had become, half-jokingly threatening to end it all over the inactivity. A Staff Member, hunterbrute224, chimes in shortly after. It's a small, mundane snapshot of community upkeep rather than any major event — the kind of low-stakes 'hey come hang out' post typical of forum downtime.

People get in the vent. It's so inactive i think I might kill myself.— Bucketface

MiniCity browser game share

HaSh drags the whole Off-Topic board into a browser game rabbit hole.

A short, low-key thread started by staff member HaSh sharing myminicity.com, an old browser-based city-building game that was briefly popular as a time-waster on forums like this one. The post is brief and casual, just flagging the game as 'addictive' with no further discussion captured. It's a small, fun snapshot of the kind of low-effort Off-Topic filler threads that filled General Discussion between the site's more serious cheat/gaming content.

This shit is addictive.— HaSh

TV Links IS RECOVERED

An old member burst in yelling that a dead piracy streaming site had come back from the grave.

A short, excited post announcing that the defunct free TV/movie streaming site 'TV Links' had apparently been resurrected via a backup mirror. The OP, hunterbrute224, spammed the link with enthusiasm calling it 'epic fucking epic' and asked others to report any dead links. A reply came in from long-time member Arcade shortly after, though the thread cuts off before showing much discussion.

Must go now, someone recovered the website omfg epic fucking epic Finally Piracy Lives on— hunterbrute224

Spam Ad Disguised as Ban 'Solution' Gets Instantly Torched

A guy tries to advertise his own site as the "solution" to bans — gets called a faggot in reply, thread dies on the spot.

A short-lived thread in General Discussion where user swat0880 posted what was billed as a 'solution' to people getting banned, but it turned out to just be a thinly-veiled ad for an outside site (GameConn.net) promising hacks, cheats, and a $50,000 prize giveaway for reaching a post count. The only reply, from Zunder, torched the thread with a one-line insult calling out the transparent advertisement. Classic fkn0wned energy: a bait title, a spam post, and instant community pushback.

Nice fucking solution you faggot.— Zunder

Tell Us About Yourself - Intro Thread

The classic intro thread where every regular first said hello.

This was Gametration.com's introductory thread in the General Discussion section of the Off-Topic forum, where members posted basic info about themselves to break the ice with the community. Typical of early-2010s gaming/cheat forums, it served as a low-key social hub rather than a technical or drama-heavy thread. The archived page itself preserves mostly site navigation and forum category structure rather than actual member posts.

extenz & YONi - Live Free (Original Mix)

A forum member moonlighting as a DJ drops his own track and asks fkn0wned to vote it up

Member XytZ shared a collaborative electronic music track he made with fellow member Extenz, titled 'Live Free (Original Mix)', posting links to YouTube, social media, and a Spinnin' Records talent pool voting page asking the community for support. Extenz, credited co-producer, replied shortly after. A small, quiet self-promo thread rather than anything scene-related, showing the more personal, off-topic side of the forum's General Discussion board.

[Movie] The Crazies — Trailer Chat

Zombie-movie fatigue hits fkn0wned: the crew shrugs at 'The Crazies' trailer

vermiLLion kicked off a casual thread sharing the trailer for the 2010 horror remake 'The Crazies,' curious what the crew thought. Reactions were mostly lukewarm to indifferent, with several regulars (KZA, DJSketch, ap3x) dismissing it as yet another infected/zombie flick, while a couple of others were mildly interested or planned to grab a download once available. A quick, low-drama slice of everyday movie-chat life in General Discussion.

Looks okay, nothing im over exited about.— KZA

Just another zombie movie. *yawn*— ap3x

Yea it looks like it will get gay half way through.— deX-

Stupid but clever jokes

A guy's ass so big it out-crack's a Colombian cartel — and it only gets dumber from there.

