Does Just Having a Hack Installed Get You VAC Banned?
Can VAC ban you just for having a hack installed but not running? The eternal cheat-scene urban legend gets debated.
A member named jacal panics after hearing a rumor that merely having a cheat on your computer (even unused) could trigger a VAC ban, and asks the Counter-Strike: Source support forum to confirm or debunk it. Several regulars weigh in with reassurances and half-technical explanations about how VAC actually scans for active game modifications rather than dormant files. It's a small, mundane slice of the cheat-scene FAQ grind — the kind of anxious 'will I get banned' thread that popped up constantly on sites like Fkn0wned.
ok so heardoff a friend thatif i have a hack on the computer but not inuse u can getvac banned is this true or not plz help— jacal
No, you can't get banned for just having them.— cedars

Guy With Pirated CSS Wants Hacks to Work
Torrented Counter-Strike: Source, wanted cheats running too — the forum's answer: pay up.
A member named OneShotEddie admitted to running a torrented, non-Steam copy of CSS and asked for help fixing crashes when trying to launch it alongside a hack. Rather than offering a fix, regulars piled on with blunt 'buy it' and 'get a legit account through the trade section' responses, with a bit of ribbing about affordability. It's a small, mundane support thread but a nice time-capsule of the era's account-trading culture and the community's low patience for pirated-copy troubleshooting.
buy it— ballistic
not everyone is rich like you— Afteryou
Rofl, if he cant afford css then i suggest him to get a job.— banak
Battlefield 2 Keygen Thread (with Trojan Warning)
A 2009 BF2 keygen drop that turned into a trojan-warning debate mid-thread
In July 2009, member officerownage posted a hidden download link claiming to be a working Battlefield 2 keygen, with a tip about swapping keys if banned from a server. The thread quickly filled with the classic 'unhide'/'thanks' one-liners typical of download threads, but a few members pushed back — one user (eiskaffe) claimed to have sandboxed the file and called it a trojan, sparking mild skepticism and jokes rather than real outrage. The vibe is low-stakes and casual, padded out over weeks by regulars just farming the unlock, with some banter (including a running joke from Numi and the unnamed member) thrown in.
Ok i checked in sandboxie its 100% trojan or jsut bunch of shit lol just look at the discription!!!— eiskaffe
If this works ill sex you!— Numi
PS: Numi, I think it will work well *cough*.— the unnamed
Insurgency WallHack Thread
A guy shares a shady Insurgency wallhack, admits the recording sucked, and someone still says thanks a month later
In this 2009 'Other Games' thread, member wannabe12 posted a supposed VAC-proof wallhack for the game Insurgency, complete with a hidden download link and a low-quality demo video. The thread is short and casual, with a couple of members struggling to access the hidden link, some ribbing about the poor video quality, and wannabe12 admitting the hack itself 'sucked balls' but was posted anyway because it was free and cracked. It's a small, forgettable slice of the era's cheat-sharing culture and the community's easygoing back-and-forth banter.
Dude you loved a hack ewww.. lol jokes.— zeksta
Ye i just found it on fkn0wned and it was cracked so i was like why not, But man did it suck balls.— wannabe12

KZH (Kreedz Hack) / HNS Cheat Request
One-post newbie asks for a 'still working' CS 1.6 cheat and gets clowned into the wrong forum entirely.
A brand-new member named kavika opened this thread asking if anyone would share an updated, still-not-VAC-detected version of a Counter-Strike 1.6 cheat after a previous thread on the topic had been closed by admins. Regulars f0wh and h4voCK immediately shut it down, calling it 'leeching' and posting in the wrong section, while admin ap3x clarified that 'Kreedz' actually referred to the HL2 bunny-hop mod and moved the thread out of Counter-Strike into Other Games. It's a short, dead-end exchange that captures the forum's low tolerance for one-post cheat-begging threads.
Plus, this is leeching at its finest. Nut up or get out.— h4voCK
Wrong section :rtfm:— f0wh
Pretty sure the Kreedz you're talking about is the HL2 bhop mod, so I'll /move this to Other Games.— ap3x
GMod Gamemode Leak Dump
Someone dumped a rar of stolen Garry's Mod gamemodes straight from Kuromeku, NoxiousNet, and TacoNBanana — and half the thread just showed up to say 'unhide'.
A 2009 post by xXHeistXx shared a Rapidshare archive of leaked Garry's Mod gamemodes lifted from several then-known GMod communities (Kuromeku, NoxiousNet, TacoNBanana). The thread is a classic drive-by download post: short thanks, a few hidden-content unlock requests, and one user asking which TacoScript version was included. Nothing dramatic happened, just a small, steady trickle of members over several months grabbing the file and moving on — a tiny snapshot of the era's casual gamemode-leaking culture on the PC Gaming board.
Thanks. Worked well. Fun too.— PaynE
What version of TacoScript? Depending on what version, most scripts are based off of it.— heretohack
unhide— Karma
BF2 Hack: High Advantage 1.1 for Battlefield 2
A Battlefield 2 cheat release thread that outlived its own download link — still getting 'unhide' replies months later.
