Wanted: A Cheap CS:S Steam Account

One guy just wanted Source, and haggled a Half-Life bundle down to a fiver-and-up deal.

A one-post member, Chosen_Kaine, dropped a quick want-ad in The Market Place looking for a Counter-Strike: Source Steam account, offering $5-10 since he only cared about CS:S itself. A month later TeKn1qu3z answered with an account bundled with Half-Life 2, Deathmatch, and Lost Coast for $9, pointing to AIM for contact. Along the way another user, fizzer, questioned whether this kind of sale even belonged in this section rather than the points-trading area. A small, low-key snapshot of the era's casual Steam account trading scene.

Anybody have an account with just CS:S..If it has other stuff that's fine depending on price...i'm looking to pay $5-10 for one— Chosen_Kaine

isant this selling stuff for points section?— fizzer

I have one with the following games. -Half-Life 2 -Counter-Strike: Source -Half-Life 2: Deathmatch -Half-Life 2: Lost Coast Price: $9— TeKn1qu3z

Small Collage

A member posts a tiny rage collage in the CS forum and gets a mixed 'good first try'

In this short 2007 thread from the Counter-Strike Rages sub-board, user snuffz posted a small image collage (likely a compilation of in-game rage moments or frag clips). Uncensor3d gave lukewarm but encouraging feedback calling it small but decent for a first attempt, which snuffz corrected by noting it wasn't his first effort. A newly joined, later-banned member leopulse chimed in with over-the-top praise, capping off a low-key, typical filler thread from the board.

yeah way to small but has some rage good first try— Uncensor3d

not my first.— snuffz

EXCELLENT A++— leopulse

CS:Source Pro Gamers Video Thread

Someone posts a 'pro gamer' CS:S clip and the Raging board just shrugs and jokes instead

A short, low-stakes thread in the Counter-Strike Rages sub-board where dark_skillz shares a Google Video link claiming to show top-level CS:Source play. Replies are mostly joking one-liners and mild skepticism, with regulars bantering about whether the clip is actually impressive and even questioning why it's posted in the 'Rages' section at all. Typical filler thread — no real drama, just members passing time and ribbing each other.

that guys good but i bet i could beat him with my source industries— Uncensor3d

They rape but how it this a rage?— waLLa

Pointless thread starter— HaSh

Looking for a Vent Server

A broke clan leader's confusing server-swap pitch got shut down for spamming the same thread four times

Member fatsanta, running a dedicated server for his clan, pitched a barter deal in October 2007: he'd host game servers for others in exchange for someone covering a Ventrilo voice server. The proposal confused fellow members, with S1acker suggesting a cheaper TeamSpeak alternative and DJSketch admitting he couldn't parse what exactly was being offered. Admin Shifty. closed the thread, noting fatsanta had posted the same request three other times across the forum.

why not just down grade a bit and host a teamspeak server from your dedi?— S1acker

So are you asking for someone to get a vent server for your clan?? I'm lost on what exactly the proposal is?? lol.— DJSketch

Closed. Please keep it down to one thread, you have 3 other threads for the same thing.— Shifty.

Aimbot support: how do I use the aim key?

A brand-new member wants to know how to work the aimbot — the replies are shorter than the question.

A short, low-key support thread from October 2007 in the Counter-Strike: Source General board on Fkn0wned.Com. A member called iNVADER asks a basic question about using an aimbot feature, and two other users, Sideways and DCLXVI, reply with brief technical clarifications. It's a mundane snapshot of the everyday cheat-support traffic that filled the CS:S boards back then, nothing dramatic, just routine forum life.

how do i use the aim bot? aimkey? thanks— iNVADER

Aim key is just if you want half aimbot half legit...— Sideways

The hack most likely doesn't have a console, s...— DCLXVI

CSS Won't Start Anymore ;(

hl2.exe crashes on launch — a classic Fkn0wned tech-support saga from 2007

A member called Rock Superstar posted a mundane but very of-its-era tech support thread: after a fresh Windows XP Pro install and a legit Steam/CSS download, the game crashed on launch with an hl2.exe error. A couple of members chimed in asking about the XP version and Service Pack, with the classic gripe that 'SP2 makes windows slower.' The thread wraps up quickly with the OP reporting they solved it themselves after reinstalling Windows in a different order. Small, low-drama, everyday snapshot of the Counter-Strike: Source support subforum.

