TuxifieD Returns: The Overlord Comes Back

The site owner vanishes for four years, then just... comes back — and the whole forum loses its mind.

Site owner TuxifieD returned after roughly four years away and posted an announcement thread promising to revive fkn0wned, move back to the .com domain, overhaul VIP perks, and bring back longtime staffer KZA as a moderator. The thread quickly filled with old members expressing genuine surprise and nostalgia, welcoming Tux and KZA back and reminiscing about 'the good old days.' It's a warm, chaotic reunion moment with plenty of inside jokes, emoticon spam, and old-school forum camaraderie.

I'm not the same tux that I was ... bit wiser.. bit less of an asshole but much smarter so this will be fun.— TuxifieD

So do I shoot myself now... or later?— Afteryou

The overlord has returned.— Guest

Rebirth of Fkn0wned (2010 Forum Reset)

The day admin TuxifieD nuked the whole forum and told the oldfags their post counts meant nothing anymore.

In August 2010, founder TuxifieD announced a full wipe of the Fkn0wned forums — fresh install, fresh server, everyone starting at zero posts — framed as a way to kill off 'oldfag' status-hoarders and let the community rebuild its reputation from scratch. The reaction from regulars was mostly hype and nostalgia mixed with mild panic over losing old posts and VIP status, with admins reassuring members that VIP/perks were still being sorted out. It's a classic community-reset thread: excitement, a little chaos, some inside jokes, and everyone jockeying for early post numbers in the new era.

no more old fags coming on to pretend they're cool because they have a high post count and dont post anymore.— TuxifieD

At first, I saw the site completely blank and squeaky clean and I nearly shit myself...— ap3x

FUCK YEA, I HAVE MORE POSTS THAN KIMMI!— Dr. Tobias Fünke

Quick Notice About the Steam Forums Incident

A random kid threatens fkn0wned with 'Anonymous' — the whole forum just laughs him out of the thread.

Started by founder f0wh, this Site News thread addressed some incident involving the Steam forums that fkn0wned was apparently linked to (details left vague, with Baz coyly refusing to confirm or deny involvement). The real action comes from a member, WIN7GT, who shows up claiming Anonymous would 'punish' the forum for it, triggering a wave of mockery from regulars. Darkness delivers a long, oddly earnest breakdown of how Anonymous actually operates to shoot down the threat, while others just clown on the kid with sarcasm about Obama's cousin and DDoS non-events. Classic small-forum bravado: nothing was ever proven, nobody was scared, and the thread ends in general derision.

U guys gonna be punished by Anonymous. They'll beat the crap out of you.— WIN7GT

fuck that shit you are annoymous cause no one fuckin cares or knows about u butthurt faggot LOL— OutLawz

Fuck steam. Fuck valve. Fuck anon. And fuck anyone who says fkn0wned ain't the greatest.— Baz

Site Updates: Skill Recruitment, Verified Sellers, and the Jimy-as-Crew Controversy

Tuxified drops a big roadmap post — new hacks, a Verified Sellers group, and a surprise crew promotion that half the VIPs immediately side-eyed.

Owner TuxifieD posted a major site-news update announcing the domain moving back to fkn0wned.com, upcoming public and VIP CS:GO hacks, the end of lifetime VIP pricing, a new paid 'Verified Sellers Group' for the marketplace, and an open call for members with useful skills to join staff. The thread's real drama came from the announcement that member Jimy had been promoted to Crew — several longtime VIPs (Bergii, Gloxiak) openly questioned the choice, calling him out for offensive comments rather than contributions, while Tuxified firmly defended the decision. Regulars like PotatoRain, HateNN, xVENdEr, Fopje, and Squab chimed in with congrats, jokes, and general forum banter typical of the site's community culture.