A release thread in the Other Games section where forum admin Fkn0wnedWasHere posted version 1.1 of a Battlefield 2 cheat called 'High Advantage,' listing an assortment of visual and rendering tweaks. The thread ran from January to May 2009, mostly filled with low-effort 'thanks' and 'unhide' replies typical of cheat-release threads, one user questioning whether it could be combined with an aimbot, and another pointing out it was actually a public tool from elsewhere. By the time later posters showed up, the original download was dead and someone linked a newer v1.4 hosted on a different cheat site.
Okay here is v1.1 of the High Advantage hack with a few new features.— Fkn0wnedWasHere
It is a public Hack from UC. lol— croyt
the file does not exist here is v 1.4— imega
Diablo 2 rage! (screenshot thread)
A Quebec zon-player's naked-kill screenshot dump gets called 'lame' by the GFX staff in under a day.
blackxthink posted a set of Diablo II LOD screenshots showing him 'rage'-killing other players (town-guarding with a Farcast zon and naked-killing/NK'ing them for reactions). Regular banak dismissed Diablo as weak for raging compared to CS:S glitch/download shenanigans, blackxthink defended his method, and GFX staffer Blaqk shut it down with a flat 'Thats lame.' A short, low-drama Other Games thread typical of the board's raging-and-bragging culture.
diablo is not very effective when it comes to rage.. Download some shit/use glitches and townkill then.— banak
No but i Town guard with a Farcast zon And i NK (Naked kill) And they cry lol— blackxthink
Thats lame.— Blaqk
Runescape Auto Cutter+Dropper (Nickiller007's Woodcutting Bot)
A sketchy RapidShare woodcutting bot, a wave of 'unhide' begging, and reports it crashed every 30 minutes
Nickiller007 posted a hidden RapidShare link to an auto-woodcutting/dropping tool for Runescape, claiming it leveled up a throwaway account safely except for a couple of deaths against random events. The thread quickly devolved into the classic forum pattern of members just posting 'unhide' or 'lets see' to unlock the hidden content, with little real discussion. A few users who actually tried it reported it was unreliable, crashing frequently, with mixed-to-negative feedback overall.
this is pretty good ive used i got a lvl 3 account with 50 wc in 2 days doesnt do good with randoms though. died like 2 times but that was only with a bronze axe.— Nickiller007
lame does not work— kurrupt
DUDE i need to say this is crap it works but its not goood !!!! i didi it to and it crash around a 30 mins everytime !!!!!— adodwerg
COD4 Level 55 Hack thread — necro-bump tail end
The rank-55 hack thread limps to its finish line: one-word 'unhide' posts and a lone thank-you over a year later.
This is the final page of a Call of Duty 4 thread from cauzed offering a level 55 unlock/hack, originally noted as updated with v1.7 support. By page 3 the actual content is long buried, replies devolve into low-effort bumps ('unhide', 'wowwwwwwwniceeee!!!!!!!', 'asd') from members trying to reveal hidden download content, spanning from late 2008 into December 2009. It's a good snapshot of typical cheat-thread necro-bumping culture on the forum, with a VIP member (DvS) dropping in near the end.
unhide— vandalz
wowwwwwwwniceeee!!!!!!!— smocker86
Thank you for uploading this.— PurePwnage99
[Release] Inuiria v1.1 by Repulse
A cheat gets shared, gets hyped, and gets detected — all within four days flat.
A member named Repulse dropped a re-hosted release of a cheat tool called Inuiria v1.1, sourced from a German cheat forum (mpc-forum.de), claiming it was undetected and working fine. A couple of members chimed in with quick approval, but within days reports surfaced of a 'Cheat Detected' error circulating on another forum, sparking debate over whether it was actually flagged or just a fluke. By the end of the short thread, another member confirmed the tool had indeed been detected — a pretty typical lifecycle for these releases: hype, brief use, then the inevitable detection.
Isn't detected yet :) Been using it all night.— Repulse
Meh, tested, Rapes asshole.— S3RK
this one was recently detected— Niceboy233
WarRock hacks thread, closed for necroposting
A rapidshare link, a guy who likes cheese, and a mod slamming the door on grave diggers.
A low-effort Other Games thread about the free-to-play shooter WarRock, mostly people asking for or dropping links to trainers/hacks and arguing over whether the game was any good compared to Battlefield 2. It meanders through a name mix-up, a random declaration of cheese preference, and a defense of WarRock's honor before a moderator shuts it down for necroposting.
You almost took my fucking name lol. Ontopic : I like cheese.— Killz0rzz
warrock is the shit. If you're a hater then get the fuck out because its better then bf2— FOURxRUOF
Stop grave digging. Topic closed.— SubZero
Left 4 Dead Wall Hack Thread (by Holy)
A free L4D wallhack, a suspicious upload, and a mod calling out a liar who 'tested' a dead link.
