Counter Strike 1.6 Mega Edition Download Thread

A RapidShare link, a bot claim, and two dozen 'ty' replies — peak 2007 forum culture in one thread.

A member named NrgRigo posted a link to a supposed non-Steam Counter-Strike 1.6 'Mega Edition' package hosted on RapidShare, claiming it included an offline bot and required no serial. The thread ran from October 2007 into March 2008, with a long tail of members simply dropping in to say thanks, confirm it worked, or ask to have the hidden download link revealed. It's a classic Red Light District warez-sharing thread from Fkn0wned.Com — low on discussion, high on drive-by gratitude posts, showing the site's role as a casual file-sharing hub for pirated games.

Hi guys,i've found this on web,it's Counter Strike 1.6 non-steam,very astute bot in offline mode,and don't need serial.— NrgRigo

wow nice find, thx— destman

234 Game Keygens Mega-List Thread

One thread, 234 games, and at least 4 confirmed trojans — classic 2007 Fkn0wned.

A 2007 thread in the Red Light District's Games subforum where user HaSh posted a massive list of 234 PC games (everything from Battlefield and Half-Life to The Sims and Harry Potter titles) alongside a keygen pack. The thread quickly filled with short one-line replies — thanks, skepticism, and a memorable report from another member whose antivirus flagged a trojan bundled in the download. It's a good snapshot of the era's warez-sharing culture: sprawling game lists, casual trust in sketchy downloads, and the ever-present malware risk that came with them.

lol i found 4 trojans on this...— xnarath

[NEW GAMES] HOT! :) — the Overlord private server drop thread

One guy named Exover posted a giant list of hot games and the thread lived on for over 100 replies of pure 'ty unhide plz'

A member named Exover started a thread in the Games sub-board of the Red Light District section listing a batch of then-current PC games and titles (things like Postal 2, Battlefield 2142, the Half-Life 2 episodes, TF2, Portal, World of Warcraft and its Burning Crusade expansion, Battlefront 2, Transformers, and Need For Speed: Carbon) tied to an 'Overlord' private server. The replies are the real artifact here: page after page of one-line 'thanks', 'unhide', 'ty', and 'nice' posts from dozens of members over several months (running from late 2007 into early 2008), the classic warez-board ritual of bumping/unlocking hidden content by replying. It's less a discussion than a monument to forum culture — a long tail of low-effort gratitude posts from a wide cross-section of the community.

im ur hero— WareZor - VirusZor ;)

Wow!!! I definitely gonna try one of ur games dat u post.— Flare124

100 Full GaMeZ - Direct Download Linkz Megathread

One user, one marathon post: a full-on 2000s warez dump of a hundred cracked PC games in a single thread.

Posted in the Red Light District > Games section, this was a classic mid-2000s piracy megathread where a member calling themselves 'w4r3z Fr34k' compiled dozens of full PC game downloads with screenshots, GameSpot info links, and matching crack files, all hosted across mirrors like RapidShare and various free file hosts. The list spanned everything from Hitman and Tomb Raider to GTA San Andreas, Resident Evil 4, and obscure early-2000s titles like Reservoir Dogs and Busdriver 2007. It's a pure snapshot of the era's file-sharing culture — sprawling link lists, .rar splits, NFO credits, and the constant low hum of dead RapidShare links waiting to happen.

Portable Non-Steam CS 1.6 Release with Cracked Servers

247mb of cracked CS 1.6 nostalgia, complete with 2400 dead servers and a fanbase asking if the wallhack still worked

A release thread in the Red Light District > Games section where member l3m0nz shared a repackaged, no-Steam-required build of Counter-Strike 1.6, bundled with a huge list of cracked servers and modded weapon models. The post included mirror links, an update log, and even a YouTube install tutorial made by another member. Replies were short and appreciative, with a couple of members casually asking about pairing it with hacks — pretty typical for the era and the board it lived in.

thx man <3 and your wallhack is the bomb too— mircomania92

and do the hacks work on this version to.— artemis

Mega-Thread: All Tony Hawk Games

The classic 'here's the entire Tony Hawk franchise, no waiting' thread that everybody said thanks in

A Games sub-forum mega-thread in the Red Light District section where user Guru compiled a batch of Tony Hawk skateboarding games with box art screenshots, hosted for direct download with 'no waiting times' (a dig at slow file-host services common at the time). The thread ran for two pages and became a low-effort but beloved reply-farm, with dozens of members simply dropping 'thanks', 'unhide', or excited one-liners over several months in late 2007. It's a snapshot of the era's warez-sharing culture — nostalgia game bundles, Xfire tags in every signature, and a community happy to bump a thread just to say cheers.

