Army vs School: The Forum Talks a 15-Year-Old Off the Enlistment Ledge
A 15-year-old asks a cheat forum whether to drop out and enlist — and the whole board actually shows up to talk him down.
In the Serious Discussion sub-forum, a young member named masoncoles opened up about a genuinely rough home life — an alcoholic mother, a brother with severe developmental issues, another brother who had died young — and floated the idea of leaving school early to join the army. What followed was a surprisingly earnest, multi-page back-and-forth: some members (vermiLLion, Agility, KZA, mutantcookie) firmly told him to stay in school and not romanticize the military, while an actual enlisted soldier, retsnomlc, pushed back with detailed first-hand info about enlistment requirements, MOS choices, bonuses, and the GI Bill. The thread is a good example of the forum's 'Serious Discussion' section living up to its name — jokes and trolling mostly held back — and it ends on a warm note with masoncoles deciding to stay in school after weighing everyone's input.
The army is going to get you killed and then you can have some sad crying family that mopes over you when you are dead— vermiLLion
Well i guess Ill play devils advocate, I dropped out of High school when I was 14 and got legally imancipated at 16 and enlisted.— retsnomlc
well now i love the comments i took all into consideration and well i GUESS ill stay in school cause thats what the majority said i should do— masoncoles
Holy Shit, Must Read This! — S3RK's Friendship Drama Confession
A teen soap opera of betrayal, a broken bromance, and a $700 formal-night limo snub — all laid bare in Serious Discussion.
VIP member S3RK opened up in the Serious Discussion subforum with a sprawling personal confessional about a love-triangle-ish falling out with his best friend over two girls, ending in social exile, a canceled school formal, and having to dig holes for a week to repay his mom $700 for a suit. The thread is a snapshot of the forum's 'real life drama' side rather than gaming or hacking content, with a handful of members offering sympathy, blunt commentary, and some ribbing. It's a good example of how these old gaming/cheat forums doubled as teenage venting grounds, with replies trickling in over months (December 2009 to March 2010).
Discuss? Kind Regards— S3RK
you're friends are fucking fags... but you did the right thing telling bro what you did.— Emrys
at least look on the bright side. you poped a cherry— Sleeping Forest
All 50 States Must Now Allow Same-Sex Marriage
The Fkn0wned crew gets 'serious' for once — SCOTUS marriage ruling sparks a surprisingly civil debate.
A rare 'Serious Discussion' thread from June 2015, started right after the US Supreme Court's nationwide same-sex marriage ruling. Member Usurp, who identified as gay, asked the forum for genuine reactions, and the thread drew a mix of supportive, indifferent, and dissenting replies from regulars and staff alike. Despite the site's usual cheat-scene/gaming focus, the discussion stayed relatively measured, with members like the forum owner TuxifieD voicing support and others like Stewart and InfectedKush pushing back or being dismissive.
How do you feel about this? I for one am extremely excited as I am gay as all hell and finally have the right I deserve to hold.— Usurp
It seems common sense is not so common.— TuxifieD
People need to wake up and realize how fast America is declining— Stewart
Fortune Teller: Ghost Stories on Serious Discussion
A CS cheat forum's 'serious discussion' board goes full ghost story with séances, dead relatives, and a table that chased someone down a hallway.
In the Serious Discussion sub-forum, member triplem opens with a family story about an aunt who's a fortune teller, recounting two eerily accurate predictions of death and disaster. The thread turns into a genuine, mostly civil back-and-forth about belief in psychics, fate, and the paranormal, with several members sharing their own family ghost stories and near-death predictions. It's a rare glimpse of sincere, off-topic vulnerability on a forum otherwise built around game cheats and warez, capped by a strict 'no cool story bro / no flaming' rule for the board.
NO COOL STORY BRO, ONE WORD ANSWERES, IMAGE ONLY REPLIES OR OTHER FAGGOTORY— triplem
the table rose up, and chased her down the hall. It took my grandfather and two uncles to tackle it down.— Jewjubes
We as humans were set out to control our futures. All actions are our own.— Slickz
a girl (slingblade's teenage heartbreak thread)
A 17-year-old's first breakup spirals into a locker-note ultimatum and a forum full of dating advice.