A low-effort Off-Topic thread where a new member (foolsgold) invites others to share 'stupid but clever' one-liner jokes, kicking things off with a crude insult joke. A handful of regulars chime in with their own quips and quotes, including a stoned musing about beards and the Taliban, and a banned member (Renegade.MB) pops in mainly to mock the OP's use of the word 'lately.' Pretty typical filler-thread energy for the General Discussion board — nothing dramatic, just forum small talk and joke-swapping from late 2007.

Your ass is so big, it has more crack then a Colombian Drug Cartel— foolsgold

Talking of beards and drugs, that leads me neatly to the taliban— rynth

I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian.— bobbafett07

Locked Out: The Great MSN Password Recovery Plea

One member locked himself out of MSN Messenger and begged the forum for a way back in — staff wasn't fully buying it.

A member named jacal posted in General Discussion asking for help recovering a forgotten MSN Messenger password after also losing the answer to his security question. He asked whether any tool existed to pull the password from local files or crack it if stored as MD5, explicitly disclaiming interest in 'bruteforce' programs. Staff member Scratch pushed back with a basic troubleshooting question about the 'Remember my password' setting, and the exchange continued with jacal insisting there must be some file-recovery tool. A fairly mundane tech-help thread typical of the era's MSN/account-recovery chatter on cheat-scene forums.

i know im dumb is there a program out there that can find it??— jacal

did you select "Remember my password" on msn messenger? Otherwise you can't recover it.— Scratch

but isn't there a program that goes back through the files or something that gets the password??— jacal

What could I get for this computer? - Fkn0wned.Com

An old CS 1.6 rig, a MacBook dream, and the forum's collective wisdom on flipping a Dell for cash.

A member with an aging Dell desktop (built for Counter-Strike back in the day, now just used for browsing and MSN) asked the General Discussion board how much he could sell it for, hoping to fund a MacBook purchase. Regulars chimed in with casual appraisals and tips like swapping in a bigger hard drive and cleaning up the fan to make it look newer, with one estimate landing around $500-$600. A tangential reply suggested skipping the sale entirely and just handing the PC down to family.

Bigger hardrive and new video card. Probably not worth putting a new video card in though.— Pr0wL3r454

You could probably get $500-$600 if you're lucky.— Arcade

you should just give the pc to the family and save for it yourself =]— jcomp6

1K Club Can't See World News?

A '1000 Club' member reports a mystery forum access bug — solved same-day by staff Tux.

A tiny, mundane bug report from a '1K Club' member (mr.N0Nam3) who couldn't view a 'World News' subforum despite being an established, high-post-count user. Fellow members and staff (Shifty., PaRaNoID, TuxifieD) chimed in to help diagnose it, and staffer TuxifieD fixed the permissions within minutes. Moderator DCLXVI closed the thread the same day marking it resolved — a quick snapshot of the forum's active, responsive staff and everyday housekeeping.

ya, i cant see it.— mr.N0Nam3

he can see the forum name but probably cant access...— PaRaNoID

should beable to now— TuxifieD

Typos

Fkn0wned's finest reveal their most embarrassing keyboard fumbles

A lighthearted General Discussion thread from April 2009 where members shared the typos they make most often. Answers ranged from simple slip-ups like 'jsut' for 'just' to jokes about fumbling their own password, plus some playful self-referential humor (typing errors on purpose to prove the point). Nothing dramatic here — just classic low-stakes forum small talk and community bonding.

What typo do you always do the most when typing? mine is - jsut (just)— jonneh28

I don't know waht mine is... (That was on purpose)— monopoly171

My password. Mess that up the most I think— Gamemania

Guy's Desktop Files Vanish After Reboot

One reboot, one Windows update, and asshoel50's whole desktop just... gone.