Css doenst start anymore ;( , hl2.exe shuts down if i start css from steam— Rock Superstar

sp2 makes windows much slower :S and i hate it.— Rock Superstar

ok i solved the problem. First I installed Window...— Rock Superstar

question about scripting

New member can't get more than one CS:S script running at once — cue the autoexec.cfg 101

A brand-new member (3DOLLAMAFIA, joined days earlier in November 2007) posts a beginner question in the Counter-Strike: Source General board asking why only one of his three scripts would run in-game. Forum regular The Moose, a member of the '1000 Club', quickly explains the basic autoexec.cfg / exec config concept, delivered with the site's trademark blunt, slightly abrasive tone. The original poster thanks him and the short three-post thread wraps up — a tiny, mundane but perfectly preserved snapshot of the site's Scripting help culture.

no, it's shit, thanks.— The Moose

I hope I helped, if I did not then please try to redo your question.— The Moose

TY helped alot apreciate it !!!!!!!!— 3DOLLAMAFIA

Speed hack

New guy asks how to get faster at the exact hack that's been used against him — forum shrugs and asks him to clarify

A newly registered member (andy602) opens a thread in the CS:S General board asking how a 'speed hack' works faster, claiming he'd seen it used against him in games. Regular member rnie asks for clarification on what hack he even means, while veteran poster Arcade offers a vague, low-effort theory that some servers just have settings blocking speedhacks, suggesting he test it in a listen server. A short, low-key thread typical of the forum's cheat-scene chatter, more confused than informative.

Does anyone know how to get this hack to move faster i've had it used against me a few times now— andy602

I would like to help you out, but what is the hack called?— rnie

Some servers have settings to where you can't speedhack. Test it out in a listen server first and if it works then it's the servers.— Arcade

"XYGAME is not available in your territory" error

A three-post fizzle: one guy's Steam games think he's in the wrong country, and nobody actually has a fix.

A brief, minor Steam Client support thread from December 2007 where user Rock Superstar asks if there's a patch or workaround for a regional lock error blocking game launches. MicroUltra jokingly suggests moving to another territory, and Rock Superstar quips back that he doesn't want to relocate to Russia. No real solution is offered — just a quick, low-stakes exchange typical of the forum's Steam Client support subforum.

Have you ever had an account that sais "XYGAME is not available in your territory." when you want to launch a game? Is there a way to make an these games playable?— Rock Superstar

umm move to another territory :D— MicroUltra

uuhhhm I dont really want to move into russian territories ^^— Rock Superstar

About new public CA hacks (killingspree777's authentication issue)

A guy's cheat client says 'Authenticated!' but the control panel says no — cue a mod shutdown citing GUID problems

A brand-new member posted screenshots asking for help after a Combat Arms hack client authenticated but denied him access to its control panel. A regular member briefly diagnosed the issue and mentioned the newest CA public hack had just gotten detected, before crew member lam3r stepped in and locked the thread, citing ongoing 'connection and GUID problems' per someone named ap3x. A tiny, mundane slice of the site's day-to-day cheat support life, cut short by admin housekeeping.

Authenticated!", yet when you go to its control panel, it says access denied— killingspree777

By the way the latest CA pub hack is now detected.— McCallum

We are currently having some connection and GUID problems according to ap3x.— lam3r

Any Ideas? — toastie's Broken CSS Achievement Strings

A garbled Counter-Strike: Source achievement popup turns into a mini troubleshooting thread with the regulars weighing in

Member toastie posted two screenshots showing broken/garbled text tied to a Counter-Strike: Source achievement notification and asked for a fix. A handful of familiar names chimed in with theories — a localization bug, reinstalling the game, wiping the cstrike folder while keeping cfg backups, or just waiting for the next update — with some good-natured bickering over whether waiting was a valid answer. Reinstalling didn't fix it for toastie, leaving the thread unresolved. It's a small, ordinary slice of the site's Tech Support board: quick, casual peer troubleshooting between forum regulars.

or maybe u wait for next update and it will automaticly fixed— dannzy

well i dont think he wants to wait for a new update, cus thats fucking lame.— zanderdanmark

Urgh... reinstalling it didnt help at all. It's still fucked any ideas?— toastie

Help Meeeee - EA Downloader Patch Query

New 2142 owner hits a patch wall, forum rallies with a link and a shrug

A member named waLLa, freshly bought Battlefield 2142, ran into an EA downloader/patch error and asked the Other Games board for help. A couple of regulars chimed in, with Uncensor3d pointing him to an Australian gaming site hosting the v1.25 patch and noting a free account was required to grab it. Short, low-drama tech-support thread typical of the board's day-to-day traffic.

