Post Your Pic: The Legendary Megathread

The classic 'put a face to the handle' megathread — 23 pages of webcam shots, roasting, and Xfire handles.

A long-running General Discussion staple where members posted photos of themselves, sparking friendly (and not-so-friendly) roasting, flirting, and off-topic banter typical of mid-2000s gaming forums. Started by founding admin c0ke in 2006 after the original thread was lost, it ran for over 20 pages and years, becoming one of the site's enduring social rituals. By late 2007 the thread had devolved into its usual mix of appearance-based jokes, one-liners, and members defending themselves against 'weird kid' and 'fat' accusations.

Yeah I went digging to find the old pic thread but I couldnt find it so Ive decided to make a new one and pin it.— c0ke

You got some dirty ass mirrors— waLLa

I'm not fat! I just havent grown into my body yet, you skinny bitch!— ZarbonPRO

FkN members, mods, staff etc... — the 'name as many as you remember' thread

Someone dared the forum to name every mod and legend off the top of their head — and the old names started flooding back.

A nostalgia-bait thread in General Discussion where Famousss challenges members to list as many FkN staff, mods, and notable members as they can recall from memory, framed as an informal popularity/memory test. Long-time members like waLLa, Shifty., sorbazz, mr.N0Nam3, Peski-Ruski, and Bucketface (a Staff Member from Dublin) chime in with reminiscing and rattled-off handle lists, including a callout wondering what happened to old-timer c0ke. The tone is casual and affectionate, more about collective memory of the community's cast of characters than any real competition.

how FnK staff members mods etc many can u remember and name off the top of your head....?— Famousss

c0ke was a known guy, where is he?— sorbazz

fuck, how cud i forget him— Famousss

Army vs School: The Forum Talks a 15-Year-Old Off the Enlistment Ledge

A 15-year-old asks a cheat forum whether to drop out and enlist — and the whole board actually shows up to talk him down.

In the Serious Discussion sub-forum, a young member named masoncoles opened up about a genuinely rough home life — an alcoholic mother, a brother with severe developmental issues, another brother who had died young — and floated the idea of leaving school early to join the army. What followed was a surprisingly earnest, multi-page back-and-forth: some members (vermiLLion, Agility, KZA, mutantcookie) firmly told him to stay in school and not romanticize the military, while an actual enlisted soldier, retsnomlc, pushed back with detailed first-hand info about enlistment requirements, MOS choices, bonuses, and the GI Bill. The thread is a good example of the forum's 'Serious Discussion' section living up to its name — jokes and trolling mostly held back — and it ends on a warm note with masoncoles deciding to stay in school after weighing everyone's input.

The army is going to get you killed and then you can have some sad crying family that mopes over you when you are dead— vermiLLion

Well i guess Ill play devils advocate, I dropped out of High school when I was 14 and got legally imancipated at 16 and enlisted.— retsnomlc

well now i love the comments i took all into consideration and well i GUESS ill stay in school cause thats what the majority said i should do— masoncoles

Ex Wife Is In My City... What Do?

Founder gets drunk-texts the forum for life advice on his ex-wife showing up in town — chaos ensues.

Site founder TuxifieD posted a slightly tipsy late-night thread from his phone asking the forum how to handle his ex-wife visiting his hometown while he was there for doctor visits. Replies ranged from earnest 'move on, don't meet up' advice to gleefully unhinged suggestions (keying cars, slashing tires, NIX's infamous penguin-related joke), with a side argument breaking out between SoCalGhost and bLunts/vermiLLion over whether the advice being given was reckless. Classic fkn0wned General Discussion energy: half genuine support, half trolling, zero filter.

Where else to get amazing personal advice besides fkn0wned lol.— TuxifieD

Tie her up then fuck teh daugher from her other marriage while she watches. Make sure to bring a penguin— NIX

Fuck her She did you dirty /Thread— bLunts

The "Official" Story of Spam

The mock-epic origin myth of Fkn0wned.com — TuxifieD, the Great Spammer Wars, and the legendary U.S.P.S.

A staff member named Industry posted a tongue-in-cheek mythologized history of the site, framing founder TuxifieD and moderator Shifty as heroes battling a fictional spammer faction dubbed 'U.S.P.S' (United Spammers Posting Shit). The tale humorously covers the founding of the Super Moderator and Admin ranks as defenses against spam floods, name-dropping Malware as a respected former Smod/Admin. The post ends with a practical checklist of questions members should ask themselves before starting a new thread, aimed at curbing low-effort posting. It's part joke, part community lore, part rules reminder — clearly intended as a sticky.

He felt like Hercules fighting the hydra!— Industry

United Spammers Posting Shit— Industry

if you stop typing and turn your speakers up very loud you can hear the distant screams of rage and clicking of the "post thread" button in the wind— Industry

TuxifieD's ex-wife thread

The site founder asks the forum for relationship advice on his newly-single ex-wife — chaos ensues

Site founder TuxifieD opens a General Discussion thread asking what to do now that his ex-wife is single again (and apparently was 'supposedly engaged'). Instead of real advice, regulars pile on with escalating dark-comedy one-liners, mock-serious suggestions, and roasting of the ex, treating it more as a bit than genuine relationship counseling. It's a snapshot of the forum's crude, joke-first culture and the casual way even the founder got clowned on by his own members.

