Steam Update Post Sparks Months-Long Spam Feud in Deutsche Hacks
A routine Steam patch-notes post spirals into a German-language spam feud that limps on for five pages and months
albert90 posted the official Steam client changelog from September 17, 2007 in the German-language 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum, signing off with the forum's usual 'cheat at your own risk' disclaimer. Newer member Keskin^ called it spam, sparking a multi-post argument with albert90 and strang0r over forum seniority, post counts, and whether posting Steam updates was an established 'Brauch' (tradition) on the site. The thread eventually devolved into strang0r and albert90 (who leveled up to '1000 Club' status along the way) trading in-jokes about who would get the last post on each page, dragging what started as patch notes into a running bit that stretched for months.
Wie immer: Nach eurem ermessen cheaten!!— albert90
Nur weil du nach 1 Jahr lcherliche 900 Posts hast denkst du das du hier der Oberhacker bist?— Keskin^
du schwein...jetz mssen wir ne ganze seite wieder vollschreiben ^^— albert90
Hiding Wallhacks from Screenshots (Derails into Marriage Proposal)
A German kid asks how to hide his wallhack from screenshots, ends up getting a marriage proposal instead.
In the Deutsche Hacks subforum, member flatschGER asks (in German) whether there's a way to hide equipped materials like weapon skins or an old wallhack when taking a CS:S screenshot, similar to hiding the HUD. albert90 explains it's not really possible short of a clunky manual file-swap workaround, and the two go back and forth over several weeks. The thread quickly derails from a technical question into a rambling, joking back-and-forth full of German internet banter, culminating in mock flirting, a fake marriage proposal, and an apple-themed innuendo exchange.
btw: flatsch ich liebe dich... willst du mit mir gehn?— albert90
willst du mein apfel x) der wird sogar rot wenn man ihn anguckt lol ^^— flatschGER
ja ich will ihn...aber ich benutz kondome— albert90
Private Wallhack Request Spirals into Account-Trading Scam Accusations
A guy wanted a 'private' wallhack, got told cheats can't stay private, then things turned into an account-for-hack swap and a scam accusation.
In the German-language 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum, lotus1337 posted a request for a private, undetectable wallhack, offering RapidShare/ESL premium in trade. Other members (aKari, strang0r) mocked the idea that private wallhacks even exist and pivoted the conversation toward trading unbanned Steam/CS:S accounts for hacks instead — with strang0r openly describing wanting account credentials handed over as payment. Regular albert90 ('Cd-Key Dealer of u'r hood') and others chimed in with jokes about their forum debut posts, and later member Sekte advertised a long feature list of a CS:S cheat (no-flash, wallhack, speedhack, bypasses, etc.) in exchange for an unbanned account, only to be accused by strang0r of being an unreliable scammer — a spat that spilled into mutual accusations. Classic mid-2000s cheat-scene bravado, account-trading sketchiness, and forum in-jokes all in one thread.
es gibt keine Private Wallhacks, denk ma logisch nach was bringt es ein Private Wallhack zu haben wenn man hier ein Downloaden kann— aKari
UNSERIS! Ich wrd ihm nich vertrauen, wr auch nich das erste Mal, dass er versucht zu scammen...— strang0r
Ich versuche zu scammen? Was bildest du dir eigentlich ein?— Sekte
Aequitas-Proof Hack for a CS:S Account? German Board Haggles Over Cheat Trading
A CS:S account gets offered in trade for an 'Aequitas-proof' hack, and the German section spends weeks debating whether that's even a fair deal
A German-speaking member on Fkn0wned's 'Deutsche Hacks' board offers a CS:S account or ESL premium in exchange for a hack undetected by Aequitas, the anti-cheat ESL used at the time (considered far stricter than VAC). Other members needle him for asking a lot for so little, then the thread drifts into a casual explainer of what Aequitas-proof even means, how such cheats reportedly get updated to stay ahead of detection, and mentions of the site Source Industries as a place selling this stuff. It ends with a lighthearted jab about the cheat's 'League' vs 'Rager' aimbot settings.
Also für einen cs:s acc nen Aequ Proof priv. Hack zu verlangen is ziemlich dreist...— strang0r
aequitas ist ein von der esl verwendetes programm das 100 mal besser als vac is...— albert90
league steht das man den in LIEGEN benutzen kann....— albert90
Fkn0wned.css h00k Settings & Menu Help (Deutsche Hacks)
German CS:S cheaters trade config tips and the classic 'switch your keyboard to English' menu fix.