User Holy posted a Left 4 Dead wallhack claiming it scanned clean on VirusTotal and was 'VAC proof,' sparking the usual cycle of one-word bumps ('thx', 'unhide', 'hide') to keep the download link visible. The thread devolves into typical low-effort replies, a report of crashes, some troubleshooting about running it as admin on Vista, and a memorable moment where VIP member Speedo catches iamJocker claiming the hack crashed for him after the original link had already been pulled — exposing that he'd sourced it from another cheat site instead. A minor, forgettable cheat-sharing thread that captures the era's casual attitude toward downloading random executables.
how did u even test it when the link was removed...............— Speedo
nice if only i could put this on my 360 *sigh*— slingblade
Google it .. http://www.cheating-x.com/left-4-dead-wall-hack-vac-proof-t-15397.html— iamJocker
CoD4 Screenshots by iMaN0oB
A lone pub-stomper drops some Xfire screenshots and asks if anyone still runs CoD4 1.0
A low-key, quiet thread from a newer member (iMaN0oB, just 2 posts) sharing a handful of Call of Duty 4 Search & Destroy pub screenshots hosted on Xfire. It's not a competitive or league post — just casual bragging about pub scores and a question about who else still played on the old 1.0/1.7 patches. Gets a single 'nice scores' reply from a more established member before fizzling out.
I only play S&D CoD4 on PC =P. Leagues/Ladders.. haha.— iMaN0oB
nice scores.— Unbeliveable
Anyone here play CoD4 1.0 or 1.7?— iMaN0oB
New Game! (A.V.A: Alliance of Valiant Arms thread)
One guy calls dibs on hacking A.V.A. before it's even cool — the forum's next Combat Arms hopeful.
Member Phayze pitches A.V.A. (Alliance of Valiant Arms), a free-to-play FPS similar to Combat Arms, as a good candidate for the community to start hacking, admitting he hadn't even tried the game yet. A handful of regulars chime in comparing it to Combat Arms and Cross Fire, debating lag issues (blamed on geography rather than the game itself), and a couple of members say they're looking forward to hacks being released. It's a low-key, casual 'hey check this game out' thread typical of the PC Gaming > Other Games section rather than a major event.
i am one of the few people who is going to hack this game so if u want to join me then its ur choice— Phayze
Yes, it's the only tournament-level free FPS besides Cross Fire or Combat Arms.— h4voCK
cant wait for hacks on this one :) graphics are wayyyy better than CA— apricot101
BaconBot_v3: The GMOD Hack Everyone Wanted for Free
Kid wants a $25 'private' GMOD hack for free, gets told twice it's backdoored, doesn't care, thread locked.
A member named diecsscz asks around for a copy of 'BaconBot_v3,' a private (non-Lua) multi-purpose hack for Garry's Mod, hoping to get it for free instead of paying the $25 the creator was charging. Staff and regulars repeatedly warn him the hack is known to be backdoored, but he shrugs it off, just wanting the tool anyway. A brief bit of confusion over an off-topic 'thanks' post derails things slightly before a moderator (ap3x) closes the thread for violating the forum's private-hack discussion rules.
I know it's back doored, I just want the hack lol— diecsscz
if u use the hack u get backdoored lol— hitmanre
He has the backdoor in it so that he knows when you leak. Even if you do manage to get your hands on it, you'll get shut out quickly.— ap3x
Halo Host Hack — 'Bull fucking shit, /closed'
A shaky host-only Halo hack post gets shut down by a crew member's classic one-liner.
Regular poster Unbeliveable dropped a short post claiming a 'host hack' for Halo, complete with a screenshot and a mirror link, but admitted upfront he didn't even own the game to test it himself. Member marz gave it a lukewarm 'might try this out,' but the thread's fate was sealed when [FkN] Crew member vermiLLion swooped in, called it bullshit, and locked it. A tiny, forgettable thread in the Rebel Gaming subforum that captures the low-effort hack-sharing and quick-trigger moderation typical of the era.
Bull fucking shit, /closed— vermiLLion
I dont have halo so cant try. Some other guys say it works.— Unbeliveable
pretty neat might try this out.— marz
NeoTokyo Material Wallhack by wh0r3
A wallhack for an obscure Source mod nobody's admins knew how to catch
A member known as wh0r3 released a material-based wallhack for NeoTokyo, a lesser-known Source engine mod, pitching it as hard to detect since the mod lacked a first-person spectate feature for admins to catch cheaters with. The thread is a typical 'post to unlock' release: a long tail of one-line replies (thanks, unhide requests, 'ty bro') from members trying to access the hidden download. Partway through, the original file link broke, leading to a string of users asking for a reupload that, per this page, never quite materialized.
It's really well made and fun to play, but i got bored of it made these and decided to release them.— wh0r3
Hard for admins to detect as the mod doesn't have first person spectate!— wh0r3
Um, unhide! *Poof* Yeah, broken link...can someone else upload?— heretohack
MW2 Lvl70+Prestige 10 Rank Hack by pLecKz
Instant Level 70, Prestige 10 — but a rival modder was already gloating he'd beaten pLecKz to it by six days
A release thread from pLecKz offering a tool ('EA') that claimed to instantly boost a Modern Warfare 2 profile to max level and Prestige 10 with all unlocks. The thread got the usual wave of thanks and 'ty' replies from members farming the reply-to-unlock content, but also some needling from MaMafia claiming the same thing had already been released days earlier and dismissing it as 'for noobs.' An admin later questioned detection risk, and the thread was eventually locked as outdated once a new game patch came out.