Do you really have to ask tux, you punch her in the fucking mouth, yell "DON'T WANT" and avoid that bitch at all costs, or fuck her once and then leave her facedown in a gutter.— jChase

It would help if you explained this a bit more man. Also, post this in the beta section and it will get taken more seriously— vermiLLion

Again tux needing advice.— KZA

Aviation Pictures by d3r_bLuB

A member climbs into a Diamond Katana over the Alps and just... shares the view — turns out fkn0wned had a soft side.

In the Photography subforum, member d3r_bLuB (a real pilot flying with an Austrian flying club) posted a growing series of high-resolution aerial and airport photos taken over the Alps, Innsbruck, and Augsburg, along with cockpit shots and plane-spotting pics from his local airfield. The thread is a rare, wholesome detour from the site's usual gaming/warez fare, with regulars and even a banned member praising the photo quality and asking about the planes. It ended up pinned by a moderator ('the unnamed') as a standout community post.

Great dude, just keep posting, love it. Awesome. *PINNED*— the unnamed

Really amazing. Makes me want to learn to fly.— fridsade

Were you the pilot?— Lukeyyy

Jhurl's TestoPRO Sponsored Log

The time a cheat-scene gaming forum got sponsored by a testosterone-booster company and a founder logged his gains for everyone

Founder member jhurl started a daily log tracking his diet, workouts, and body stats while trialing 'TestoPRO', a testosterone-boosting supplement, as part of a sponsorship deal with supplement company Anabolic Innovations. The brand's rep 'TwinTowers' (Joe) and fellow rep 'donoh' showed up in the thread to promote the product, offer a member discount code, and cheer jhurl on, while regulars like TuxifieD, ap3x, ZoaQ, and Kimmi joked about the pill packaging and floated giving the AI reps a special forum rank. It's a snapshot of an early-2010s gaming/cheat forum branching out into bodybuilding-supplement sponsorship as a site monetization/partnership experiment.

this is turning into a beautiful partnership already— TwinTowers

make the shit look legit it looks like some kind of underground drug with all the black and blue shit— ZoaQ

Your testicles will not shrink lol, this is just giving you what your body wants.— TuxifieD

Oslo/Utøya attacks, 22 July 2011

Founder f0wh's news post turned personal when he revealed he knew victims at Utøya.

A World News thread started by forum founder f0wh reporting the July 22, 2011 Oslo bombing and Utøya youth camp shooting in Norway, linking news coverage as events unfolded. Members reacted with shock and disbelief at the death toll and age of victims, and the tone shifted when f0wh disclosed he personally knew several people at the camp, some missing and feared dead. Other members, including a Swedish VIP member, chimed in with regional news reactions and condolences, making the thread a small but genuine moment of real-world grief breaking into the community.

I knew eight people at that camp, one is even a childhood friend of mine. Two of them are missing, probably dead.— f0wh

What the fuck is wrong with people..— [FkN] PopTart

And the youngest ones of them were just 14 years old— zimbaa

The Night the Forum Showed Up: Tobbo's Cry for Help

A teenager's cry for help lands in the Debating forum — and the regulars actually show up for it.

In August 2007, a member called Tobbo opened a thread in the Debating subforum asking about painless ways to die, describing a messy breakup and family fallout. Staff moved it from general Off-Topic into Debating, and responses ranged from blunt dismissal to genuine, if roughly-worded, concern from moderators and members. The thread runs six pages, reflecting how a throwaway-looking title actually drew real engagement from the community rather than being ignored.

im feelin all emo whats the easyest n least painfull way to go?— Tobbo

Fkn0wned is not a suicide cult thanks very much take your extreme emo shit else where— Malware

just remember killing yourself is the pansies way out, =\— pwn911

30,000 Members and 700,000 Posts!!

The day fkn0wned hit 30K members and 700K posts — and everyone showed up to say 'long live fkn0wned'

A celebratory Site News thread marking fkn0wned forum's milestone of 30,000 members and 700,000 posts. Regulars, VIPs, and crew members dropped in to congratulate the site, share inside jokes about rep numbers and post-count goals, and generally bask in community pride. The thread doubles as a snapshot of forum culture at the time — signature shops, vouch threads, graphics crews, and the usual mix of banter between members with wildly different post counts (from a few hundred to 19,000+).

Long live fkn0wned— hippie

Holy shit it's a code! All heil the Fkn0wned!— DarkRood

[Fkn0wned.net Exclusive] DayZ StandAlone Beta Download

40 pages of 'ty' for a DayZ SA beta 'leak' that definitely wasn't a real beta

PopTart posted a hyped 'exclusive leak' offering a DayZ Standalone Beta download, gated behind forced registration and a reply-to-unlock link setup, complete with mega.co.nz mirrors and a fake torrent/keyword-stuffed description. The thread exploded to 990 posts over 40 pages, mostly one-word 'ty'/'nice!'/'thanks' replies from members racking up post counts, a classic bait-thread pattern typical of the forum's download and hype culture. It's a good snapshot of Fkn0wned's community dynamics: reply-to-download bait, VIP/1K Club badges, and members grinding activity in a gaming discussion thread.

