Welcome Back to Fkn0wned.Com (2006 Relaunch)
The site that got hacked and rose again — this is the post where fkn0wned came back for good.
This is the founding/relaunch announcement thread for the Fkn0wned forum, posted by Head Admin [FkN] Bisdale, marking the site's return after prior corruption and hacking incidents. It's essentially the ground-zero post of the community's News + Updates section, calling for staff volunteers to help rebuild. A returning member, Rockforce, chimes in with a genuine welcome-back sentiment, capturing the small, fresh-start energy of the relaunched site.
This time fkn0wned is back and better then ever, no corruption, no hackings, we're back for good.— [FkN] Bisdale

Fkn0wned.Com Hacking Montage - Best of the Best Hackers
The site's own highlight reel of its top hackers, kicked off by founding member c0ke
A pinned News + Updates thread from May 2007 announcing a community montage video showcasing top 'hackers' from the Fkn0wned.Com scene, essentially a highlight reel celebrating the site's most notable players/cheat users. Started by c0ke, a founding-era member (Member No. 1, Retired Staff), the thread ran to at least four pages, suggesting it became a long-running community showcase/discussion piece. It captures the site's CS 1.6-centric cheat community culture and its self-mythologizing 'best of' era.
Growing Pains: DoubleVision's Plea for More Posts
670 members, barely 1,000 posts — the founder begs the community to actually show up
A short, early administrative post from FknOwned founder DoubleVision in the site's News + Updates section, dated July 2006. He points out that the forum has racked up 670 members but only around 1,000 posts, calling that ratio disappointing, and urges members to get active and encourage referrals to actually participate rather than just lurk. It's a small snapshot of the site in its infancy, part of the larger 'Deception Network' of cheat/hack forums covering BF2, BF2142, and Counter-Strike.
You guys, we have 670 members and 1k posts? Doesn't sound right.— DoubleVision
HELP FKN !! <3— DoubleVision

A short celebratory announcement thread from Fkn0wned's early days, marking the community reaching 10,000 members. Admin [FkN] tKeR praised the site's activity and posting culture, setting sights on the next milestone of 50,000. Member WicK3d chimed in with hyped, all-caps enthusiasm, half-joking about making a post for every 1000-member milestone going forward.

A short celebratory thread marking the forum crossing the 100,000-post milestone, posted by c0ke, a founding/early member (Member No. 1) holding retired staff rank. It's a simple site-news announcement typical of forum culture at the time — a community pat-on-the-back moment rather than any real discussion. The thread ran at least two pages, suggesting members piled in with congratulations and nostalgia of their own.
We made it guys!— c0ke
Member Of The Month (MOTM) Competition Announcement
Fkn0wned launches its first MOTM contest — post warez, porn, and tutorials, get famous (and maybe a Steam account).
Admin Shifty. announced a new monthly 'Member Of The Month' competition starting November 1st, 2007, rewarding members who posted actively, shared warez/tutorials, helped in support sections, and stayed civil. Staff would privately debate winners each month, with prizes ranging from a unique forum signature to Steam accounts or other game accounts. The thread drew a wave of enthusiastic, low-key responses from members praising the idea, a few joking about gaming the system by suddenly behaving or uploading content to boost their odds, and a brief exchange defending the idea's originality against a member who thought it resembled his own suggestion.
Buhu, Now Ill destroy my chances if Im rude! Now I'll have to make alot of tutorials for photoshop, maybe Ill see if I have some software I can share and I'll reply to good discussion threads!— banak
the chances of me winning this is low i may upload something in warez to boost my chances— bragamuffin
Nope, this has been planned way before that bro. Just never got put into place.— Shifty.
Recruiting Coders (2006)
The day FkN0wned put out an open call for cheat coders — 'even starcraft' devs welcome.
A recruitment thread posted by Head Admin [FkN] BlackIce asking any coder, for any game, to PM him about joining the site's coding team so fkn0wned.com could start producing its own cheats instead of relying on outside sources. Member Rockforce chimed in lamenting he had no coding skills to contribute. The thread ran into a second page over the following weeks, with a couple of members (including one later marked 'Banned') wishing they could make their own hacks.
If you code cheats for ANY GAME at all then PM me. I dont care if its starcraft you code cheats for— [FkN] BlackIce
It sucks that the pub isnt willing to code for the greater good of the community.— Rockforce
i wish i could make my own hacks— ButtFuzz
Recruiting Database Admins (Aug 2006)
The day Bisdale cleaned house and put out a call for new database admins to keep the hack archive alive.
A News + Updates thread from FknOwned's early days where site founder/Head Admin [FkN] Bisdale announces he's purged the inactive database admin team and is recruiting replacements. The post lays out expectations: adding new hack releases, sourcing screenshots, and moving VAC-detected tools to their own section. One member, Fr0Gs, promptly volunteers with contact details. A small but telling snapshot of how the site's hack database was maintained and staffed by volunteers in its early era.
I have just cleaned out the database admin group of db admins you don't do anything.— [FkN] Bisdale
Yerp Sure Ill Take On This— Fr0Gs

