Fkn0wned Crew Recruitment Applications
Half the forum's old guard lines up to apply for staff — and immediately starts ribbing each other about it
A Site News thread where longtime Fkn0wned members announce they've applied for open 'Crew' (staff) positions, wishing each other luck. A former staffer explains that Crew duties went beyond moderation, including specific assigned tasks like maintaining the cheat database. The thread has the loose, familiar banter of a small close-knit community — inside jokes, sig-editing pranks, and casual jabs between regulars, alongside one member's account-selling vouch thread pasted in for credibility.
Applied. Hoping for the best, like most of you are I guess. Good luck to everyone!— Kudi
When I was on staff, my assignment was to update the cheat archive and keep it updated at all times.— mystical
youre applying again? and IVE APPLIED!— Cosmonty
The State of Fkn0wned [5/25/12]
A site news update sparks talk of game walkthroughs, growth plans, and community goodwill.
This was a Site News announcement thread on Fkn0wned dated May 25, 2012, giving members an update on the state of the forum. The replies are mostly supportive, with members thanking staff for transparency and floating ideas like adding game walkthroughs to draw in more traffic and grow the member base.

I hope it goes well, can't complain when someone is putting in effort that isn't getting anything but appreciation and respect.. Do work son— nullvoid
RAT/Trojan Warning Thread
The mods drop a warning about rats hiding in your downloads.
A staff/site notice posted in the Minor Updates section flagging concerns about RATs (Remote Access Trojans) circulating on the forum, likely bundled with shared cheats or tools. This kind of thread was a recurring feature of the site's culture — a reminder that the same community trading hacks and cheats was also constantly policing itself against malware smuggled in under the guise of 'free' downloads. The page itself is mostly site chrome and forum navigation, with the actual warning content trimmed, but the title alone captures the ever-present cat-and-mouse trust issue on cheat-scene forums.
Good Bye and Good Luck Mystical
A staffer's farewell thread — the kind of goodbye post that marked the slow end of an era.
This was a brief announcement-style thread in the 'Minor Updates' section of Site Related, marking the departure of a member or staffer known as Mystical. It reads as one of the small farewell posts common to forum communities winding down or losing longtime contributors, with members presumably chiming in with well-wishes. No real drama or detail survives in the extracted content beyond the title and forum structure itself.
Mickey, Fuser, and Manlosa Promoted to Super Moderator
Three names get bumped up the ladder — the congrats thread that shows who was who on Fkn0wned in late 2013
A Site News announcement thread celebrating the promotion of members Mickey, Fuser, and Manlosa to Super Moderator status. The replies are the usual congratulatory pile-on from regulars, mixing genuine praise with community banter and signature-style post-count tracking. A snapshot of forum culture at the time — VIP tags, '1K Club' badges, and members reminding each other to use the report button.
Congratulation mates, well deserved! Use that REPORT button, it helps more than you think!— dexie
Congratz ppl— CoBrAxD
Welcome d0t1q, hippie and Johnny Walker to FkN Crew!
The day three names got promoted into the FkN Crew — and everybody stopped by to say gz.
A Site News announcement thread congratulating three members — d0t1q, hippie, and Johnny Walker — on being welcomed into the 'FkN Crew,' evidently some kind of trusted/staff-adjacent rank on the forum. The replies are short congratulatory messages from other members, including a VIP-tagged regular and a '1K Club' member, giving a glimpse of the site's internal status hierarchy (VIP, 1K Club) and its vouch-based reputation culture.
Congratulations guys— Kudi
grats guys!awesome work!— mrxfire97977
Goodbye zanderdanmark
One of Fkn0wned's own said their farewells — a small update thread that marked the end of an era for someone in the crew.
A short 'Minor Updates' announcement thread marking the departure of member zanderdanmark from the Fkn0wned Forum. These threads typically served as the site's bulletin board for staff/member comings and goings, and this one was dedicated to a goodbye. The actual page content is mostly forum navigation and database chrome, with the real farewell messages likely spread across the thread's pages.
Welcome Kudi to the FkN crew!
A new staffer joins FkN0wned — page one of a three-page welcome thread.
A short site-announcement thread from the 'Minor Updates' subforum announcing that a member called Kudi had joined the FkN0wned staff/crew. The post kicked off a multi-page (3 pages) round of community congratulations and welcomes, typical of how the site marked new staff additions. No drama or technical content here, just a routine but well-received site milestone.
Gazzac has been demoted from [FkN]Crew
A crew demotion thread that ran long enough to hit page 2 of drama and reactions.
This 'Minor Updates' thread announced that a member known as Gazzac had been demoted from the [FkN]Crew staff/member group. By page two the discussion was ongoing, with members weighing in on the decision, though the exact reasons and specifics of the fallout aren't preserved in this excerpt. It's a small but telling artifact of how internal rank changes on fkn0wned were publicly logged and discussed rather than handled quietly.