OMFG YESSSSSSSSSS— Skambo

WHAT THAAA FUCKING HEEEL!LLLL! THANK YOU!— RedAlba

it will be orignal?— BizT

1 Million Posts - Minor Updates Thread

The night Fkn0wned hit a million posts and everyone piled in to take credit for the spam

A celebratory thread marking the forum crossing the 1,000,000 post milestone, sitting in the site's minor updates/general area. Long-time VIPs and staff-adjacent regulars (Fobia, Puree, DarkRood, Panda, BU12TRAS, Kudi) dropped in with quick congratulatory one-liners, birthday wishes, and inside jokes referencing the old '1k club.' The tone is casual and jokey rather than substantive, capturing the community's shoutbox-style banter and the pride members took in the site's post count as a badge of activity.

I am so happy that I can shit my self— Fobia

Revive that 1k club nigglets (; PANDA IS THE BEST!— BU12TRAS

GOOD JAB NIGGAS!— Kudi

Ragers Needed

The staff-recruitment thread where thec0re handed out 'Rager' badges to whoever could best brag about spamming CS:S servers with hacks

This is a March 2008 staff recruitment thread on thec0re.net where founder Shifty and the admin team fielded applications for Super Moderator, Crew, and 'Rager' positions — the latter being members tasked with publicly showing off cheats in-game and on YouTube to draw attention (and new users) to the site. Applicants pitched themselves with earnest, often comically over-the-top self-promotion, citing rage videos, defacing sites, activity levels, and loyalty, while staff shot down or approved candidates in real time. There's some minor drama over a previous staff purge ('You didn't get booted. I removed everyone'), a disgruntled ex-staffer venting about the application process being pointless, and a side plot involving a banned user posting from an alt account to apply for a spot. Classic late-2000s cheat-forum culture: cocky teenagers, Xfire handles, and rank badges as currency.

You didn't get booted. I removed everyone, even those who would be getting it back.— Shifty

if someone is gonna replace me i wouldn't want it to be some faggot 13 year old piece of shit waste of space.— 8-bit <3

All Staff recruited. 4 Ragers needed.— Shifty

Count up to 20,000!

One rule: don't double-post. 653 pages later, they were still counting.

A classic forum time-waster thread started by Kimmi in August 2010, with the simple goal of counting sequentially from 1 to 20,000 without double-posting. It ballooned into a marathon community effort spanning 653 pages and over 16,000 posts, becoming one of the site's longest-running low-stakes group activities. Regulars like TripleD, BONxFIRE, Kimmi, mystical, aXXo, and RandyCandy kept it alive through repetitive number-posting and the occasional joke aside.

I detect this thread is going to be filled up with VERY creative posts!— TripleD

+977 = 1000 What does i win ?????????— pimpinatatl

All Time Greatest FkN Quotes

Members dug up the forum's funniest, dumbest, and most cringe-worthy one-liners for posterity

A nostalgia thread in Off-Topic/General Discussion where members collected and re-posted memorable quotes from the FkN0wned community — shoutbox one-liners, IM logs, and forum zingers. The tone is casual and joke-heavy, heavy on early-2010s internet forum humor including some crude and offensive jokes typical of the era. A few posts also touch on site drama, like someone calling out another site for stealing an FkN image.

You can't even type properly, if you ever make a hack the menu will say. "oleis hcak"— mr.N0Nam3

Rofl Subzero/imm0rtal is paying me $50/week to stay on his site— c0ke

jChase's 'Hackers Manifesto'

An admin's stream-of-consciousness essay on why he cheats, dropped straight into General Discussion.

jChase, an FkN admin, posted a personal essay explaining his path from a bored teenager who found purpose in Counter-Strike to co-founding a hacking site (ehcrew.com) with a friend. He reflects on how being labeled a 'hacker' erased memory of his legit skill, and ends on the defiant line that he cheats simply 'because I can.' He notes he wrote it in minutes as a reaction to another thread and planned to revise it later; the second post shows a Smod reply beginning to roll in.

You ask me why I hack And I look at you and quietly, confidently, I reply Because I can.— jChase

Once we became hackers, people forgot about the days where we would spank them with a deagle and a m4— jChase

Fkn0wned.Com Hacking Montage - Best of the Best Hackers

The site's own highlight reel of its top hackers, kicked off by founding member c0ke

A pinned News + Updates thread from May 2007 announcing a community montage video showcasing top 'hackers' from the Fkn0wned.Com scene, essentially a highlight reel celebrating the site's most notable players/cheat users. Started by c0ke, a founding-era member (Member No. 1, Retired Staff), the thread ran to at least four pages, suggesting it became a long-running community showcase/discussion piece. It captures the site's CS 1.6-centric cheat community culture and its self-mythologizing 'best of' era.

This or That? — the 39-page pinned game

39 pages deep, still going: the never-ending 'this or that' thread that Nerf finally made official by pinning it.

A long-running Off-Topic game thread where members traded rapid-fire either/or questions, ranging from shoe brands to gross bodily-function trivia. By page 38 it had racked up enough activity that staff member Nerf pinned it, cementing its status as a community fixture. Regulars like dainbramaged and Paws kept the chain of questions rolling, with the tone staying light, silly, and a little gross-out.