All the tonyhawk games? Awsome!^^ *All of them downloaded*— InzaneHacker

I never played tony hawk's pro skater 2 before ill try it— blackxthink

WoW: The Burning Crusade RapidShare download thread

22 RapidShare parts, a decade of 'unhide plz', and one guy screaming you needed a CD key anyway

A 2007 post in Gametration's Red Light District > Games subforum offering a full copy of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade split across RapidShare and Megaupload mirrors. The thread ran for nearly a year, filling up with hundreds of low-effort 'thanks', 'unhide', and 'ty' replies typical of warez-board bumping, plus a few dead-link reports, mirror complaints, and one poster pointing out the obvious problem of needing a legit key to actually play. It's a classic snapshot of the mid-2000s piracy forum grind, where hoarding rare downloads and farming reply credit were the whole game.

THIS IS THE DUMBS THING EVERY OK U NEED A KEY SO G...— semajxpl

WoW mirrors are way faster.— rhion82

Portal (2007) Download Thread

A hidden Portal download link that had regulars saying 'thanks' for months on end.

This was a warez-sharing thread in the Red Light District > Games section where a member posted a RapidShare link to the game Portal (2007), likely behind a hidden/spoiler tag as was standard practice on the forum. The bulk of the visible content is the classic 'unhide/thanks' ritual: members replying just to reveal the hidden link and post gratitude, keeping the thread bumped for months from November 2007 into February 2008. It's a low-drama, high-traffic utility thread typical of the era's cheat/warez forums, valued purely for the download rather than discussion.

Oh fuck, unhide please. Epic.— kool boogmenot

really old bump— Absurd

unhide— BlueBandit

Portal [NON STEAM] - RapidShare Warez Thread

Someone cracked Valve's brand-new puzzle game onto RapidShare in pieces before most people even had Steam accounts to buy it legit.

Posted just days after Portal's official 2007 release, this thread in the Red Light District's Games subforum offered a non-Steam, RapidShare-hosted copy of the game split into multiple parts. It ran for over a month, racking up dozens of low-effort 'thx'/'unhide' replies typical of warez threads, plus a request for a missing part 7 and some good-natured ribbing about people not having $50 to buy the real thing. Uploader NutterNZ, a well-known Retired Supervisor with 1000+ posts, was thanked repeatedly and treated as the thread's MVP.

Lol at the people without $50— chooken

Nutterz is teh m4n— Jack Bauer

my friend said he almost puked playing this game— abstract1337

Crysis Early-Release Warez Thread (Razor1911)

Someone dumped a scene-release copy of Crysis before it even hit shelves — and yeah, they warned you your PC couldn't handle it.

A 2007 post in the Red Light District > Games subforum shares an early/cracked release of Crysis attributed to the Razor1911 scene group, complete with game blurb, install notes, and a wall of hidden Rapidshare/Netload/FileFactory/Megashares download links split across dozens of parts. It's a classic piracy-board post from the era of part-RAR downloads and disposable file hosts, capped with the poster's dry joke about regretting not saving for a better PC. A quick reply from a regular follows, but the thread is mostly the release post itself.

Install and regret that you didnt save money to buy a new pc!— Janza

Ah, the sweet scent of crackers and hackers alike. Enjoy— Janza

Please Read This Before Posting - Entertainment Section Rules

The rulebook for fkn0wned's shady 'Games' subforum — read or get warned, repeat or get banned.

A pinned rules post by Shifty (an early, high-numbered member with a huge post count) laying out formatting and conduct requirements for the Games board under the Red Light District category. It spells out a warning/ban system for posts lacking proper titles, descriptions, hidden download links, or that involve requesting, spamming, disrespect, or complaining. The tone is classic mid-2000s forum moderation: strict, transactional, and gated toward paying 'donators' for extra privileges.

Welcome to Fkn0wned.com - We Moderate Your Fun!

NO complaining. Be grateful of what is posted. If you want private passwords/media, join the donators.— Shifty

iPod Click-Wheel Games Warez Pack (2007)

A guy calling himself 'Lord PostAlotWarez' spent hours cracking every iPod click-wheel game so you didn't have to.

A December 2007 post from prolific 1000-Club member LoRd Ragealot dumping a full set of cracked iPod click-wheel games (Pacman, Tetris, Bejeweled, Zuma, Texas Hold'Em, SAT prep apps, a 'Lost' TV tie-in game, etc.) with firmware downgrade and installation guidance for 5G/5.5G iPods. It's less about the actual games and more a snapshot of the mid-2000s iPod modding/warez culture that thrived on sites like Gametration, tucked oddly into the 'Red Light District > Games' section. Credit is also given to other scene names (Diobert, Mr. Gecko) for hosting and packaging some of the files.