Private BF2 Hack Offered to Donators (Dec 2006)
The month Fkn0wned turned server costs into a 'donate and get a hack' pitch — and someone immediately asked for a refund loophole.
A News + Updates post from site head admin [FkN] Bisdale announces a limited-time private, supposedly 'Punk Buster proof' Battlefield 2 hack as a perk for anyone donating to the site that month, framed as help covering server costs and crediting a sponsor. The lone reply is a donator asking whether past donations still count for the new perk, showing the casual, small-community bookkeeping vibe typical of the site's donation-for-perks system. It's a snapshot of how these early cheat-scene forums funded themselves and rewarded loyal members.
Fkn0wned.Com is releasing a private BF2 Hack that is Punk Buster proof just for donators this month only!— [FkN] Bisdale

c0ke's rage-bait contest promised free VIP just for losing your mind on the forum.
Posted by founding member c0ke (member #1) in the News + Updates section, this thread announced a promotional giveaway tied to SourceIndustries.Net, a hack-selling site advertised on Fkn0wned.Com. The premise was lighthearted: users could win free VIP access by posting their best 'rage' content. It's a small snapshot of the site's community-building era, mixing forum culture with the era's cheat-scene sponsorships and self-deprecating humor about tilting out in games.

Fkn0wned TeamSpeak Server Launch
The day fkn0wned got its own voice server — and the staff started clowning each other before anyone even logged in
A short 2006 announcement thread from Fkn0wned's News + Updates board: Head Admin [FkN] Bisdale posts up the site's new TeamSpeak server details so members can voice chat outside the forums. Rockforce (500 Club) immediately jumps in hyped, joking about hearing what the staff sound like and asking about login credentials. A small, functional bit of site infrastructure history — the kind of quality-of-life addition that marked the community trying to grow beyond text posts.
Fkn0wned.Com now has a team speak server.— [FkN] Bisdale
Very awesome.Cant wait to hear what some of these nubs on staff sound like.HAHAH(JK)— Rockforce
How To Not Get Banned (3 Warns = Instant Ban)
The rulebook that decided whether you stayed in the crew or got the boot after three strikes.
A staff-posted news/updates thread laying out Fkn0wned.Com's warning system: accumulate three warns and you're auto-banned. Posted by founding staff member c0ke, it served as the community's baseline conduct policy during the site's CS 1.6/CSS/BF2 hacking-and-gaming forum days. It's a housekeeping post rather than a discussion, aimed at keeping newer members in line.
3 Warns = Instant Ban— c0ke
Call for BF2/BF2142 Forum Moderators
Fkn0wned puts out the call: who's got what it takes to mod the BF2/BF2142 forums?
Head Admin Bisdale posts an open recruitment thread looking for moderators for the BF2 and BF2142 sections of the forum. The criteria emphasize familiarity with game exploits/hacks, forum activity, and a modest daily time commitment, with a clear note that interested members should reply publicly rather than PM. One early respondent, an Australian BF2 player, throws their hat in the ring citing knowledge of exploits and general availability. A small, everyday glimpse into how this cheat-scene community organized its volunteer staff.
Do not PM me about this. I will PM people I choose. Serious applicants only.— [FkN] Bisdale
i hack and also i no HEEPS of stage glitches and exploits, im easy to talk to and i am willing to help out.— retarded_elephant69
Search Before Posting - Bisdale's Housekeeping Notice
The classic 'use the search button' mod post every early cheat forum eventually had to make.
A brief administrative announcement from site founder/Head Admin [FkN] Bisdale, posted in the News + Updates section back in August 2006. It's a simple plea for members to use the forum's search function before starting duplicate threads or asking for things already covered, aimed at easing the moderation burden. A small but telling artifact of the site's early days, showing Bisdale as Member No. 1 and the forum still finding its footing.
Before asking a question or requesting warez/passwords please use the search function. It is not a difficult thing to do.— [FkN] Bisdale
Almost as simple as google!— [FkN] Bisdale
IRC Channel Relaunch Announcement

It's a short, functional site-news post meant to pull the crew together into live chat for support and hangout time. The lone reply is from a brand-new one-post member gushing about the site and (in classic scene fashion) trying to sweet-talk the admins for a handout.

A brief staff announcement posted in the News + Updates section by founding/early member c0ke, dated July 2007. The post header simply flags 'a few changes' to the site's staff lineup, typical of the periodic housekeeping threads used to keep the community informed about moderator and admin roles. The surviving text is mostly forum chrome and profile metadata, with the substantive announcement details not preserved in this archive fragment.
A few changes, read here— c0ke

The night c0ke warned everyone the site was about to go dark for an upgrade.

Source Engine Update Released (June 2007)
Valve dropped a Source engine patch — and the forum scrambled to figure out what it broke.
A brief news post in the Site Related > News + Updates section announcing that a Source Engine update had been released, dated June 12, 2007. Posted by c0ke, an early, low-numbered member (Member No. 1) and retired FkN staffer, this was standard housekeeping content for the era — keeping the community informed about engine changes that could affect CS:S and other Source-based games. The post itself is short, functioning as a heads-up rather than a discussion starter.