Released around 6 days before ;) But thanks for sharing, I wont use it cause it's for noobs ;)— MaMafia
All it really is is hex editing.— pLecKz
Outdated. /closed until one is released for 1.0.169— ap3x
Vac-Proof Hack Request Gets Roasted (Deutsche Hacks)
A newbie begs for a weeks-proof VAC bypass so he can play in 'real' leagues — the German section promptly roasts him for it.
In Fkn0wned's German-language 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum, member hArDy.exe asked for a VAC-proof cheat lasting at least 2-3 weeks to use in non-ESL leagues, for both CS:CZ and CS 1.6. Instead of help, he got mocked by regulars flatschGER and albert90, who pointed out that identical begging threads already flooded the German forum in bulk and called him a spammer. The thread is a short, dry back-and-forth of sarcasm rather than any actual cheat discussion.
wenn das so leicht wre— anarchie65
man...solche ordner gibts es im dt forum echt schon in massen— albert90
spamer xD— flatschGER
Selling 7 Digits Steam Account - $10 PayPal
Some guy named energy tries to sell a Steam account for PayPal cash, gets accused of copying someone else's exact sales pitch mid-thread
A small-time classified ad in Fkn0wned's Steam Account Trades subforum: member 'energy' offers a Steam account (referred to by its digit-count handle) for $10 via PayPal, insisting on 'you first or a middle man' after claiming to have been scammed three times already. Another member, Rock Superstar, calls out the post as a near word-for-word copy of his own earlier sales thread, quoting the exact lines back at him. A haggling back-and-forth follows over the price, with jcomp6 lowballing to $3-7, before the thread goes quiet for months until a late 'do you still have this?' bump from twitceh.
I dont like to be scammed for a third time— energy
lol just copied my thread : P ?— Rock Superstar
$10 is too much, please lower to $3 and a done deal =]— jcomp6
Trading a Half-Life 2: Episode 1 CD Key for Forum Points
A guy trying to trade a Half-Life 2: Episode 1 key for forum points — and almost enough bidders to start a war over 50 points.
A short, small-time trade thread from October 2007 in the Steam Account Trades subforum, where longtime member Rockforce offers up a Half-Life 2: Episode 1 CD key and asks for either a trade or 50 forum points. Two members, andr3zit0 and thesource, jump in with counter-offers, with thesource eventually agreeing to buy after asking (half-jokingly) whether he'd need to hand over Steam login info to complete the deal. It's a tiny, mundane slice of the site's trading culture — low stakes, low drama, just regular users haggling over a game key like it was baseball cards.
I'll even take forum points.— Rockforce
u mean i give u my steam info? like suername/pass? cus i will if u can use middleman lol— thesource
dude ill buy it.. i will give you 30 FkN points..— andr3zit0
6-Digit Steam Account Trade Attempt Sparks Post-Count Rule Callout
A guy with only 10 posts tries to flip a rare six-digit Steam account and immediately gets clowned for it.
A low-post-count member named vermiLLion posted a six-digit Steam account for trade, loaded with old-school titles like CS 1.6, Half-Life, Day of Defeat, and Team Fortress Classic. The thread mostly turned into other members pointing out he didn't meet the forum's 100-post minimum to trade, with a couple of people still curious enough to ask for proof and price. It's a tiny, forgettable snapshot of the site's account-trading culture and its (loosely enforced) post-count rules.
100 posts but i dont care im posting anyways— vermiLLion
You need 100 posts to post here. Plz understand th...— havok123

Steam Account for Sale - Not Checked (Closed for Rule Violation)
A user tries to flog an unverified Steam account for a fiver and gets shut down for not even meeting the posting requirements.
A member with the handle 'mad tag' posted a Steam account for sale in the Steam Account Trades subforum, openly admitting he hadn't checked whether it even worked, asking 5 GBP via PayPal. Another user, havok123, quickly pointed out he lacked the required 100 posts to trade in that section, prompting mad tag to cancel the sale himself. A moderator (NutterNZ) closed the thread shortly after, labeling the reason for closure simply 'idiot' - a blunt, no-nonsense bit of forum justice typical of the site's moderation style.
I have not checked this one if it works— mad tag
ahhh s***e i dont for the reason i cant paste the...— mad tag

Vac-Banned Account for Low Steam ID? Nobody's Buying It
Guy tries to trade his banned Steam account for a rare low ID, gets laughed out of the thread instead.
A member calling himself abstract1337 posted looking to swap his VAC-banned 7-digit Steam account (still usable for singleplayer and non-secure servers) for a clean 6-digit-or-lower ID account with CS:S. He got an immediate rules correction for trying to trade a banned account, sheepishly apologized, and then took a round of good-natured mockery from other members who found the ask laughably one-sided. Short, low-stakes thread that's mostly remembered for the pile-on roast rather than any actual trade happening.
lol who the hell would do this trade,— TeKn1qu3z
I mean this guy is also asking for a 6 DIGIT or lower lol! funny!— lragnarok11
No trading or selling banned accounts— blacknight00
Selling Orange Box Steams: Scam Allegations in Trading
A brand new noob undercuts the market on Orange Box and CS:S Steam accounts — and immediately gets called a scammer.