I just bought 2142 and it says I need a patch or some shit.— waLLa

EA link maybe? idk— thesource

yeah dude you need the v1.25 patch.— Uncensor3d

BF2 Hacks (Deutsche Hacks)

A one-post-wonder asks if MSX's free BF2 hacks are legit — and gets told to just Google it

A German-language thread in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum where a brand-new member (one post to their name) asks whether free undetected Battlefield 2 hacks, specifically from 'msx security', are trustworthy or a scam. Regulars respond with a mix of sarcasm ('gooogle.com??') and pointers toward the forum's own BF2 download section, while a couple of posters chime in comparing paid VIP hack sellers on price. Classic small-thread energy: low effort question, veteran members mildly ribbing a newbie, and casual plugs for the scene's usual hack vendors.

hi leute, ich suche free undetected hacks fr bf2 wie zb nametags oder so. Die hacks von msx secrurity sind die sicher oder is das nur abzieherei?— diamantman

gooogle.com??— aKari

msx ist hammer kann ich nur empfehlen!!— Bam10

Neferty VIP crash on custom maps (CS:S) — Deutsche Hacks support thread

German user's CS:S cheat kept crashing on custom maps — turned out Steam's own update was the real culprit

A short German-language support thread in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum where user flatschGER asks for help after his Neferty VIP cheat client crashes Counter-Strike: Source specifically on custom maps, despite a fresh reinstall of Windows, Steam, and the game. Five days later he replies that he solved it himself, concluding a Steam beta/update broke compatibility with the cheat (causing an hl2 error), not his setup. Fellow member albert90 chimes in with a one-word laugh, and flatschGER shrugs it off. A tiny, mundane slice of the era's constant cheat-vs-anticheat-update cat and mouse.

hat sich erledigt ^^ wegen dem neuen steam update oder der beta version konnte man den hack nicht nehmen— flatschGER

haha...!!— albert90

na und ^^— flatschGER

buying lol account

One guy bumped this League of Legends WTB thread for months and it just... never sold.

MakaveliTheDon posted a low-effort want-to-buy ad in Buyers Plaza offering a Steam account in trade for a League of Legends account, then spent the better part of a year bumping it with increasingly bored one-word posts. A couple of members floated EUNE/EUW accounts as trades, but nothing concrete came together, and the thread eventually got called out by a mod-adjacent member for being in the wrong subforum entirely.

bump— MakaveliTheDon

qweqweqwe— MakaveliTheDon

Why post in Buyers Plaza if you want to trade ?— cudYnho

I Need Key Code! (COD4 CD Key Begging Thread)

A guy just wants to play COD4 multiplayer — and accidentally kicks off a tiny black market for CD keys.

A member named RoyzX shows up asking if anyone can hand over a free key code so he can play Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare multiplayer. Another poster admits he's hunting for a key too and offers a laughably small $5 PayPal bounty for one, prompting mild mockery from a third member for lowballing. Nobody comes through with anything free, RoyzX gets increasingly desperate and impatient, and two weeks later a random member drops a link to a third-party key-selling site as the thread's final word. A small, mundane slice of the era when CD keys were currency and everyone wanted something for nothing.

Can anybody give me the key code for COD4? it says i need the key code to play multiplayer..— RoyzX

im looking for a cdkey also... $5 paypal for unused key, lol— extremepilot

5 dollars? maybe try abit higher.— 1337hax

Question: Legit keys store?

OP asks about starting a game-key shop, then bails before it even gets going

A short-lived thread in the Seller's Lounge where majrbrawl floated the idea of setting up a game-key store, only to reconsider and ask for the thread to be closed almost immediately. That didn't stop a couple of regulars from weighing in anyway — prowler.inc dismissed the legitimacy of online key shops in general, and Repulse chimed in with general skepticism about trusting any such store without verification. A small, quickly-abandoned idea that still sparked a bit of market cynicism typical of the Seller's Lounge.

Friends and i discussed further and decided not to go on. Too much to work out. Please close and have a nice day. :)— majrbrawl

so no need to say your keys r legit bc they arent at all !— prowler.inc

I would never trust an online key store unless it was verified.— Repulse

Photoshop Beast CS:S Script — Broken Upload, Locked on Request

A dud script drop that got locked before darksoul32 could even fix his own mess

In the Counter-Strike: Source Scripts/Tools section, member darksoul32 posted a pair of console config files billed as a 'Photoshop Beast' effect script for messing with other players in-game. Almost immediately he admitted he'd uploaded two mismatched, outdated versions that didn't actually work together, and asked a mod to pull the post so he could repost a working one. Fellow member JUSTiiNCREDiiBLE chimed in asking for a version that didn't rely on sv_cheats, but before any fix could go up, admin ap3x locked the thread per the original request.

looks like I posted 2 cfg files that dont even run together lmao..— darksoul32

Yeah, make some new ones~! without using sv_cheats— JUSTiiNCREDiiBLE

This topic has been closed by a moderator(me). Reason: " Closed upon request. (Post #2) "— ap3x

long jump!, please

A noob asks for a longjump script, and 'Christ' shows up just to tell him to look around

