Packeting Help! (CoryZ Just Wants Someone Gone)

One guy, one grudge, and a one-line cry for help: 'i just want the steps.'

A brief Random Tuts post from user CoryZ asking the board how to 'packet' another player he was feuding with, explicitly wanting a no-frills how-to rather than a ready-made program. It's a tiny, unanswered snapshot of the era's petty CS 1.6 grudge culture, where knowing how to disrupt someone's connection was treated as a casual forum favor to ask for. No replies are preserved, so the drama's outcome (and the identity of the unlucky 'kid') is lost to time.

i hate this kid, and i rly need to packet the shit out of him! i dont wanna have a program, i just want the steps, thanks!— CoryZ

How to cut your electrical bill in half

A random 'life hack' video buried behind Fkn0wned's classic hidden-content wall

A random-tutorials thread from October 2007 where a user posted a video claiming to show how to lower an electric bill, gated behind the forum's standard 'hidden content, reply to unlock' system. Replies are mostly the usual quick unlock requests and one-word bumps rather than any real discussion of the topic, which was typical for Random Tuts posts on this board. Notable mostly as a snapshot of forum culture: low-effort tutorial sharing, hidden-post mechanics, and members just passing through to grab the content.

Firefox Addons - Explained, With Links

A page-eight tail of one-word 'thx' replies to a long-dead Firefox addons tutorial thread

This is a late page (page 8 of 8) of a tutorial thread in the Random Tuts section, originally posting a rundown of Firefox extensions with download links. By the time this snapshot picks up, the actual tutorial content is long gone and all that remains is a stream of members from December 2007 dropping quick one-liners like 'thank you', 'sweet thnx', and 'cool' to bump or acknowledge the guide. It's a small, mundane slice of forum life showing the tail-end tapering of an old useful-tips thread, with a wide mix of member ranks (Noob to Trained Noob) and games (CS:S, WoW, F.E.A.R., Diablo II).

Use Headphone as a Microphone

One dude reposts a headphone-mic 'trick' — turns out it was already done, and nobody could get it to actually work

A member called 'laptops' posted a supposed tutorial for turning headphones into a microphone, but was quickly called out by lragnarok11 for reposting a thread that had already been made. A couple of members (Nerf) found the idea interesting, while wirmware tried it and reported it didn't work, prompting a deadpan reply from lragnarok11 about the pink audio socket. The thread fizzles out with a few short one-liners and no real resolution.

Bro, i already made a thread about this. Maybe next time you wanna search before posting same thing. Thanks anyways.— lragnarok11

Well did you try putting the headphones into the pink socket?— lragnarok11

sounds acuttaly intresting.— Nerf

How to pick up a hot lady #2

A joke 'pickup guide' sequel that mostly became an excuse for the regulars to riff, roll their eyes, and pile on the reaction gifs.

A tongue-in-cheek follow-up to an earlier 'how to pick up a hot lady' post in the Random Tuts subforum, where Hunter7 dropped a cynical one-liner 'guide' framed as a joke rather than real advice. The thread quickly turned into a low-effort reaction chain of laughs, sarcasm, and a bit of pushback over whether it should've been posted at all, typical of the forum's off-topic joke-thread culture. Nothing serious happened; it's a small artifact of the community's humor and shoutbox-adjacent banter style circa May 2007.

ha sweet edit: why the fuck would you post that..jesus christ— VWA-Dynasty

WHY THE FUCK NOT ??? lol— Hunter7

Make a Contact-Exploding Bomb! (Random Tuts)

A misleadingly titled 'bomb' tutorial that turned out to be nothing of the sort — click-baited its own forum members.

A short-lived thread in the Random Tuts subforum where user [LiP]STicK. posted a tutorial titled 'Make a Contact-Exploding bomb!' with a disclaimer immediately clarifying 'Not really a bomb.. Just watch.' The content itself was hidden behind a spoiler/unhide tag typical of the era. It only drew two replies: one eager for instructions and another simply trying to reveal the hidden content, suggesting the thread fizzled out quickly with little real engagement.

Not really a bomb.. Just watch.— [LiP]STicK.

