Official Xbox 360 Gamertag Thread

Old-school Fkn0wned members swap Xbox 360 gamertags and flex their MyGamerCard stats.

A General Discussion thread from November 2008 where forum mod Kimmi invites members to post their Xbox 360 gamertags, recommending MyGamerCard.net for generating embeddable gamercard images. It's a simple community bonding thread with a light rule attached: posts without a gamertag get deleted or warned. Smod Afteryou is among the first to reply, capturing the casual, gaming-community feel of the site outside its cheat-database focus.

Posts without a gamertag will get deleted/warned!— Kimmi

Album Reviews - Format Guidelines Thread

The post that tried to turn fkn0wned's music board into a proper album review zine.

A [FkN] Graphics Crew member named Emrys opened this thread in the experimental 'Music -beta-' subforum, inviting members to submit album and mixtape reviews using a set format (cover art, length, tracklist, rating out of 5, personal thoughts). The pitch was that if enough people participated, the section might get spun off into its own permanent forum. It's a quiet, functional mod post rather than a drama thread — more a snapshot of the community trying to branch out beyond gaming/cheats into art and music culture.

So go ahead, get reviewing the latest albums and mixtapes.— Emrys

Welcome PopTart back as a [FkN]Admin!

The day PopTart got the admin tag back — and the regulars showed up to say welcome home.

A short celebratory thread on Fkn0wned marking the return of member PopTart to the [FkN]Admin staff role. Long-time member Tr1ckZ, a '1K Club' regular with over a thousand posts, dropped a quick welcome-back message. Typical of the forum's community-glue threads — brief, casual, more about camaraderie than content.

Welcome Back brah!— Tr1ckZ

MOTM January: Monster

The month's 'Member of the Month' post, plus a French database admin handing out virtual hugs and PMs.

This is a brief congratulatory post naming 'Monster' as Member of the Month for January, tucked into a general/site-related area of the Fkn0wned forum. User Mugen, a Database Admin with over 5,000 posts, chimes in to congratulate Panda and Fuser and offers help via PM to anyone who needs it. The page is a fragment of a larger thread with mostly the tail-end reply visible, giving a small snapshot of the community's friendly, close-knit tone.

Gratz <3 Thanks Panda and Fuser ! <3 <3 <3 If you need help for something, pm me, I'll see what I can do for you— Mugen

Describe the Person Above You With a Song

A whole page of members getting musically roasted (or celebrated) by whoever posted next.

A lighthearted forum game thread in General Discussion where members took turns picking a song to 'describe' the poster above them. Typical of the filler/fun threads that kept the community glued together between the cheat releases and drama, it ran long enough to stretch past a single page. No major controversy here, just old-school forum bonding and inside jokes.

New Year's Four In A Row Tournament

Ringing in the new year the fkn0wned way: a Connect Four bracket in the Competitions board.

A New Year's-themed 'Four In A Row' (Connect Four) tournament thread posted in the Competitions section of the fkn0wned forum. The page is mostly site chrome and navigation with little surviving discussion content, but it marks a lighthearted community event meant to bring members together around the holiday. Typical of the forum's mix of serious cheat/hacking database sections alongside casual social competitions.

League of Legends Summoner Tag List

Drop your summoner name here — the old fkn0wned crew's LoL friends list, four pages deep.

A long-running Gaming Discussion thread where members posted their League of Legends summoner names so others on the forum could add them and queue up together. It ran to at least four pages, suggesting it was a steady, low-drama community hangout thread rather than a hot debate. Mostly notable as a snapshot of the forum's gaming-community side outside of the cheat/hacking database sections.

How well do you know the person above you */10 - Page 9

A decade-old rating game where regulars sized each other up out of ten — page 9 of the grind.

This was a long-running filler/social thread in General Discussion where members rated how well they knew whoever posted right before them, on a scale out of ten. It's the kind of low-stakes, high-volume thread that padded post counts and kept the community chatting between cheat releases and drama threads. By page 9 of 10 the thread had clearly become a fixture, with regulars cycling through and rating each other repeatedly. No major drama here, just the everyday social glue of the forum.

Goodbye zanderdanmark

One of Fkn0wned's own said their farewells — a small update thread that marked the end of an era for someone in the crew.