A member named asshoel50 posts in a panic after rebooting his PC and finding every file on his desktop missing, asking if there's any way to recover them. Fellow members chime in with suggestions ranging from System Restore to checking desktop display settings, but a couple of posters speculate he'd been hit by a trojan and warn the files might be unrecoverable. A small, mundane tech-support thread typical of the forum's Off-Topic/General Discussion section, showing the community's casual back-and-forth troubleshooting style.

all files on my desktop were gone. is there a way to restore this cause i had some importan files on it :/— asshoel50

your trojanned, resotore with windows disk— ballistic

id say trojaned and your not going to get your important files back if you were. Sry Bud.. Better Luck next time...— darkfin2323

Awesome or What? (the TF2-showed-up-on-every-account mystery)

Everyone's Steam account mysteriously had TF2 — turns out it was just a free week, mods closed it in minutes.

A member named gunhater noticed Team Fortress 2 appearing on freshly made Steam accounts and asked the forum if it was a glitch. A few regulars chimed in with half-serious theories (preload, a Half-Life-style unlock quirk) before staff member hoOkz pointed out it was simply a free promotional week for TF2 and locked the thread as solved. Pure small-talk filler thread, notable mostly for the quick, low-drama mod close and the casual back-and-forth typical of the General Discussion board.

actually, i think its like half life, once you install it, it comes on all your accounts. but you cant play it unless u have it on that account. AMIRITE?— [VIP] ojj321

TF2 is a free week so all steams will have it— [FkN] hoOkz

Even Moar Demonoid Invites #4-6

Another round of free Demonoid invites drops in General Discussion — and half the thread doesn't even know what Demonoid is.

A short, low-key giveaway thread from April 2009 where member animestan hands out invite codes to Demonoid, the semi-private torrent tracker, for the fourth through sixth time. Replies are mostly quick 'thanks' posts, with one newer member (cfman) asking what Demonoid actually is and getting a one-line explanation. Classic filler-thread vibe typical of the General Discussion board — low effort, high gratitude.

Forgive me for abusing the english language. But here is what you came for.— animestan

Thanks and btw what is this thing?— cfman

semi-private torrent distribution site— animestan

delete_me (the thread about deleting a thread)

A member asks staff to delete his own thread — because he already made the exact same one to celebrate hitting the 1K Club.

A tiny, throwaway General Discussion thread where user anarchie65 asks for his own post to be deleted, admitting he'd already made an identical thread in the '1K Club' forum after reaching 1,000+ posts. laptops and asshoel50 chime in briefly, poking fun at the duplicate. It's a mundane, almost meta moment of forum life — the kind of low-stakes clutter that filled Off-Topic between the real drama.

please delete the thread, laptops's right..— anarchie65

theres a thread in 1K lol anarchie you so funny— laptops

i cant see en either— asshoel50

New Rebecca Black song?

Zanderdanmark shares a new Rebecca Black song, gets instantly told it's already old news, self-locks the thread in under a minute

A quick, low-stakes General Discussion thread from July 2011 where member zanderdanmark posted a link to a new Rebecca Black song, only for two other members (OJJ and 'Justin Bieber') to reply almost instantly saying it had already been posted. Zanderdanmark then closed his own thread as a moderator seconds later. A tiny, mundane slice of forum life that captures the fast-paced, meme-heavy, nothing-serious vibe of the board's off-topic chatter.

Damn it sucks.— [FkN] zanderdanmark

Already posted— [VIP] OJJ

has been posted before :)— [1K] Justin Bieber

iPod Games - Fkn0wned.Com

A guy with a fancy new iPod Nano just wanted free Snake, and the thread that followed is pure 2007 internet time-capsule energy.

A member who'd just bought a 3rd-gen iPod Nano asked whether iTunes games could be pirated or otherwise bypassed instead of paying $5 a pop, grumbling about Apple pricing. Replies were short and casual — one classic sarcastic 'google it' response, one guy plugging Rockbox as a way to play games like Snake and Doom on his iPod, and another vaguely pointing toward 'patching' the device. Low-effort, low-drama, everyday General Discussion filler typical of the era's off-topic banter.

does anyone know if its possible to download the games on bittorrent or something and make them work with itunes?— dainbramaged

www.google.com =]— jcomp6

i use rockbox on my ipod i can play snake, doom, copter game .....— bragamuffin

Rival forum spams $500 giveaway to poach members, gets clowned

A rival site dangles a $500 giveaway to poach members — and gets roasted for it.