A low-post-count member calling himself ThisIsSparta popped up in Steam Account Trades hawking a small stock of Orange Box and Counter-Strike: Source Steam accounts at suspiciously cheap prices. Veteran traders immediately flagged that he hadn't hit the required 100-post minimum and that his pricing screamed scam, prompting screenshots as 'proof.' One trade apparently went through with regular logik92, who vouched for him with a +rep, but corbalz swooped in later branding him a scammer outright with no evidence offered, and dshizzle pushed back demanding proof. A little community-policing back-and-forth about trust, post counts, and account legitimacy is really what the thread is about.
you need 100 posts to buy/sell/trade, read the rules.. plus you didnt post a screenie of anything and your making it way too obvious by the prices that your going to scam.— Maxwell123
scammer!— corbalz
proof he scammed you or it didnt happen.— dshizzle
Selling 6-Digit Steam Account (2007 Trading Post)
A vintage Steam account with a low six-digit ID, going for $30 OBO — remember when that was a selling point?
A brief, no-frills classified ad from October 2007 in the Steam Account Trades subforum: user Anthrax818 lists a low six-digit Steam account bundled with HL1 games, claims it's not VAC banned, and posts a screenshot on request. After one reply from Cud asking for proof, Anthrax818 followed up with a screenshot and later bumped the thread with a firm asking price. A small, quiet trade post typical of the account-flipping culture on the site's Trading board.
its a 6 digit with hl1 games. not vacbanned. if ur intrested pm me or reply here.— Anthrax818
screenshot plz / more details— Cud
Price is 30 dollars obo— Anthrax818
Trading a Steam Account for a BF2142 Account
One guy's Steam account, some screenshots, and a haggle over how many accounts a 2142 trade was actually worth.
A short, low-key trade listing from the Steam Account Trades subforum where a member known as .:XxX:. posted screenshots of his Steam account looking to swap it for a Battlefield 2142 account. The thread is a small back-and-forth: another user asks if it's a two-for-one deal, gets corrected that it's just a single Steam ID, and eventually someone offers up an unranked BF2142 account. Pretty mundane by forum standards, but a neat little time capsule of how casually people traded whole game accounts back when Steam account trading was still an open, unregulated hustle.
so is it 2 accounts? for 1 2142? its a deal if it...— thesource
only one steam id— .:XxX:.

Selling Steam Account (CS:S, DoD:S, HL2 DM) - Nov 2007
A VAC-unbanned Steam account with CS:S and Day of Defeat Source, up for grabs — 'bought ones and stolen ones' included, apparently.
A member called Rock Superstar posted a for-sale listing for a Steam account bundled with Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat Source, and HL2 Deathmatch, sparking the usual back-and-forth over proof of legitimacy. Other members asked for screenshots and Steam ID digits, a moderator (DCLXVI) stepped in with standard advice on blurring account details before posting proof, and one member (havok123) had to explain how to actually upload a screenshot. The thread takes a mildly eyebrow-raising turn when the seller casually admits to also having 'stolen' accounts, while a buyer (jacal) repeatedly angles for a TF2-loaded account instead. Ends without a confirmed sale, just typical trading-subforum haggling.
this is one I bought, i also got stolen ones— Rock Superstar
Please post screenshots of the account games and vac status, don't forget to blur out the account name and email so you don't get disabled.— DCLXVI
How the fuck can i attach an image or more? do I need webspace therefore :/ ?— Rock Superstar
Steam Account Trade: CSS/Gmod for $10 or BF2/2142 Swap
One guy just wants a decent Battlefield 2142 rank for his Counter-Strike: Source Steam account — deal closes in five posts.
A member called thesource listed a Steam account bundled with CS:S and Garry's Mod for sale ($10 via PayPal) or trade, specifically angling for a high-rank Battlefield 2 or BF2142 account. Fellow member dshizzle offered up a BF2/2142 account with solid stats and unlocks, and the two quickly struck a deal complete with the era-standard middleman arrangement. A side question from andr3zit0 about Garry's Mod download size adds a bit of forum color. By the final post thesource notes he's 'still lookin for trade,' suggesting the deal may have fallen through or needed more offers. Small, mundane, but a perfect time-capsule of how in-game currency was Steam accounts and CD-keys back in 2007.
Ill sell this for $10 via paypal— thesource
You just got a deal.— thesource
still lookin for trade...— thesource
LOoOK Here - Orange Box Trade
One member's Orange Box for a Rapidshare account — and a quick, quietly funny interrogation about whether it was even his to trade.
A short trading thread in the Steam Account Trades section where user haha.1 offered a copy of 'Orange Box' in search of a Rapidshare account of equal value. Fellow member cedars offered a Rapidshare account but pointedly asked whether the Orange Box was 'legit' — bought or stolen — a small moment of scene-typical suspicion around account/game trading. The thread wrapped up fast, with haha.1 declaring the trade complete and asking staff to close it.
i am looking for a rapidhsare acct or anything that can match this deal (orange box)— haha.1
Is the Orange box legit? I have a Rapidshare account valid until 12th April 08.— cedars
I mean like, did you steal it or did you buy it?— cedars
CSS HL2 HL2LC HL2DM $8 — Steam Account Bundle Sale
NutterNZ's discount Steam account fire sale: seven-digit accounts, $8 a pop, PayPal only.