A German-speaking member asks for help configuring the Fkn0wned CS:S hook, wanting to know how to disable the aimbot and find 'safer' settings to avoid detection. Another member replies explaining basic config file edits and dismisses ban paranoia, claiming only VAC itself can ban players. A third poster shares an oddball workaround for a broken in-game menu: switching the OS keyboard layout to English, at the cost of scrambled key bindings. Very of-its-era 'Deutsche Hacks' board vibe — casual, all lowercase excitement, emoticons, and total nonchalance about cheating.
niemand auf der welt kann dich auf irgendeine art und weise bannen (kein spieler in css!!)— Swissheadhunt {*CH}
dann waehlst du englische TASTATUR AUS!!!! dann funzt. das menu!!!!!— frederik03121990
CS:S Flashbang Suppression Script Request (Deutsche Hacks)
A lone German noob begs for a flashbang-nullifying CS:S script — and gets told the board's basically a ghost town.
A new member, VoLLtiii, asks in the German-language 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum whether a .cfg script exists to suppress the flashbang (and ideally smoke) effect in Counter-Strike: Source. Regulars albert90 and washingtonpayne engage but can't offer a working script, only pointing toward unrelated 'material' hacks and FPSBanana sprite tweaks. The thread ends on a candid, slightly melancholy note from washingtonpayne admitting the section has gone quiet and that he and albert90 are about the only ones still checking it.
Das Ding is....das Forum hier is n bissl tot.... glaube die Einzigen, die Du hier noch ab und zu treffen wirst, sind albert und ich— washingtonpayne
Das Script sollte sobald es geladen ist, den Flashbang Effekt unterdrcken.— VoLLtiii
Umfrage: Seit ihr aktive Cheater? (German cheating poll)
A German-language poll asked fkn0wned members point-blank: are you still cheating? — most said not anymore.
A short German-language poll thread in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum asking members whether they were currently active cheaters, with options ranging from 'hell yes' to 'not for a long time.' Only a handful of members voted (7 total), with most saying they'd quit a while back. Replies were casual and self-reflective, with one member joking about how obvious it was when other players on their regular server were using wallhacks, and how those players always denied it or blamed lag/teamspeak instead of admitting to cheating.
Verdammt noch mal, JA!
da knnte ich mich immer beeiern— ronald111
Steam Accs :> — German-language cheating beef derails account-sharing thread
A thread meant for sharing Steam accounts devolves into a German-language slap fight over cheating accusations.
Deep into a 6-page thread in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum, the original topic of Steam accounts had long given way to a German-language argument between two members, albert90 and Keskin^, trading accusations about who was really cheating and on which servers. The tone is petty and personal rather than technical, typical of the era's forum beef. Keskin^ is listed as a banned user by this point, suggesting the drama had real consequences.
nur weil du auf nubservern rumlufst keskin....geh doch mal auf pro-pubs....da wirs dann nimmer so leicht... und soweit wir wissen bist du noch immer am cheaten keskin..also— albert90
hahaha, Lg mal nicht du *zensiert beim Juden*. Ich spiel auf Attax Pub oder anderen Mid-Pro Servern.— Keskin^
DoD:S Cheats [Vac proof]
A German member begs for a Day of Defeat: Source cheat — gets pointed to a CS:S hack instead, and someone casually brags about hijacking a Steam account with 19 games
In the German-language 'Deutsche Hacks' corner of Fkn0wned, member aKari asks for a working DoD:S multihack after his usual source (darkcheats) went down. Other members (strang0r, flatschGER) chime in claiming CS:S cheats also work on DoD:S, with flatschGER walking through vague settings tweaks for keeping it subtle. Months later the thread gets bumped when someone asks if the linked hack is still VAC proof — it isn't, it's long detected — and the exchange trails off with 1K Club member anarchie65 casually boasting about stealing a Steam account with 19 games, treated as a minor aside.
der hack ist schon lange detected .. vergiss es ^^ such dir nen css hack ^^— flatschGER
ich hab heute nen steam account mit 19 games gehackt lol! bin überglücklich eheh— anarchie65
Metin2 Hack Request in Deutsche Hacks
A German newbie asks for Metin2 hacks and half the thread has no idea what Metin2 even is
A brand-new member, undertacker92, posts in the German-language 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum asking for any and all hacks for the MMO Metin2, offering to trade contact via ICQ. The request is initially misunderstood due to unclear phrasing, prompting confusion and light ribbing from regulars, several of whom admit they've never even heard of Metin2. The thread meanders into a casual, joking aside about what Metin2 actually is, with one member comparing it to a free, better-looking World of Warcraft played by his classmates, and mentioning a speedhack exists without providing it. Low-effort, low-stakes thread typical of the niche 'Other Games' hack-request corner of the forum.