A member named BuHC posts a quick request in the CS 1.6 Scripting subforum asking for a longjump script with specific jump distance parameters. The thread gets a mildly dismissive reply telling him to search the forum instead, and a brief cameo from a user called Christ prompts another member, Legit_Hacks, to ask if he's 'back' — a small nod to some past forum history or reputation. It's a tiny, unremarkable request thread, typical of the low-effort script-begging posts common on cheat/scripting boards of the era.

i need longjump script . Jumps ~235- 25.— BuHC

look around idiot.— Christ

christ is back?— Legit_Hacks

Immunity Public 2.0 (page 8) — VAC Detected / Not Working

Eight pages deep into a dead cheat thread, and it's still just 'unhide' and 'thx'

This is the tail end of a long-running thread about the 'Immunity Public 2.0' cheat for Counter-Strike 1.6, filed under the forum's VAC Detected / Not Working subsection — meaning by this point the release had presumably been flagged or was no longer functional. The final page is almost entirely low-effort bump posts from low-rank members ('Noob', '1 Post Wonder') asking to unhide download links or offering brief thanks/testing notes. No real drama or technical discussion survives on this page, just the quiet fizzle-out typical of an aging cheat thread nobody bothered to update anymore.

unhide, ty— sepi

n1, lets try!— HuRR1cAn3

thx— Ken

[VAC2UNKNOWN] seren1ty abscondere r3 — VAC Detected thread (page 3)

Another cheat marked 'unhide' and left for dead in the VAC Detected graveyard.

This is the tail end of a thread in Fkn0wned's Counter-Strike 1.6 'VAC Proof Releases' subforum, filed under VAC Detected / Not Working — meaning the cheat release named 'seren1ty abscondere r3' had been flagged as caught by Valve Anti-Cheat. The visible page is mostly low-effort bump replies from low-post-count members (many joined only days before posting) reacting with quick thanks, requests to unhide the download, or one-word acknowledgments. It captures the routine lifecycle of these boards: a cheat gets released, gets detected, and the thread lingers with newcomers still stumbling in asking for access long after it's dead.

unhide— bringitNZ

Nice— Overbuary

Thnks— Jordankzx

DCLXVI ESP Cheat Necropost Thread

An old ESP hack finally got flagged VAC2 detected — but the 'unhide please' begging never stopped.

This late page of an 18-page thread on Gametration's Counter-Strike forum tracks the tail end of a once-popular multi-game ESP cheat (covering CS 1.6, CZ, CSS, DOD:S, and HL2DM) originally posted by user Cheesus, credited to an author going by 'Gordon`'. By this point in the thread the cheat had been moved to the 'VAC Detected / Not Working' subforum, but new members kept trickling in months and years later posting low-effort 'thanks', 'unhide please', and confused requests for download links that were no longer visible to them. One user (Vishus) directly questioned whether the tool ('DCLXVI') had simply been kept updated to survive newer VAC2 revisions. The vibe is classic dead-cheat-thread necroposting: rotating new accounts, broken image/download links, forum rank badges, and zero real technical discussion.

DCLXVI, have u just been updating this hack... coz it was added ages ago.. jst wondering how its passing all the recent vac 2 updates .. reply cheers !— Vishus

where do I download, it says that the download is hidden:S help!:P— LuSa

Yer bruv hope i dun get banned lol— Vishus

price of BF2?

A guy just wants to buy Battlefield 2 without touching eBay — chaos of opinions ensues

A member named Tobbo asks the Battlefield 2 subforum how to legitimately buy the game online without using eBay, hoping to just download it and buy a key. Replies range from suggesting the site's trade section, buying a physical copy at a local game store, checking Amazon prices, to a staff member simply asking why not just use eBay after all. A pretty mundane, low-drama thread typical of the era's casual game-purchasing advice.

i wana buy bf2 i have paypal but can i buy it online? and i dont mean the game from ebay... lol— Tobbo

go to your local games store and buy the game there dude other wise its going to be a pain in the arse getting no-cd cracks or images to work.— Uncensor3d

Why not get it off E-bay?— Peski-Ruski

Need 2142 Key Please

New guy asks for a free Battlefield 2142 key, gets told to just shoplift it instead.

