How to Get a Girl's Attention

A 2007 'tutorial' on picking up girls devolves into forum members roasting each other over pickup lines and setting yourself on fire

User complex posted a hidden-content 'how-to' guide (15 steps) on getting a girl's attention in the Tutorials section, requiring a reply to unlock it — a common forum trick to farm post counts. The thread mostly consists of members joking about the advice, riffing on absurd alternatives like getting naked and lighting yourself on fire, and several posters dismissing the guide as obvious 'common sense' padded out with extra words. It's a lighthearted, low-effort thread typical of the forum's off-topic tutorial spam, with regulars trading one-liners rather than serious discussion.

Get naked catch yourself on fire and dance in the street like a monkey, that will get everyones attention :D— lol

yeah you will get attention but NOT a date— complex

that was a big waste of time reading all of that, thats pretty much common sense written longer— Wtts

How to Edit the Fkn0wned Website (Reply-Farm Tutorial)

A quickie web-design trick tutorial that mostly just farmed 'unhide' replies for two years straight

Member thejah posted a short tip about tweaking the Fkn0wned website's front-end (framed as general web design knowledge applicable to any site), locked behind the classic hidden-content-for-reply gate. The thread devolved almost immediately into a wall of one-word 'unhide'/'thanks'/'ty' posts from members just trying to unlock the content, with only a couple of people (April) actually engaging with the technical substance. It ran quietly from November 2009 through March 2010, a good little snapshot of the forum's reply-farming culture around tutorial threads.

if u already kno website design u probably know how to do this already who knows but chk it— thejah

U could just add this on the java script on the address bar instead of making a bookmark but yhea, its faster if u're going to edit many :D— April

im 3 what this?— f0wh

[Tut] Apocalypse — GFX Tutorial by Salve

A quick apocalypse-themed GFX tutorial that got a shrug and a defense from the mods.

A short-lived tutorial thread in the GFX Basement where user Salve posted a link to an 'Apocalypse' style graphic tutorial hosted on DeviantArt, fishing for reputation points. Longtime member Kimmi (a Super Moderator) praised the result, while another member, Abysmal, wasn't impressed, calling the technique easy but disliking the outcome. It's a small, everyday slice of the site's Art & Design culture rather than a major event.

this looks really easy but I dont even like the outcome— Abysmal

IMO, looks great :)— Kimmi

How to Clean-Up Your Steam Registry

A one-line registry tutorial that mostly just collected 'thx' replies from the reply-to-unlock crowd

A short tutorial thread posted by forum smod PopTart (crediting a user named Nix) in the Tutorials section, explaining how to clean out leftover Steam registry entries — content was hidden behind a 'reply to see' wall, a common fkn0wned convention. Replies were mostly low-effort ('let me see', 'thx', 'asda'), though one member noted the newer Steam client had stopped storing user data in the registry the same way, still leaving a clientregistry.blob file behind. Nothing dramatic here, just a small slice of the site's everyday tutorial traffic and its reply-gated content culture.

new steam client doesnt save user data in registry, suspiciously... but its still got the clientregistry.blob file— aimshot120

Let me see— sweetheart

How To Ruin Someone's Cell Phone

A 2010 'prank tutorial' on flooding someone's phone with texts until their bill (or sanity) breaks.

Member Mufleh posted a short tutorial in the Tutorials board outlining two crude methods for spamming a target's phone with endless text messages using web-based SMS gateways and a phone's own resend function. It's a small, casual thread typical of the site's prank/tutorial culture — quick to post, low effort, aimed at annoying an ex or a 'retard kid.' pheonixinwater chimed in approvingly, already scheming about who to target, and Mufleh egged him on. No real drama, just a snapshot of the site's juvenile mischief-sharing vibe.

if u know a retard kid or EX GF You will have fun and they will cry over the Bill :p— Mufleh

Sweet as tutorial bro, keep em coming! Just trying to think of a target now ;)— pheonixinwater

Adobe Illustrator CS3 Classroom in a Book (RS ebook share)

Someone dumped a whole Adobe design textbook here in 2007 — because why buy software manuals when Fkn0wned has you covered

A short, quiet thread in the Tutorials sub-board of the Red Light District where user AcidViper shared a two-part RapidShare link to the Adobe Illustrator CS3 'Classroom in a Book' guide as a CHM ebook. It's a small piece of the site's broader ebook/warez-sharing culture rather than a discussion thread — a handful of members dropped by to say thanks or ask how to get the files working. Nothing dramatic happened; it's a snapshot of the era's casual, no-questions-asked file-sharing norm among a gaming/cheat community that also traded design and software tutorials on the side.