Long-time member slingblade opened up in Serious Discussion about the end of his first relationship — a long-distance-by-school-hallway romance that ended with a vague 'i just wanna be friends' note. Regretting a harsh locker note telling her to pretend he didn't exist, he agonized over how to get closure without breaking his own promise to cut contact. The thread is a classic slice of early-forum-era teen drama, with regulars like thejah, Emrys, majrbrawl and others weighing in with earnest, typo-riddled relationship advice over several months, ending with a bump from Sleeping Forest almost three months later.
i think i screwed myself here ( metaphorically )— slingblade
for the first time in maybe a decade, i have NO idea what, the, FUCK!!!- -that i am supposed to do— slingblade
17 years old, and 1 gf, really, 17:1 isnt the kinda ratio where i would agree with you— slingblade
A girl
Nagger30 needs relationship advice, gets a masterclass in mixed signals from the whole forum
A member named Nagger30 posted in Serious Discussion asking for advice about a girl who had a boyfriend but kept texting, calling, and eventually admitting she dreamed about him. The thread evolved in real time over about five weeks as the girl broke up with her boyfriend, Nagger30 asked her out anyway, and the community weighed in with a mix of genuine advice and joking cynicism. Regulars from various rank groups (VIP, 500 Club, Security Crew, Smod) chimed in with warnings about rebound relationships and emotionally unstable exes, alongside some classic early-2010s forum humor. It's a good snapshot of the 'Serious Discussion' subforum's actual tone despite its strict all-caps rule against trolling and off-topic posts.
I just don't know what the bitch wants from me. Please Explain Many Thanks!— Nagger30
Go eat somewhere else.— inSpired
If she is ugly forget her slap her, and peace it bro.— SNK
What's Your Religious Stance?
Cheat-scene forum kids get surprisingly deep about God, karma, and the Catholic Church.
A Serious Discussion thread from June 2011 where Fkn0wned members laid out their personal beliefs on religion, ranging from devout Orthodox and Catholic faith to agnosticism and outright disbelief. The tone stayed civil and thoughtful for a gaming/cheat forum, with admins, VIPs, and regular members alike opening up about upbringing, church experiences, and philosophical takes on karma and organized religion. It's a nice snapshot of the community's softer, more reflective side outside the usual cheats-and-drama chatter.
I respect it, but it's still stupid, in my opinion. I despise the Catholic Church though, it has been full of scumbags for the past 2000 years.— painkille137
no religions at all makes sense to me and I've thought this way since I was 6 despite being raised christian.— f0wh
Agnostic atheist. I respect everyones view on religion.— Ruddified
Fags broke into my house
An FkN admin comes home to a burglarized house right before Christmas — and the forum reacts.
In the Serious Discussion section, forum admin silentr0ck posted about a burglary at their home, noting the intruders left behind items like the PC and TVs, apparently having scoped out that the house was empty. Posted on Christmas Eve 2012, it's a rare off-topic, personal moment from a site otherwise built around gaming cheats and hacks. The thread captures a slice of real life bleeding into the community outside the usual cheat-scene chatter.
Well they left some shit like my PC and other TVs... They saw house was empty and bam.— silentr0ck
The Passout Challenge Thread
Fkn0wned debates the old hyperventilation "passout challenge" — half the forum says stupid, half says been there, done that.
A December 2012 thread in the Serious Discussion section where members hashed out the viral 'passout challenge' (a hyperventilation/breath-holding stunt). Reactions ranged from blunt dismissal ('stupid', 'why risk it') to old-timers noting it had already been a fad on the forum and elsewhere years earlier, plus a few members sharing personal anecdotes of trying it — including one recalling a friend seizing after hitting concrete, which cooled some of the bravado. A tangent about a Russian YouTube video (via the phrase 'собачий кайф') added dark comic relief before the thread settled into general 'not worth the risk' consensus.
This is some old stuff, at least here. I've done it numerous times but never really passed out, I've collapsed but been conscious.— TripleD
one kid did it once and dropped onto concrete had a seizure school freaked out didnt do it anymore after that— d0t1q
and this is silly.. i like breathing and would like to continue— Monster
Casey Anthony Not Guilty Verdict Reaction Thread
fkn0wned's Serious Discussion crew reacts to the Casey Anthony verdict with zero chill
A July 2011 off-topic thread in the Serious Discussion sub-board where members vent about the Casey Anthony not-guilty verdict, a major real-world news story at the time. The conversation quickly turns into a general rant about the American legal system, with several members and even admin/founder accounts weighing in on how broken they think it is. It's a snapshot of the community stepping outside gaming/cheat talk to argue current events, complete with dark jokes and a non-American member asking who Casey Anthony even was.
That lady was obviously guilty and yet she was found not guilty... Just shows how broken the legal system is of america.— pimpinatatl
who is Casey anythony? (sorry none-american here)— [VIP] Charlie
I guess late-term abortions are legal in florida now— [Founder] f0wh
i got 5G's stolen
A member's bank card got drained for nearly $5,000 — and the bank didn't believe him.
