What Song Are You Listening To? — Music Section Launch Thread

The chill thread where fkn0wned's GFX crew and regulars dropped whatever was in their headphones

A laid-back music-sharing thread kicked off by Crxss to christen the brand-new (beta) Music section of the forum, quickly pinned by admin ap3x. Members from the Graphics Crew, 1K Club, and general membership traded YouTube links to whatever they were currently listening to, spanning post-rock, hip-hop, and trance/Tiesto, with some light banter and inside jokes along the way. Nothing dramatic here — just a friendly, low-key hangout thread showing the social, non-cheating side of the community.

First off, stoked there's a music section now. I love sharing music.— Crxss

Im not in control of the tunes at the moment but this is what I am forced to listen to at this moment in time— Abysmal

Epic song + Epic typography = ...jesus?— toastie

Fkn0wned Crew Recruitment Applications

Members lined up to apply for 'Crew' status — and at least one used the thread to plug his FileIce hustle.

This was the recruitment thread where members applied to join the site's 'Crew' (a trusted/elevated member group) on the Fkn0wned forum. The post preserved here is from VIP member clmZy, who submitted a brief application and used the opportunity to advertise a FileIce referral service, backed by a spoiler full of vouches from other members praising him as a trustworthy trader. It's a small snapshot of the forum's internal economy — account/log trading, vouch culture, and cross-promotion of side hustles within official threads.

applied good luck to all!!— clmZy

Vouch,nice log buyer,i shall see you around :D— Mickey

Traded! clmZy awesome trader, trustable and fast— ChrisITA

Fkn0wned Crew Recruitment Thread

f0whs wants 'cheap workers' to plant trees, and the whole thread derails into banter about who's actually important

A Site News thread where Fkn0wned staff put out a call for potential new crew members. The page captured here is mostly the tail end, where regulars traded jokes and light ribbing rather than serious applications — a running gag about planting trees as 'slaves,' a trader vouching for a fellow member, and some good-natured trolling about self-importance. It's a snapshot of the forum's casual, joking internal culture rather than any major drama.

We're going to plant one tree for each member in f0whs backyard and we need some cheap workers.— Ljungan

cheap workers ? or do you mean slaves to plant trees!— Monster

Only important people have posted here. I guess is my turn to shine!— JeremyLin

Gaz and Nix Steam Comp 1 — Portal 2 Giveaway Thread

Twenty numbers, one Portal 2 account, and a pile of classic FkN forum banter chasing it.

A July 2011 giveaway thread in the Competitions section where user gazzac (running the comp with 'Nix') offered up an unverified, VAC-clean Steam account with Portal 2 as the prize. Members simply claimed numbered slots 1-20 to enter, with the winner to be announced once all slots filled. The thread doubled as a hangout spot, full of quick number-picks, some crude one-liners, and the usual mix of regular members, VIPs, Smods, and 1K Club veterans dropping in.

ok guys/girls this is for a portal 2 steam account unverified and vac clean just pick the number you want— gazzac

Come suck my cock, faggots.— Ruddified

Good luck to everybody.— mystical

How fast can you unload a beretta clip?

A dead-simple reflex challenge that turned into a mini stopwatch-cheating scandal over dual berettas.

Admin ap3x started a lighthearted challenge asking members to time themselves emptying a pair of dual pistols (Berettas/dualies) in CS:S with no scripts or hacks, just to see how fast Fkn0wned members could click. A few members posted their times, but one poster's suspiciously consistent stopwatch results drew immediate skepticism from another member, sparking a small 'seems bs' callout. It's a casual, low-stakes thread typical of the community's downtime banter between the more serious cheat/hack discussions elsewhere on the board.

Time yourself! How fast can you unload a pair of dualies in CS:S with no scripts/hacks/cheats of any kind?— ap3x

Seems bs to me. 4 of your results are 0.03ms apart.— EAGER

Stopwatch, fast fingers. :)— lazer

The Official Post Your Gamertag Thread (Live, PSN, Steam)

The thread where fkn0wned regulars traded PSN/XBL/Steam IDs to squad up back in 2011

A simple community-building thread in Gaming General where members dropped their Xbox Live, PSN, and Steam usernames so others could add them for co-op sessions. Started by VIP member FR3QU3NCY and joined by a mix of VIPs, 1K Club members, FkN Crew, and regular members over the course of about a month (June-July 2011). It's a low-drama, functional thread that captures the casual, friendly side of the forum where people just wanted to game together.