A member with a fresh, low post count drops in to advertise 'Gameconn.net,' a new community forum, hyping cash and gift card prizes to lure people to register and even take on moderator roles. The pitch reads like classic forum spam/cross-promotion of the era. A veteran uploader clowns the offer by 'offering' to moderate for $500 flat, and another member just asks what the site is even about, unconvinced. Thread fizzles out after three replies with no real traction.

Register for a chance to win $500 and 5X $50 giftcards for best buy!— swat0880

pay me $500 US i will moderate/manage your forum. day to day.— KZA

what is this site revolving? is it similar to this? is it a tut site?— irishash

The Hitchhiker's Guide To Murder

slingblade drops a cryptic video link, gets one reply, and even he's not sure why he posted it

A short, almost throwaway thread in General Discussion where longtime member slingblade shared a video titled something like 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to Murder', clearly expecting laughs. It flopped quietly for a day until VIP member retsnomlc chimed in with a lone '42' reference, prompting slingblade to admit the video had basically nothing to do with the actual Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy beyond the name. A tiny, quintessential filler thread from the forum's slower holiday period, right around Christmas 2009.

get outa my mind! haha!!— slingblade

42— retsnomlc

ok, i dont think anything in this video had anything to do with hitchhiker's guide to the halaxy in it, other than the similarity in the name— slingblade

Jay-Z ft. Hudson - 'Forever Young' music share

Admin ZoaQ drops a Jay-Z track and the thread just... agrees.

A short, low-key General Discussion thread where forum admin ZoaQ shares the Jay-Z ft. Hudson track 'Forever Young', calling it worth a listen. A couple of members chime in with brief agreement, including VIP DJSketch and regular jonneh28, before the thread fizzles out. Nothing dramatic — just a snapshot of everyday music-sharing chatter typical of the forum's General Discussion board.

just wanted to share the song thinks its /win :p— ZoaQ

Agreed, good stuff for real.— DJSketch

I listened to this about a week nonstop— jonneh28

Anthem celebrating Contadors Tour de France-win

Wrong national anthem plays for the Tour de France winner — cue five-minute forum roast.

Admin ZoaQ posted a short, mildly patriotic news bit about a 2009 broadcast mishap where Tour de France organizers played the Danish anthem instead of Spain's for winner Alberto Contador, linking a Danish TV2 clip. The thread barely got going before it fizzled into a broken video link, a quick fix, and a couple of dismissive one-liners about Contador's appearance. Classic low-stakes off-topic filler typical of the General Discussion board rather than any real drama.

The Tour de France organizers, A.S.O. love Denmark :3 <3— ZoaQ

meh they both looks like fagots or 3 idr.— Captainplanet

However, there is something wrong with that guy, his face, how he acts. Fail.— the unnamed

How to play DVD in Wii?

A simple Wii question in 2007 turns into a mini flame war before someone just says 'google it'

A member named jorskobe asks whether the Wii can play regular DVDs, sparking a scattered back-and-forth about disc formats, modchips, and whether Nintendo even allows it. One reply gets called out for flaming and being unhelpful, another cites Nintendo's own troubleshooting page to settle the technical question, and it ends with a suggestion to just rip the DVD and stream it instead. Classic low-stakes early forum tech-support thread with some minor bickering along the way.

maybe you should be less stupid and stop flaming everyone.— zarmanin

Please note that the Wii is only compatible with Wii and Nintendo GameCube Game Discs.— Goodapollo

how about rip the dvd onto ur pc then stream it to your wii if u want to know how then www.google.com— pyeman

Which Game Should I Buy: Assassin's Creed, Time Shift, or Mass Effect?