Sweet way of getting the games plz post back. Enjoy it.— LoRd Ragealot

AKA "Lord PostAlotWarez"— LoRd Ragealot

New Posting Rules for the Red Light District (Games)

The day the mods got tired of chaos and locked the warez board down with strict thread formatting rules

A moderator named Rockforce posted a rules announcement for the 'Red Light District' games subforum, describing it as a 'clusterfuck within a clusterfuck' and laying out mandatory formatting for topic titles and reply posts. The new system required a specific thread-naming convention and mandated that download links be wrapped in code and hide tags. It's a classic piece of forum housekeeping lore — the kind of janitorial announcement thread that shows how these warez sections tried to keep some order amid the mess.

Well folks, the red light forum looks like a giant clusterfuck within a clusterfuck, so there are new rules you have to follow— Rockforce

Call of Duty 4 Megashare Link Thread

A single megashare link for CoD4 kept this thread alive for six pages of thank-yous and 'unhide' spam.

A November 2007 post by member Afteryou dropped a Megashare download link for Call of Duty 4 in the Red Light District's Games subforum, and the thread ran for six pages mostly full of one-word thanks, requests to 'unhide' the link, and a handful of complaints about Megashare's free download cap. There's a flicker of drama when a member asks Afteryou why he'd previously been banned, and Afteryou shuts the question down without explanation. By the later pages the replies have turned into a mechanical parade of the forum's 'Warn System' signatures alongside terse 'ty' posts, typical of a long-running download thread on its way to being buried by bumps.

Not being a dick but that does not concern you— Afteryou

fuck megashare i can only download 250mb unless i pay for more thnx but no thnx— mermaid00

sick, man thanks a lot and i see youve been unbanned, afteryou. im kinda curious, why were you banned in the first place?— SDJH2982

Halo 2 XP Patch Thread

Ancient thread of guys still bumping a Halo 2 XP patch link nearly a year after it dropped

This is the tail end of a long-running Games subforum thread sharing an 'official site' Halo 2 XP patch, originally posted mid-2007. By the time these final posts roll in (late 2007 into January 2008), the thread has become a slow trickle of members thanking the original poster, confirming the download still worked, and asking why part of the post was hidden. It's a low-drama, functional thread typical of file-sharing sections on old cheat/warez forums — mostly one-line bumps and gratitude rather than discussion.

still working i hope— abstract1337

ty, lookin for this— Ray Teh Ak

Why is it hidden??— drafter

The 1000+ CD Key List Thread

A 12-page megathread of pure loot-drop energy — everybody just wanted a key and said thanks and left.

This was the tail end (page 12) of a long-running 'Red Light District > Games' thread offering a massive list of CD keys for 1000+ games, a classic warez-forum staple. By this point the thread had devolved into a scroll of one-line replies from members grabbing keys, saying thanks, or reporting a key was already used/'need a deex' (dead). It ran from early 2007 into 2008, pulling in a steady trickle of low-post-count members alongside a few forum regulars, showing how these mega-lists kept threads alive for over a year just on drive-by gratitude posts.

ty— herbaltea

have a deex— Greengnome

MINE— killswitch101

Halo 2 Vista Full Game Share Thread

Four pages of 'thanks bro' for a pirated Halo 2 Vista port, straight from the Red Light District.

A long-running thread in the Games sub-board under Red Light District where someone shared the full Halo 2 Vista game, followed by dozens of members dropping quick thank-you replies over months (late 2007 into early 2008). The page captures the tail end of the thread's life, page 3 of 4, mostly one-liners of gratitude with little discussion beyond that. A couple of the posters later show up marked as Banned, a common fate on this forum. It's a snapshot of classic warez-sharing thread culture rather than any real conversation.

cool,thx ive been looking 4 dis game.— Flare124

thanks fluff man +10 cool points— ttocszed

Seems to sound like it works?— sanjuro3456

BioShock Download Thread (Rapidshare, 2007)

One Romanian member drops a BioShock link and half the forum just says 'ty' for three months straight.

A simple file-sharing post in the Red Light District's Games subforum, where member Nur5 shared a Rapidshare download for BioShock (2007). The thread ran from September through December 2007 and is almost entirely a chain of one-word 'thanks' replies, unhide requests, and a couple of members mentioning they'd heard good things about the game before playing it. Nothing dramatic happened — it's a snapshot of the era's casual, low-effort warez-sharing culture where gratitude posts kept threads alive for months.

heard this game was good letz hope it is ty— olie22

Good to see ppl appreciate.. Thanks all— Nur5

woah ty my friend's been telling me how good this game is— KhyLisOnFire

Unreal Tournament (1999) Share Thread

sweetkilla drops the OG 1999 Unreal Tournament in the warez bin, and the mums-basement crowd loses it

A Red Light District > Games thread on Fkn0wned.Com where user sweetkilla posted a hidden download link for Unreal Tournament, later confirmed to be the original 1999 release. The rest of the page is the classic hidden-content ritual: a long chain of members posting 'unhide' just to reveal the link, with a few genuine thanks and some excited nostalgia over it being the '99 edition rather than a sequel. Purely a file-sharing/gratitude thread with no real drama, just the everyday texture of the forum's warez culture.