Deutsche Sprache schwere Sprache?? ich versteh dich iwie nicht— aKari
Mich interessiert was Metin2 berhaupt is Oo— strang0r
und es gibt ein metin 2 speedhack.. habe den auch mal irgendwo gefunden— flatschGER
Wo seid ihr denn Alle!!!!??? — German Mac vs Windows banter
A German 'where'd everybody go' thread devolves into a full-on Mac vs. Windows slapfight.
This thread in the German-language subforum of Fkn0wned.com started as a check-in ('where is everybody?') but by page 4 had turned into a lighthearted but heated Mac-versus-Windows argument among German members. Users traded jabs about Apple's OS supposedly copying Windows, with links and broken English/German banter. Typical low-stakes off-topic bickering that filled the quiet spells of a niche cheat-scene community's foreign-language corner.
Apple ist total zurck geblieben, Windows FTW.— Keskin^
wer musste den bei apple fr ihr neustes betriebsystem abgucken ? windows— flatschGER
wenn es nie windows 1.0 gegeben htte, htten die MAC macher auch nicht mal nen ansatz einer idee was sie machen sollten....— albert90
Private CS 1.6/CZ Hack Hunt Devolves Into Xfire Ghosting Saga
A guy hunting a 'league-safe' private cheat gets tangled in Xfire drama instead of ever getting the goods
In this 2007 thread on the German-language 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum, member hArDy.exe asks around for a private Counter-Strike 1.6/CZ cheat with a laundry list of wanted features, insisting it be undetectable and 'league-safe' for competitive play. Sekte offers to help but the conversation devolves into a slow-motion saga of missed Xfire adds, ghosting, and mild excuses ('I have a life too'), while other members chime in with skepticism about cheating in leagues. It never really resolves — hArDy.exe is still 'suche noch immer' (still looking) by the thread's end.</br>
will damit liga zocken!— hArDy.exe
Ja, sry... Aber ich habe auch RL. ;>— Sekte
Hacks in Ligen? Low~— Keskin^
Blinking Black/Red Custom Crosshair Tutorial (CS 1.6)
A German member shares a homemade blinking black-to-red crosshair config for CS 1.6 — mild interest, one guy asks for a CS:S port.
In the 'Deutsche Hacks' corner of Fkn0wned, member Keskin^ posted a small German-language tutorial for a custom crosshair that flashes from black to red when firing in Counter-Strike 1.6, complete with before/after screenshots hosted on ImageShack. The thread got a handful of low-key replies — a shrug of approval, some joking skepticism from albert90, and a request from flatschGER to see the effect ported to CS:Source, which Keskin^ said he might try. Overall a quiet, casual little customization thread typical of the low-traffic 'Other Games > Deutsche Hacks' subforum.
Ich wollte schon immer ein "blinkendes" Crosshair haben also hab ich bisschen rumgebastelt.— Keskin^
wie wrs wenn dies auch in css geht : D— flatschGER
ne ich glaub nicht— albert90
German Warez Sites Thread devolves into 'Pen0r' semantics debate
Seven pages of Germans arguing about warez sites and, somehow, whether 'Pen0r' means 'Penis'
This was the tail end of a long-running German-language thread in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum where members swapped chatter about warez sites. By page 7 the actual topic had mostly dissolved into off-topic banter, including a nitpicky back-and-forth over leetspeak slang ('Pen0r' vs 'pen1s'). A newer member thanks the group and says he'll check things out, showing the thread still served its original purpose for lurkers even as regulars derailed it.