Beacuse this thread is so active and so many pages i'm going to pin it.— Nerf

yay, my thread is pinned ;O— Paws

losing your legs nike or adidas?— dainbramaged

Stories/Experiences - Fkn0wned.Com

A note-passing prank war with a teacher named Anderson turns into an epic tale of forged messages, a dean showdown, and an accidental coming-out — kicking off a whole thread of school and work chaos.

A General Discussion thread where member Astrea kicked things off with a long, detailed story about a running feud with a high school English teacher, involving forged administrative notes, a messenger student, an interception gone wrong, a principal's office interrogation, and an unintended outing to their parents. The post clearly resonated, with other members (laptops, Peski-Ruski, Shifty., bobbafett07, Industry, mako_x23, and more) piling in with their own school and workplace stories, ranging from petty pranks to more personal anecdotes. The vibe is classic mid-2000s forum storytime: long-form personal confessions, joking replies, some ribbing over thread-derailing tangents, and a real sense of community swapping 'you won't believe this happened to me' tales.

COME BACK I DID NOT GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO LEAVE— Astrea (quoting teacher Anderson)

You should seriously write more of that shit haha....— Peski-Ruski

Lol, I have a teacher called Ms Anderson, shes a b...— HaSh

Holy Shit, Must Read This! — S3RK's Friendship Drama Confession

A teen soap opera of betrayal, a broken bromance, and a $700 formal-night limo snub — all laid bare in Serious Discussion.

VIP member S3RK opened up in the Serious Discussion subforum with a sprawling personal confessional about a love-triangle-ish falling out with his best friend over two girls, ending in social exile, a canceled school formal, and having to dig holes for a week to repay his mom $700 for a suit. The thread is a snapshot of the forum's 'real life drama' side rather than gaming or hacking content, with a handful of members offering sympathy, blunt commentary, and some ribbing. It's a good example of how these old gaming/cheat forums doubled as teenage venting grounds, with replies trickling in over months (December 2009 to March 2010).

Discuss? Kind Regards— S3RK

you're friends are fucking fags... but you did the right thing telling bro what you did.— Emrys

at least look on the bright side. you poped a cherry— Sleeping Forest

All 50 States Must Now Allow Same-Sex Marriage

The Fkn0wned crew gets 'serious' for once — SCOTUS marriage ruling sparks a surprisingly civil debate.

A rare 'Serious Discussion' thread from June 2015, started right after the US Supreme Court's nationwide same-sex marriage ruling. Member Usurp, who identified as gay, asked the forum for genuine reactions, and the thread drew a mix of supportive, indifferent, and dissenting replies from regulars and staff alike. Despite the site's usual cheat-scene/gaming focus, the discussion stayed relatively measured, with members like the forum owner TuxifieD voicing support and others like Stewart and InfectedKush pushing back or being dismissive.

How do you feel about this? I for one am extremely excited as I am gay as all hell and finally have the right I deserve to hold.— Usurp

It seems common sense is not so common.— TuxifieD

People need to wake up and realize how fast America is declining— Stewart

Fortune Teller: Ghost Stories on Serious Discussion

A CS cheat forum's 'serious discussion' board goes full ghost story with séances, dead relatives, and a table that chased someone down a hallway.

In the Serious Discussion sub-forum, member triplem opens with a family story about an aunt who's a fortune teller, recounting two eerily accurate predictions of death and disaster. The thread turns into a genuine, mostly civil back-and-forth about belief in psychics, fate, and the paranormal, with several members sharing their own family ghost stories and near-death predictions. It's a rare glimpse of sincere, off-topic vulnerability on a forum otherwise built around game cheats and warez, capped by a strict 'no cool story bro / no flaming' rule for the board.

NO COOL STORY BRO, ONE WORD ANSWERES, IMAGE ONLY REPLIES OR OTHER FAGGOTORY— triplem

the table rose up, and chased her down the hall. It took my grandfather and two uncles to tackle it down.— Jewjubes

We as humans were set out to control our futures. All actions are our own.— Slickz

a girl (slingblade's teenage heartbreak thread)

A 17-year-old's first breakup spirals into a locker-note ultimatum and a forum full of dating advice.

Long-time member slingblade opened up in Serious Discussion about the end of his first relationship — a long-distance-by-school-hallway romance that ended with a vague 'i just wanna be friends' note. Regretting a harsh locker note telling her to pretend he didn't exist, he agonized over how to get closure without breaking his own promise to cut contact. The thread is a classic slice of early-forum-era teen drama, with regulars like thejah, Emrys, majrbrawl and others weighing in with earnest, typo-riddled relationship advice over several months, ending with a bump from Sleeping Forest almost three months later.

i think i screwed myself here ( metaphorically )— slingblade

for the first time in maybe a decade, i have NO idea what, the, FUCK!!!- -that i am supposed to do— slingblade

17 years old, and 1 gf, really, 17:1 isnt the kinda ratio where i would agree with you— slingblade

Founding the Fkn0wned Rage Team

The internet challenged fkn0wned to a fight, so the founder proposed forming an official 'ragers group' — and half the 1K Club signed up on the spot.