One guy, $80, and a forum full of opinions on what to buy in late 2007

A member named ynaggo asked the forum to help him decide how to spend $80 on a new game, running a poll between Assassin's Creed, Time Shift, and Mass Effect. Assassin's Creed ran away with the vote (80%), with a couple of members chiming in with quick one-liners rather than deep debate. A pretty ordinary, low-stakes Off-Topic thread capturing the casual game-shopping chatter typical of the era.

I Have 80$ Im losing my mind on which one..........— ynaggo

Call of Duty 4. Oh sorry, Assassin's Creed.— Eckos

mass effect— HaSh

Fingerboarding at it's finest

A sponsored fingerboarder video split the forum between 'that's sick' and 'who wastes money on this'

vermiLLion shared a YouTube clip of a sponsored fingerboarder showing off tricks, sparking a short, casual off-topic thread in General Discussion. Replies ranged from genuine admiration for the coordination to mockery about wasted time and sponsorship money. A handful of regulars and mods chimed in with quick one-liners before the thread fizzled out after eleven posts.

Who the fuck wastes money sponsoring some kid doing this shit?— ap3x

holy shit people actually get sponsored for that shit wow shoulda stuck with it back when I did it in the 3rd grade— Stryker0214

Dude i used to be way sicker when i was 6 years old. I'm gonna have to guy buy one again.— KZA

Quick Question About Bandwidth

A member panics after realizing refreshing his own site 50 times might eat his monthly bandwidth cap.

A short, low-stakes help thread from December 2007 in the General Discussion board, where member Marc347 asks staff member miLLer to explain what a '2 gigs of bandwidth' hosting limit actually means. miLLer clarifies that exceeding it triggers a bandwidth-exceeded error, and Marc347 jokes about having doomed his own site by refreshing his page repeatedly. A small, mundane exchange typical of the site's everyday tech-help chatter rather than any drama.

Does that mean that 2gigs of information can be transfered a month or something and after that my site won't be up?!?— Marc347

Yes, if you exceed it your site will most likly show an error saying "bandwidth exceeded".— miLLer

I have refreshed and updated the page at least 50 times today, my bandwidth is going to be depleted in no time!— Marc347

Dragonball Z -.-

One guy just wanted to know if his favorite PS2 game existed on PC. It did not.

A brief, sleepy General Discussion thread from June 2007 where member conTagious asks if a Dragon Ball Z game he enjoyed on PS2 was available on PC, hoping for something to do during the start of summer holidays. Fellow member prinz quickly shoots the idea down after a failed Google search, and conTagious accepts the disappointing verdict. Three short posts total, a perfectly mundane slice of old-forum small talk.

does this excist for PC, ive had good fun when i played it on ps2 some time ago— conTagious

dont think so cant find it on google— prinz

got damnit thats to bad— conTagious

Any way to skip closed ports?

A guy tries to dodge his work firewall and the forum shrugs back at him

A member named Kane asks if there's a way to get around ports blocked by his workplace's network admins so he can run a program at work, and whether he'd get caught doing it. Supervisor Janza suggests just switching to a different port, and hunterbrute224 chimes in about using port forwarding for hosting stuff on his own router at home. Pretty mundane, low-stakes tech-help thread typical of the forum's General Discussion section.

Is there any way I can connect to ports even their closed? Any way around?— kanetheheatsink

Just a question, why can't you just use a different port?— Janza

I use port forwarding to host shit on my router— hunterbrute224

Lets see how high we can count :D

A guy tried to restart the classic counting thread — it lasted four posts before staff shut it down as a repost.