Enjoy, -Acid.— AcidViper

how do u get this to work?— cctnfg

How To Make A Simple Spammer (VB.NET Tutorial)

A five-minute VB.NET crash course in making a chat-spam bot — beginner tier only.

A short beginner tutorial posted in the Tutorials board by member Shine, walking through building a bare-bones auto-text-sender using Visual Basic 2008 (two buttons, a textbox, and a timer). Fellow member lam3r chimed in acknowledging it was extremely basic but a decent intro to VB.NET's GUI and timers for total newcomers. Shine promised a follow-up 'advanced' version with screenshots and video, though it's not part of this page. Low-drama, low-key thread — just a starter coding lesson typical of the forum's tutorials section.

well about as simple as it gets, but yeah i guess worthwhile to know if you have barely any experience with VB— lam3r

Something simple for the ones new to vb.net— Shine

Fear - GFX Tutorial by Kimmi

A tiny GFX tutorial post that barely got three replies but somehow stuck around forever

A short-lived tutorial thread in the GFX Basement (under Art & Design > Tutorials) where senior member Kimmi shared a graphic design piece titled 'Fear', asking for +rep from anyone who liked it. The thread only drew two brief replies of appreciation before going quiet, a typical low-key moment in the forum's design community.

+rep if you liked— Kimmi

awesome kimmi.— BONxFIRE

Make Firefox Run 10 Times Faster!

The old about:config trick everyone swore made Firefox fly — brought to you by 2007 dial-up/ADSL wisdom.

A tutorial posted by staff member Sonikk in the Red Light District's Tutorials subforum, sharing a popular era-appropriate tweak for speeding up Firefox by editing hidden about:config network and rendering settings. Classic mid-2000s 'browser optimization' folklore that circulated across many forums at the time. Nothing dramatic here, just a helpful staff post with a 'use at your own risk' disclaimer.

Make firefox run 10 times faster by following these simple steps— Sonikk

Use at your own risk!— Sonikk

Raging Websites?

One guy wanted to know how to make an enemy clan's site 'fail completely' — and got told to take it to the Raging subforum instead.

A short, almost quaint thread from August 2009 in the Tutorials board where user PhraseS, annoyed at some rival clan forums, asked if there was an existing guide on how to 'rage' websites into oblivion. The only reply came from veteran member Rock Superstar, who simply pointed out it was posted in the wrong section (the forum actually had a dedicated 'Raging' subforum under PC Gaming). No tutorial, no drama beyond the initial ask — just a quick misfire and a redirect, a tiny snapshot of the site's raid/rage culture and its very literal forum organization.

Is there anything already here that i haven't seen on how to rage them, as in post shit everywhere and make the website fail completely?— PhraseS

wrong section i think— Rock Superstar

Balloon Bomb

A propane-and-balloons 'tutorial' that even the regulars said was in the wrong section

A short-lived thread in the Red Light District's Tutorials subforum where user Janza posted a DIY balloon-bomb writeup involving propane gas and household items. It got almost no traction — one reply called it 'fKn hectic' and pointed out it was posted in the wrong section, and another member chimed in with an unrelated console-sales plug. Typical of the fringe, anything-goes tone of the Red Light District area of the site.

Be Creative and have fun. Feel free to spread the word.— Janza

wrong section..— Cud

Get Free Hosting Accounts (reply-to-unhide thread)

A classic 'reply to unhide' tutorial thread that mostly turned into a chorus of 'unhide' and 'ty'

A Tutorials-board thread from April 2009 where user at3b posted a guide (hidden behind a reply-to-unlock wall) claiming to offer free web hosting accounts. As typical for this kind of post, the replies are almost entirely one-word 'unhide'/'ty' bumps from members trying to reveal the hidden content, with a bit of off-topic joking and one user noting they got hit with an anti-bot/cheating ban message unrelated to the topic. No real discussion of the hosting method itself takes place in the visible text.

unhide oh lol "You have been banned because our systems have flagged you for using scripts (or bots), cheating, or other reasons."— cjainy

fuck yo couch niguhhhhhhh— OmfgzATree

Windows 7 Tips And Tweaks

A hidden-content tweak dump that people were still thanking xXHeistXx for months later

A short tutorial thread in the Tutorials section where longtime member xXHeistXx posted a collection of Windows 7 tips and tweaks behind the forum's standard 'reply to unlock' hidden content wall. The replies are mostly quick one-word thank-yous spread out over several months in late 2009 and early 2010, showing the thread had lasting traffic as new members found it well after posting. Nothing dramatic happened here — it's a small, typical utility thread of the era, useful more as a snapshot of forum culture (hidden-content gating, bump-for-thanks etiquette) than for its actual content.