Post yours!— FR3QU3NCY

add me ugly fuckers— silentrock

bumpin for ze shoutbox— FR3QU3NCY

Thanks you! (the brand-new-member gratitude thread)

A French newbie's earnest 'thank you' post turns into a mini lesson on forum etiquette — and a bit of bilingual charm from a Supervisor.

A freshly registered member, paradoxxxx, posts a short, enthusiastic thank-you to the site praising the cheats and community, apologizing for his rough English. A more seasoned member points out this was his very first post and gently mocks the pointlessness of a 'thank you' thread when he hadn't even earned his stripes by unlocking hidden content yet. A Supervisor, HaSh, steps in with a friendly reply in broken French, and paradoxxxx clarifies he'd actually grabbed a cheat straight from the downloads section, no unlocking needed. It's a small, wholesome slice of early forum culture — new member energy meeting veteran ribbing meeting staff goodwill.

Thank you for this site! I like very very muchthis! Like cheats and other!— paradoxxxx

lol....it's your first post...so you din't even unhide a cheat or st else...and you already made up a ty-thread!— mirco182

Je parle le francais pas tres bien, alors si tu a besoin de l'aide, parle a mois— HaSh

Hippie Shows Off His New Fender Squier Stratocaster

The cheat scene takes a break to talk guitars — and hippie's vouch list turns into a mini trading resume.

A casual off-topic thread where longtime member 'hippie' shared a photo/mention of his new Fender Squier Stratocaster guitar, sparking a friendly discussion about beginner guitars, prices, and other members' own gear. Several regulars (dgrock, Spitfire V2, Fopje, silentr0ck) chimed in with their own music experiences, while hippie's post carried an attached spoiler full of trading vouches from other users praising him as a trustworthy account/item seller. It's a good snapshot of the community's social side outside the usual hacking/trading business — members bonding over hobbies between deals.

he got the propa fender stratocaster, the version i have is the fender squier, its made by fender but its not as good as the actual stratocaster— hippie

I've tried playing guitar,piano and bass...I failed at all.— silentr0ck

Vouch legit seller— omavrick

What's Your Daily Foodplan? (2010 bulking diet chat)

A 16-year-old German bodybuilder shares his oatmeal-and-tuna gaining diet, and the site's Founder admits he can't eat enough to bulk

In the Sports & Fitness board, member MaMafia laid out his detailed daily meal plan (oatmeal, chicken, tuna, cottage cheese, protein shakes) purely for gaining weight, sparking a casual back-and-forth about macros, bodyweight, and age. An Anabolic Innovations rep chimed in on the sponsor giveaway wave, a young VIP member compared stats, and site Founder TuxifieD opened up about his own struggles with appetite and yo-yoing weight from a weight-loss supplement gone wrong. It's a small, friendly slice of the forum's fitness corner rather than any drama — just teenagers and members swapping bulking advice.

I DONT eat this cause it tastes great, I just do it for gaining weight FASTER.— MaMafia

mamafia you're under weight boy! Id love to see the AI rep's diet.— TuxifieD

Went down to 193 pounds extremely fast. I then realized the error in my ways— TuxifieD

Stupid Kids and Dumb Asses: The 2007 'Google It Yourself' Rant Thread

A vintage 2007 rant about lazy noobs who won't Google their own questions turns into a full-on 'kids these days' pile-on.

A classic Rants and Raves vent thread from November 2007, where mermaid00 blows off steam about members asking questions they could easily answer themselves with a bit of effort or a Google search. The thread quickly turns into a broader old-guard gripe session about entitled newer members, with several regulars piling on to agree that 'kids these days' don't respect forum etiquette. Mild back-and-forth and some playful ribbing follow, typical of the forum's rowdy, no-flames-but-lots-of-attitude off-topic culture.

want me to draw u a fuckin map? www.google.com— mermaid00

i fucken reckon all the little shits that are like...— jcomp6

Yea, kids these days don't know their place in...— DCLXVI

[REQ] Camtasia Studio

One member wanted a screen recorder, and half of Fkn0wned showed up just to say thanks.

A late-2007 request thread in the Requests subforum where user Pr0wL3r454 asked for a working copy of Camtasia Studio, the screen-recording software popular for making gaming/cheat demo videos at the time. anarchie65 delivered quickly (claiming under two minutes to find it), and the thread turned into a small parade of members dropping in to say thanks over the following weeks, with a banned member also chiming in offering keygens for similar software. Pretty mundane by forum standards, but a nice little snapshot of the era's software-sharing culture and community rhythm.