A low-post-count newbie, freshly banned from something unrelated, wanders into the Battlefield 2142 subforum begging for a free game key and drops his MSN contact. Regulars immediately clock him as a drive-by freeloader, with one member sarcastically suggesting he just steal the game from a store and another dangling the forum's points/trading system as bait. A staffer chimes in with a blunt reminder to actually contribute instead of spamming, while the thread fizzles out into pointless back-and-forth filler posts.

rofl like any one will give u a key u will only leave the boards after it and probably never come back— pyeman

go to your local store that has bf2142 take the packet rip it open pull out the leaflet with the key and walk out (CASUALLY)— minitureman

you post and make threads and dont spam and dont be a fucktard— HaSh

Bf2142 cd keys Good price

A newbie tries to sell BF2142 CD keys, gets immediately roasted for posting in the wrong section

A low-post-count member (commanderdevin) posted an offer to sell Battlefield 2142 CD keys for $6 each, claiming they were unbanned and tested. Regulars quickly pointed out this belonged in the Trading section, questioned whether 'tested' keys could still work, and debated whether PunkBuster's hardware ID bans actually existed. A more established member (Uncensor3d) used the thread to plug his own key-selling reputation instead.

Thease days punkbuster bans your hardware ID so you need a new computer... You seeling any of those...— xJumper

if u have "tested them" like u said than they won't work any more— jobe51095

ive never heard of anyone getten hardware bans and ive been around the cheating/hacking scene for a while now.— Uncensor3d

Battlefield 2142 Statpad Request

One guy just wants a friendly dummy to shoot so he can make Brigadier General.

A short, low-key thread in the Battlefield: 2142 subforum where a member named MicroUltra looks for a 'dummy' via Xfire to help pad his rank stats up to Brigadier General, currently sitting at Commissioner Silver. A brand-new one-post member, ce3jay, jumps in offering to help and asking for reciprocal stat help. The thread trails off with the two trying to figure out logistics and recruit a third participant, never really going anywhere beyond that.

if u wanna statpad add me to xfire johax0r well need a dummy, im trying to get to brigader general— MicroUltra

I added you. Can you help me get my stats up too? I'll help you guys as well.— ce3jay

ill kill u revive when i get ranked up u can kill— MicroUltra

Changing your Battlefield 2142 Password...

A guy just wants to change his BF2142 password and nobody can help him

A short, low-stakes support thread in the Battlefield: 2142 subforum where member Captin_55 asks how to change their account password after just getting a copy of the game. [LiP]STicK. offers a vague suggestion to check the official game website, and thesource (later banned) chimes in saying they need to do the same. The thread ends unresolved, a small snapshot of everyday forum life rather than any major event.

How do you do It I just got an account but now I cannot change the login password... its not that I cant I just dont know how. Could somebody help...— Captin_55

meh only played the game twice before, but try the website of the game ?— [LiP]STicK.

i need to change too lulz...— thesource

Who Still Plays Diablo II?

A random D2 check-in thread that dissolves into old-school forum ribbing and slurs like it's nothing.

This was the tail end of a simple 'who still plays Diablo II' thread in Fkn0wned's Diablo II LOD sub-board. orangespwnz gets ribbed by blackdesolate for admitting he actually enjoys D2, grumbling instead about realm downtime and temp bans, and the two trade the kind of casual insult-laced banter typical of the era's forums. The thread trails off with a one-line drop-in from Jax_0 and no real substance beyond it — a snapshot of low-stakes off-topic chatter rather than any major event.

ahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha look who likes diablo 2 now— blackdesolate

Shush. I said D2 is ok, but the realm down and temp bans suck.— orangespwnz

sorry bish p.s i wuve you orangespwnz— blackdesolate

[help] pub hack problem

A confused newbie, a missing .NET Framework, and a Christmas Eve rescue mission

A brand-new member named formage posted in the Combat Arms section asking for help after an error message popped up when trying to launch a cheat tool. Fellow members prankster163 and Xreaper19 stepped in over the following days with basic troubleshooting advice about firewalls, antivirus exceptions, and needing the .NET Framework installed. It's a small, mundane slice of forum life from December 2009 — the kind of low-stakes tech-support thread that filled the Combat Arms subforum during the site's active cheat-scene days.

so i start teh exe but then i get this message— formage

yes u did but where can i get the framework? [i know im being noobish but ive never used a hack like his b4]— formage

to get the framework just go to google, type in net framework and get the ones that u need— Xreaper19

Wallhack or ESP request thread

A CS:S newbie just wanted a free wallhack — and got pointed straight to another cheat site instead.

A low-post-count member calls himself out asking for a simple, free wallhack/ESP for Counter-Strike: Source. A regular known as deathlabel casually recommends an outside cheat site, and after the OP clarifies he wants something free, a couple of other members chime in confirming that most of what's there is indeed free. It's a quick, low-drama utility thread typical of the Counter-Strike subforum — short, transactional, and mundane by cheat-forum standards.