The first? The 1999 edition? Holy shit, I'm hoping it's... [EDIT] YES IT IS Downloading it, I love you sweetkilla <3— AddiKT1ve

Yep it is 1999 edition HAVE FUN!— sweetkilla

hide......i mean unhide— $exil

Battlefield 2 *2 Links* (No-DVD Download Thread)

A guy named Afteryou drops two Battlefield 2 links and the thread turns into a 3-month chorus of 'ty'

A simple file-share thread in the Red Light District's Games sub-board, where user Afteryou posted a Battlefield 2 download (framed around a No-DVD crack) via a couple of mirror links back in November 2007. The thread then became a long-running catch-all for members to bump, say thanks, ask for unhides, or gripe about broken links well into January 2008 — a very typical warez-board thread of the era. One user even accused the site of being 'fake' after a redirect issue, showing the low-stakes drama that came with these download threads.

omfg.Ban him!!!This webs is fake— F.E.A.R.

2 links w00t tnx0rz— Tundergun

finaly no .torrent.... i hope— adam-buster

Mobile games

A guy dumps a pile of downloaded mobile games in 2007, and half the forum just shows up to say 'thx' and 'unhide'

In late 2007, member banak posted a share of mobile games in the Red Light District's Games subforum, noting they mostly worked across phones but screen sizes might not fit right. The thread ballooned into dozens of short replies over the following weeks and into January 2008, mostly members thanking the poster, asking to 'unhide' the content, or hoping their specific phone model would run the games. It's a classic low-effort warez-share thread of the era, capturing the casual file-sharing culture of the forum rather than any real discussion or drama.

I've downloaded alot of mobile games. They allmost work on all mobiles but the screen maybe not fit though— banak

cool, hope they work on my slivr— truce07

I Hope this have Mr.Bean Racing!— {}JuNNeZ{}

Counter-Strike: Condition Zero RapidShare Share Thread

A guy named pato drops a RapidShare full install of Condition Zero and half the forum just says 'ty' for four months straight

A classic Fkn0wned warez-share post: member 'pato' of the GFX Crew posted a hidden (password-locked) RapidShare link set for a full Counter-Strike: Condition Zero 2-CD install, sourced from a site called ZonaPirata.net. The thread became one of those long-running 'unhide/ty' bump chains typical of the Red Light District > Games board, running from July 2007 into December that year, with dozens of members dropping in just to say thanks or ask to unhide the content. By November, at least one poster noted the RapidShare links had already died, a common fate for these old file-hosting shares.

Comes with counterstrike 1.6 CD1— pato

unhide ty?— logik92

EDIT: links are dead— retarded_elephant69

Cool game links

New guy dumps a pile of pirated game torrents just to avoid looking like a leech — then panics and asks how to delete it

A newer member, l3g0, posted a list of TPB torrent links for games like GTA San Andreas, GTA 3, KOTOR, Football Manager 2008, and COD 4, mainly to prove he wasn't just leeching off the forum. Another member (ri0t) politely pointed out it was already posted in the right sub-forum (Red Light District), and a couple of people thanked him for the KOTOR links anyway. l3g0 then asked if the duplicate thread could be deleted so he wouldn't get in trouble — a small, very of-its-era moment of forum etiquette anxiety.

hey, only really got my accoutn and dont wanna be seen as a leacher so thought id post some good game links up for any1 who wants to dload lol— l3g0

is there a way of deleting this thread? dont wanna get in trouble for 2 threads that are the same:P— l3g0

umm....It is the wrong forum. Your looking for the red-lights district. But thankyou for contributing anyway.— ri0t

Hellgate: London!! (Red Light District > Games)

prefeK drops a full-game link for Hellgate: London and forty members line up just to say thanks and beg for an unhide

A 2007 post in the Red Light District's Games sub-board where regular prefeK shared a download for the RPG/shooter Hellgate: London, admitting he hadn't even played it himself but had heard it was good. The thread ballooned into a long, low-effort chain of 'thx', 'nice', and 'unhide please' replies stretching into 2008, with a few members debating whether the game even worked online without an account, and a couple worrying the links were already dead. It's a classic warez-board artifact: less discussion, more a queue of members bumping for access.