A short 'Minor Updates' announcement thread marking the departure of member zanderdanmark from the Fkn0wned Forum. These threads typically served as the site's bulletin board for staff/member comings and goings, and this one was dedicated to a goodbye. The actual page content is mostly forum navigation and database chrome, with the real farewell messages likely spread across the thread's pages.

Welcome Kudi to the FkN crew!

A new staffer joins FkN0wned — page one of a three-page welcome thread.

A short site-announcement thread from the 'Minor Updates' subforum announcing that a member called Kudi had joined the FkN0wned staff/crew. The post kicked off a multi-page (3 pages) round of community congratulations and welcomes, typical of how the site marked new staff additions. No drama or technical content here, just a routine but well-received site milestone.

[Vote] Caption This Competition #8

Round 8 of the forum's beloved caption contest — democracy in action, meme-style.

This was a voting thread for the eighth installment of 'Caption This,' a recurring lighthearted competition in the General/Competitions section where members submitted funny captions for images and the community voted for a winner. It's a small snapshot of the forum's casual, fun side away from the cheat/hacking talk that dominated elsewhere on the site.

BO II Raffle Thread

Remember when people actually gave away free Black Ops II keys just for forum cred?

A giveaway/raffle thread from the Fkn0wned Forum's Competitions subforum, centered on Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Part of the site's broader raffle culture where members ran or entered giveaways for games, keys, and other prizes as a way to build community goodwill and activity. This particular thread ran at least 4 pages deep, suggesting decent member participation and interest.

BF3 / NFS The Run / FIFA 12 Origin Account Raffle

Someone raffled off an Origin account loaded with BF3, NFS The Run, and FIFA 12 — remember when that was the big prize?

A raffle thread in the Competitions section offering an Origin account bundled with Battlefield 3, Need for Speed: The Run, and FIFA 12 as the prize. Typical of Fkn0wned's raffle culture where members traded entries and hype for gaming accounts and keys. The thread ran at least three pages, suggesting decent community engagement for the giveaway.

Congratulations Silentr0ck

A staff shoutout thread that ran two whole pages — who was Silentr0ck and what did they do to earn it?

A Site News announcement thread congratulating a member (or staff appointee) named Silentr0ck, apparently for a promotion or achievement on the forum. The thread stretched to at least two pages, suggesting a decent number of members chimed in with congratulations, typical of the community's habit of publicly celebrating rank-ups or staff picks. No further detail on the reason for the congratulations survives in the extracted content.

Easter Giveaways Thread

The old crew ran an Easter giveaway thread — anyone remember what they were handing out?

A Site News announcement thread on the Fkn0wned forum promoting Easter-themed giveaways, part of the site's periodic community engagement events. Spanned at least two pages, suggesting decent member participation and replies. The surrounding page shows the forum's broader structure at the time: a cheat/hack database for various games (CS 1.6, CS:S, CoD titles, etc.) alongside general chat, gaming market, and security sections.

Welcome Dreamerz Back as [FkN]Crew

A returning member gets crowned back into the crew — page 2 of the well-wishes.

This is the tail end of a Site News thread announcing that a member known as Dreamerz was welcomed back into the [FkN]Crew staff/member group. By page 2 the actual announcement had already happened, leaving mostly congratulations and community chatter rounding out the thread. It's a small but telling artifact of forum culture — status changes and returning veterans were big enough news to get their own thread.

First One to Solve Gets a Steam Key #4

A quick riddle or puzzle stood between forum regulars and a free Steam game — again.

This was the fourth installment of a recurring 'Competitions' thread on Fkn0wned where a staffer or veteran member posed some kind of challenge or puzzle, with a Steam key going to whoever solved it first. The surviving fragment only shows a late reply from longtime VIP member Ray Teh AK, posted in March 2013, suggesting the thread ran for a while and attracted regular engagement from established community members. These giveaway threads were a small but steady part of the site's culture of rewarding active, contributing users.

MOTM December – Kudi + New 1k/VIP Feature

Kudi takes December's Member of the Month as fkn0wned rolls out a shiny new VIP perk.