Great changes for the forum, but Jimy as a crew member? Are you serious ? What did he even do for this forum, except writing offensive comments/status updates ?— Bergii

he wants to help, he has the attitude to put in the work and get shit going... No dead weight in staff.— TuxifieD

Will the position for Supreme Overlord of fkn0wned be available?— Squab

VIP & 1K Club Information

The pinned post that explained how to buy your way (or post your way) into Fkn0wned's inner circle

An admin-posted sticky laying out the perks of paid Lifetime VIP membership versus the free 1K Club (earned by hitting 1000 posts), covering access to private hack sections, giveaways, cracked content boards, tutorials, and auto-unhide privileges. The thread mostly stayed on-topic with members clarifying the differences between VIP and 1K, referral shortcuts, and payment logistics, with a bit of the community's trademark irreverent humor mixed in. It's a solid snapshot of how the site funded itself and gated its 'exclusive' content behind money or grinding.

You forgot to mention the massive amount of nude Mana pics— f0wh

Well my VIP Status just got raped.— RodasAPC

300 referrals is Lifetime 1K as far as I know. VIP is only one month.— [1K] TripleD

New Skin: GetLikeFkN

The day fkn0wned's forum got its most hyped-up facelift ever, and the whole crew lost their minds over it

Site manager ZoaQ announces a from-scratch forum skin overhaul ('GetLikeFkN'), touting a lighter theme, CSS3/HTML5 effects, new dropdown menus, updated graphics, and cross-browser support after months of work. The reply thread is pure hype and gratitude from staff and members, with several old-timers reminiscing fondly about the original dark fkn0wned look while praising the new one for feeling faster and more polished. It's a lighthearted, community-morale-boosting moment rather than any drama — just members cheering on a well-liked admin's redesign work.

This community will soon run on the d0pe of getlike.me— [FkN] ZoaQ

I pretty much creamed my pants AGAIN— [FkN] NIX

You sir, are God.— [FkN] trs

The Shoutbox Exploit That Shall Not Be Named

A shoutbox bug got someone banned, and half the staff spent the thread scolding people for even discussing it.

A Site News thread from November 2012 dances around a shoutbox exploit without naming it, after at least one user (referenced only as 'squab' or via the ban of PopTart) got banned for it. Staff and senior members (toastie, TripleD, NigelStrawberry) repeatedly warn users not to discuss or use the bug and to use the report button, while owner f0wh confirms he's working on a fix. Confusion reigns among regular members about what actually happened, with references to a mysterious incident involving a member called twodayslate posting a pic, which kudi hints was something else entirely.

Everyone in this thread should be banned for talking about such an exploit that is not to be named. swag— toastie

The bug that shall not be named.— TripleD

I'm working on it right now, I expect it'll be fixed tomorrow. Stay classy.— f0wh

TuxifieD Announces CS:GO Private Cheat Storefront (cheatsinc.com)

Fkn0wned's owner drops the CS:GO private cheat storefront — 'league proof' and all.

A short site-news announcement from forum owner TuxifieD promoting the launch of a paid 'private' CS:GO cheat tier, sold through an external storefront (cheatsinc.com) with VIP perks tied to purchases there. It's a pure promo post — payment methods listed, purchase instructions given, closed to replies — capturing the commercial side of the site's cheat-selling era. One member, FlareBunny, liked the post before the thread was locked.

As you know the public is out, now its time to do some real damage!!— TuxifieD

If you are ready to own and not have to worry about being detected you better get your ass over to...— TuxifieD

New Design (Beta Skin Unveiling)

ZoaQ drops a new forum skin and the whole board loses its mind over dark colors and lime green suggestions.

Admin ZoaQ unveils a beta redesign of the Fkn0wned forum skin, asking members for feedback before finalizing it. The thread is a wave of overwhelmingly positive reactions praising the dark, monochromatic look, mixed with small nitpicks about banner color, lag, ugly-looking smileys, and shoutbox bugs. Several members toss in cosmetic suggestions (more lime green, adding a member's name to the header) in classic forum-community fashion. It's a lighthearted, feel-good moment of the community rallying around a cosmetic site update.

Looks sexy as fuck. Nice Job ZoaQ— PopTart

Needs the word "CRiSPY" up top with "Fkn0wned -New Evolution" :D— CRiSPY

I love it, i like it they way it is.— mystical

VIP Discounted to $40/Lifetime! + Brand New VIP Hacks!

The classic 'VIP price drop' hype thread — $40 for life, new hacks teased, and a member asking if he can pay with a Vanilla prepaid card.