Haven't tried, but I heard it's an awesome game. Hurry before links go dead!!!— prefeK

dont tell me its dead— mcmag4

idk if it still works but lets try— soad11789

3D Sex Villa v3.4 bump thread

Page 3 of a horny little download thread that somehow ran forever and got tagged '-1 rep' for it

A late-stage page of a long-running Red Light District thread sharing the adult simulation game '3D Sex Villa v3.4', mostly consisting of members dropping in months apart just to say thanks, laugh, or bump the topic. By this point (early 2008) the thread had clearly outlived its original purpose, with regulars noting it was an old classic resurfacing and one member razzing everyone for still checking it. Pure low-effort bump culture typical of a warez/adult-content subforum, more notable for its longevity than any actual discussion.

HAHAHAH i havent see this in a long time— Yangsta

lol you guys have NO lives— Marc347

Bow Chica Bow Wow— lowhailfire

Drug Lord 2.0 (Rapidshare) - Games sharing thread

Someone dropped a decade-old text-based drug dealing sim in the warez board and the whole thread just chilled out about it

A member named asshoel50 shared a download for 'Drug Lord 2.0,' an old text-based drug dealing simulator, in the Red Light District's Games subforum. The replies are low-key and casual — a mix of 'sounds fun,' a report of an install error, and a couple of members who actually tried it and gave it a thumbs up. A minor aside sees banak ribbing another member ('jobanak') about screenshots, and a late reply from blackxthink (posted 'Yesterday') just says 'omg lol,' showing this thread stayed lightly bumped over time.

Fight and sell your way to the biggest rank : DRUG LORD!— asshoel50

you are a bitch, when it comes to screenshots— banak

played it..its a fun game played for about 30mins lol— l3g0

[RS]Halo Series - single-player uploads (Halo: CE & Halo 2 PC)

Staff member shares Halo & Halo 2 PC for the XP kids stuck without Vista — 'HELL YEAH' indeed.

A 2008 post in the 'Red Light District > Games' board where staff member hunterbrute224, self-described as a huge Halo fan, shared single-player copies of Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 PC, including a patch to get Halo 2 running on Windows XP. He was explicit that multiplayer wouldn't work. A handful of regulars (sanjuro3456, XyHavix, Blaqk) dropped in with quick thanks and props, giving it a casual, low-drama, appreciative vibe typical of file-share threads on the forum.

I am, as you might know, a HUGE halo fan, these are my 2 most favorite PC games.— hunterbrute224

Brute ftw.— XyHavix

Nice one Hunterbrute!!! I shall DL Halo now.— sanjuro3456

GTA: San Andreas Compressed Download Thread (2007)

A 2007 file-share post for a compressed GTA: San Andreas rip that quietly racked up six pages of 'thanks mate'

A member named hEndr!x posted a compressed (671MB) copy of GTA: San Andreas along with an install tutorial link, filed oddly under the 'Red Light District > Games' section of Gametration.com's forums. The rest of the thread is mostly other members dropping by to say thanks or give quick one-word replies, typical of the site's file-sharing culture. Nothing dramatic happens here — it's a low-stakes, high-traffic download thread of the kind that filled early cheat/warez forums, notable mainly as a time capsule of that era's community norms and slang.

Thanks mate!— SheepyMilk

awesome— soad11789

thanks alot— babycurt

World In Conflict [RAPIDSHIT]

Peski-Ruski drops a cracked copy of World in Conflict, and the thread turns into a roll call of 'ty' posts and one guy roasted for his -17 forum points

A 2007 post in the Red Light District > Games section shared a copy of Massive Entertainment's Cold War RTS World in Conflict, tagged with the classic '[RAPIDSHIT]' label denoting a RapidShare-hosted warez upload. The thread is mostly a string of members thanking the poster, with a small side exchange where Peski-Ruski razzes another user for having a deeply negative forum reputation score before confirming the release was a cracked version. Typical low-drama download-thread vibe of the era, notable mainly as a time capsule of how pirated game releases circulated on fkn0wned.

LOL dude you're at -15 points how's you manage that?— Peski-Ruski

It's a cracked version...— Peski-Ruski

zomg he is at -17 points how do u get minus point any way thanks can you play online with this ?— minitureman

[RS.com] Call of Duty 4 (ISO+Crack) — Tested & Working thread

The old warez thread where half the board just dropped by to say 'thanx' and 'nice'

A multi-page thread in the Red Light District > Games board sharing a RapidShare-hosted copy of Call of Duty 4 with a crack, claimed by the OP to be tested and working. The bulk of the surviving pages are just a long trail of members bumping the thread with one-word replies like 'thanx', 'ty', 'hey', 'shweet' and 'nice u', typical of pirate-download threads on this era of forum. No real drama or discussion took place here — it's mostly a functional download thread that stayed alive for pages on low-effort gratitude posts.