I just need a simple wall or ESP for CS Source. Easy to use, easy instructions, the works.— Ireallydopwn

i would use cheat-project.com they have a lot of simple cheats that i like to use and most of them are so far undetected. have fun— deathlabel

I guess I forgot to mention that i'm looking for a free one.— Ireallydopwn

Swap CS 1.6 (7-digit) for a CSS Account

A newbie tries to swap his unbanned CS 1.6 account for a CSS one — before he's even hit the post-count minimum.

A short, low-key thread in the Account Swapping subforum where member 'hydra' offers to trade his clean (unbanned) Counter-Strike 1.6 account for any non-banned Counter-Strike: Source account. He preemptively begs people not to call him out for not meeting the forum's 100-post trading requirement, which two other members promptly do anyway. It's a tiny slice of the account-swapping economy that ran on these old cheat/gaming forums, more mundane than dramatic.

So pls, dont write "u mUzT haVe 100 poZt'z *UuUunK*"— hydra

u dont got 100 posts =/— ohsnap999

thats all u got is 1.6 on it?— weezy69

Anyone got hacks for this game..? (Call of Duty 2)

A guy just wants a CoD2 cheat and gets 'GOOGLE!' for his trouble.

A short, low-stakes thread in the Call of Duty 2 subforum where a member asks if anyone knows of a working cheat for the game, public or otherwise. Replies range from unhelpful ('GOOGLE!') to a cryptic one-word tip ('unhide') that gets mocked by another poster, plus a note that decent CoD2 cheats had shifted to paid-only around that time. A staff member drops in at the end without adding much. Pretty typical small-time 'anyone got hacks' thread from the site's Other Games section.

Dudes, I have this game installed on my computer, I want to hack in it , but there are no freaking good cheats for it..— rnie

GOOGLE!— sweetkilla

Why would you unhide? lmao— thesource

[VAC2DETECTED] Hypnotick Hook v0.5

The final gasps of a busted CS 1.6 hook — thanked, hidden, and marked VAC Detected.

A late page (page 7 of 7) from a long-running Counter-Strike 1.6 cheat thread titled 'Hypnotick Hook v0.5', filed under the forum's 'VAC Detected / Not Working' subsection — meaning this particular hack had already been flagged as caught by Valve Anti-Cheat by the time these posts were made. The visible replies are mostly short, low-effort bumps from minor members thanking the poster, asking for the thread to be unhidden, or acknowledging it was detected. Nothing dramatic happens here; it's a quiet tail end of a once-active release thread, spanning late 2007 into early 2008.

[H] Far Cry 3 + Driver: San Francisco + AC: Revelations + Ghost Recon: Future Soldier [W] Keys

A dusty game-key haggle in the Traders District, complete with a wall of vouches for the regulars.

A short trading post from the Fkn0wned forum's marketplace where a member offered a bundle of game keys (Far Cry 3, Driver: San Francisco, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier) in exchange for other keys. The reply thread is brief, mostly price haggling, with one trader (Adri9102) chiming in about what he'd once paid for an FC3 key and showing off a long, well-earned vouch list from years of trades. It's a small, everyday snapshot of the site's key-and-account trading culture rather than any major event.

10$?— WolfUniqe

For FC3 key i've given 15$ !!!— Adri9102

Trustable trader 100% sure!! Although he can't type English very well, I managed to make a successful trade with this dude.

Wanted: Steam Account with Left 4 Dead 2

One member's hunting for an L4D2 account and offering a stack of other Steam games in trade — but the crew warns him it's probably a lost cause.

A short Market Place thread from December 2009 where user Daimarus put out a request for a Steam account containing Left 4 Dead 2, offering to trade several other Steam accounts (with CSS, TF2, CS 1.6, and more) in return. Another member, darkblood24, claimed to have one and reached out off-forum. A staff member, ap3x, chimed in to note that L4D2 accounts were notoriously easy for original owners to reclaim, making this kind of trade risky. The thread fizzled out after a bump with no confirmed deal shown.

Just to let you know, this is going to be hard to come by. L4D2 accounts will almost always get retrieved.— ap3x

Added, have one :)— darkblood24

7dig steam — sold to Sinista

A quick, no-drama Steam account sale from the Fkn0wned Market Place — closed out in under a day.

A brief, closed Market Place listing from February 2010 where user boselect sold a '7dig steam' item/account to Sinista. The buyer confirmed the deal went smoothly with no issues, and the thread was marked sold and locked shortly after. A completely mundane but representative slice of the forum's trading subculture, showing the community's post-count-gated market rules in action.