I got it in 1 min 30 sec lol— anarchie65

have a keygen for camtasia and others such as this one u guys want it— ENLIGHTEND

I only have 4.0, But Camtasia roxx! Thanx!— Keskin^

Sup Roody-poo's

A returning member forgets their own old username — and the whole crew turns out to say welcome back anyway

A classic Introduce Yourself thread from July 2011: a returning user named 'SLUT' pops back into Fkn0wned unable to recall their previous account, eventually recalling it was called 'Legit.' A wave of staff and regulars (Smods, Crew, VIPs) roll in with quick, friendly welcomes, one offering to help recover the old account through admins. It's a low-stakes, warm slice of forum life showing the community's casual house style and its tight-knit staff hierarchy circa the 'FKN Rebirth' era.

Thanks for the welcome. I guess..still searching for my old one though. mehh Edit; i found him! lol it was "Legit"— SLUT

was that account registered before or after the FKN Rebirth? if its like a rly old one its deleted anyways.— [FkN] ProVocation

If you wanna recover your old account PM an admin ( f0wh/Poptart/ap3x/rhets)— [FkN] trs

SamUnknown's First Website Deface

A member proudly announces his first site deface — and the forum promptly congratulates him for wrecking a site that had nothing worth wrecking.

A member called SamUnknown shares his first website defacement, listing what he did to the target site (password changes, deleted files/databases, uploaded a defaced index page). The thread is mostly congratulatory replies from regulars and staff, treating it as a rite-of-passage bragging post rather than anything serious. One member, conTagious, pushes back by questioning the point of defacing a site with no real content, and another, wrynx, later chides Sam for destroying data instead of preserving it for more useful purposes. It's a small, casual snapshot of the forum's 'script kiddie' bravado culture in the Raging subforum.

whats the purpose of defacing a site that didnt have any content anyway?— conTagious

Damn... SamUnknown don't delete the files and DB unless you have a real grudge. Otherwise save the db and extract the emails.— wrynx

sexeh deface nigga— ap3x

deX-'s Raging Videos Page

A guy posts his own rage-out videos and everyone just piles on to clown his mic quality.

In the Raging subforum, member deX- shared a set of self-made YouTube clips of himself (and buddy ap3x) losing it on Counter-Strike: Source servers — a dust2 'christian' server, a soccer minigame server, and a surf server. The thread is pure lighthearted community banter, with regulars ribbing deX- about his low-quality mic and his co-star ap3x taking a bow for his own performance. It got bumped/moved into the dedicated Raging section by staff, and stayed active on and off from November 2009 into February 2010 with people still chiming in months later.

These are vids and ss's of me raging, other people involved!!!— deX-

Ik, i'm just awesome— ap3x

Your like that in vent everyday... /moved to raging section— vermiLLion

First One To... PayPal Money Competition Thread

A PayPal cash competition thread that devolved into inside jokes and roasting some guy named Orhann

This was a page from a Competitions thread on Fkn0wned promising PayPal money to whoever completed some task first, but by the point captured here the conversation had wandered well off-topic. Regulars like trs, Fuser, arky, Kudi, and Cosmonty traded banter, signature shout-outs, and a running joke calling out a member named Orhann. It captures the casual, cliquey vibe of the forum's General/Competitions space, heavy on inside jokes, staff camaraderie, and off-topic chatter rather than the actual contest details.

@Orhann is not a Spammer!— Fuser

@Orhann is whiter than milk ..— Fuser

my love for you is like diarrhea it never stops— arky

[Panda&Cl0ud] Origin Raffle #3 - Competitions

A giveaway thread that turned into a copy-paste anime/rapper questionnaire chain

Ostensibly a raffle thread tied to Panda and Cl0ud giving away Origin-related prizes, but the visible portion is dominated by members filling out a lighthearted personal questionnaire (favorite anime genres, animals, rappers, and who 'turns them on' on the forum). Regulars like shiroxx, JustBringIt, and Panda himself post near-identical joke answers, riffing off each other in classic forum copy-paste fashion. The vibe is goofy and community-driven rather than competitive, with post-count badges and signature shoutouts reflecting typical Fkn0wned social culture of the time.