An official 'Minor Updates' announcement post from the Site Related section, naming Kudi as December's Member of the Month and unveiling a new feature tied to hitting 1,000 posts / VIP status. It's the kind of housekeeping thread that kept the community loop informed on site changes and recognized active members, spanning at least two pages of replies.

Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition Players COME HERE!

Before Minecraft was even out on Xbox properly, the fkn0wned crowd was already staking claims on who'd play together.

A rally-the-troops thread in the Console Gaming Discussion board where members with the Xbox 360 Edition of Minecraft were invited to check in and connect. It reflects the forum's broader identity as a gaming/cheat-scene community branching beyond its PC roots (Counter-Strike, Call of Duty) into console titles like Minecraft, which the site's own hack database still listed as 'Coming soon!' at the time.

"Where is the haxes?" — a classic newbie thread

A brand-new member asks the most basic question imaginable, gets pointed to the database, thread closed in six minutes flat.

A newly registered member with all of 13 posts asked where to find the CS 1.6 cheats on the site, unable to locate the Database section. Two regulars (hunterbrute224 and Goodapollo) politely pointed him to the Cheat Database navigation path, and the thread was closed by a moderator the same day with the tongue-in-cheek reason 'solved for jesus!'. A small, mundane but perfectly preserved slice of everyday forum life — the kind of low-stakes newbie thread every cheat-scene board had dozens of.

where can i find cs 1.6 cheat on this website :b ?— drdre

look under database, click Counter Strike 1.6, there, now you can get Hacks, and scripts and stuff.— hunterbrute224

solved for jesus!— mr.N0Nam3

New Member Asks How to Add a Signature Image

A new guy just wanted to know how to put a pic in his sig — chaos, kindness, and one random confession about a browser game ensued.

A low-stakes General Discussion thread from November 2007 where member CoryZ sheepishly asked how to add an image to his forum signature. A couple of regulars and staff (Arcade, Industry) patiently explained BBcode and image hosting, keeping the tone light and self-deprecating. A one-post member, supercan, derailed briefly with an unrelated aside about a browser game, and Supervisor-rank member HaSh dropped in near the end. Classic filler-thread vibe: minor question, quick helpful answers, a little forum noise for flavor.

How do i put a pic in my sig? do i need to be a like a pimp or sometin or am i dum Plz helpo— CoryZ

It's called BBcode, used for forums.— Arcade

i know how to use cheat engine to hack in clickclickclick .com— supercan

Quick Question... (Steam/CSS name got changed)

A guy's Steam name mysteriously morphs and the whole board yells 'CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD'

Member 'Wares' noticed his CS:S in-game name had been altered without his knowledge and asked the forum if anyone had ideas why. Regulars quickly diagnosed it as a compromised account, with staff and veterans chiming in with dry jokes and the standard 'change your password (and security question) immediately' advice. It's a small, mundane slice of the forum's daily life — account security paranoia mixed with the community's usual snark.

I would fucking look over my shoulder, probably go to bed. Seriously, I hate that shit! =| Change pass! If you haven't already, then you're retarded..— The Moose

HAHAHAH Somebody's messing with you.— Don Ruski

change the sq too— blacknight00

WillowZ's Call of Duty 4 Frag Video

A CoD4 frag montage gets a 9/10 — but everyone begs him to lose the music.

In late November 2007, member WillowZ shared a self-made Call of Duty 4 gameplay/frag video via YouTube, apologizing for quality loss from compression. A handful of regulars weighed in with quick praise, calling it one of the better frag videos they'd seen, while several members pushed back specifically on his choice of background music, asking for a cleaner cut with just game sound for the follow-up. It's a small, friendly slice of the community's video-sharing culture rather than any major event.

nicely done. one of the better Youtube frag videos i've seen.— integrity09

Don't do the second one with music please..— The Moose

lol do music or the sounds of the game— minitureman

fknj00 Review — Vouch Thread for a Market Place Trader

The receipts thread where fknj00's trade partners lined up to co-sign him, jokes and all.