A member named RNK kicked off yet another 'let's count' filler thread in General Discussion, only to be immediately called out by regulars for duplicating an existing topic. A link to the original counting thread was dropped, Fopje asked people to just report it, and moderator NIX closed it minutes later with a boilerplate 'closed' notice. A tiny, mundane slice of forum life — low effort thread, fast community self-policing, quick mod hammer.

we already have a topic like this :)— [1K] Justin Bieber

so lets do it again niggah— RNK

guys, please just report the thread so it gets closed :)— [FkN] Fopje

[DUMPERT] Epic clips written by Kimmi

A Smod's dump of early-2010s viral video links, rated funniest-first — Dutch internet humor at its finest.

A quick, low-effort General Discussion thread from February 2010 where longtime Smod Kimmi shared a batch of links to short viral clips hosted on the Dutch site Dumpert, ranking them by how 'epic' they were. It's the kind of filler thread every forum had — a couple people chime in, one clip gets singled out as the funniest, and the topic quietly dies after three posts. Notable mostly as a snapshot of the casual, meme-sharing side of the community outside the hacking/cheat talk.

Very short clips of epic things! Funniest first IMO.— Kimmi

Failure in January is funny as fuck LMAO— Mystik

Japanese humor is so.. LOL.— Kimmi

Free Steam Games for NVIDIA Users

A guy posts a link to Steam's NVIDIA freebie promo — cue instant 'use the search bar' pile-on

Rebelz shares a link about Steam giving free games to NVIDIA users, which turns out to be a repost of something already covered in the Steam Client subforum. A staff member (Arcade) chimes in with a random joke about two posters both having names ending in 'z', and a handful of members thank the OP or just say it's cool. Classic low-stakes General Discussion filler thread with some light ribbing over the duplicate post.

I got an idea for you, theres a thing called S E A R C H, it spells Search you should try it sometime— hunterbrute224

lol i already posted this in the Steam Client section Youi just got pwnt by a fkn newbie— RecoileZ

What's up with Niggorex?

A one-liner asking about a missing member turns into a two-post joke before a mod nukes the whole thread as 'spam fest.'

A member named Chazze posted a quick, curious question asking why a user called Niggorex seemed to be gone or erroring out on the site. Supervisor mr.N0Nam3 replied with a dismissive joke about the person's father, prompting a sarcastic 'that's really sad' response from Chazze. The thread never developed beyond that exchange before staff (Shifty.) closed it, logging the reason as 'spam fest' — a typical fate for short, low-content curiosity threads on this board.

DB Error, or what the phuck if someone knows?— Chazze

his daddy never loved him.— mr.N0Nam3

Oh really? That is really, really, really sad.... :<— Chazze

Wife Prank Gone Wrong

A viral 'wife catches cheating' YouTube video makes the rounds and the whole board just watches the drama unfold together.

Don Ruski dropped a link to a viral YouTube video (a staged prank/reveal involving a wife and infidelity) in General Discussion, and the thread became a low-effort but long-running pile of reactions over several days in August 2008. A rotating cast of regulars — 500 Club and 2000/3000/5000 Club members, a couple of soon-to-be-banned users — chimed in mostly with laughter, shock, and one-liners. Nothing controversial happened on the forum itself; it's a snapshot of the everyday shoutbox-adjacent chatter that filled the General Discussion board.

thats fucked up she fucked his brother id punch that bitch lol— bLunts

lol, now their both in deep fkn sh!t!— elmo575

So old but still funny.— Afteryou

Unreal 3

Supervisor Afteryou casually asks who's got Unreal 3 — turns out everyone just wants a CD key

A short, low-key General Discussion thread from December 2007 where longtime Supervisor 'Afteryou' asks who owns Unreal 3. Regulars anarchie65 and blackxthink chime in, with the conversation quickly turning into a joking callout that Afteryou was really just fishing for a CD key via PM. Classic filler-thread energy typical of the era's off-topic board — quick, casual, a little cheeky.

Who has this game ?— Afteryou

he wants a cd key like me haha— anarchie65

He want it lol— blackxthink

Does Anybody Know Who's This Girl?

A random pic, a reverse image search, and a swift myth-busting — classic forum sleuthing over absolutely nothing.