Founder TuxifieD kicks off this thread declaring 'the internet wants to face us' and pitches forming a dedicated rager/spam squad. A parade of veteran members (CandleJack, xxChrisxx, Subgraf, Mystik, f0wh, Skippy, vermiLLion) pile in enthusiastically, volunteering as screamers, spammers, and Ventrilo/forum raiders, with talk of spreading into WoW-specific raging and cross-linking to a formal recruitment thread. It's a lighthearted, chaotic call-to-arms moment capturing the community's identifiably early-2010s troll/rager subculture rather than any real conflict.

The internet wants to face us... I think its time for a ragers group.. what do you guys think?— TuxifieD

Can i be the rager of the wow nerds?!— CandleJack

ahhh back in teh raging days th0sE were good times :D— Mystik

TuxifieD's "I am back" thread

The forum founder resurfaces after a quiet spell — and the whole crew shows up to welcome him home.

Founder TuxifieD posted a short return-to-the-forums update after being away for personal reasons, mentioning it doubled as a belated birthday post. The thread quickly turned into a flood of welcome-backs and birthday wishes from regulars and staff, laced with inside jokes, jabs about member 'deX-' having supposedly 'evolved,' and the usual crude, jokey banter typical of the community. It's a low-stakes, warm nostalgia thread rather than anything dramatic — mostly old members checking in and ribbing each other.

Wheres my raid crew nigger, and uhh, theres this note here, o it says FUCK YOU FAG— deX-

I already have your babies so I really don't have to say anything.— ap3x

im pwning poker again so if anyone is interested in getting pwnt just let me know :p— TuxifieD

The 'Now Playing' Thread

A decade-plus of fkn0wned members airing their music taste — and, within five replies, calling each other cunts over Tupac.

A classic long-running 'what are you listening to' thread in the Off-Topic > General Discussion board, kicked off by Supervisor Shifty. in June 2007 with a simple rule: post your song, don't spam. True to forum form, it took only a few replies before a lighthearted music-sharing thread devolved into a mini flame war between G4ngOfLA, ballistic, and exon over a Tupac post, with doobie5 stepping in to beg people not to turn it into 'another flame thread.' The rest of the visible page is filled with era-appropriate mid-2000s picks — Arctic Monkeys, Linkin Park, Disturbed, Wolfmother, Godsmack — a nice time capsule of what CS 1.6/Source kids were bumping back then.

Stick to the topic name, no spammage.— Shifty.

Tupac Shakur - ballistic is a cunt— G4ngOfLA

Great fucking song and let's not turn this into another flame thread we already have like 10 of them just for him— doobie5

Fkn0wned.com "Best of" — Community Awards Thread

Members hand out mock superlatives — and half of them are just excuses to throw shade at each other's staff.

A December 2007 General Discussion thread where a member ('Industry') started a fill-in-the-blank template for community superlatives — categories like Most 1337, Funniest, Stupidest, Best Manager, and Warez Master. Regulars and staff (including Co-Manager Shifty) chimed in with their own picks, and it quickly doubled as a low-key venue for ribbing mods and supervisors over how they ran things. Typical fkn0wned energy: half nostalgia-bait, half in-joke roasting of the site's own staff hierarchy.

technically tux isnt a manager ^^. also, the best supervisor is shifty following dcl, i say this because dcl is an annoying rule nazi but he does do what hes supposed to.— mr.N0Nam3

Can u ever stay on topic wow~— Afteryou

Warez Master: Hash— Industry

Shall PaperPistols Make His Triumphant Return?

A retired forum legend asks the old-timers if he should come back — and everyone loses it in nostalgia.

PaperPistols, a former member known for making and sharing content packs, posted asking whether he should return to fkn0wned after time away, noting he'd rather be recognized for more than just his old packs. A wave of veteran members and staff (including two Smods) responded enthusiastically, reminiscing about his past packs and urging him to come back. The thread is a short, warm nostalgia-driven exchange rather than any drama — just old community members welcoming back a familiar face.

YESS I MISS YOU <3 you were the jb god :D— ap3x

Even though I prefer picture threads, I liked your packs. Come back pl0x.— Kimmi

make me a sandwich... -then u can come back— NIX

The Never-Ending '3 Word Story' Thread

One word (well, three) at a time, this thread quietly grew to 30 pages of forum nonsense.

A long-running collaborative 'add three words to the story' game buried deep in General Discussion, by this snapshot already up to page 29-30 and post #500+. Regulars like LoRd Ragealot, wirmware, dainbramaged, minitureman, and Traitor kept the absurd never-ending sentence alive with silly, half-coherent contributions. It's a classic low-stakes time-killer thread that shows the community's casual, joke-around side rather than anything cheat or drama related.

a dumb question— wirmware

in the tight— dainbramaged

ran down his elephants new pair— Traitor

200,000 Members! (Fkn0wned Milestone Thread)

Fkn0wned hits 200k members, staff throw a party, and someone drops a free account right in the announcement post.

Staff member Skippy announced Fkn0wned had crossed 200,000 registered members, listing stats on posts, topics, and downloads, and promising a round of 200 giveaways plus a new banner to mark the occasion. The 200,000th member, x1Shot1Kill, got an exclusive forum tag as a reward. The thread is mostly celebratory replies from members and staff (including admin ZoaQ joking he was responsible), with a bit of banter about whether the count was really accurate due to deleted accounts, and someone else piling on with a bonus account giveaway.