Their's a Member on this forum that turns me on? who is that? Cl0ud— shiroxx

What is my favorite thing to do? Acting Gay— JustBringIt

The best GFX Crew member ever.— Panda

Hi :) — new member greeting thread (page 2)

A newcomer named Avaster gets welcomed into the fold, and the VIPs' inside jokes steal the show

This is a routine 'Introduce Yourself' welcome thread from Fkn0wned's community section, continuing onto its second page as regulars greet a new member, Avaster. Longtime VIPs and staff like DarkRood, Adora, and Panda chime in with the usual mix of friendly welcomes and community banter, including a running gag among the forum's female members ('FknLadies') and elaborate signature spoilers full of shoutouts and thank-yous to other members. It's a small, cozy slice of forum culture rather than any major event — mostly nostalgia-bait for the site's social side rather than its cheat/hacking database.

Welcome, Avaster.— DarkRood

All FknLadies have done this including Adora, you have nothing to worry about.— Adora

not sure if this is troll, but welcome. o.o— Panda

Welcome Spitfire to [FkN]Crew

The thread where Spitfire officially joined the crew — and got roasted about ponies for it.

A short congratulatory thread on Fkn0wned marking Spitfire's promotion into the [FkN]Crew staff/member group. Regulars JackDokerty and newcomer NoDopeNoHope drop in with quick well-wishes and inside jokes, and Spitfire jokes about now having ban powers. It's a light, affectionate slice of forum life rather than any major event — just members celebrating one of their own moving up.

Welcome babe now you can ban me from the forums. Hold on to that though. <3— Spitfire

How did you know rainbow colored text was my favorite? ...oh right. Ponies.— Spitfire

Gratz you deserve it. <3— JackDokerty

Mr Dazza's Grounded Rant & Signature Dump

A grounded 12-year-old's rant about school bullies and getting caught turns into a full-on signature/vouch dump.

This page catches the tail end of a 'Serious Discussion' thread where user Mr Dazza, a self-described 1K Club member, opens up about being grounded, being one of the youngest active members, and dealing with bullying and unfair teachers at school, dishing out some tongue-in-cheek 'advice' on trolling authority. The rest of the post trails off into an unrelated dump of trade vouches from other members and a showcase of custom forum signatures made by various graphic artists in the community, giving a good snapshot of the site's casual, meme-heavy, off-topic culture.

Im out.— Mr Dazza

Troll the teacher, if fails, tell your head, keep your name out of it, and try get video footage of the teacher showing favouritism!— Mr Dazza

This dude is fucking gay as f**k but I vouch him <3

Xbox Live Gamertags! (Console Gaming Discussion)

Old heads dropping their Xbox Live GTs while Panda casually admits to burning through multiple banned jtag accounts.

A long-running community thread where Fkn0wned members swapped Xbox Live gamertags to add each other for MW2/MW3, Black Ops, Halo Reach, Gears of War, and other console shooters of the era. It's mostly casual list-posting spanning late 2011 into mid-2012, but it drifts into some classic forum banter, sig-editing jokes, and a running gag around Rhets' oddly technical 'What is Rhets?' spoiler tag. Panda, a prolific VIP poster, turns up repeatedly with new gamertags and casually references having had multiple jtagged Xbox accounts banned.

TATAY MO CALBO— G-Eazy

stop editing my sig faggeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeets— Fractaz

I know, good to have jtag, I got multiple accounts banned.— Panda

good steam have it since my birth day lol - Raffles

A birthday Steam giveaway thread turns into a post-count farming free-for-all.

This was a giveaway/raffle thread in the Giveaways board, apparently started around someone's birthday offering a Steam-related prize. The replies quickly devolve into low-effort entries and inside jokes from regulars, with staff member 'electric' openly admitting to posting just to pad post count, and 'trs' spamming near-identical one-word entries. Longtime member 'Mickey' chimes in with a sarcastic birthday wish, a giant signature full of thank-yous to forum artists, and a nostalgic wall of shout-log dashes. It's a snapshot of the community's casual, jokey giveaway culture rather than a serious contest.

I NEED TO WIN THIS— electric

But I'm here only for post count— electric

Happy Birthday i guess...also 1 entry because i know i'm gonna win anyway. No i won't.— Mickey

Soo, When Did You Join?

A simple 'when did you join' thread turned into an old-timer roll call before a mod shut it down.

A veteran member (joined July 2006) started a casual thread asking longtime users when they first joined the forum, noting he hadn't seen many other 2006-era members around anymore. Only a couple of replies came in before a moderator marked the thread as closed with a simple 'answered.' It's a small, low-key nostalgia thread rather than any drama or event, but it captures that early-veteran-vs-newer-crowd feeling common on forums a year or two into their life.