A Site News announcement post promoting a discounted lifetime VIP subscription ($40) alongside new VIP-exclusive hacks for the site's cheat database. The visible reply comes from member cjdog1234 asking about payment methods, complete with a signature bragging about a list of items obtained through social engineering scams. It's a snapshot of the site's monetization push and the casual scammer culture that ran alongside it.

Can i pay with a Vanilla prepaid card? Because i dont have a real cc but if i can use vanilla, im gettin this shit TODAY— cjdog1234

Things I SE'd: Keurig Platinum Brewer x4, Logitech G600 Gaming mouse x1, Logitech z323 Speakers x1, Vizio $60-70 HDMI Cord x1, Various food coupons :3— cjdog1234

Fkn0wned Radio Revival — DJ Recruitment Thread

The forum tried to bring back its radio station and pull DJs out of the woodwork with free swag.

A Site News announcement revived 'Fkn0wned Radio' and put out a call for DJs, dangling free stuff as incentive for listeners. The surviving reply is from longtime member InfectedKush (FknStoner, [FkN] Crew), who applied to DJ with a burst of hype-man energy and a shoutout to fellow member Puree. It's a small but characteristic slice of the community's goofy, close-knit late-2012 social side outside the cheat/hacking boards.

IM GOING IN FOR THE KILL, IM DOIN IT FOR THE TRILL!— InfectedKush

applied as DJ! thx Puree <3— InfectedKush

Staff Recruitment Thread

The day the admins put out a help-wanted sign for the cheat scene's front desk.

A Site News announcement inviting members to apply for staff positions on Fkn0wned, a gaming/cheat-scene forum active in the early 2010s. The thread ran to at least three pages, suggesting a decent amount of member interest or discussion around who should be trusted with moderation duties. It sits in the Site Related category alongside the site's rules, database of game cheats, and other admin-run housekeeping threads.

Fkn0wned Crew Recruitment Applications

Members lined up to apply for 'Crew' status — and at least one used the thread to plug his FileIce hustle.

This was the recruitment thread where members applied to join the site's 'Crew' (a trusted/elevated member group) on the Fkn0wned forum. The post preserved here is from VIP member clmZy, who submitted a brief application and used the opportunity to advertise a FileIce referral service, backed by a spoiler full of vouches from other members praising him as a trustworthy trader. It's a small snapshot of the forum's internal economy — account/log trading, vouch culture, and cross-promotion of side hustles within official threads.

applied good luck to all!!— clmZy

Vouch,nice log buyer,i shall see you around :D— Mickey

Traded! clmZy awesome trader, trustable and fast— ChrisITA

Post-for-Prizes Contest, BF4 Cheat Launch, and a New Coder Joins the Team

Get paid to post, grab the new Battlefield 4 hack, and meet the site's newest coder — all in one owner update.

A site-wide announcement from owner TuxifieD laying out several updates at once: a new 'Post for Prizes' contest rewarding active posters with cash and VIP cheat access, the public release of a Battlefield 4 hack, the launch of a fuller-featured BF4 hack over on sister site cheatsinc.com, and the recruitment of Ogashdro as a new coder for the team. There's also a minor cosmetic update about a new forum skin in testing. The tone is upbeat and promotional, classic 'staff keeping the community engaged' energy typical of this era of the site.

Just a few updates for everyone.— TuxifieD

You will be paid to post basically.— TuxifieD

cheatsinc.com and fkn0wned.com welcome Ogashdro to our team as a coder.— TuxifieD

VIP Sale, $40 Lifetime Offer

The classic '$40 lifetime VIP' promo thread — half hype, half people begging PayPal to clear in time.

A Site News announcement pushing a limited-time $40 lifetime VIP subscription deal, running until February 5, 2013. The replies are mostly members hyping the sale, joking around, and one user worried whether his pending PayPal payment would clear before the deadline. Staff (including admin PopTart) confirmed the end date, while regular VIPs and a 1K Club member chimed in with lighthearted banter.