We officially have 200,000 Fkn0wnians! That's right, we have already hit another milestone, 500k here we come!— Skippy

weve had 200k members for awhile now.....— CandleJack

All because of me :) Gratz fkn— ZoaQ

Good-Bye NIX

A veteran member calls it quits, and the whole crew shows up to say goodbye (and pretend it's not real)

A farewell thread posted in Site News marking the departure of a longtime member known as NIX. Regulars from the community — including crew and VIP members — dropped in with disbelief, jokes, and genuine well-wishes, reflecting the tight-knit, banter-heavy culture of the forum. The thread captures a small but characteristic moment of community life on Fkn0wned: a respected figure leaving and everyone reacting in real time.

Goodluck buddy, but it's not because yuo are retired and respected that you can't come back here anymore !— デイブ

Stop joking ffs. >:| It can't be true.— xVENdEr

Wow, what ? I really wasn't expecting this. Goodbye and good luck in whatever you'll do.— Deagle

What Are Your Guys' Future Plans

College dropouts, VIP crew, and one guy prepping for the alien takeover all weigh in on life after fkn0wned

A Serious Discussion thread where forum regulars traded genuine, low-key plans for their lives outside the site: repair businesses, teaching careers, finishing school, getting in shape, and even survivalist prepping. It's a rare glimpse of the real people behind the handles, mixing forum banter (a jab about VIP pricing) with sincere hopes like teaching, space research, and paying off loans. The vibe is warm and reflective, showing the community had a genuine human side beyond cheats and market trading.

Repairs are hard, not because it's difficult, it's because the customer's make it hard. Don't rip people off like FS and BB— uglydewey

I genuinely do not know who those companies are, and I would never rip people off my prices are amazeballs— mint

I'll be on preppers if they exist in the future.. prepping for the aliens take over or something lol..— A U X

A Reason You <3 Fkn0wned.com

One rule: drop one line on why you love this dump — 'string beans are teh shit' sets the bar

A simple chain-post thread started by staff member Industry, asking members to each add a numbered reason they loved Fkn0wned.com, building off his opening line about the community and entertainment value. It's a lighthearted, community-affirming thread typical of forum culture at the time, meant to rack up nostalgic and joke answers post by post. The page also preserves a curious artifact: the same thread appears mirrored under a 'Gametration.com' skin/chrome, with Industry's account there marked 'Banned' and re-titled 'Expect Us', hinting at some later site rebrand or drama around his account.

post one statement about fkn0wned.com that makes you love it so much.— Industry

string beans are teh shit— Industry

Fkn0wned Shop: TuxifieD's Fundraiser Auction

The founder auctioned off his own account stash just to keep the site's lights on.

In the Market Place section, forum founder TuxifieD opened an official 'shop' thread with a monthly fundraising goal to cover site hosting bills, kicking things off by offering up an old 6-digit Steam account bundled with a handful of classic Half-Life-era games. He invited members to make offers or donate rare items (old file-host accounts, low-digit Steam accounts, etc.) via PM. It's a small, quiet thread — one lone reply wishing him luck — but it captures the scrappy, keep-the-lights-on spirit of running a mid-sized gaming/cheat forum on member goodwill.

Feb goal: $200 Earned so far: $0— TuxifieD

Hmm, Nice Good luck :p— JUSTiiNCREDiiBLE

A Quiet Check-In: Familiar Faces, Emptier Forum

An old member pops back in just to say hi, and the forum's own decline becomes the real topic.

A returning member named nullvoid drops a low-key 'hey, haven't been around' post after a long absence, mostly just checking on the state of the forum. A handful of members, including staff, reply with friendly greetings, but the thread quietly doubles as evidence of the community thinning out, with a mod openly admitting they need more active members. It's a small, unremarkable thread on its face, but it captures that late-era forum feeling of familiar faces trickling back to find the place emptier than they left it.

been a long time since ive visited the computer lol.. been workin alot.. and just wanted to see how the forum is doing.. hi— nullvoid

Hey man, glad to see you here. We need more active members.— Panda

Recruit fkn0wned Ladies (2008 Promo Stunt)

The founder's big plan to grow the site's female membership: forehead marker stunts, free swag, and a promo video.

A December 2008 announcement thread started by site founder TuxifieD proposing a lighthearted recruitment gimmick: get women to write 'fkn0wned' on their foreheads, post proof, and receive free fkn0wned-branded shirts/clothing as an incentive to join. A promo photo and an upcoming YouTube video were teased to help spread the word. Longtime super moderator Kimmi replied quickly, reflecting how active and tight-knit the site's staff presence was at the time. It's a snapshot of the site's early, informal promo culture and its casual attitude toward site growth stunts.

Get girls to write fkn0wned on their foreheads and join!— TuxifieD

We need more fkn ladies, I am thinking of giving out free fkn0wned shirts and clothing to ladies who join— TuxifieD

The Hot Girl Sign Competition

Founder TuxifieD launches a 'get a girl to hold our sign' contest with lifetime VIP as the prize — chaos ensues.