NIX posted a photo asking the forum to identify a girl in it, joking that he wanted her name. Within a couple replies, members used istockphoto and TinEye to reveal she was just a generic stock photo model, not the 'Serbian' girl NIX's friend claimed she was. A small, lighthearted thread with quick community-driven debunking, typical of the forum's casual off-topic banter.

Niggaz turn on ya engines me wants her name :D— NIX

She is just a model on istockphoto.com, nobody famous =(— testacc22

Nah my friend gave me tha pic said she's some Serbian bitch roflmao— NIX

Nerf's Birthday Spam Thread

A staff member's birthday spam thread that got instantly closed for being, well, spam.

A short-lived thread started by staff member Nerf on his birthday, consisting of rambling, incoherent birthday-hype posts double-posted back to back. A moderator (NoNamE!) closed it the same day, labeling it 'another spam thread' — a mundane but classic snapshot of forum-mod housekeeping and off-topic chaos in early 2008.

Okay so itr'z my birthday we luvv zehh niggaz in da town nigga.— Nerf

another spam thread.— NoNamE!

Need a Megaupload Account (Closed by Mod)

One guy asked for a Megaupload account and got instantly shut down by the mods — thread closed in under a minute.

A short-lived December 2009 thread in General Discussion where member Opti15 asked for someone to PM him a Megaupload account. Moderator PopTart (Warez King, [FkN] Smod) closed it almost immediately with an automated notice stating that General Discussion wasn't the place for such requests. A quick, mundane snapshot of forum housekeeping and the strict line between General Discussion and the site's dedicated warez/downloads sections.

I need a megaupload account, can anyone pm me one please..— Opti15

This topic has been closed by a moderator(me). Reason: " This isnt the place to ask for one "— PopTart

Helpo Plzo! (Photoshop CS2 Serial Request)

A one-post cry for a Photoshop serial gets shut down before it even gets going.

A brief, low-effort thread in Fkn0wned's General Discussion where member CoryZ asked for a Photoshop CS2 serial number. It was quickly flagged as a duplicate topic by moderator Arcade, who told CoryZ to take it to PMs instead, and the thread was closed almost immediately by staff (DCLXVI). A tiny, unremarkable snapshot of the forum's day-to-day moderation and casual rule enforcement.

I need a Photoshop CS2 serial numba, anyone got?— CoryZ

This thread doesn't need anymore replies. PM me CoryZ.— Arcade

Rapidshare - How Does Uploading Even Work?

A total noob asks how Rapidshare links work, and the forum actually answers nicely.

A newer member named Renegade.MB asks a basic tech-support question about how to upload a file to Rapidshare and get a shareable download link, admitting it's probably a 'noob question.' Forum regular laptops, a 1000 Club member, gives a quick, friendly explanation of where to find the share link. Renegade.MB thanks them and the short thread wraps up peacefully — a tiny, mundane slice of everyday General Discussion life on Fkn0wned.

Sorry for the noob question :S.— Renegade.MB

when you've uploaded, at the bottom, there it says "show link or something" click that.— laptops

Suggestion: Flyout Subforum Menus for Nav Dropdown

One member's small-time site UX suggestion, preserved forever in the archive

A single-post thread by member dainbramaged asking whoever maintained Fkn0wned.com's front-end whether the top navigation dropdown could expand into flyout subforum menus, similar to DeviantArt's menu at the time. The poster admits limited JavaScript knowledge and asks politely, even offering to have the thread deleted if the request seemed too novice. It's a low-drama, everyday feedback post typical of the Site Related/General Discussion corner of the forum, with no replies recorded.

wouldn't it be even better if each category expanded to subforums kinda like the start menu programs do?— dainbramaged

please tell me and delete the thread before i seem like too much of a n00b lol— dainbramaged

Take2 Still Refuses to Pinpoint GTA IV Release

GTA IV hype watch: no release date, no news, but the thread rolls on anyway.