Thanx— antithesis1234

Shweet— chaser123

nice u— haha.1

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock - PC release thread

Ancient forum ritual: someone drops a PC game link, forty guys reply 'ty'.

This is the tail end of a Red Light District 'Games' board thread sharing a download/info link for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock on PC, originally posted by -Shikari-. The rest of the thread is a long chain of members bumping in with one-word thanks ('thnx', 'sick', 'ty ty merry christmas', etc.), typical of these download-sharing threads. One member questions whether a 360 controller is required to play, and another jokes about wondering if you could even get a PC guitar peripheral. Classic low-effort bump culture of the era, spanning December 2007 into January 2008.

do u NEED the 360 controller, cuz if u do than thats gay!— adam-buster

lol wow had no idea they had this game for pc. I wonder if you can get the guitar for pc.— scrap512

Hitman 4: Blood Money - Download Share Thread

A supervisor drops three download links for Hitman: Blood Money, and the replies are exactly what you'd expect from a 2007 gaming forum.

A simple file-sharing thread in the Games subforum of the Red Light District section, where staff member HaSh posted download links for Hitman: Blood Money along with a cover image. The thread ran three pages mostly filled with members saying thanks, asking if the links still worked, and one joking about the game's cover art. Nothing dramatic happened here — it's a quiet snapshot of everyday forum life: casual downloads, low-effort bumps, and the kind of throwaway banter that filled these boards between the bigger cheat-scene threads.

nice b000bs— Igot2balls

please still be working— DJones

Death by hackers. How classic?— whee

Unreal Tournament 3 rapidshare share thread

Someone dropped the full UT3 release into the Red Light District — cue the 74-part rapidshare pain

A member posted a download listing for Unreal Tournament 3 in the Red Light District's Games subforum back in January 2008, complete with cover art. The thread drew a steady trickle of one-word thank-yous over about two weeks, with a running gag forming around the sheer number of split archive parts needed to grab the game without a premium download account. It's a small, quiet snapshot of how pre-streaming/pre-cheap-broadband forums traded big game files piecemeal.

FUCKING JESUS! 74 PARTS!?!?! HOLY SHIT! All of a sudden it doesn't look very sexy...-.-— BANG!!

You guys better have a premium rapidshare account or this would be a pain in the ass to download without it.— lragnarok11

74 parts is alot it would take me 2 weeks to download it cuz i dont have a premium account— nextplague

GTA:SA Warez Drop Sparks Confusion Over Link Rules

A 2007 warez-forum GTA:SA link drop that immediately spirals into 'wait, are links even allowed here?'

A member posting under the handle Guru drops what's framed as a GTA San Andreas share (sourced, by his own admission, from a warez forum) in the Red Light District's Games section. The replies are mostly confusion and forum-culture chatter rather than substance: one user questions whether posting links like this is even allowed, another asks if it's some new version of the game, and Guru shrugs that he can't verify anything about it himself. A staff member (Rockforce) shows up partway through, though the visible page cuts off before any moderation verdict.

What the f00kzz0rz? What is this?? OMG!! LINKS???? I toughtz that wasnt allowed rofl— Killz0rzz

Dunno, cant find anything of it on google, I found this on a warez forum— Guru

Newbie Gets Gatekept Asking for DoD:S Speedhack

A newbie asks for a DoD:S speedhack and gets shut down in three replies flat.

A brand-new member with only 5 posts wanders into the Games section of the Red Light District asking for a Day of Defeat: Source speedhack. Established members quickly correct him, pointing out that this isn't a request forum and that the file already existed elsewhere in the site's database. A short, mildly gatekeeping exchange typical of how veteran members policed newbie etiquette on the board.

hi, i need speedhack for dods. somebody have one?— god of war

First, of all this is not the reques seciton, Second, this is generally not a request forum.— Peski-Ruski

And peski 3rdly there is one already in the databse.— minitureman

Sims 2 (Full Collection) share thread

One guy dumps the entire Sims 2 collection in the warez bin and the thank-you train runs for two straight months.

A classic Red Light District 'Games' post from October 2007 where user pyeman shared a full Sims 2 collection download. The thread devolved into the usual pirate-forum ritual: dozens of members dropping one-liner thanks, lols, and 'ty' posts through late December 2007, with a brief aside from Archies noting he actually buys his games. It's a low-drama, high-volume bump thread typical of the era's file-sharing culture rather than any real discussion.

Gay.. I acctaully pay for all the games :/— Archies

SO NICE MAN! THANKS ALOT!— nightcor3

omg pwn !— blackxthink

Gears of War (Razor1911) Netload Release Thread

Twenty download links, one cracked Gears of War, and a trail of "thx man" that ran from December 2007 into the new year.