An announcement thread from site founder TuxifieD launching a member photo contest: get a woman to pose holding a sign with the site's slogan, with the top two photos winning lifetime VIP membership (and its associated perks). The rules were blunt and juvenile, reflecting the site's early-2010s edgy forum culture, and required at least 10 entries with visible faces. Early replies are jokey and dismissive, with one member quipping about asking his mom before backing out.

You must get a hot girl to hold a sign that says "Fkn0wned.com We got the Bitchez"— TuxifieD

I'm gonna go see if my mom is up for this. *edit* she's not. D:— Jawn

Fkn0wned is dead... YEAH RIGHT! (400,000 Posts)

The day fkn0wned hit 400K posts and told the 'it's dead' rumor-mongers to sit down

A News and Announcements thread from founder c0ke celebrating the forum crossing 400,000 posts, posted partly as a rebuttal to rumors that fkn0wned was dying out. Members flooded in with congrats, but the thread also caught a bit of real drama when a member publicly announced he was jumping ship to a rival site, Crazy-Coderz, over its team-joining features and bigger member count. Overall a snapshot of forum pride mixed with the low-level rivalry between cheat/gaming communities of the era.

There have been a lot of rumours floating around that fkn0wned is "dead". I find these rumours hard to believe especially after checking our daily post counts!— c0ke

im not supporting fkn0wned anymore im supporting crazy-coderz sry guys cause here i cant join in a team but in crazy-coder i can— dark_skillz

10,000 Members Milestone Thread

The day Fkn0wned hit five figures — and everyone knew 50k was next.

A short celebratory announcement thread from Fkn0wned's early days, marking the community reaching 10,000 members. Admin [FkN] tKeR praised the site's activity and posting culture, setting sights on the next milestone of 50,000. Member WicK3d chimed in with hyped, all-caps enthusiasm, half-joking about making a post for every 1000-member milestone going forward.

I just hope everyone can continue to be active and POST. Posting is what keep communities up.— [FkN] tKeR

FUCK YA!~ UH HUH! I TOLD U IT WOULD BE SOON!— WicK3d

100,000 Members

The night Fkn0wned crossed six figures in members — a small, proud milestone post from a staffer.

A short celebratory thread started by staff member HaSh (aka DrPookie) in November 2007, announcing that Fkn0wned.com had surpassed 100,000 registered members. It's a brief, low-key milestone post rather than a big event thread, but it captures a snapshot of the site at what was clearly a high point in its membership growth.

Grats, we now have over 100,000+ members!— HaSh

100,000 Posts! (2007 Milestone Thread)

The day fkn0wned hit six figures in posts — and the founder himself popped in to say so.

A short celebratory thread marking the forum crossing the 100,000-post milestone, posted by c0ke, a founding/early member (Member No. 1) holding retired staff rank. It's a simple site-news announcement typical of forum culture at the time — a community pat-on-the-back moment rather than any real discussion. The thread ran at least two pages, suggesting members piled in with congratulations and nostalgia of their own.

We made it guys!— c0ke

Post Your Desktop

Ten-plus pages of Fkn0wned regulars showing off their XP themes, dual monitors, and questionable file organization.

A long-running, chill General Discussion staple where members posted screenshots of their desktops — wallpapers, custom XP/Vista themes, icon habits, and dual-monitor setups. It ran for months (mid-2007 into 2008) and stretched across 10-12 forum pages, functioning as a low-stakes hangout thread full of banter, roasting each other's clutter, and mild off-topic jokes (including a running bit about hidden folders of 'pr0n'). Several staff and long-time members (Shifty, Bucketface, Don Ruski/Peski-Ruski, c0ke, AKULA, Jinxi) chimed in, giving it a communal, regulars-only vibe typical of the site's Off-Topic section.

Omg all you nubs have icons on your desktops...— c0ke

Lol, all the pr0n is hidden in the Fkn0wned.com forums— Janza

I hate you.— Don Ruski

The TeamSpeak Admin Hax Thread

A guy whose clan's TeamSpeak got owned wanted revenge hax — six months later someone grave-dug it into legend.

A member ('bumbumlongtime') asked for a way to get unkickable admin powers on TeamSpeak after a rival clan hacked their TS server and taunted them in a right-click error box. Regulars debated whether such a thing existed, with one member insisting brute-forcing was the only real method and mocking the idea of 'l33t teamspeak hax', while another posted a brute-force tool that was quickly called out as useless against current TeamSpeak versions. The thread went quiet for months until it got revived in January 2008, prompting a mod to close it with an exasperated one-liner and a fellow member praising the necro as 'epic'.

the ONLY way to get admin is to brute force it, stop asking if you can get 't3h l33t t34msp34k h4x' cos there arent any you will get— ballistic

Absolutely pointless if it wont work on the current version because 99.9% of admins keep thier servers up to date lol..— hEndr!x

holy shit.— mr.N0Nam3

Fkn0wned Official Playlist!

The forum tries to crowdsource the ultimate gaming pump-up mixtape — Pendulum vs. Machine Head vs. Dragonforce, rapidshare links included.