This was a standard Market Place vouch/review thread, started by j00j07 to collect feedback on trades done with a user known as fknj00. A handful of members (Sleeping Forest, michaelkd, f0x0928, 1up) chimed in with quick 5-star style reviews confirming fast, smooth transactions, sprinkled with typical forum locker-room humor. It's a small snapshot of the site's informal reputation system for account/goods trading rather than any drama or notable event.

Uhm.. Epically fast.. buttseckz couldnt feel any better, 5* for response.— Sleeping Forest

Trusted guy and good for booty calls ;) Has my Vouch— 1up

Great buyer, sent money quick. I would have no problems taking money from him again.— j00j07

The Classic Newbie 'Where's the Download Button' Thread

A brand-new member just wants to know where the 'download' button is — chaos and helpful nonsense ensue

A new member named chiliano007 asks the age-old newbie question of how to actually download a cheat from the site, sparking a mix of genuine help and trolling. Regulars point him toward the cheat database and release threads, while one poster jokingly claims download links are 'hidden' behind a fake paywall or forced 'unhide' reply, a classic bit of forum ribbing aimed at newcomers. A supervisor eventually steps in with the real, straightforward answer about the database dropdown and download button.

whwre do i press if i want to download a cheat!?!?!??!— chiliano007

pay $10 a month to join the 1k club— bobbafett07

there is a Download now button there.— Sonikk

RAGING IN BF2 - video share thread

A Battlefield 2 rage-montage YouTube link, some polite applause, and a casual 'yeah I got banned for that' from the peanut gallery.

A member called milla62 shares a Battlefield 2 video made with a friend, generating a handful of quick, friendly replies from other regulars praising the editing. A related older teamkilling video gets dropped in too. One poster casually mentions getting banned for doing something similar, and a staff member drops in near the end without much comment. Classic low-stakes, feel-good video-share thread from the Other Games corner of the forum.

nice cutting bro!! last 3 minutes were really good— LoRd Ragealot

nice i did this but get banned straightaway.— Uncensor3d

don't worry theres more to come— homelesshobo

New member confused by hidden download links

A brand-new noob panics because he can't find the download... turns out you just had to reply.

A fresh member with only a handful of posts, one day old on the forum, begs for help figuring out how downloads work in the Battlefield 2 section, confused that posts referencing files have no visible link. Veteran member pyeman and Super Moderator DCLXVI quickly explain the classic forum mechanic: reply to the topic and the hidden download link reveals itself. The thread is marked resolved and closed by staff almost immediately.

How in the dam world am I supposed to download things!— Brendyoyo

u have to reply to the topic to see the download link— pyeman

Reply to the topic and it should unhide itself.— DCLXVI

Help Me With Motivation (Fitness)

A CS 1.6 regular quits hockey, starts putting on weight, and asks the forum how to get off the couch

User sorbazz opens up about falling out of shape after giving up hockey for school, admitting he barely exercises and wants motivation tips. A handful of regulars chime in with genuine, low-key advice about jogging, gym routines, and finding friends to play sports with, alongside some typical forum ribbing. A minor detour into joke image links caps off the thread, keeping the tone light despite the sincere ask.

Stop being a lazy twat and go jogging.— Shifty.

Just a Drawing I Made in School

A bored kid's doodle of the Fkn0wned logo gets gently roasted by the forum regulars.

A low-key General Discussion thread where a member shared a school doodle related to the site, and other regulars weighed in with mixed, mostly unimpressed reactions. It drifts into typical off-topic banter, including a tangent about a Halloween mishap involving egging houses and falling through a window. Nothing dramatic — just a slice of everyday forum small talk between members like Sammo and The Moose critiquing art and joking around.

Seriously if you are going to draw something don't base it around a website. Draw something which is visual, trees or an animal for example.— Sammo

I didn't like it that much, really.. Sori..— The Moose

No, just retarded. And if you think I'm high now, you should have seen me on Halloween. I went egging houses and fell through someone's window. Somehow.— Seaking

Is This CD Key Site Trustable?

Member asks if a sketchy MW2 key site is legit — spoiler: the admins say scam.

Speedo asked fellow members whether a third-party site selling a Modern Warfare 2 CD key was trustworthy, since it required a username/password to purchase. Other members quickly pushed back, warning about handing over Steam credentials and pointing out the price seemed off compared to forum deals. Staff members including admin ap3x and smod PopTart weighed in firmly calling it a scam, and by the end of the thread the site itself appeared to have gone down (404), reinforcing everyone's suspicions.