Curious when u all joined. I havnt seen too many people from 06, i joined on July 8, 2006.— blacknight00

i join on the 19-November 07— benji1

Shiftz Announces a Month Away in Sicily

A co-manager goes off-grid for Christmas in Sicily and dares the staff to catch his post count

In this General Discussion thread from November 2007, longtime Fkn0wned co-manager Shiftz announces he'll be offline for about a month while visiting family in Messina, Sicily for Christmas, citing spotty internet access in the area. The post has a warm, personal, low-drama vibe typical of forum life check-ins, with Shiftz sharing travel photos and jokingly challenging fellow members Sonikk, Afteryou, and Laptops to close the gap on his post count while he's gone. It's less about site business and more a slice of everyday community life among the staff.

Anyway Sonikk, Afteryou and Laptops you have a month to get as close as you can to my post count haha.— Shiftz

This is so short notice, although we've been planning it for ages I only got told we are doing it about an hour ago.— Shiftz

hjlp! ayuda! help! - A Newbie's Multilingual Cry for Help

A confused newcomer begged for download instructions in Swedish, Spanish, and English — and got mildly roasted for it.

A brand-new member named chiliano007 posted a multilingual plea (Swedish, Spanish, English) asking where to click to download cheats, clearly lost in the forum's structure. Regular members quickly pointed him toward the cheat database and forums, while a couple of veterans poked fun at the redundant, confused nature of the post. It's a small, mundane slice of forum life — the classic 'newbie doesn't know how forums work' thread that every early-2000s community had.

vart trycker jag fr att ladda ner. adonde apreto para bajar una trampa were do i press to download cheats?— chiliano007

I lol'd. Was 2 topics needed... nope.— havok123

Feels Lonely When U Get Scammed

A scammed member goes looking for the old 'report the guy to the government' site — and gets pointed to PayPal instead

A member named CoryZ posted after getting scammed online (via PayPal), looking for a website previously shared on the forum that supposedly let users report scammers' info to be 'fined' by an official group. Another member pointed him to the real-world IC3 (Internet Crime Complaint Center) site, while a forum Manager, tKeR, gave the more grounded advice to just contact PayPal directly. A short, low-drama thread capturing the era's casual mix of naive scam-reporting folklore and actual practical advice.

I feel lonley :D— CoryZ

Normally calling PayPal works the best.— tKeR

A Reintroduction - Old CS 1.6 Coder Resurfaces

A former cheat coder from the original fkn0wned crawls back out of the woodwork in late 2007

A member going by FataLFx, who claimed to have coded Counter-Strike 1.6 cheats back during the very first incarnation of fkn0wned and the original cheat-network, pops back into the forum after finding the site still alive. He muses about picking coding back up for Source instead of 1.6, and notes that hardly any familiar faces remain. A handful of regulars (mr.N0Nam3, sorbazz, waLLa) welcome him back with the kind of dry, jokey greeting typical of the board.

Welcome <back> to hell.— mr.N0Nam3

you joined a year ago? is it that long ago really? anyway welcome back!!!!!1111one— sorbazz

Today's Free Poker Tournament

Fkn0wned's founder ran a free 1v1 Texas Hold'em bracket over Vent, warns for no-shows included

Founder TuxifieD announced a free, no-prize 1-on-1 No Limit Texas Hold'em tournament run through PokerStars, requiring players to be logged into the site's Vent server to talk trash and coordinate matches. Entry was free with a hard registration cutoff, and missing your bracket match meant an actual disciplinary warn on your forum account, showing how seriously small side-events were policed. The thread is short, mostly logistics and one member (Cortez7) asking how to even find the tournament, a very typical low-key 'General Discussion' filler thread from the site's community-events side.

Entry Fee: FREE Prize: None— TuxifieD

And how exactly can I find the tournament?— Cortez7

New Member Asks About the 'Hidden Content' System

The classic newbie question: what the heck is 'hidden content' and why does everyone say 'unhide'?

A brand-new member named kawi44 asks how the forum works, confused by posts showing 'hidden content' and other users replying 'unhide.' Fellow member Dave2007 explains the forum's reply-to-reveal system used to gate content behind posts. It's a short, mundane but charmingly nostalgic exchange capturing the everyday culture of the forum's hidden-content mechanic and how newcomers were guided into it.

for some reason when some one posts content on the forums it always says "hidden content" and every-one all ways says "unhide" what does this mean plz tell im a total newb at this— kawi44

means you cant see whats in the post till you make a post, alot of people say unhide or thanks, put whatever you want in your post then you can see hidden content— Dave2007

What did you get for xmas? (2012)

Christmas 2012 on fkn0wned: presents, Far Cry 3, and one guy bragging about a $300/hr do-nothing job

A lighthearted holiday chat thread in General Discussion where members traded what they got for Christmas 2012. d0t1q jokes about coasting at work while gaming and getting paid handsomely for it, and InfectedKush jokingly begs for a job hookup. Casual, low-stakes banter typical of the forum's off-topic community threads, with signature banners and personal Skype/site links tucked into posts as was common at the time.