Started by founding member c0ke in September 2007, this thread invited members to submit one favorite hype-up song each, with plans to poll the submissions and bundle the top 15 into an official 'Fkn0wned.Com Gaming Playlist' hosted on the server. It ran for weeks, pulling in a wide mix of metal, drum and bass, nu-metal, and rap tracks (Machine Head, Rage Against the Machine, Pendulum, Dragonforce, Slipknot, Kanye West, and more), with people uploading songs via rapidshare. The vote never seems to have fully materialized on schedule, and a few members later poked fun at the promised deadline slipping — a small, good-natured, very of-its-era community moment.

The idea of the Fkn0wned.Com playlist is to get everyone to post their favourite song for gaming to.— c0ke

Any genre as long as it pumps you up and gets you in the mood for ownage!— c0ke

Wasn't the vote for this suppost to be Septemb...— Sideways

HAPPY NEW YEAR FkN! (Dec 31, 2007)

The whole crew crawls in one last time before midnight to yell Happy New Year at each other across time zones.

A short, warm New Year's Eve thread from the close of 2007, started by longtime member Famousss wishing the community well before going offline. A string of regulars piled in with quick well-wishes, jokes, and countdown chatter as midnight rolled through different countries, giving the thread a loose, cheerful, low-stakes vibe typical of a late-night off-topic post. Nothing dramatic happened here — just a snapshot of the community being sociable outside of the usual cheat/tech talk.

i hope 2007 has been great for u and i hope 2008 is one to remeber for the good times.. HAPPY YEAR EVERYONE!!!— Famousss

Lets have a Fkn orgy. Happy New year all X)— Exodus

ITS ALREADY NEW YEAR IN SINGAPORE~~!! HAPP...— haha.1

Launch of the VOTM (Video Of The Month) Competition

Fkn0wned's admins roll out a monthly contest for the best CS/CSS hacking montage — rules, prizes, and hype incoming.

Head Admin [FkN] Bisdale announces a new site competition called Video Of The Month, inviting members to upload Counter-Strike or Counter-Strike: Source gameplay videos to YouTube for a chance at recognition. The rules laid out cover video length, watermarking with the site name, using online servers instead of bots, and rewarding creativity over blatant cheating displays. Crew member [FkN] Shifty responds positively, suggesting a recording software recommendation be included for members who lack one, and offers to submit an entry himself.

Fkn0wned.Com now has a new competition. It's called Video Of The Month.— [FkN] Bisdale

You will be rewarded for originality not just blatant hacking.— [FkN] Bisdale

Really good idea man, Maybe we can put a link somewher in there to a video recorder ware e.g fraps pro.— [FkN] Shifty

A girl

Nagger30 needs relationship advice, gets a masterclass in mixed signals from the whole forum

A member named Nagger30 posted in Serious Discussion asking for advice about a girl who had a boyfriend but kept texting, calling, and eventually admitting she dreamed about him. The thread evolved in real time over about five weeks as the girl broke up with her boyfriend, Nagger30 asked her out anyway, and the community weighed in with a mix of genuine advice and joking cynicism. Regulars from various rank groups (VIP, 500 Club, Security Crew, Smod) chimed in with warnings about rebound relationships and emotionally unstable exes, alongside some classic early-2010s forum humor. It's a good snapshot of the 'Serious Discussion' subforum's actual tone despite its strict all-caps rule against trolling and off-topic posts.

I just don't know what the bitch wants from me. Please Explain Many Thanks!— Nagger30

Go eat somewhere else.— inSpired

If she is ugly forget her slap her, and peace it bro.— SNK

What's Your Religious Stance?

Cheat-scene forum kids get surprisingly deep about God, karma, and the Catholic Church.

A Serious Discussion thread from June 2011 where Fkn0wned members laid out their personal beliefs on religion, ranging from devout Orthodox and Catholic faith to agnosticism and outright disbelief. The tone stayed civil and thoughtful for a gaming/cheat forum, with admins, VIPs, and regular members alike opening up about upbringing, church experiences, and philosophical takes on karma and organized religion. It's a nice snapshot of the community's softer, more reflective side outside the usual cheats-and-drama chatter.

I respect it, but it's still stupid, in my opinion. I despise the Catholic Church though, it has been full of scumbags for the past 2000 years.— painkille137

no religions at all makes sense to me and I've thought this way since I was 6 despite being raised christian.— f0wh

Agnostic atheist. I respect everyones view on religion.— Ruddified

Dos Program Wanted (aka the classic DOS vs DoS mixup)

New guy asks for a 'dos program' for CSS, gets told to open cmd.exe, chaos ensues

A newer member calls out for a 'dos program' related to Counter-Strike: Source, prompting a member to sarcastically walk him through opening Command Prompt. When he clarifies he actually meant a Denial-of-Service tool, the thread turns into classic forum ribbing — vets telling him to search the board and contribute before requesting, someone suggesting he just Google well-known tools, and a final jab calling him a 'skiddie' for not specifying in the first place. It's a short, locked thread that's less about the request and more a snapshot of the board's culture: low patience for lazy asks, heavy in-group slang, and a pecking order where new members get mocked for not doing their homework.

Yeah sure, just click Start then press run. A dialogue will come up. Type the following using your keyboard: C M D There's your dos, man!— S3RK

1. Search the board, there's a few DOS tools already on here. 2. Contribute to the board. 3. Don't request until you've contributed, or you'll just get trolled.— lam3r

lawl specify what you mean in the first place fkin skiddie.— lulraep
