Free Steam Trading Cards exploit thread
A 2013 Steam trading-card 'exploit' that had half the forum just posting 'ty'
This was a long-running thread in the Miscellaneous & General tutorials section claiming to reveal an exclusive method to get every Steam trading card for free, right when Steam's trading card system was brand new and hyped. By the time of this archived page (post #59-60, page 2 of 27), the actual content had scrolled far behind — the visible posts are just members dropping quick 'thanks' and 'ty' replies, a classic sign of a popular giveaway/exploit thread. It shows the era's appetite for free Steam loot exploits and how such threads devolved into pages of gratitude spam.

How To Touch a Girl
A cheat forum's off-topic section once hosted a thread literally titled 'How To Touch a Girl.'
This page is mostly recovered site navigation and category listings from the Fkn0wned forum, an early-2010s gaming/cheat-scene community with sections for CS 1.6, COD, cheat databases, and general off-topic banter. The actual thread content didn't survive the archive, but its title alone captures the goofy, hormonal, off-topic energy typical of teenage forum culture that existed alongside the site's hacking and gaming focus. It's a small artifact of the 'General/Leechers Galore' off-topic boards where members joked around outside of cheat discussion.
How to get an Origin account and not have it retrieved by the Original Owner
A thread title that's basically a confession and a how-to guide rolled into one shady package.
The only surviving trace of this thread is its title, promising tips on holding onto a claimed Origin (EA) account without the original owner clawing it back. It sat in Fkn0wned's Miscellaneous & General area, typical of the site's account-trading and account-security discussions from its cheat-scene heyday. No actual post content survived in this archive capture, just the navigation chrome and category listings around it. It's a small, telling artifact of the kind of gray-area account traffic that flowed through the forum.
[TUT] The Anonymity Tutorial
The obligatory 'how to stay anonymous online' tutorial thread every cheat-scene forum had one of.
A tutorial-style thread posted in the Miscellaneous & General area offering guidance on staying anonymous online, a common genre of post on cheat/hacking-adjacent forums of the era. The archived page mostly preserves site navigation and category structure (Cheat & Hacks database, Security & Hacking, Gaming Market, etc.) rather than the actual tutorial text, which wasn't captured. It reflects the general security-conscious culture typical of Fkn0wned's userbase.
How to Crack Combination Locks
Old-school forum life-hack thread: the one where fkn0wned tried to teach everyone lockpicking-adjacent tricks instead of game cheats for once.
A miscellaneous/general-discussion thread on the fkn0wned forum offering a guide on cracking combination locks, a break from the site's usual cheat-scene and gaming focus. The archived page mostly preserves site navigation and category listings rather than the actual post content, but it shows the forum's structure at the time, spanning gaming cheat databases (CS 1.6, CoD, Battlefield 3, Minecraft) and general sections like Security & Hacking, Gaming Market, and Porn Paradise. It's a small snapshot of the eclectic, anything-goes 'general' culture typical of early-2010s cheat/hacking forums.
PayPal Verify Method thread
A late-2012 'thanks bump' train — 90% of this thread is just members saying 'ty'
This was a thread in the Miscellaneous & General area of Fkn0wned where someone originally posted a method related to PayPal account verification, a fairly common genre of post on cheat/hacking-scene forums of that era. What survives here is mostly the tail end of the thread — a long string of low-effort reply-and-bump posts ('ty', 'thanks', 'k') from a mix of new members and established regulars acknowledging the original post. It captures the mundane, repetitive texture of forum life rather than any dramatic moment.

[TUT] How to send a blank status on Facebook
A tiny Facebook party trick preserved for the ages — peak early-2010s forum filler.
A short tutorial thread teaching the old novelty trick of posting a 'blank' Facebook status, the kind of low-stakes gimmick tutorial that filled out the Miscellaneous & General section between bigger cheat and hacking discussions. It's a small artifact of the era when forums like this mixed serious cheat-scene content with harmless social media tricks and general tech tips. No real drama or notable names attached, just a piece of everyday forum life.
Earn 3 Euros in 1 Minute
The classic 'quick cash online' thread every early-2010s forum had — for better or worse.
A tutorials-board post pitching a way to earn a small amount of money (3 Euros) quickly online, typical of the get-rich-quick / micro-earning threads that circulated on gaming and cheat forums of the era. The archived page only preserves the surrounding forum shell and navigation, with the actual pitch and replies not captured in this excerpt. It sits in the general 'Miscellaneous & General' tutorials section alongside other random money-making and lifestyle tips threads.