I sit on a computer all day doing no work probly playin cs:go or farcry 3 because its xmas and I dont actually have to work so i get paid tomorrow 300$/hr to play farcry— d0t1q

Fk me, get me a job brah! thx— InfectedKush

"Blackshadow90" — the thread about a weird tag next to someone's name

A new member spots a mystery tag on a user's profile and briefly wonders if fkn0wned secretly had an admin clan.

A newer member (egawge) asks about a tag appearing next to user 'Blackshadow90's name, wondering if it signals membership in some admin clan. Staff and veteran members clarify it was just an automated 'Request Admin Check' flag for a possible spammer, and reiterate a running point of forum lore: fkn0wned was a community, not a clan. The thread drifts into a brief, mellow debate about whether the site should ever form an actual clan, with most leaning toward keeping the looser community vibe.

fkn isn't a clan, it's a community.— sammo

Nah think being a community is better then being a clan. Clans are all strict and rigid and stuff.— [LiP]STicK.

New D60 Shoots! — a brother's photography, shared with pride

A forum vet posts his brother's Nikon D60 shots from Belgium and gets nothing but praise (and one very confused jail joke).

In the Photography subforum, longtime member Bernie L. Madoff shared a batch of photos taken by his brother with a Nikon D60, all shot in Belgium, hosted via old Facebook CDN links. The thread is a rare quiet, wholesome corner of the site — replies are almost entirely compliments on image quality and composition, with an admin asking if the photographer had a Flickr. One reply threw in a jab referencing Bernie having been in jail, met with a shrug and a return to the photos. A low-key, well-liked showcase thread rather than any drama.

has jail actually made you that gay sorry, /ontopic: really good quality stuff. Does your brother have a flickr photostream by any chance?— ap3x

man i wish i could take pics like this.— QuaXz

Jake Photography!

A member moonlighting as a freelance gig photographer shares his portfolio — and gets exactly one heartfelt reply.

In the Photography subforum under Art & Design, member 'mad tag' shared a small selection of his own photography work, mentioning he ran his own photography company and had previously freelanced shooting gigs at a rock club. He linked out to his Flickr and a self-designed Myspace page for promo purposes since the forum's image tags weren't cooperating. The thread got one enthusiastic reply from a banned member before quietly closing out — a tiny, genuine slice of forum life outside the usual gaming/cheat talk.

I own my run my own photography company and this is a selection of my work...— mad tag

Fucking amazing man. Mad Tag, you're my hero. <3— Industry

Rapidshare Premium Fkn0wned Account Suggestion

Member pitches a shared Rapidshare account for the whole forum — veterans instantly call it doomed

A user named blackxthink suggested Fkn0wned set up a shared Rapidshare premium account for distributing movies and files, wondering if the password could be kept safe from members changing it. Longtime posters quickly shot the idea down, citing Rapidshare's bandwidth limits and the forum's own reputation for leechers who'd burn through the account and change the password within minutes of it being posted. The thread is a quick, mildly cynical back-and-forth capturing the era's file-sharing culture and the community's self-aware humor about its own userbase.

Eros posts them 1 minute, they are all changed in about 10mins, then everybody says "fucking gays who change the password".— sammo

ye way to many leechers. paword would get changed even before the account exist lol.— asshoel50

Halo Custom Edition - "*Online Only*" thread

Old heads pop in just to say Halo CE was the best community they ever ran with.

A short, low-key nostalgia thread in the Games subforum where members reminisce about Halo Custom Edition, calling it one of gaming's classics. A staff member recalls playing Halo CE competitively in CAL and rates its community as their all-time favorite. Replies are brief, warm, and appreciative rather than technical or contentious.

greatest game of alll time, I use to play halo ce in cal, my favourite community ever.— HaSh

one of the classics..nice work— MiZZun0

The Music Game! (word-chain song thread)

One word, one song, seven pages deep — fkn0wned's music nerds turn a chain game into a marathon.