It's my money and I need it nowwwwwwwww!— blksith0

buybuybuybuybuybuypurchasepurchasepurchasepurchasepurchase— zanderdanmark

Ends on Feb 5th.— PopTart

Fkn0wned Crew Recruitment Thread

f0whs wants 'cheap workers' to plant trees, and the whole thread derails into banter about who's actually important

A Site News thread where Fkn0wned staff put out a call for potential new crew members. The page captured here is mostly the tail end, where regulars traded jokes and light ribbing rather than serious applications — a running gag about planting trees as 'slaves,' a trader vouching for a fellow member, and some good-natured trolling about self-importance. It's a snapshot of the forum's casual, joking internal culture rather than any major drama.

We're going to plant one tree for each member in f0whs backyard and we need some cheap workers.— Ljungan

cheap workers ? or do you mean slaves to plant trees!— Monster

Only important people have posted here. I guess is my turn to shine!— JeremyLin

Emrys Steps Down

One more name leaves the staff list — Emrys hangs up the mod hat for 'real life commitments.'

A short Site News thread marking the retirement of staff member Emrys, who announced they were stepping down from their position to focus on real-life obligations, while promising to stick around informally. Fellow long-timers trs and Fopje replied with well-wishes, treating it as another routine but bittersweet farewell in the forum's ongoing turnover of staff.

And another one bites the dust— trs

Well my time's come to a close. I've decided that I will be stepping down from my position.— Emrys

Fkn0wned Staff Promotions and New Crew Announcement

The day fkn0wned handed out new admin badges — who got the nod?

A Site News post from admin silentr0ck announcing staff promotions and welcoming new crew members to the fkn0wned team, with specific congratulations to a member named Nigel. It's a short, upbeat administrative announcement typical of forum housekeeping posts, marking a moment of internal recognition within the community's hierarchy.

Welcome to our newest staff members and congratulations to Nigel— silentr0ck

Portal Installed: fkn0wned Gets a Front Page

The day fkn0wned got its front-page portal — new front door, same old crew.

A short Site News announcement marking the installation of a new portal/front-page system for the Fkn0wned Forum, part of the site's broader structure covering its cheat/hack databases (CS 1.6, CoD, Battlefield, etc.) and general forum categories. The page itself is mostly navigation and board scaffolding rather than discussion, reflecting an early, still-growing stage of the site with several sections marked 'Coming soon!'. It's a small but telling snapshot of the forum's infrastructure era, before the community and drama that would later define it took shape.

Welcome back Puree<3, DarkRood Promoted

The regulars roll out the welcome mat for a returning member and a fresh promotion.

A Site News announcement thread marking two events: the return of member 'Puree' to the forum and the staff promotion of 'DarkRood'. The replies are a stream of congratulations from crew members and regulars, with some cross-talk about custom signature tags made by other members and a plug for using the report button to help staff. Low-drama, purely celebratory community housekeeping post typical of the forum's Site News section.

Gratz dudes!— Fopje

Congratulations to both of you— NigelStrawberry

Congratulations DarkRood! You're truly worth it!— Saulius

Lifetime VIP $40 Promo Announcement

Buy your way into Lifetime VIP before the price bumps — staff running a limited-slot cash promo.

A Site News announcement on the Fkn0wned Forum offering the next two Lifetime VIP memberships for $40 each, apparently as a promo tied to giveaways or resale. Only the board chrome and navigation survive from this page, so the actual pitch and terms are lost, but it reflects how the site monetized VIP status directly through staff-run sales. Typical of the forum's structure at the time, with dedicated sections for cheat databases (CS 1.6, CoD, etc.) and general/leecher/market boards alongside site business like this.

Site News board index

The board where fkn0wned announced its own comebacks — and, eventually, its endings.

This is the Site News index under Site Related, the official channel for admin announcements on fkn0wned. It hosted the pinned forum rules from PopTart, a 'New Design' thread showing off a site overhaul, and a notably long 'Rebirth of Fkn0wned' thread spanning several pages tracking the community's attempts to relaunch or revive itself. The board's contents hint at a site that went through cycles of redesign, downtime, and revival efforts before eventually going dark for good.

Rebirth of Fkn0wned— TuxifieD

New Design— ZoaQ