Its a scam. Trust me— PopTart

Just don't give out your Steam password to anyone, that's simple..— Ricox

Straight bullshit.— vermiLLion

Hi all! - killalol's Welcome Thread

A new member says hi, and half the forum shows up just to point him at the thread he missed.

A brand-new member, killalol, drops a quick self-intro on the General Discussion board back in November 2007, mentioning he'd been 'hacking for awhile on alot of games.' The regulars pile in with the usual welcome-wagon routine — good wishes, a nudge to read the rules, a redirect to the proper introduction thread he'd missed, and a bit of light ribbing about a suspicious link fatsanta dropped. Nothing dramatic, just a small, friendly snapshot of everyday forum life and community etiquette on Fkn0wned.

Hi all I'm Killa new to the Fkn0wned forum been hacking for awhile on alot of games— killalol

welcome to Fkn0wned <-----click it!— fatsanta

santa is that really needed?— Legit_Hacks

New Member Sylar13 Says Hello (2007 Welcome Thread)

A new member says 'hello everyone' and the regulars pile on with welcomes, Aussie banter, and a Heroes reference

A brand-new member, Sylar13, posts a simple one-word-ish greeting to introduce themselves in General Discussion. A handful of established Fkn0wned regulars, including staff member PaRaNoID, reply with quick welcomes. The thread has a lighthearted, low-stakes 'welcome wagon' vibe typical of new-member intro threads, with a bit of Aussie camaraderie and a passing pop-culture jab about the TV show Heroes based on Sylar13's username.

hello every one— Sylar13

heyy matee good to see another aussie— jcomp6

Hi. You're a Heroes fan aren't you?— Eckos

New Tattoo

A member shows off his fresh neck ink and gets roasted for it

Member 'Ryan' (a.k.a. .:XxX:.) posted photos of matching Christmas tattoos he and his girlfriend got, sparking the usual mix of compliments, ribbing, and skepticism typical of the General Discussion board. Regulars chimed in about the pain of a neck tattoo, joked about visible acne in the photos, and speculated on how the ink would age. A couple of established names, including co-manager Shifty and staff member miLLer, dropped in, giving it a bit more weight than a typical off-topic post.

Damn I would never get 1 on my neck, I bet that hurt like a bitch.— Shifty

pussy. scared of a little pain?— olie22

Wonder what's it gonna look like when you grow old.— Exodus

New guy says hi, immediately spots the 'Introduce Yourself' thread he missed

A newbie's polite 'hi' turns into a classic self-own when he realizes he posted in the wrong thread.

A fresh member named Splic0 drops into General Discussion to introduce himself, admits he mostly plays TF2 now instead of CS, and then sheepishly notices there's already a dedicated introduction thread he should've used. Regulars pile on with the standard warm welcome, mixed with tips about using the search function and how to unlock 'hidden content' banners by replying to threads. A low-level ranking member also can't resist a light jab about him posting off-topic with barely any post count. It's a small, everyday slice of the forum's welcoming-but-teasing culture.

Can someone move this?— Splic0

welcum mate good teh see somebody who has 7 posts and has posted in the off-topic section— Olie22

if you see a "hidden content" banner, just reply to the topic, return to the first page and the content will be unhidden !— Exodus

Car pictures with Nikon D60

A VIP shares his brother's Nikon D60 car shots from Spa, Belgium — and gets caught out by his own signature pic

In the Photography subforum, VIP member Bernie L. Madoff posted a set of car photos taken by his brother 'Noprobz' with a Nikon D60, shot around Spa, Belgium and touched up in Photoshop. The thread turned into a friendly appreciation chain with members praising specific shots (an Audi, a Dodge, bottle and tequila photos) and asking for full-size versions for wallpapers. A minor comic moment came when smod Kimmi jokingly mistook Bernie's forum signature image (of Bernard Madoff) for one of the car photos, prompting a light 'gotcha' exchange.