A simple word-association music game started by trinetyface in the Music -beta- subforum: each poster names a song sharing a word with the previous entry. It ran to at least seven pages and pulled in a mix of regulars from the Warez Crew, Graphics Crew, and 500/1000 Club ranks, bouncing between rap, rock, and random deep cuts. Lighthearted and low-stakes, it's a good snapshot of the forum's casual, off-topic social side outside the cheat/warez sections.

Eye suck dick. JK JK JK :D— Junnyerr

So here goes. Post a song which has one word from the previous song that was posted.— trinetyface

Handheld Gaming: iOS, 3DS and PSP

Old fkn0wned crew swapping 3DS friend codes and arguing over Mario Kart 7's online mode.

A casual General board thread where members chatted about handheld gaming, mainly the Nintendo 3DS, PSP and iOS. Regulars traded 3DS friend codes, praised Mario Kart 7's online multiplayer, and griped about the thin 3DS game library at the time. Low-key, friendly hangout thread rather than anything technical or dramatic.

I'm telling y'all, Mario Kart 7 might be my favorite...the online is just amazing— soulglazed

I haven't been able to buy any game other than Sims 3D...even though I still love my 3DS.— silentr0ck

Post Your Country

A simple 'where are you from' thread that turned into a tiny world map of fkn0wned regulars.

A casual General Discussion thread where members posted their home countries, often with a flag pic or a quick line about it. DarkRood, a longtime Graphics Crew member, repped Sweden with an image, while 1K Club member phillip chimed in with Australia and a plug for likes on his posts. Low-effort, high-nostalgia filler thread typical of the community's laid-back off-topic culture.

(Picture related to Sweden)— DarkRood

australia if you like my posts, please leave a like :D— phillip

System Idle Process - thejah's CPU Panic

A member panics over 'System Idle Process' eating his CPU — and it ends with a mod roast for closing.

A basic Tech Support thread where member thejah asks how to lower the mysterious 'System Idle Process' he thinks is lagging his PC. Fellow members bLunts and Unbeliveable explain it's harmless and doesn't actually consume resources. Thejah admits his real issue was a dying/failing computer (specifically his mom's aging rig struggling with Chrome), thanks everyone, and asks to close the thread — which moderator vermiLLion does, but not without a cheeky closing note calling out the exchange.

System idle process i running like crazy its lagging up my computer does anyone know how to lower it ?— thejah

Complained about poor black people computers then told me to close the topic.— vermiLLion

The Median XL Download-For-a-Steam-Account Bounty

f0wh offered a free Steam account with L4D2 to whoever would download a Diablo II mod for him — because he was stuck on mobile data

f0wh, a longtime FkN Crew member, posted an odd little bounty: unable to download files on his phone connection, he asked someone to grab the Median XL Diablo II mod, extract a specific file's contents, and paste the (huge, ~123MB) text somewhere for him, promising a Steam account with L4D2 in return. drplobble doubted it was even feasible before finding a workaround via an HTML page, and admin ap3x stepped in, downloaded it, and hosted the file for f0wh directly. The request was fulfilled within a day and admin ap3x closed the thread as solved — a small, mundane slice of forum life showing the community's habit of favor-trading and casual file-sharing help.

It's simple, just be creative. Either upload to pastesites in several parts, or paste the text in an html file and upload to an ftp.— f0wh

Welcome Back Vermillion to the Crew

A returning member gets the full red-carpet, gif-flooded welcome from the FkN crew.

A short Site News announcement celebrating the return of a member named Vermillion to the Fkn0wned staff/crew. Regulars Jinzak and silentr0ck chime in with warm, jokey welcome-back messages and gift graphics, typical of the forum's tight-knit clique culture. It's a small, low-content thread but shows the community's camaraderie and inside-joke nicknames ('princess').

Welcome back, Verm.— Jinzak

Welcome back princess!— silentr0ck

Caption This! Week 1 - The Bunny Moped Picture

A whole week of Fkn0wned regulars trying to out-caption a photo of a bunny riding a moped.

A lighthearted Site Related game thread where members submitted one-line captions for a designated weekly picture — this round's image being a bunny on a moped that clearly went viral across a few different image hosts. Members from the CS:S crowd (and a stray GMOD poster) chimed in with quick one-liners before a moderator, DCLXVI, closed the thread to move to voting. Low-stakes, goofy community filler typical of the forum's Site Related section, with recognizable long-time names like Fluffman (1000 Club) and Janza dropping in.

bunny fuck!— |-noodle-|

haha. classic— yardstick

Umfrage: Seit ihr aktive Cheater? (German cheating poll)

A German-language poll asked fkn0wned members point-blank: are you still cheating? — most said not anymore.