thanks just installed this over the weekend.— marz

danke schoooon— aimshot120

How to Annoy People in an Elevator (FUNNY)

A goofy hidden-content joke list that got buried in the Tutorials board, of all places

A lighthearted off-topic joke post by VIP member Decclan, listing classic 'annoy people in an elevator' gags behind the forum's hidden-content wall (a common trick to force replies before viewing content). It's not really a tutorial at all, just filler humor tucked into the Tutorials section under General Leechers Galore. A handful of regulars dropped in with quick one-word reactions and thanks, showing the casual, low-effort camaraderie typical of the board.

Oh these are pretty good lol.— EqueL

thanks! haha grouphug!— princeglenn

Xbox 360 Modding Guide (2007)

l3m0nz drops a 2007 Xbox 360 modding guide in the Red Light District — Dr.Lol says he'll get around to it eventually

A short-lived tutorial thread from late 2007 in the Tutorials sub-board of the Red Light District, where user l3m0nz posted a download link claiming to show how to modify an Xbox 360 to run burned games. Reception was mild — a couple of members chimed in with brief, low-effort replies rather than any real discussion or follow-up. Notable mainly as a snapshot of the console-modding hype of that era and for l3m0nz's memorable 'yougotrickrolled.com' tagline, posted while banned.

This shows you how to hack/modify your xbox 360 to run burn games uplauded by me— l3m0nz

I must try this some time— Dr.Lol

Kelton's RuneScape Skill Guide Pack

One rar file, nine skills, and a mandatory 'say thanks' — classic 2009 forum currency.

A short late-2009-era Tutorials post by longtime member kelton (already a '1K Wonder' with 1,295 posts by this point) sharing a compiled archive of RuneScape skill guides covering things like Agility, Fletching, Slayer, and the then-new Summoning skill. It's a typical low-frills resource-sharing post from the site's MMORPG/tutorial culture, hosted on Rapidshare with a password gate, and the customary request that readers post thanks in return. Nothing dramatic here, just a small artifact of the forum's guide-sharing economy from its General/Tutorials section.

Please enjoy and remember to say thanks every one!— kelton

How to Burn an ISO Image Using Nero Burning ROM

A relic from when 'burn this to a CD' was still everyday advice.

A short, plain-language tutorial posted by longtime member kelton in the Tutorials board, walking through the basic steps of burning an ISO image to a blank CD using Nero Burning ROM. It's a classic snapshot of late-2000s internet culture, back when disc burning software tutorials were staple content on gaming/tech forums. The post is bare-bones and utilitarian, with screenshots hosted on old image sites like TinyPic and Imageshack, typical of the era.

After few minutes your cd is ready to use Enjoy !— kelton

Real Punching (2007 e-book share)

A self-defense e-book drop in the Red Light District gets a lukewarm 'lol k' from half the thread

In October 2007, member anarchie65 posted a shared PDF of Geoff Thompson's martial arts book 'Real Punching' in the Tutorials sub-board of Fkn0wned's Red Light District. Replies ranged from mild interest and thanks to outright indifference ('it's shit'), with a few members vouching for the author's credibility as a martial artist. A low-effort but fairly typical file-sharing thread for the board, more notable for the cross-section of regulars dropping in than for the content itself.

no, it's shit, thanks. I will need this soon.— The Moose

geoff thompson is a highly recommended martial artist— asstwat

This doesn't sound very useful, but k.— trance144

This Girl Is AMAZING. Sort of

A dead-simple link-share thread that somehow spirals into a 'how old are you' callout

Janza drops a link to some kontraband.com video/animation with an NSFW/SFW tag, sparking a handful of one-liner reactions from regulars. A minor derail happens when one member questions whether the content is too 'childish' for the crowd, prompting Janza to reply with a curt 'Wut?' The thread is otherwise a quintessential low-effort filler post typical of the Tutorials board being used for random link-sharing rather than actual tutorials, and it got locked after petering out with a few 'lol' replies.

