Vn5socks.net Auto-Update Sock List Dump Thread
Six posts, hundreds of IP:port lines — one member's bot just kept feeding fresh 'live' socks into the void, all day long.
This was a repeating automated dump thread in the Proxies/Socks section, where user cashino113 posted large machine-generated lists of 'LIVE' SOCKS proxies pulled from vn5socks.net, refreshed every few hours across a single day (9/7/2015). Each post was just rows of IP addresses, ports, response times, and rough geolocation data with no discussion attached — a pure utility thread rather than a conversation. It reflects the era's proxy/socks trading culture common on cheat and hacking-adjacent forums, where members shared scraped or checker-verified proxy lists for anonymity or automation purposes.
[Vn5socks.net] Auto-updating SOCKS proxy list thread
A single poster kept dumping fresh 'LIVE' proxy lists into the void, six times over, like clockwork.
This was a recurring automated-style dump thread in the Proxies/Socks section, where user cashino113 repeatedly posted large lists of SOCKS proxies pulled from vn5socks.net, each entry tagged 'LIVE' with an IP:port, latency, rough geolocation, and timestamp. The thread has no real discussion — just six sequential posts of raw proxy data over the course of about two days in mid-2015, typical of the bot-fed or copy-paste proxy-sharing threads that filled out this part of the forum. It captures the mundane, utilitarian side of the site's 'cheat scene' ecosystem: infrastructure sharing rather than conversation.
how much a Diablo III Worth? - Discussion
Someone tried to price-check Diablo III on a cheat-scene forum's black-market board
A short thread in the Market Place's Discussion sub-board where a member asked for a valuation of a Diablo III copy, presumably to sell or trade. It's a small snapshot of the forum's 'Gaming Market' culture, where games, accounts, and digital goods were routinely bought, sold, and haggled over among members. The page itself carries mostly forum-wide navigation and category links rather than deep discussion content.
[HOT] New shop hack paypals etc..
A thread teasing 'new shop hacks' for PayPal accounts — pure Security & Hacking board bait from the old fkn0wned days.
This archived page preserves only the site's navigation chrome and category listings rather than the actual thread body, but the title signals a typical 'Security & Hacking' board post advertising some kind of tool or method related to online shop/account compromise, PayPal being namedropped as one target. It sits among fkn0wned's broader structure of cheat databases (CS 1.6, CoD, etc.) and forum categories like Gaming Market and Leechers Galore, giving a snapshot of the site's layout during this era rather than the discussion itself. No actual thread content, replies, or member reactions survived in this capture.
[H] Steam account [W] PP/Offers
Just another Steam account up for trade in the Traders District — PayPal or offers welcome.
A brief classifieds-style post in the Traders District subforum where a member offered a Steam account in exchange for PayPal payment or other offers. Typical of the Market Place section's trading culture, with little context beyond the standard have/want listing format. No real drama or discussion is captured on this page, just the trade listing itself.
Market Place: Item Valuation Thread
A member fishes for a price check on some unnamed items — classic market small talk from the old scene.
A short, low-detail thread posted in the Market Place > Discussion section, where a member asked the community to help value some unspecified items, likely game-related goods, accounts, or in-game assets typical of the trading culture on fkn0wned. Little context survives beyond the title, but it reflects the everyday buy/sell/trade chatter that filled the forum's Market Place board.
Top Sellers District bulk sale listing
One member's mega sale thread in fkn0wned's old marketplace corner
A listing thread posted in the 'Top Sellers District' subforum of fkn0wned's Market Place, where a member advertised a bulk sale of unspecified goods. The page itself is mostly stripped of content, preserving only the forum's navigation shell, board categories, and breadcrumb trail rather than the actual sale details. It's a small snapshot of the site's trading/marketplace culture, sitting alongside categories like Gaming Market, Security & Hacking, and Leechers Galore that defined the forum's early-2010s cheat-scene ecosystem.
Double-post glitch by new member (empty thread)
A brand new noob's double-post glitch, immortalized forever with no actual thread left behind.
A fresh member named newyn, only five posts deep and a day old on the forum, opened a thread meant to ask for help with something in the Counter-Strike 1.6 General section. Due to a forum hiccup, the post was accidentally submitted twice, and the surviving remnant is just an apology for the double post rather than the original question. It's a small, mundane artifact of forum life from November 2007, capturing the site mid-swing with its full board structure (CS 1.6, CS Source, Battlefield, Sig Of The Week contests, trading boards, and more) still intact around it.
Sorry for double post :/ it didnt post first time so i tried again when it completed i saw the old one :/— newyn