A short German-language poll thread in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum asking members whether they were currently active cheaters, with options ranging from 'hell yes' to 'not for a long time.' Only a handful of members voted (7 total), with most saying they'd quit a while back. Replies were casual and self-reflective, with one member joking about how obvious it was when other players on their regular server were using wallhacks, and how those players always denied it or blamed lag/teamspeak instead of admitting to cheating.

Verdammt noch mal, JA!

New Member 'XXX password' Gets the Full Crew Welcome

A new member named 'XXX password' says hi, and half the staff crew shows up to welcome them

A classic low-key intro thread from July 2011: a brand-new member with the unfortunate-in-hindsight username 'XXX password' pops in to say hello, and a parade of regulars and [FkN] Crew/VIP members reply with the standard warm welcomes. Nothing dramatic happens — it's a pure slice of everyday forum life, notable mainly for the sheer number of tagged VIPs and crew members (cl4w, zanderdanmark, FR3QU3NCY, QuaXz, trs, LittleRed, Charlie) taking a moment to greet a nobody-yet newcomer. A good little time capsule of the community's friendly, joke-cracking culture before it faded into internet history.

Welcome, im thinking with a name like that your going to fit right in ;)— d0t1q

hi dude i hope u become active— KnKaniff

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

Mr. Pink's 'Guess My Job' Competition

Members tried to guess a user's real-life job in this Competitions board game — chaos and banter ensued.

A lighthearted guessing-game thread in the Competitions section of Fkn0wned, where forum member Mr. Pink challenged others to guess his real-life occupation. Replies show typical VIP-member banter, including guesses, jokes about a signature image, and casual off-topic ribbing. The snippet captures the loose, joking culture of the forum's community-game threads circa January 2014.

Damn, how'd you know.. And is that chick in your signature from BangBros?— Panda

Member of the Month, July: AngelsDead

The thread congratulating AngelsDead on her MOTM win — and the sig-brag/vouch parade that followed.

A short congratulatory thread celebrating AngelsDead, a well-known '[FknLady]' member, winning Member of the Month for July. AngelsDead thanks the community, and fellow member Mickey chimes in with praise for her Gfx forum activity, alongside a lengthy personal signature showcasing custom-made sigs from various designers and a long list of trade vouches. Fairly typical of the forum's social/community side rather than the cheat-scene technical side.

gheheh thanks all— AngelsDead

Grats Angels I've seen you posting like 500 topics in the Gfx forum,grats keep it up— Mickey

Introduce Yourself Thread

The old welcome mat of Fkn0wned — where every new face got a 'welcome, enjoy your stay' and a BTC donation plug.

This was the community's general introduction thread, where new members said hello and established regulars greeted them. The snippet captures two brief welcome posts from early 2014: one from longtime member Mugen (a France-based '[FkN] Crew' regular with thousands of posts) offering help and a donation address, and a short greeting from SerbianGaming to a member called 'omega'. It's a small, routine slice of forum life rather than a dramatic moment — just the everyday warmth of a niche cheat-scene community welcoming newcomers.

Welcome and enjoy your stay Thanks Panda ! <3 <3 <3 Pm me if you need help with something.— Mugen

Welcome omega— SerbianGaming

The Official Vote Thread

Two clicks a day, twelve hours apart — the daily ritual to keep Fkn0wned on top.

A staff-posted call-to-action asking members to vote for the Fkn0wned.com site on external top-site listing services, twice daily, to help the forum regain its ranking. Co-Manager Shifty kicked it off with links and a friendly appeal, and Supervisor Don Ruski chimed in shortly after. It's a small but classic piece of forum-community upkeep from the site's competitive top-sites era.

Help Fkn regain their top spots.— Shifty

The Things You Love

One of fkn0wned's cheat-scene regulars pauses the VAC-proof talk to list off his iPhone, guitar, and Coca-Cola.

A light, feel-good off-topic thread in Fkn0wned's General Discussion where members listed the small things that made them happy — this snippet catches page 5 of a long-running list-style thread. Poster 'Archies' rattles off a simple top-8: his face, iPhone, computer, Coca Cola, guitar, music, friends, and family. It's a low-key, wholesome break from the site's usual cheat-database and rage-thread traffic, showing the softer, community side of a forum otherwise known for VAC-proof releases and scripting.