I could watch that for hours.— Janza

all i see is a white screen -.-— ICE}

janza how old are you ??? is it not a bit movie for kids or pretty wack people?— masterpikkie

CSS World of Pwnage Guide (dead link, mostly mockery)

A 2007 Counter-Strike: Source 'skill guide' that got way more side-eye than downloads

Posted in the Tutorials sub-board of the Red Light District, this thread shared a third-party guide claiming to help improve CS:S skills. The original poster admitted upfront it wasn't their own work and that the download link was already dead. Replies were mostly skeptical one-liners and jokes from regulars, with several members boasting they didn't need a guide and others just tossing in low-effort 'lol' or 'kk' replies typical of the board's throwaway tutorial threads.

sry no links to it anymore.. maybe someone who has dlded this could up it again..— anarchie65

lol, i dont need a guide to tell me how good i am... I AM l337— tracyfan_1

no, it's shit, thanks. Okay, let's see if there's anything I didn't know?— The Moose

Since You Guys Like Violence So Much

A dude drops a shock-value fight video, and the whole thread just laughs and adds more.

A short, low-effort off-topic thread from May 2007 where member 3dstz posted a violent joke video with a jokingly edgy caption, and other regulars piled on with more links and one-line reactions. It's pure filler/banter rather than a tutorial despite being filed under the Tutorials board, capturing the casual, juvenile humor typical of the forum at the time. The thread quickly fizzled out with a handful of replies before being locked.

Never scare a black dude— 3dstz

RIFK at this one!ahahaha MITTEN IN DIE FRESSE!!— Botoxx

Lmao, Tyrone are you going trick or treating pop right in the face— Pinoy Ninja

Change the Start Icon in Windows 7 (Duplicate Tutorial Thread)

A dead-simple Windows tweak thread that just turned into a 'search button exists' pile-on

A member called dgrock posted a hidden-content tutorial on how to change the Windows 7 Start orb icon, only to be immediately called out for reposting something already covered on the forum. The thread devolved into some light ribbing, complete with a classic 'use the search button' image macro, before petering out with a couple of low-effort replies. A small, forgettable Tutorials-section moment, but a nice snapshot of the forum's casual repost-shaming culture and VIP members throwing their weight around in the replies.

Already posted.— [VIP] FR3QU3NCY

idk i never saw this tut in here...— dgrock

I've seen this post before too— Charlie

[E-Book] Beginners Guide to Microsoft Office Word 2003

A 2007 rapidshare drop of a Word 2003 e-book, plus a classic 'download this to say thanks' gag.

A staff member posted a rapidshare link to an 'Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Word 2003' e-book in the Tutorials sub-board of the Red Light District section. The post included a tongue-in-cheek 'thanks file' download as a joke payment for the upload. A couple of members replied casually, one grateful for help finding Word features, another poking fun at the idea anyone still used Word 2003 by late 2007.

i totally suck at finding stuff on word— minitureman

i didnt think people used word 2003 anymore— pyeman

Tutorials Board Index — Fkn0wned Forum

From bypassing Steam Guard to 'How to not fail in life' — the Tutorials board had absolutely everything, and none of it was serious.

This is the index page of the Tutorials subforum under General Leechers Galore, a grab-bag section that mixed genuinely practical guides (bypassing Steam Guard, internet anonymity, Usenet downloading) with a flood of absurd meme 'Pic Tuts' clearly farmed out by user Phenex for post count or laughs. The board's tone swings wildly from gaming/tech tricks to jokey life-hack lists to some outright dubious or shady topics (exam cheating, lock picking, 'free money' schemes), giving a good snapshot of the anarchic, anything-goes culture of the forum. Pinned threads show basic housekeeping (rules, a top tutorials directory, an anonymity mega-guide) while the live list is dominated by rapid-fire joke threads all posted the same day and immediately swarmed with replies from regulars like zhyper2, KniferArX, and danieldemooij.

How to not fail in life— Phenex

Tutorials (Password-Protected Sub-Forum)

The one board on the whole site you couldn't just wander into — you needed the secret word.

This is the landing/gate page for Fkn0wned.com's 'Tutorials' forum, one of many sections under a larger cheat/gaming community that also hosted a public cheat database for titles like Counter-Strike, Battlefield, and America's Army. Unlike the open boards, this section was locked behind a separate forum password, meaning guests and even some registered members couldn't see the actual content without extra clearance. The page itself is just the access-denied/password-prompt screen, a small artifact of how tightly the site's more sensitive material was gated.

This forum is protected by a password!

Tutorials (Password-Protected Forum)

The one board on fkn0wned you could see but never actually open.

This is the Tutorials section index page from Fkn0wned.com, a defunct early-2010s cheat/gaming forum covering Counter-Strike, Battlefield, America's Army, Maple Story and Steam-related titles. The page itself is just a gatekeeper screen demanding a separate forum password before guests could view the Tutorials content, layered on top of the site's normal registration wall. No actual thread content survived in this capture — just the site's category structure and the access barrier.