A Trading > Steam Account Trades listing from late 2007 where longtime member NutterNZ tries to offload a batch of old-style seven-digit Steam accounts loaded with CS:S, HL2, HL2:LC, and HL2DM. The thread limps along with bumps and a slow price drop from $8 down to bundle deals, with a couple of members asking questions or expressing mild interest but no cash. Pretty mundane by forum standards, but a nice little time-capsule of how casually Steam accounts were bought and sold on cheat/gaming forums in that era.
Accounts are 7 dig, I have a few of these to sell $8 paypal ONLY.— NutterNZ
No one interested? These are cheap.— NutterNZ
Uber bump. 5 accounts left, $8 each, or all 5 for $35.— NutterNZ
Selling a Steam Account! (9 bucks, final offer)
One desperate seller, a haggled-down price, and a classic 'plz i need the money' energy.
A short, scrappy thread in the Steam Account Trades subforum where a member tries to sell an old-school Steam account bundled with early Half-Life/CS titles. The asking price drops from $10-15 down to $9 across the seller's own replies, with a slightly confused aside about whether PayPal needs a credit card. It's a tiny, low-stakes slice of the era's account-flipping hustle culture rather than any major event.
Plz i need the money!— Killer-k
Ok for 9$ we have a deal hehe!— Killer-k
Sorry not thease money whata offer me any money hehe!— Killer-k
Vac BANNED accounts?
A guy tries to offload his VAC-banned Counter-Strike accounts and everyone just shrugs 'same here'
A short, low-stakes thread from late October 2007 in the Steam Account Trades subforum where user Rock Superstar casually offers up some VAC-banned CS 1.6 and CS:S accounts, half-joking that everyone probably already has plenty of their own. A handful of regulars chime in trading similar banned accounts and comparing notes, with Legit_Hacks weighing in on what actually counts as a worthwhile trade. It's a snapshot of the mundane, everyday churn of a cheat-scene trading board where banned accounts were just another commodity.
Hey guys i offer some banned accounts cheap. Or do you already have enough banned accounts : P?— Rock Superstar
i got a banned css acct iso unbanned 1,6;D— IxPKxALL

8-Digit Steam Account With Gmod and Other Games (For Sale, $50)
Dude tries to flip a bargain-bin Steam account for $50 and the forum roasts him into the dirt over it.
A December 2007 classified-style thread in the Steam Account Trades subforum where user Fringo listed an old 8-digit Steam account bundled with Half-Life 2, Garry's Mod, Counter-Strike Source/1.6, Day of Defeat, and a few other early Source-era titles, asking $50. Other members quickly pushed back on the price, pointing out CS:S alone retailed for around $10-20, sparking a small back-and-forth about what Fringo actually paid at EB Games versus what the account was really worth. It ends with a short flame exchange after artemis calls the listing a '/fail'.
not worth 50 bucks. maybe 25— dshizzle

Selling Steam Acc (VAC in Good Standing)
One guy wants points, one offers 500k Runescape gold, and the seller only wants PayPal — classic 2007 Steam account trade chaos.
A short 2007 classifieds-style thread in the Steam Account Trades subforum where user milkrulz04 listed a Steam account (bundled with CS 1.6, DoD, HL1, and other Half-Life titles, plus a CSS gift pass) claiming it was VAC unbanned, offering to use a middleman for the deal. Replies were low-effort offers wildly mismatched to what the seller wanted — forum points, then 500k Runescape cash — before the seller clarified he'd only accept PayPal. The thread ends with another member mocking the seller for apparently also trying to trade the account for a CS:S account elsewhere.
ill give you 250 points for it— Cud
ill give u 500k runescape cash— 45chris2
sorry only acepting paypal money— milkrulz04
Steam Account for Sale - Birthday Gift Nobody Wanted
A guy sells his birthday-present Steam account for $19 because he switched to CoD2 — and somehow gets a satisfied customer testimonial in the same thread.
A short 2007 listing in the Steam Account Trades subforum where user andr3zit0 offloads a clean, VAC-unbanned Steam account (loaded with early Half-Life/CS:S titles) that he'd received as a birthday gift but no longer wanted since he'd moved on to Call of Duty 2. Asking price was $19, PayPal only, with the classic era-appropriate move of trading credentials over MSN and offering a middleman. The thread is brief but wraps up with buyer minitureman publicly vouching for andr3zit0 as trustworthy after completing the deal — a small but genuine artifact of the forum's informal, reputation-based trading culture.
i have got 1 account i received for my birthday that i don't need anymore since i play CoD2 now— andr3zit0
hey every one this guy i trusted i bought it off of him he is cool— minitureman
haha now i have your soul— minitureman
Steam Account with Portal, Up for Sale/Trade
thesource wants $10 or fkn0wned points for a barebones Steam account with Portal on it — bidding war ensues over pocket change
A small trading thread from October 2007 where user thesource auctioned off a Steam account (notable mainly for having Portal on it) for $10 via PayPal or a Counter-Strike account, insisting on a middleman to avoid scams. A few members countered with forum-point offers (50, then 75, then 80), including regulars Jack Daniels and jacal, with Sideways dropping in briefly before backing out. It's a tiny, mundane slice of the site's Trading section, capturing the casual account-flipping culture typical of the era.