Sold to Sinista— boselect

quick transaction for the account, no hiccups. (:— Sinista

Selling Sbot Account - $5 USD

A five-dollar account sale, a Paypal gift-fee gripe, and a same-day happy ending.

A quick, unremarkable Market Place listing from December 2009 where member mcm offered an 'Sbot' account for $5 USD. Regular poster misterfopje snapped it up almost immediately, and the two closed out the deal with mutual vouches, though mcm griped a bit about getting stuck with payment fees on the 'gift' transfer. A tiny, mundane snapshot of the site's account-trading economy and its post-count-gated Market Place rules.

Selling Sbot Account, $5 USD. Kind Regards— mcm

good guy, everything went smooth. he went first, payment made, no problems :)— misterfopje

Steam Account Bundle Sale (L4D2, L4D, TF2, Garry's Mod, HL2, UT3 +More)

1up drops a whole Steam library bundle for $15 — then cuts it to $10 three days later

A brief Market Place listing from member 1up offering a Steam account loaded with L4D2, L4D, TF2, Garry's Mod, HL2, Unreal Tournament, Unreal Tournament 3, and other titles. Asking price started at $15 and was marked down to $10 a few days later with no takers visible in the thread. Typical of the era's account-flipping trade, with the standard disclaimer that the seller takes no responsibility once the account changes hands.

10$ now— 1up

I only sell accounts that are either my personal accounts or have been in my possession for a good while.— 1up

j00j07's $5 Steam Account Listing (CS 1.6 / DoD Bundle)

One member, one aging Steam account, $5, and two lonely bumps that nobody answered.

A short, quiet Market Place listing where user j00j07 tried to offload an old 2007-registered Steam account bundled with Counter-Strike 1.6, Day of Defeat, Condition Zero, Deathmatch Classic, and Ricochet for a flat $5. The post laid out the era's classic no-recourse PayPal 'gift' resale ritual, typical of the site's grey-market game-account trade. Despite two bump posts over the following days, the thread shows no buyer response — a small, mundane artifact of the forum's Market Place economy rather than a dramatic one.

Cheap, cheap, cheap!— j00j07

This account is safe.— j00j07

7-Digit CSS Account Listing — $10 by 1up

A vintage Counter-Strike: Source account, complete with a bundled game library, listed for a cool ten bucks.

A short, no-frills Market Place listing where a member named 1up offered up an old 7-digit Counter-Strike: Source Steam account bundled with several other Valve/HL1-era games for $10. The post is a classic slice of the fkn0wned Market Place: brief, transactional, with a standard disclaimer disowning responsibility after sale. No replies or bidding activity followed, just a lone listing sitting quietly on page 1.

I take no responsibility for what happens to your account after you purchase.— 1up

Repulse's Market Place Vouch Thread

One vouch, one trader — the whole reputation system of an old cheat-scene marketplace in a nutshell.

A short feedback thread from Fkn0wned.com's Market Place sub-board, where member Repulse opened a personal review thread inviting others to leave feedback after trading with him. Fellow member fkngames left a single positive vouch, calling the trade smooth and Repulse negotiable. It's a small, typical artifact of the site's informal trust/reputation system that let members vet buyers and sellers before dealing.

Post when you trade / buy / sell with me!— Repulse

Very good customer/seller/trader. I've traded with him and the trade went very smoothly. Very negotiable. I recommend this guy!— fkngames

Steam Account for Sale ($5 HL1 Package)

A VIP tries to flip a barebones HL1 Steam account for five whole dollars — gets haggled down to two.

A short Market Place listing from VIP member ///xcF offering an unverified Steam account with an HL1 package for $5, noting it hadn't been logged into for 300 days and wasn't VAC banned. Fellow member JUSTiiNCREDiiBLE lowballed with a $2 counteroffer, and xcF closed the deal via PM. A tiny, mundane transaction typical of the forum's casual account-trading corner, bookended by the era's Market Place rules requiring 100 posts to sell.

Modern Warfare 2 Steam Account for Sale — $15

One post, one MW2 Steam account, fifteen bucks — the Market Place at its most mundane and most 2010.

A one-post listing in the Market Place board where member 1up offered a Steam account loaded with just Modern Warfare 2 for a flat $15 via PayPal, contact by MSN. Standard fare for the era's gray-market account trading scene, complete with the obligatory 'not responsible after purchase' disclaimer. No replies, no drama — just a small snapshot of the account-flipping hustle that filled these boards, gated behind the forum's 100-post trading requirement.

This steam has MW2 ONLY. Account is Inactive with community page not setup yet— 1up

I only sell accounts that are either my personal accounts or have been in my possession for a good while.— 1up

Trading CSS Account for a WoW Game Card

One member's dusty old Steam account, several bumps, and a whole lot of nothing — the eternal Market Place hustle.