A supervisor named Shifty posts a week-old news recap about Take2/Rockstar CEO Strauss Zelnick failing to give a firm release date for GTA IV, just confirming a broad fiscal-quarter window. The OP snarks about journalists milking a non-story, and the thread quickly becomes low-key GTA IV hype talk, with at least one member vowing to line up for launch day. Pretty typical of the site's General Discussion vibe circa late 2007 — gaming news repost plus casual chatter.

Do journalists get paid for this shit?— Shifty.

Still can't wait for its official release, i'll be one of those people who will stand in line for it for hours.— mystical1

I just got the best way to do your homework

One kid discovers Yahoo Answers can do science homework — thread devolves into wisecracks in seconds

A 2007 Off-Topic thread in General Discussion where user HaSh brags about finishing science homework in five minutes using answers.yahoo.com instead of studying. Fellow members quickly jump in with joking replies, including a request to have it write an English paper, in classic low-effort forum banter fashion. It's a small, mundane slice of everyday teenage forum life rather than anything dramatic — a snapshot of how members killed time between gaming discussions.

I finished my science homework in 5 minutes. And didnt even look at my text book.— HaSh

can it write my english paper on a journalistic narrative???— Jack Bauer

WHATS THEASE? - random image confusion thread

A guy posts a mystery screenshot, gets clowned, thread gets closed with a shrug: "fixed"

A member named Killer-k posted an image asking what it was, seemingly a display or forum-formatting issue rather than an actual question about content. Jack Daniels jumped in with typical fkn0wned brand of hostility, calling it a stupid thread while identifying the image as rapidshare account listings, before Co-Manager DCLXVI stepped in to correct him and point Killer-k toward the 'Standard' display option to fix his viewing issue. The thread was closed by staff shortly after with the terse reason 'fixed'.

rapidshare accounts. and quit making stupid threads you moron.— Jack Daniels

Jack Daniels, watch it, you didn't actually look properly to see his problem.— DCLXVI

Problem with WinXP theme

A member's Windows XP theme mysteriously vanished, and the fix suggestions weren't exactly high-tech.

A member named kanetheheatsink posted in General Discussion asking for help after his Windows XP visual theme broke, dreading a full reformat and noting that StyleXP hadn't solved it either. Staff member miLLer replied with a shrug, admitting the issue wasn't very clear and suggesting he just switch back to the default XP theme. Supervisor Janza chimed in but the reply was cut off in the archive. A small, mundane tech-support thread typical of the forum's Off-Topic section.

My theme is gone, and I don't want to begin formating my comp because of such shit.— kanetheheatsink

Sorry would be easier if that was in english...— miLLer

How can I play LAN?

A simple networking question turns into a classic forum 'figure it out yourself' moment.

A member named Marc347 asks for basic help setting up a LAN connection between two computers to play games together, without going through a router. Supervisor HaSh chimes in with terse, minimal replies, leading Marc347 to ask increasingly basic follow-up questions. It's a small, mundane tech-support thread typical of the forum's General Discussion section, cut short before a full answer is given.

Have both computers on the same network.— HaSh

Okay, how can I get both computers on one network?— Marc347

What's your favorite Firefox Extension?

A quaint 2009 chat about browser add-ons, before the forum's cheat-scene chaos took over

A short, laid-back General Discussion thread from December 2009 where forum members shared their favorite Firefox extensions. Smod ap3x kicked it off by naming GreaseMonkey/Userscripts, with a couple of others chiming in agreement or admitting they forgot the name of a YouTube downloader extension. A calm, everyday slice-of-life thread typical of the forum's off-topic chatter, sitting alongside the site's usual CSS-hack advertisements.

There's a ton of them, just wanna know what you guys use. Mine by far is GreaseMonkey/Userscripts— ap3x

The one that lets you download youtube videos easily... I forgot its name =/— pheonixinwater