Id like a Counter Strike Source Account for this or $10 via paypal— thesource
middleman=used— thesource
ill do 80? if you haven traded already. btw whats the digits on it?— Jack Daniels
8Dig CSS/DODS Account For Sale — Lowball Offers & Scam Callout
Guy tries to sell a stacked Steam account, gets lowballed with a sketchy account swap and a $10 offer instead
A member named pherball listed a Steam account loaded with CS:S, DOD:S, HL2 titles, and an '8dig' unbanned status, insisting on PayPal payment only. Cookie1456 tried to offer account trades instead of cash, got called out by other members for possibly trying to scam or lowball the seller, and the thread devolved into small change offers ($10 AUD, $10 CAD) rather than any real sale. A minor bit of community policing happened when users defended pherball against Cookie1456's persistent no-cash offers.
no-one wants your shitting account and stop spaming them someone should give him a warning— fizzer
stop trying to scam/rip this bloke off— Uncensor3d
Come on, I don't have money— Cookie1456
Trading Steam Accounts: Cookie1456's VAC-Banned Offer Goes Nowhere
A guy tries to trade away a VAC-banned account for clean CS:S and gets roasted for spamming the same desperate post everywhere
A September 2007 thread in the Steam Account Trades subforum where user Cookie1456 tries to swap a couple of Steam accounts — including one flagged as VAC-banned — for a clean copy of Counter-Strike: Source, offering screenshots and a middleman contact. The thread goes quiet for weeks before other members pile on, pointing out nobody trades for VAC-banned goods and calling out Cookie1456 for posting the same plea repeatedly across the trading section. It ends with a member sarcastically offering to sell him a copy if he can actually pay for it.
no one is gonna trade you if its vacced retard— jd00
YOU SHOULD BE BANNED !! ... JUST SCAM SOME1 OR GIVE IT UP OR BUY ME ONE BY PAYPAL !!— andr3zit0
he desperatly wants css Lolz..... ill sell 1 to him if he can buy Lol XD— thesource
Trading for UNBANNED CS:S
A VAC-banned CS:S account, some [FKN] points, and a Need for Speed CD key walk into a trade thread...
In this October 2007 Steam Account Trades thread, member Cookie1456 tries to offload a couple of Steam accounts (including one flagged as banned, per posted screenshots) plus forum points and a game CD key, all in hopes of scoring an unbanned CS:S account in return. A couple of members vouch for Cookie1456's trustworthiness, and Jack Daniels briefly offers to trade before backing out, leaving Cookie1456 hanging with a confused 'WHAT?!?!?' as the thread fizzles out.
Im trading these accounts for an UNBANNED CS:S account.— Cookie1456
lol we traded that hes a honets guy its safe to trade with him even w/o middle man because he wants a unbanned css so badly XD— thesource
scratch that nvm— Jack Daniels
Selling CS:S Accounts (3 in good standing) - $6 each
A 2007 flea market post: three Counter-Strike: Source accounts, six bucks a pop, will trade for a CD key
A December 2007 classified-style listing in Fkn0wned's Steam Account Trades subforum, where user Famousss offered three clean (non-banned) CS:S accounts for $6 each, or for trade against CD keys and other Steam accounts. A few members haggled over swaps involving a Call of Duty key and a VAC-banned account, with at least one deal apparently closing via a middleman. It's a small, mundane snapshot of the era's informal Steam account economy before Steam's own trading and account-security systems made this kind of barter obsolete.
willing to trade for other items CD Keys etc— Famousss
Cool cool find a middle man and wer on...— Famousss
Great doin business with you Cookie...— Famousss
css+ heaps for orange box
Steam trader offers a CS:S-stacked account for The Orange Box, gets grilled over a 'hacked' offer instead
A 2007 trading thread where user jacal tries to swap a Steam account loaded with games ('css+ heaps') for an Orange Box account. A brief back-and-forth follows about whether a possibly hacked/VAC-banned account would be accepted, some ribbing when a member misreads the game list, and the usual chorus telling him to just buy Orange Box for $50 instead. It fizzles out with randoms offering AIM/MSN contact and a banned member touting spare Orange Box accounts.
how long ago did you hack it? how did you hack it? and is it vaced?— jacal
Totally not worth it..... Just buy orange box... $50 USA— hunterbrute224
Not really worth an orange box, if it had CSS i would have considered it.— havok123
Selling 6-Digit HL1 Games + CZ Steam Account
A month-old low-key account sale gets bumped and immediately roasted for a suspicious price flip.
A 2007 Steam Account Trades listing where user Zyc3 offered an old low-numbered Half-Life account bundled with Counter-Strike and Condition Zero, taking offers via email or Xfire. The thread went quiet for weeks until fizzer bumped it asking for a price, then almost instantly backpedaled after apparently spotting the same account listed cheaper elsewhere. Regulars Sideways and Legit_Hacks jumped in to clown on the fast about-face, and a couple more members just dropped in to note the thread getting dug up. Pretty minor trade thread, but a nice snapshot of the account-flipping hustle and the community's love of calling out inconsistency.