403 Errors, Downtime, and Account Impersonation Reports
Site's throwing 403s, someone's ghost-posting as you, and the old guard is just shrugging it off
A Site News thread where members reported recurring 403 forbidden errors and general lag/downtime issues on the forum. One long-time member (SNK) also flagged a stranger-things problem: people apparently posting under his account. Responses were casual and unbothered, with veterans treating it as just another rough patch the forum would weather, and a newer member chiming in with reassurance that 'every forum goes through this.'
I'm getting the 403 forbidden messages now, The CTRL+F5 doesn't really work for me at all times. An who are these people posting on your account with -Blah.— SNK
Don't worreh. Every forum goes through this. They'll give up eventually. They're just jealous. Lol.— W-H
VIP Referral Contest
A referral contest that ended in someone rage-quitting over the '20 people' target
This was a Site News thread announcing a VIP referral contest, where members were encouraged to recruit new users via YouTube, Facebook, or other platforms to earn rewards. A participant named Self grumbled about the difficulty of the referral quota and threatened to drop out, prompting a dismissive but good-natured reply from staffer d0t1q ([FkN] ServerTech) essentially telling them not to let the door hit them on the way out. A small, low-stakes bit of forum friction typical of community contest threads.
No it won't be to use proxy or vpn but no point at it, so i guess i'll quit from this.— Self
no one forced you to join but thanks for participating— d0t1q
TheJah, Tripication, and trs promoted to SMod!
Three names climb the fkn0wned ladder — congrats roll in for the forum's newest Super Mods.
A Site News announcement marking the promotion of three members — TheJah, Tripication, and trs — to Super Moderator status on the fkn0wned forum. The visible reply is a short congratulatory note from VIP member DonStefano, reflecting the community's casual, supportive tone toward staff milestones. This kind of thread was typical of the site's internal culture, where rank changes and staff shakeups were publicly celebrated.
Congrats to all 3 ^^!— DonStefano
Monster Back to Crew
A returning member's minor update thread — pure early-2010s forum housekeeping.
This was a short 'Minor Updates' post announcing that a member (going by 'Monster') was back with the crew, likely a brief status/reconnection update rather than a substantial announcement. The page itself is mostly site navigation and board index chrome, with the actual thread content largely absent, typical of the small housekeeping posts that filled out the Site Related section between bigger cheat-database and gaming discussions.
Member of the Month: August - JeremyLin
August's Member of the Month announcement drama on Fkn0wned.
This page is a 'Minor Updates' announcement post naming the Member of the Month for August, awarded to a user going by JeremyLin. It sits in the Site Related section of the Fkn0wned Forum, which also served as a hub for cheat/hack databases and gaming discussion. The extracted content is mostly site navigation and board structure, with no substantive discussion text preserved.
Forums Upgraded (Site News, v3.3.1 patch chatter)
The night fkn0wned pushed a software update and everyone just talked about the bugs
A short Site News thread documenting a forum software upgrade to version 3.3.1. Regulars AngelsDead and ap3x go back and forth about a minor glitch that cropped up after the update, with ap3x (a 'Retired and Respected' staffer) confirming the issue shouldn't persist post-patch and AngelsDead reporting it resolved itself. A small, mundane slice of forum housekeeping rather than drama, but a nice time capsule of the site's admin/community dynamic.
does this belong with a bug comming from the upgrade?— AngelsDead
This shouldn't be in 3.3.1, try your post again— ap3x
Linking to your Logger - Minor Updates
A quiet little site-update thread about how members were supposed to link back to their loggers.
This was a brief announcement/discussion in the Minor Updates section, part of Site Related on the Fkn0wned forum. It dealt with a small technical/policy tweak regarding how users should link to their 'logger' tools within the site. Not a major event in forum history, just routine housekeeping typical of the site's constant tinkering during the cheat-scene era.
Fkn0wned Clothing - Minor Updates
The merch line got a tweak — a tiny footnote in the site's endless list of small fixes.
A short administrative post in the 'Minor Updates' log noting a change related to 'Fkn0wned Clothing,' presumably a site merchandise line tied to the forum's branding. The surrounding page shows the classic structure of the old Fkn0wned Forum: its database of game cheats/hacks (CS 1.6, CoD, Battlefield 3, Minecraft, RuneScape sections in various states of 'coming soon'), plus its General, Gaming, Market, and Security & Hacking categories. Not much drama here — just routine site upkeep from the era when the forum was actively maintained.
Fkn0wned Forum Index (Site Related section)
The front door to fkn0wned — VIP subs, a cheat database, and a board called 'Porn Paradise' all one click apart.
This is a snapshot of the Fkn0wned forum's main index/navigation rather than a discussion thread — showing the site's structure: Board Rules, VIP subscriptions, staff/member pages, and a Cheat & Hacks database covering games like Counter-Strike 1.6/CZ/Source, Black Ops, and CoD4/MW2, with Steam, Battlefield 3, Minecraft, and Runescape marked 'coming soon.' The Forum itself was split into categories like Site Related, General, Leechers Galore, Gaming Market, Security & Hacking, Art and Design, and the notoriously named Porn Paradise. It captures the classic early-2010s 'cheat scene' forum layout — part hacking/cheats hub, part general community hangout, with VIP perks baked into the site's economy.