Pen0r = Penis? Da passt was nicht.— Keskin^
pen1s = Penis!— Keskin^
vielen danK;) werde mal durchchecken— emre71
Steam Community [German Thread]
German members chit-chat about the new Steam Community rollout — and low-key roast each other's typing tics along the way
A casual German-language thread in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum where members discuss the then-new Steam Community feature, debating whether it was an improvement over the beta, complaining about load times and resource usage, and briefly touching on the fact that friend-based account theft was no longer possible. The conversation quickly drifts into lighthearted banter between albert90 and flatschGER, plus a few members asking basic questions about profile privacy settings and forum point systems. Overall a low-stakes, friendly hangout thread rather than anything dramatic — just regulars passing time and half-jokingly picking each other apart.
Also meiner meinung nach is es voll toll... Einige von euch werden traurig sein das man nicht mehr accounts ber friends klauen kann..aber mir ist das wurscht— albert90
ich bin ein psycho-genie.....— albert90
bin fast immer neben der spur ^^ aber ohne drogen xD— flatschGER
28 Weeks Later
German members argue about zombie-movie realism, contrast filters, and whether a download link is worth the risk
A casual off-topic thread in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum where member aKari shares clips and a download link for the horror film '28 Weeks Later', sparking a lighthearted back-and-forth in German about the movie's visual style, its 'realism', and whether it's worth downloading. The tone is chatty and low-stakes, with some ribbing between regulars and a passing mention of aKari hitting his 200th post. Typical of the forum's Other Games / Deutsche Hacks corner where German-speaking members hung out for casual chat rather than hacking talk.
der film schein ja vor realismus zu platzen^^— albert90
haste angst mhh???— aKari
ich finde ihn so lala— albert90
28 Weeks Later & 28 Days Later movie share thread
A German-language board gets its horror-flick fix — in English, naturally, and someone had to point that out.
In this 2007 thread from the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum, member anarchie65 posted Rapidshare download links for the films '28 Weeks Later' and '28 Days Later,' both in English despite the board being German-speaking. This sparked some light teasing from aKari about posting English content in a German forum, met with self-deprecating humor from anarchie65. The thread devolves into friendly banter, a running joke about 'therapy,' and a brief debate on whether English or German movie dubs are superior, with albert90 backing anarchie65's side. It's a small, casual slice of the community's file-sharing culture and easy camaraderie.
frage?? du postest es in Deutschen forum aber verlinkst den Film in englischer sprache????— aKari
filme auf englisch sind eh 2 mal besser als auf deutsch!— albert90
mhh ich kann dich THerapieren ??— aKari
geiler tausch! (Deutsche Hacks trade thread)
A German member offers to trade his private CS:S hacks for Steam accounts — cue the usual leak drama.
In this German-language corner of Fkn0wned's 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum, member anarchie65 announces he's now willing to trade his private hacks in exchange for Steam accounts, not just Rapidshare premium accounts, and insists (half-jokingly) that he won't scam anyone. A few members chime in asking what games/accounts he's after, one CS:CZ user tries to strike a deal via Xfire, and another member notes his own hacks were already leaked before this thread's offer even mattered. It's a small, casual back-and-forth typical of the era's account/hack barter economy, ending on a slightly deflated note when anarchie65 admits his stash got leaked.
eins mach ich sicher nicht, Betrgen! bei mir luft alles ehrlich ab.— anarchie65
alle private hacks, die ich hatte sind ja schon wieder geleaked worden mann!— anarchie65
da ich die schon etwas frher habe als die hier erscheinen— flatschGER
German Mix-Thread: Christmas Chat & the '1000 Club' Laptop Joke
The German crew's dumping-ground thread: Christmas plans, snowboard trips, and inside jokes about a mysterious '1000 Club' laptop.
This was the catch-all 'Mix-Thread' in the Deutsche Hacks sub-board, where German-speaking members chatted about whatever didn't fit elsewhere. In this stretch of posts from December 2007, the conversation drifted to Christmas plans and a running joke about a legendary laptop tied to the site's '1000 Club' rank, with members bantering about its supposed rarity and perks. It's a low-key, casual slice of the community's off-topic culture rather than any cheat or drama thread.