You mean the picture of Bernard Madoff? That's in his signature, you dummy. He didn't make that picture.— Kimmi

No, I didn't make the pic of my sign .— Bernie L. Madoff

The dodge is hella sexeh :) good job— gilkra

Shwager's Blurry Flower Photo

A blurry cellphone flower pic and three replies — small-town forum charm at its finest.

A quiet, low-key post in the Photography subforum where longtime member Shwager shared an old cellphone photo of a flower for critique. A couple of regulars, including admin ap3x and Graphics Crew member pheonixinwater, chimed in with light banter about the photo's blur and unexpectedly large size for a phone camera. It's a small, friendly slice of everyday forum life rather than any major event — the kind of casual, low-stakes thread that filled the Art & Design section between the bigger drama and giveaways elsewhere on the site.

I don't know what it is about this picture but to me it seems... blurry.— ap3x

That's huge for a cellphone picture lol nice flower ;D— pheonixinwater

Well thank you baby ;D— Shwager

Need Help Fixing a Family Photo

Someone's uncle had bad lighting in a family photo — the forum tried to help, gently, in 2009.

A small, low-key thread in the Photography subforum where member Ninjade asked for advice on fixing a shadow and bad lighting in a photograph belonging to their dad, taken of an uncle and his kids. Other members, including Puree and spammingman, offered basic Photoshop tips (dodge/burn) and asked to see the image, while a guest poster chimed in on the technical limits of fixing single-frame shadows. A wholesome, ordinary slice of forum life with no drama — just neighbors helping with a family photo problem.

The lighting is coming from the wrong side, and there's a shadow on my uncle's face.— Ninjade

Hmmm, if you have the digital image you could touch it up with photoshop with the burn/dodge tool.— Puree

Im sure that you cant. because the picture is 1 frame, not multiple frames.— Guest_JamehGould_*

The Metacafe Fundraiser Pledge (Suggestions + Feedback)

A member swore he'd hand fkn0wned half his Metacafe earnings — and got called a view-farmer on sight

A user named natin1337 pitched a plan to sign up for Metacafe's pay-per-view program and donate half his earnings to fkn0wned.com as a thank-you to the community. The thread quickly turned skeptical, with members accusing him of just farming views and subscriptions under the guise of generosity. Some members played along half-jokingly, threatening DDoS or 'the wrath of something epic' if he didn't follow through on the donation. A minor post-count flex and back-and-forth bickering rounded out the small, low-stakes thread typical of the Suggestions + Feedback board.

Guys, its just some random kid trying to get views, trust me.— mthemapc

I'll vote, but if you don't donate, you will feel the wrath of something epic.— Skippy

so just ddos the fuck out of my if i dont donate lol— natin1337

Bidding Starting at 1 [FkN] Point... (Demonoid Invite Auction)

One member auctioned off Demonoid invites for forum points — and someone named 'waLLa' walked away the winner.

A quick little auction thread in the Trading > Auctions section where user Famousss put up Demonoid invites for bidding, priced in the site's internal '[FkN] points' currency. A handful of members traded bids over about a day, with one guy asking innocently 'whats demonoid???', before the auction closed and waLLa took it with the top bid of 30 points. Classic small-scale forum economy stuff — low stakes, fast turnaround, and a clear deadline set by the seller.

demonoid invites...this will in on 6th oct at 12mid night UK time get bidding or make me an offer— Famousss

whats demonoid???— Legit_Hacks

and wer done, winner ins "waLLa"— Famousss

Post your own songs! (Music -beta- share thread)

The Art & Design crew tries to birth a music scene, one shaky hardstyle track at a time

pheonixinwater kicks off a thread in the brand new 'Music -beta-' subforum inviting members to share original tracks, starting with his own admittedly rough hardstyle attempt. A handful of regulars trickle in with encouragement and small talk about production software (FL Studio 8 gets a mention), and admin ap3x pins the thread as a good idea while joking he's no composer. A German member's language mix-up over 'IST' vs 'is' gets a laugh, and another poster suggests splitting off a separate thread for technical discussion so this one doesn't get cluttered.

if ap3x writes a song I'll shit brix— NIX

really shit I know... but I thought I'd get the ball rolling— pheonixinwater

i live in germany and here is "ist" = "is" got some problems with it xD— dannzy

why am i not in 1k club?