In the Serious Discussion forum, member cixxa posted about having his personal and credit card information stolen, resulting in a fraudulent charge of over $4,900, with his bank reportedly skeptical of his claim. A handful of regulars, including founder TuxifieD, chimed in with sympathy and comparisons to similar experiences, while another member offered a theory about how card data commonly gets stolen from discarded receipts. It's a short, low-drama thread showing the community's more grounded, real-life side outside the usual gaming and cheat talk.
well somone hacked into my computer and stole my personal information and my CC information. and made a charge for 4931.17$ and my bank thinks im bullshitting them.— cixxa
wow that sucks— TuxifieD
The thing is that if you use cards to buy shit in stores they throw away the carbons a week later and those little fags dig the bins for the carbons which contains your CC Numbers and shit.— Unbeliveable
does she like me? (cixxa's dinner-and-movies dilemma)
A cheat-scene forum's 'serious discussion' board weighs in on whether a girl is into a guy she keeps inviting everywhere
In the Serious Discussion board of Fkn0wned, member cixxa asked fellow forumgoers to decode whether a girl who kept inviting him out to dinner, movies, and trips was actually interested in him romantically. A couple of regulars, Unfeared and marz, chimed in with the classic internet-forum wisdom that the signs were obvious and the only real solution was to just ask her. It's a small, plain slice of everyday teenage forum life sitting oddly among the site's hacking and gaming boards, a reminder that even cheat-scene communities were full of ordinary kids just trying to figure out crushes.
does she like me?— cixxa
Yes obviously, or she's trolling you hard.— Unfeared
only one way to find out, ask her.— marz
N.W.O (New World Order) conspiracy debate
A noob drops the RFID-chip-and-concentration-camp conspiracy talk in Serious Discussion, forum promptly does not take it seriously.
GrayJay opened a Serious Discussion thread laying out early New World Order conspiracy talking points — government microchipping, secret concentration camps, and warrantless searches under the Patriot Act — asking for the community's honest take. Regulars mostly pushed back with skepticism, comparing it to Y2K-style panic, while a few added tangents (RFID use in shipping, historical WWII-era Japanese internment, a soldier's account of military ID chipping and Angel Island detention history). One member joked he just wanted a thread about the wrestling stable nWo instead. It's a fairly tame, mildly earnest off-topic debate typical of the board's 'Serious Discussion' section, ending in a shrug rather than any real conclusion.
i thought this thread was gonna be about Wrestling NWO :(— thejah
do you think the usa governement honestly gives a shit about you? of course not.— Speedo
im glad im canadian!— cixxa
Introverts and Extroverts
A cheat forum's 'Serious Discussion' board gets philosophical: are you an introvert or an extrovert?
SMod [FkN] Emrys Samsonite Man shared a StumbleUpon find—an essay riffing on Marti Laney's 'The Introvert Advantage'—laying out common myths about introverts and asking members to self-identify. Only a couple of replies came in: admin [FkN] ap3x said he felt like a mix of both, while 1K Club member f0wh pushed back hard on the pop-science dopamine claims, arguing for balance over labeling. A quiet, low-traffic detour into armchair psychology on a board otherwise built for cheats, giveaways, and warez.
I like to be a mixture of both. I think some situations call for an introverted personality and other times it's the extrovert side of me that will benefit me the most.— [FkN] ap3x
Don't let this author mislead you with his supposedly "convincing" arguments, stay within realistic proportions or you'll get blown away like that guy— [1K] f0wh
Need Some Advice About This
An old-school forum member's plea for advice, buried in the Serious Discussion archives.
This archived page preserves a thread from the 'Serious Discussion' subforum of the General category on Fkn0wned Forum, a defunct early-2010s gaming and cheat-scene community. The original post content itself hasn't survived beyond the title, but the surrounding forum structure shows the site's typical layout: cheat/hack databases for games like Counter-Strike, Call of Duty, and Minecraft, alongside general chat, market, security, and off-topic sections. The thread's presence in Serious Discussion suggests it was a genuine personal or life-advice post rather than gaming talk, a reminder that these communities were more than just cheats and trading.
Serious Discussion board index - Fkn0wned Forum
The gaming/cheat forum's off-topic soul: murder hypotheticals, Osama's burial, and someone begging for help with a threat, all in one thread list.
This is the index page for 'Serious Discussion,' the off-topic-but-heavy subforum of the Fkn0wned cheat/gaming community, sitting alongside boards for CS cheats, botting, warez, and porn passwords. Threads range from lighthearted debates ('Would you murder?', 'What Would You Do?') to genuinely dark or personal territory (a child porn neighbor confession thread, someone reporting being threatened, jury duty, Osama bin Laden's death, Obama's birth certificate conspiracy talk). The mix captures the classic mid-2000s/2010s forum vibe of teenagers and young adults hashing out big life/death/politics questions between cheat downloads, with recurring posters like Phenex, Ruddified, and drunkenbusdriver anchoring the discussion.