This is the tail end of a Red Light District release thread sharing a Razor1911-cracked copy of Gears of War via Netload links, capped at '20 links'. The visible page is almost entirely the reply tail: a string of members dropping quick thanks and reactions rather than substantive discussion. It captures the routine warez-sharing culture of Fkn0wned's Games subforum, where posts like this quietly circulated pirated PC ports to a small but steady stream of grateful posters.

OMG I LOVE YOU HASH— blackxthink

Oh wow I wanna try this out on my PC— hunterbrute224

yay awesome game thx man— Skorpian

WWE Raw 2007 Full Game Share (RapidShare) with Homemade Cover Art

Someone slapped Jerry Lawler's face on a fake box art and dropped a full WWE game link in the Red Light District.

A post in the Red Light District > Games subforum sharing a full copy of a WWE Raw 2007 PC game via RapidShare, posted by YoshMitSu. The thread includes some homemade cover art edits (a Lawler image and a mashed-up Fkn0wned 360/Live cover) since a proper PC cover couldn't be found. Typical of the era's warez-sharing culture on gaming forums, with a casual, joking tone about the editing job.

Lawler, Like my editing— YoshMitSu

I couldn't find the PC Cover, so i mashed a Fkn0wned 360 w/Live— YoshMitSu

Age of Empires III: The Warchiefs rapidshare thread

Guru drops the Warchiefs expansion and the thread just becomes a nine-month 'thx' parade.

A simple file-share thread in the Games subforum of the Red Light District section, where user Guru posted a rapidshare link to the Age of Empires III: The Warchiefs expansion. The thread ran from April 2007 through January 2008 with a steady trickle of members dropping in to say thanks, ask for an unhide, or note the link had gone dead. Nothing dramatic here — just a classic low-key file-sharing thread typical of the era's forum culture, with a broad cross-section of regulars from Counter-Strike and Half-Life crowds passing through.

this looks sick thanx *EDIT* It says "File not found"— Ray Teh Ak

I wanted to play this game few days ago ^^— kaZad

Medal of Honor: Airborne share thread

A 2007 WWII shooter drop in the Red Light District — with the usual 'can I play online' confusion after

Regular prefeK posted up Medal of Honor: Airborne in the Red Light District's Games subforum back in November 2007, complete with a promo blurb about Boyd Travers and the 82nd Airborne. The thread is classic low-key filesharing-board fare: a handful of members thank him, one asks about online play, and prefeK clarifies you'd need a legit CD-key for that. It trickles on for weeks with straggler replies into December, ending with someone joking the download would come in a thousand parts.

Nah, to play online, you need a legit CD-key.— prefeK

well its gonna be like 1000 parts anyway but lets give it a try— mircomania92

MX vs ATV Unleashed Megaupload share thread

Old-school warez etiquette in five posts: drop the link, everybody says thanks, thread dies happy.

A short, unremarkable thread in the Red Light District > Games subforum where user blackxthink shared a Megaupload link for the racing game MX vs ATV Unleashed. The rest of the thread is just a handful of members dropping quick 'thanks' replies, typical of the site's warez-sharing culture. Nothing dramatic happened here — it's a small time-capsule of how casually full game downloads were traded on fkn0wned back in December 2007.

warez downloader!!!!!!! ty— TAZZY123

Steam Cafe Licences Scam Link Called Out

A brand-new one-post member drops a 'free games' download link — the regulars smell a rat instantly.

A first-time poster with a single post to their name shared a rapidshare link claiming to offer Valve's Steam Cafe program licences, dressed up with promotional Steam-for-Cafes marketing text. Established members immediately called it out as suspicious, with one flagging the poster's lack of history and another posting virus-scan links to back up the warning. The thread fizzled quickly, standing as a small snapshot of the forum's community-policing instincts against sketchy downloads.

Not trustable. 1 post lol. I say its a virus.— sanjuro3456

not safe.. dont be dumb— ballistic

Elder Scrolls Full Series Share Thread

One thread, one guy, the entire Elder Scrolls saga from DOS-era Arena to Oblivion's Knights of the Nine — all rar'd up and waiting.

A 2007 post in the Red Light District's Games subforum where member ArmedLlama compiled the whole Elder Scrolls catalog — Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind plus its Tribunal and Bloodmoon expansions, and Oblivion with Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine — complete with box art, plot blurbs lifted from wiki-style writeups, and multi-part download links. It's a classic warez-forum 'mega compilation' post: exhaustive, lovingly formatted, and clearly a labor of love for old-school RPG fans. The replies are short and grateful, with one user later reporting the links had gone dead, a common fate for these old fileden/downtown.vc hosted threads.