A guy with 1,035 posts demands to know why he's not in the '1K Club' — chaos and cookie-shaming ensues.

A member named asshoel50, already past 1,000 posts, complains that he hasn't been promoted to the site's '1K Club' user group and says his PM to an admin (tux) went unanswered. Other members chime in with theories (site changes causing bugs, admins just being slow), some good-natured mockery, and a supervisor named Shifty briefly gets confused and thinks the OP already has the tag before backtracking. It's a small, mundane slice of forum bureaucracy — post-count rank grievances — treated with typical light forum humor rather than real drama.

I have over 1k posts and im not in 1k club, wtf?!?!— asshoel50

Are you guys blind? ROFL edit - nvm, his avatar tricked me.— Shifty.

You're special.. Here, have a cookie.— lol

Welcome back Puree<3, DarkRood Promoted

The regulars roll out the welcome mat for a returning member and a fresh promotion.

A Site News announcement thread marking two events: the return of member 'Puree' to the forum and the staff promotion of 'DarkRood'. The replies are a stream of congratulations from crew members and regulars, with some cross-talk about custom signature tags made by other members and a plug for using the report button to help staff. Low-drama, purely celebratory community housekeeping post typical of the forum's Site News section.

Gratz dudes!— Fopje

Congratulations to both of you— NigelStrawberry

Congratulations DarkRood! You're truly worth it!— Saulius

iLuvnic's Vouch/Reputation Thread

One VIP's whole trading resume, from CoD4 keys to Nike SB's and a cheap Steam account.

A classic Market Place vouch thread where user iluvnic asked fellow members to post positive reviews to build up their trader reputation. Over a few months in late 2009 and early 2010, a handful of members chimed in confirming smooth deals — CoD4 key sales, a pair of Nike SB's, and a Steam account — all vouching for fast, legit transactions. A small, quiet slice of the forum's informal marketplace trust system in action.

bought a cod 4 key from me. great buyer. fast transaction. will do business again. A++ LEGIT— i dont hack radical good speed!

Legit seller, bought a pair of Nike SB's off of him. Shipped fast. Great buy.— h4voCK

Traded my CoD4 Key, For His 10 USD. I went first, no probs~!— DvS

Selling Guild Wars Account

A member tries to sell his $90 Guild Wars account and gets mocked down to 12 cents.

Member monk3y posted a low-key classifieds thread in 2007 trying to offload his Guild Wars account, which included both the Nightfall and Prophecies expansions, having originally spent around $90-100 on it. Instead of real offers, the thread quickly turned into a joke as other members lowballed him with absurd counter-offers, starting at 12 cents and eventually rising to a whopping $8. A minor, good-natured bit of forum ribbing rather than any actual sale, typical of the era's laid-back trading subforums.

$0.12 That is 12 cents for those. Best offer.— Klud

ill pay $8.00 dollars— soldja3678

lol id rather trade it then get 1.50, if u guys wa...— monk3y

COD4 players

A slow-burn Xbox Live add-me thread that limped along for nearly a year, one bored console kid at a time

A simple gamertag-exchange thread for Call of Duty 4 players on Fkn0wned's Console Games Discussion board. It opened in August 2010 with a member complaining that not enough people played CoD4 anymore, and dribbled on with sporadic replies from different members over the following ten months, mixing add-me requests with light banter about PC vs console FPS gaming. It ends with an unrelated clan-recruitment plug for CoD4 PC players.

I prefer cod4 over the newer one...it isn't nearly as gay. It's just that not that many people play it :(— Repulse

FPS games is for PC guys... :(— TripleD

Because in Soviet Russia, I add you. Sooo, add me. Rofl.— FLaTLiN3D

Need Points?? - Noob Begs, Gets Clowned, Mod Warns

A noob begs for forum points, gets clowned by the regulars, then a mod warns him for it

A low-post-count member, sniperlock901, posts in The Market Place asking anyone to just give him points outright. Established members minitureman and fizzer immediately mock him for having barely any posts, telling him to earn his way instead of begging. Admin/mod Shifty. steps in with an official warning against asking for points, and AcidViper chimes in claiming he'd already handed the guy 4 points anyway. A short, low-stakes thread that captures the everyday small-time bartering and gentle ribbing of the site's points-based economy.