Minesweeper Hack Tutorial Thread

Someone posted a Minesweeper hack tutorial and the replies were mostly just 'ty'

A low-effort 'Random Tuts' thread from October 2007 where user ericsme123 kicked off a post about a Minesweeper hack. Replies were sparse and mostly consisted of quick thanks from members, with n0n3 asking what the tutorial even was. A classic slice of the forum's Off-Topic/Random Tuts subforum where random, often trivial 'tutorials' got posted and briefly acknowledged.

Myspace 'View Private Photos' Tutorial Thread (tail end)

A classic mid-2000s 'trick' thread limps to page 4 with one-word replies and a lone 'does it work?'

This is the closing stretch of a long-running Random Tuts thread about a supposed method to view private MySpace photos, a staple genre of that era's forum culture. By the point captured here the original tutorial content is long gone from view, with only a trickle of late replies from low-post members thanking the OP, muttering 'unhide', or asking if the trick still works. It's a snapshot of a thread fading out rather than any of its drama or substance.

I need bad! - Photoshop CS2 Serial Key Request

A member begs for a Photoshop CS2 key, and half the replies are just staff telling him to use the search bar.

A member named CoryZ posted asking for a Photoshop CS2 serial key and casually asked how keygens work. A newer member offered to send a key via PM, while staff (AKULA, Rebelz) shut the thread down with the classic 'this has been asked a thousand times, check the stickied software section' response. Pretty typical low-stakes 'gimme' thread from the Random Tuts corner of Off-Topic, capturing the everyday small-time software piracy chatter that was common on forums like this back in 2007.

plz if u can crack it, i need one, also, lol how do keygens work?— CoryZ

Come on man, there are a lot of threads about this in the software section and the gfx section aswell.— AKULA

How to Rip a Phonebook in Half (Random Tuts)

The day Gametration debunked Criss Angel's phonebook trick

A lighthearted post in the Off-Topic > Random Tuts subforum by longtime member AKULA, sharing a video exposing magician Criss Angel's phonebook-ripping trick as fake. Typical of the goofy, low-stakes filler content that filled Off-Topic between the site's cheat database and drama-heavy boards. AKULA was clearly an established regular, holding '1000 Club' status with nearly 2,500 posts.

This is the way Criss Angel did it, what a fake.....— AKULA

Rapidshare Premium Link Converter Post

The eternal 2007 quest: free Rapidshare premium speeds, one dodgy converter site at a time.

A short thread from Fkn0wned's 'Random Tuts' subforum where a member posts a link to a third-party site claiming to convert regular Rapidshare download links into premium ones, admitting upfront the site was down for bandwidth reasons. It's a classic relic of the mid-2000s file-hosting era, when Rapidshare premium accounts were a hot commodity and workaround sites like this were common currency on forums like this one. The thread starts with an apology for not knowing where to post it, followed by an early reply from a retired supervisor.

Sorry, I don't know where to put this because I'm just posting a link so it's not really a 'tutorial'— DCLXVI

15 Firefox Tweaks

An old-school browser speedup tutorial dug up from the Random Tuts graveyard.

A staff member named laptops posted a tips-and-tricks list of Firefox performance/config tweaks in the Off-Topic > Random Tuts subforum back in September 2007. It's a typical era-appropriate tutorial thread, the kind of low-key utility post that filled out forum activity between the cheat database drama and off-topic banter. Nothing controversial here, just an old browser optimization guide preserved from the site's early days.

Random Tuts — Fkn0wned.Com Off-Topic Board Index

The board where teenagers taught each other to spam, crack, lockpick, and 'never lose an argument' — all in one thread list.

This is a board-index listing for the 'Random Tuts' subforum under Off-Topic on Fkn0wned.Com, a mid-to-late 2000s gaming/cheat-scene forum. It's a sprawling grab-bag of tutorial threads covering everything from PC speed-up tricks and CS scripting to sketchier fare like password/account theft, forum hacking, CD-key tricks, and even lockpicking and smokebomb-making. The tone is classic old-school forum chaos — a little bit useful, a little bit edgy, moderated loosely by staff ranks like Manager and Co-Manager. A second page fragment shows the forum's later evolution into a more structured marketplace ('Buyers Section') for trading steam/game accounts, cd-keys, and bulk account bundles, reflecting the site's drift toward account/CD-key trading culture circa 2011.