das geilste am 1000 club sind ja wohl die rs prem accounts!! dieser laptops ist schon ein guter junge mann!!— LoRd Ragealot
Der Laptops ist ne raritt.— Keskin^
Hitbox Hack? (Deutsche Hacks CS:S Thread)
A German CS:S player asks if a hitbox-viewing hack still exists — sparks a tiny debate about rates vs. hacks
In the German-language 'Deutsche Hacks' corner of Fkn0wned.com, member flatschGER asks in October 2007 whether any hack still exists that lets you see enemy hitboxes, lamenting that hacks for this seem to have dried up. Regular albert90 replies that with proper net settings (rate/cmdrate/updaterate/interpolation) the hitboxes already line up correctly on the target, making a visual hack pointless and just an FPS drain. flatschGER clarifies he specifically wants to see the hitboxes visually, and the two go back and forth briefly before the thread fizzles out. It's a small, low-drama support-style exchange typical of the section's day-to-day cheat chatter.
wollte mal fragen ob es viellt nur ein hitbox hack gibt .. gibt ja keine hacks mehr mit denen zurzeit ^^— flatschGER
die zerren nur deine fps runter— albert90
Super Mario
A guy just wanted to relive Super Mario 64 on his PC — cue the eMule and Rapidshare rescue squad.
A short, sleepy German-language thread in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum of Fkn0wned's Other Games section. Member Keskin^ asks where to download a Super Mario 64 PC emulator after getting nostalgic from YouTube videos. Fellow member albert90 offers to dig up a copy via eMule, virus-scan it, and upload it to Rapidshare — classic mid-2000s file-sharing helpfulness. Nothing dramatic, just a small slice of old-school forum camaraderie around retro gaming.
Also weiss wer wo ich das downloaden kann? Heisst Super Mario 64 Emulator oder so— Keskin^
hab was in einem p2p netzwerk gefunden (emule) wenns fertig is werd ich es noch schnell mit virustotal scannen und dann wenns clean is bei rs hochladen— albert90
Deutsche Hacks Board: Keskin Drama
A German-language spat over a forum troll called Keskin turns into a running joke about a '12-year-old kid' wearing out everyone's nerves.
This is a late thread (pages 4-5) from the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum, the German-language corner of Fkn0wned's Other Games section. The visible posts are mostly bickering between regulars albert90 and aKari about another user, Keskin, who was apparently spamming or derailing topics across the forum. The tone is exasperated but joking, typical of a small national sub-community venting about a persistent annoyance rather than any cheat-related content itself.
keskin...bitte...ich werd langsam mde von deinem shit...— albert90
12 Jhriges Kidchen = Keskin^ Keskin owned unsere NERVEN— aKari
CsproMod - Free Download Thread
A German member shares a buggy new CS mod, then gets called out for uploading it to the wrong host
In this 2008 thread from the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum, member aKari shares a download of CsproMod, an early Counter-Strike mod, describing it as fun despite bugs and giving brief setup notes. Fellow member albert90 corrects a technical detail (it only requires Source, not 1.6) and calls out aKari for uploading the mod to a rapidshare-style host instead of the official CsproMod site, noting the developers had specifically asked people not to mirror it so they could track download numbers. aKari apologizes and follows up with a direct link to the official file. A small, low-drama exchange typical of the German-language corner of the forum.
hast das du bei rs raufgeladen!!?? die haben extra darum gebenten es nirgendwo raufzuladen weil sie schauen wollen wie viele leute das spiel saugen...— albert90
mmmh tut mir leid :8 ich wusste das nicht mensch ich weiss doch auch nicht alles— aKari
BF2 Hacks (Deutsche Hacks)
A one-post-wonder asks if MSX's free BF2 hacks are legit — and gets told to just Google it
A German-language thread in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum where a brand-new member (one post to their name) asks whether free undetected Battlefield 2 hacks, specifically from 'msx security', are trustworthy or a scam. Regulars respond with a mix of sarcasm ('gooogle.com??') and pointers toward the forum's own BF2 download section, while a couple of posters chime in comparing paid VIP hack sellers on price. Classic small-thread energy: low effort question, veteran members mildly ribbing a newbie, and casual plugs for the scene's usual hack vendors.
hi leute, ich suche free undetected hacks fr bf2 wie zb nametags oder so. Die hacks von msx secrurity sind die sicher oder is das nur abzieherei?— diamantman

Neferty VIP crash on custom maps (CS:S) — Deutsche Hacks support thread
German user's CS:S cheat kept crashing on custom maps — turned out Steam's own update was the real culprit
A short German-language support thread in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum where user flatschGER asks for help after his Neferty VIP cheat client crashes Counter-Strike: Source specifically on custom maps, despite a fresh reinstall of Windows, Steam, and the game. Five days later he replies that he solved it himself, concluding a Steam beta/update broke compatibility with the cheat (causing an hl2 error), not his setup. Fellow member albert90 chimes in with a one-word laugh, and flatschGER shrugs it off. A tiny, mundane slice of the era's constant cheat-vs-anticheat-update cat and mouse.