A classic Fkn0wned Market Place post: member Agility tries to trade an old Steam account (with CS:S, DoD:S, and HL2, VAC clean, made back in 2006) for a US WoW game card. He posts a screenshot to prove playtime and legitimacy, then bumps the thread repeatedly over about a week with little traction. Fellow member marz offers to keep an eye out, but the thread just fizzles out with no confirmed trade. A small, mundane slice of the forum's barter economy days.

Bump still looking mah nigguhs— Agility

ill see what i can do might look around for one for you— marz

1up's MW2 + CSS Steam Account Listing

A Steam account bundle — MW2, CSS, Killing Floor, and more — yours for $15, no refunds.

A brief Market Place listing from member '1up' offering a Steam account bundled with Modern Warfare 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Killing Floor, and Defence Alliance 2 for $15 USD, contactable via MSN. The seller notes the account was personally owned or long-held and disclaims responsibility once sold, a standard caveat for these account-flipping posts. It's a small, unremarkable snapshot of the forum's Market Place economy, sitting under the era's '100 posts required to sell' rule introduced to curb scam listings.

I only sell accounts that are either my personal accounts or have been in my possession for a good while.— 1up

Zeksta's COD 4 Keyshop

9 leftover CoD4 keys, bulk discounts, and a lonely bump nobody answered.

A small Market Place listing where member zeksta tried to sell off a stock of Call of Duty 4 CD keys, offering bulk pricing tiers and a per-customer limit (with wiggle room 'for exceptions'). The thread got one follow-up bump asking why no one was buying, and that's where it ended — a quiet, unremarkable little corner of the marketplace rather than a big event.

Bump, no one at all want a key?— zeksta

Though, exceptions can be made ;)— zeksta

FraggerMan's Steam Account Sale Listing

A guy named FraggerMan hawked eleven bundled Steam accounts for as little as five bucks apiece — Half-Life, TF2, and a small pile of forgotten Steam libraries, all up for grabs.

This was a Market Place listing from a member called FraggerMan (tag: /B/LACKUP), offering a numbered lineup of Steam accounts loaded with games like Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2 and its episodes, Team Fortress 2, Garry's Mod, Left 4 Dead, and various other mid-2000s titles, priced individually between $5 and $17. The 'TRUSTED' tag in the title reflects the marketplace's informal reputation system, and the thread insists buyers post first rather than the seller — a common trust-building ritual on these kinds of forums. It got one lonely bump two days later and no visible replies, a pretty typical fate for marketplace threads once the initial buyer interest dried up.

I WILL NOT GO FIRST! Post here before adding me.— FraggerMan

SPECIAL SALE!!!!!— FraggerMan

1up's Bundle Steam Account Sale (CS, L4D, TF2, HL2)

One low-digit Steam account, every Valve game bundled in, ten bucks — but did anyone bite?

A Market Place listing from member 1up offering a 'low 7-digit' Steam account loaded with the full Valve library (CS 1.6, CSS, L4D, TF2, HL2 and more) for a modest asking price, paid via Paypal. The thread shows the classic slow-burn of a forum sale post: an initial listing, a couple of lonely bumps over several weeks, a price drop, and a one-word question from another member that never got answered. A quiet, low-stakes corner of the Market Place rather than a dramatic one.

Bumping Since this is a nice account— 1up

1.6?— cixxa

Trading Killing Floor/TF2 account for CSS

A member wants to swap a Killing Floor or TF2 account for Counter-Strike: Source — cue the MSN addresses.

A short, unremarkable Market Place listing from August 2009 where user radonn offered to trade a Killing Floor or TF2 account for a CSS one. A couple of members (SnEaKyJoKER, caketin) chimed in with their MSN contact info to negotiate off-thread, which was the norm for account trading at the time. Nothing dramatic happened — just a small slice of the forum's everyday economy of game account swaps, gated behind the board's 100-post minimum rule to curb scam accounts.

Selling a Six-Digit Steam Account with Half-Life Classics

A member named r0ss tried to flip an old low-digit Steam account bundled with a stack of Half-Life era games for $25.

A short Market Place listing from August 2009 where forum regular r0ss advertised a 'six digit' Steam account loaded with the classic Valve catalog (CS 1.6, Half-Life, DoD Classic, TF Classic, Opposing Force, Blue Shift, etc.) for $25, later editing the post to adjust the price. It's a small, mundane snapshot of the site's marketplace culture, gated behind a 100-post minimum to curb scams. Not much drama here, just a routine account-flipping listing typical of the era's Steam trading scene.

Price: $25— r0ss

Reason for edit: Changed Price— r0ss