Okay I need points very bad if any body can help me out will be very a preshiated or any loyal person out their plz give me points— sniperlock901

lmao look at your posts go get some posts then try not posting in this section— minitureman

Warned, don't ask for points please.— Shifty.

Kid Tries to Sell Steam Account for Real Cash in Points-Only Marketplace

Kid tries to sell his Steam account for actual dollars in a forum that only trades in fkn0wned points — chaos ensues

In October 2007, member ynaggo posted in The Market Place trying to sell a Steam account (with Counter-Strike: Anthology and a Garry's Mod/CS:S bundle) for real-world cash, asking the community to help him price it 'in points.' Regulars quickly clarified that the subforum only supported trading in fkn0wned points, not actual money, and poked fun at him for tacking 'with tax' onto his asking price when the games were cheaper on Steam itself. The thread is a small, good-natured ribbing session rather than a real sale, with a couple of established members (Arcade, Legit_Hacks, Uncensor3d) stepping in to explain forum trading norms, and site admin/supervisor Shifty. making a brief cameo appearance at the end.

lol with tax funny HINT: css cost $20 on steam hes selling it for $24— fizzer

this is fknpoints trading only not trading for $$$$— Uncensor3d

Im worried if i set to low ill get ripped if i set it to high people might hustle me into thinking its low :S:S— ynaggo

Beat Hazard - Suicidal Difficulty Youtube Videos

Two forum regulars try to survive Beat Hazard on suicidal difficulty and film the chaos for YouTube

A member named miekski announces a YouTube series with a friend (r1sex) playing the game Beat Hazard on suicidal difficulty at 200% intensity, inviting subs and song requests. The thread is short and lighthearted, with a few regulars chiming in with reactions, quoting a funny in-video moment, and requesting the song 'Through The Fire and Flames' for a future episode. It's a small, casual slice of the gaming board rather than any major event, just members hyping up a fellow member's content.

Oh fuck a duck (2:40)— [FkN] ap3x

Holy fuck this makes me want to buy the damn game!— [1K] mystical

We are playing suicidal, can't get any harder than that— miekski

Junnyerr's $800 Gaming PC Build

A 1000-Club regular begs for PC build help so he can run CSS 'on the highest settingsever' — gets roasted for his power supply choice

In this Tech Support thread from May 2010, longtime member Junnyerr asks for help assembling an $800 gaming PC capable of running Counter-Strike: Source at max settings and Assassin's Creed with a second monitor. He posts a rough Newegg parts list, admitting he's 'just a little boy' when it comes to hardware. Fellow members pikachu, PaynE, and StickyFingaz weigh in, with pikachu joking about being snubbed for MSN advice and StickyFingaz giving a real component critique (oversized PSU, weak GPU, suggesting a Radeon HD5770 and Phenom II X6 instead). A pretty mundane but charmingly earnest slice of early-2010s PC building culture on the forum.

I would wanna run source on highest settings while playing assains creed with my 2nd monitor— Junnyerr

Should've asked me on MSN . Now I distrust you.— pikachu

Okay dude . First the power supply is WAY TO MUCH.— StickyFingaz

AirRivals lag troubleshooting thread

An old-school forum member wrestles with 4fps in a 100-player dogfight and asks the tech board for a verdict

Longtime member slingblade asks whether his aging Pentium 4 rig (with a newly added Radeon 9550 card) could handle AirRivals' massive PvP battles without the brutal lag that made him uninstall it before. He carefully lays out his specs, drive space, and speedtest results, clearly not wanting to waste hours reinstalling for nothing. A couple of regulars, marz and Unbeliveable, chime in with modest, honest answers — basically 'you meet the minimum specs but don't expect miracles' given the scale of the in-game battles. It's a small, low-drama tech-support exchange, the kind of everyday help thread that filled out the site between the bigger scene happenings.

will i lag or will i not? how will i fare?— slingblade

well you meet the specs, but still doesnt mean you wont have slowdowns.— marz

He says thrs like 100+ people playing at the same time at one point.— Unbeliveable