hat sich erledigt ^^ wegen dem neuen steam update oder der beta version konnte man den hack nicht nehmen— flatschGER
haha...!!— albert90
na und ^^— flatschGER
hoh_pub 2.1 Insert Key Fix (Deutsche Hacks Support Thread)
A German member couldn't get his cheat menu to open — turns out it was just the Insert key, and he was on a buggy version anyway
A short German-language support thread from the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum, where user Norix complained his hoh_pub_2.1 hack wouldn't work in Counter-Strike: Source — no crosshair changes, no in-game console popping up. Nine days later, flatschGER replied with the fix (the console binding was the Insert key) and suggested upgrading to version 2.2 since 2.1 was known to have a bug. A tiny, mundane exchange typical of the era's cheat-support culture, where users traded fixes for hack tools in broken German across near-dead forum sections.
weiss jemand wie man die kacke am laufen kriegt ?— Norix
insert = einfg taste solltest dir aber den 2.2 nehmen da in der 2.1 nen bug drinne ist O.o— flatschGER
Deutsche Hacks: 'suche paar gute hacks' thread
A German newbie wanders into fkn0wned asking for undetected WH/ESP, no aimbot needed.
A short, low-key thread in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum where a brand-new member (joined days earlier) introduces himself in German, apologizes for his English, and asks for recommendations on a reliable wallhack or ESP that stays undetected — explicitly saying he doesn't need an aimbot. One of the board's more established members, a 'Pro Spammer' with 500+ posts, chimes in recommending a specific tool as the best around at the time. It's a small snapshot of the site's international, German-speaking corner and the casual cheat-request culture typical of the era.
suche paar gute hacks , gutes wh oder eps? was proof ist und nich entdeckt wurden ist! aimbot brauch das nich^^— nopel
der neue HLH ist der bester hack im oment..— stealthf1
Suche Travian Bugs oder Cheats
Someone actually asked for cheats... for a browser game about farming villages.
A short, low-effort German-language thread in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum where a new member (2 posts) asked if anyone knew of bugs or cheats for the browser strategy game Travian. Established members quickly mocked the request as absurd, with one saying he 'couldn't keep up' anymore and another laughing that people were now asking for exploits in a browser game. No actual cheats or bugs were shared.
was das schon wieder...man ich komm nimmer mit...— albert90
LOL eh das wird hier immer geiler xDDD jetz wollen die schon Cheats und Exploits fr n Browserspiel xDDDDD aaargh wie geil is das denn? xD— washingtonpayne
Avatar Upload Trouble (German Subforum Banter)
A guy named PornoSalih just wanted to upload a picture, and the German corner of Fkn0wned turned it into a whole bit
A one-post member, PornoSalih, asks in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum why he can't upload a Flickr image as his avatar despite resizing it to 150x150 as instructed. Regulars albert90 and flatschGER reply mostly in jest, joking about being too scared to click the link, riffing on a random 'to-do list' signature, and eventually pointing him to an image host (imageshack) as the simple fix. It's a tiny, mundane tech-support thread, notable mainly as a slice of everyday small-talk in the site's German-language section rather than for any drama.
hmm...bin nocht nicht auf den link gegangen...hab angst davor— albert90
lad das bild bei imagahack rauf und dann gibts dus einfach hier rein..is doch net so schwer— albert90
Ungültiger CD-Key (Opposing Force Steam Activation Issue)
A German member's Opposing Force CD key won't activate on Steam — cue the confusion and half-answers.
A short German-language thread in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum where user ronald111 asks why his original Half-Life: Opposing Force CD key (from a Game of the Year edition) is rejected as invalid when trying to register a new Steam account, even though his HL and CS keys from the same box worked fine. Fellow member flatschGER chimes in with some troubleshooting suggestions, including a link, and there's a bit of back-and-forth clarifying the account wasn't stolen — just a legitimate activation snag. A pretty mundane, everyday tech-support exchange typical of the German corner of the forum.
der account wurde nicht gestohlen... ich wollte ja...— ronald111
key ist ungültig...— ronald111