So awesome. Thanks for the games.— grynder

Dead links?— IGotPwned :[

Prey PC - Rapidshare Thread

Someone dropped a Prey download link in 2007 and the whole thread was just dudes saying 'noice'

A short 2007 thread in the Red Light District's Games subforum where user Jebus AUS posted a description and download link for the game Prey. Replies were brief and low-effort, mostly members thanking the poster or reacting with one-word approval. A staff member (HaSh) chimed in dismissively calling it a 'pointless thread starter,' and banned member [Kc]aC!d also posted, giving a small glimpse of the forum's casual piracy-adjacent culture and moderation banter.

thx man , i was about ta go buy tha game tomorrow , but hell , ill just download it now lol— mflames01

Pointless thread starter— HaSh

263 GB Games FTP thread — tail end of a warez-sharing mega-thread

One dial-up-defying FTP link, 263 GB of games, and a page full of members just saying 'thanks' and 'lemme see'

This is the final page of a long-running thread in Fkn0wned's Red Light District > Games subforum, where someone had shared access to a massive 263 GB games collection over FTP. By the time this page rolls around the actual content/details are long buried upstream — what's left is just a string of members dropping quick replies of thanks, hype, and requests to get in on it. It captures the everyday piracy-sharing culture of the board rather than any single dramatic moment.

tight, lemme see— Someone510

Lemonade Tycoon 2 FULL upload

The day fkn0wned's Red Light District got soft — a lemonade stand sim posted between the cheats and warez

A staff member named Arcade posted a full copy of the casual PC sim game Lemonade Tycoon 2 in the Games subforum, with a promo-style description of its features (multiple stands, upgrades, 19 locations). A couple of regular members, sanjuro3456 and hidendra, chimed in with casual thanks, noting the download was quick and calling it a decent time-waster. Low-key, low-drama thread — a quiet little relic of the site's file-sharing culture outside the usual cheat-and-hacking focus.

I guess if I get bored on Saturday's I can give it a shot =S Thanks Arcade.— sanjuro3456

why not i'm looking for a time waster thank you— hidendra

Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos + Frozen Throne game share (2007)

A 2007 game-sharing post that got the whole 'Red Light District' crowd downloading Azeroth all over again

A release-share thread in Fkn0wned's 'Red Light District > Games' subforum, posted by HaSh in September 2007, offering Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its Frozen Throne expansion for download along with install instructions. The thread reads like a typical warez-era share post — game blurb pulled from IGN, system requirements, screenshots, and a short reply chain of members thanking the poster. Nothing dramatic here, just a small slice of the site's software/game-sharing culture and a handful of regulars checking in.

thx hash, im gonna download to play with my friends.— anthrax_hax

sweet ty— Pr0wL3r454

BioShock - Direct Download Thread

A 2007 forum post shares a 'direct download' for BioShock — and the link was broken almost immediately.

A member named dark_skillz posted a promotional blurb and download link for the newly released game BioShock in the 'Games' subforum of the Red Light District section. The thread quickly filled with the classic forum ritual of one-word 'thanks' replies (ty, tyvm, thx man) from a mix of regulars and low-post newbies. One user, Archies, pointed out the download link was broken, which was a common fate for these old file-sharing threads. Nothing dramatic happened — just a snapshot of everyday game-sharing culture on the site.

the download link is fked up..— Archies

This looks good. Im bored so ill download. Thanx!— Archies

[RS.com] Age of Empires III download thread

Just a bunch of forum regulars saying 'ty' for a RapidShare link to a strategy game — peak late-2000s warez thread energy.

This was a Red Light District > Games thread where someone posted a RapidShare (RS.com) link to download Age of Empires III. The vast majority of replies are terse one- or two-word thank-yous from members, plus a couple of gripes about dead or split RapidShare links and needing an account to grab them. It ran across multiple pages from late 2007 into early 2008, showing steady but low-effort traffic typical of the site's file-sharing sections.

lol al lot of links to bad i dont have a rapidshare account lol— sickalicious

LOL. Looks fun X)— Exodus

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (Kane Edition) Upload Thread

A 7.68GB Tiberium Wars megaupload post and one guy losing his mind at how many mirror links there were.

A member named prinz posted a full game-share thread for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, complete with boxart, plot blurb, and system requirements, packaged as a 'Kane Edition' download split across a huge number of mirror links. Replies were short and reactive, mostly amazement at the sheer size of the download and the link dump rather than any real discussion of the game itself. Typical of the Red Light District > Games board's warez-sharing culture at the time.

OH MY FUCKING N00B!!! THATS A SHIT LOAD OF LINKS!!!!111oneoneone— Killz0rzz

show me this now:huh:— wickedSICK