Changed your mine in 30 seconds.. and bumped a month old thread. l0l— Sideways
Observative are we, nice eye— Legit_Hacks
yeh soz i didnt relise then i saw his other thread with selling it for $5 :s— fizzer
Need The Runescape Phisher Please
A guy just wants a RuneScape phishing tool, gets roasted, gets it anyway
Member paradoxizff posts a bare-bones request looking for a 'Runescape Phisher' tool, admitting he couldn't figure out the setup himself. He gets mocked by iamrag for thinking it would even work, but persists, and fellow member monopoly171 offers to try building one before dropping a link. A classic slice of the era's cheat/scene forum culture — low effort request, some ribbing, a quick fix, thread closed with a nod of approval from OmfgzATree.
A runescape phisher would fail. everyone knows the fags from jagex don't email you.— iamrag
I got a lot of people who believes in shit i say— paradoxizff
+1 for monopoly171 Lol, That site is win.— OmfgzATree
looking for css hack coder [good]
New guy waltzes into the hack forum and tries to recruit its own coders for his side project — chaos ensues.
A low-post-count member posted looking for a coder to build CSS (Counter-Strike: Source) hacks for a private domain he and a friend were setting up, offering contact via PM, Xfire, and Steam. Regulars quickly mocked the request, pointing out the irony of recruiting coders on a forum built around hack distribution, with jabs about paying for coders, cracked/torrented tools, and sarcastic offers to 'code for free'. Staff and veteran members piled on with jokes rather than taking the request seriously, and it ended as a lightly ridiculed, going-nowhere recruitment attempt.
Sorry please don't ask for c0ders here unless your willing to pay $— Afteryou
Noo!! Dont take our coderz!!!1— HaSh
That's badass man, you come to a forum that is famous for hacks and you recruit coders...— Peski-Ruski
CSGO Boosting
Mystik wanted a rank boost from MGE to LEM — and got roasted for it instead
A member named Mystik asked in General Discussion for someone to boost his CS:GO rank on his old, sentimentally valuable account, offering a reward, since he didn't want to risk hacking on it himself. The owner pointed him toward the marketplace for boosting services, but VIP member Venomz1337 pushed back, questioning why he'd want an undeserved rank and mocking his claim that his 'real skill' was above LEM. A GFX manager chimed in with a lighthearted jab about bad teammates, and the thread fizzled out with a stray 'test reply' from the owner months later.
Is there anyone out there that hacks that can boost me? Im currently MGE and would liek to hit at least LEM.— Mystik
If your skill was far beyond LEM, you wouldn't be MGE lol.— Venomz1337
He could just be like me, who only gets matched with a team full of derpy people who run around looking at the ground— Monster
I need a CS1.6 server (2007)
Newbie begs for a free CS1.6 server and gets roasted into the dirt by the whole board.
A brand-new member named MR.UnKnOwN asked for a free (or 'home made') Counter-Strike 1.6 server back in June 2007. Instead of help, he got sarcasm from established members mocking the idea that anyone would just hand over server resources, plus one joking price quote. The thread fizzled with no real solution offered before a veteran poster closed it outright.
yeah hold on lemme boot up my quadcore,4 gigs of ram 100mb/sec internet connection snd set up a server jus for you :/— ballistic
Lol a free serer justpay $50 amonth to secure a nice one— Mvx
No one will give you a server, closed— Sonikk
undetected css hack...
Another day, another dude begging for a CS:S hack that isn't VAC-banned yet
A member named robsta 2006 posted in General Discussion asking for a working, undetected ESP/aimbot hack for Counter-Strike: Source after several downloads (including 'Project 7') got VAC detected. Regulars chimed in with casual suggestions and banter about which tools were still undetected at the time, while a Supervisor (DCLXVI) eventually stepped in to redirect the conversation to the site's official hack database and release sections. Classic mid-2000s cheat-scene forum texture: casual tone, emoticons, Xfire handles in signatures, and the constant cat-and-mouse chatter about what's detected versus safe to use that week.
dont cheat to play, cheat to win!— robsta 2006
Yeah but when you download Hacks Come back to see if they are vac detected— blackxthink
Our hack database is located HERE! Our secondary hack releases is located HERE!— DCLXVI
Steam Group-Joining 'Phish' Method Stops Working
A member's Steam group-joining 'phishing' trick suddenly stops working — cue troubleshooting and a guide-writer's wounded pride.
A user reports that a community/group-joining technique he'd been using (linked to another thread's 'method') stopped functioning correctly after repeated use, with joined groups failing to appear on his friends list. Other members chime in with troubleshooting suggestions like restarting Steam or adding a friend first, while the original guide's author shows up a bit defensive that someone was using his method before crediting him. It's a low-stakes, everyday technical-support thread typical of the site's Off-Topic/General Discussion board, showing the casual cheat-adjacent tinkering culture of the forum.
Awww someone likes my guide <3. There's no limit on how many groups you can join or leave. Least not for me.— bobbafett07
Lolz, twas using it before u posted my friend. Its an awsome method though.— blacknight00
