[Biete] OSH private (CS:S)
New guy offers a 'private' CS:S cheat for a stolen Steam account — gets called out and banned before the week's out
In this German-language 'Deutsche Hacks' thread from October 2007, a brand-new member calling himself Sekte advertises a supposedly private, undetected cheat build for Counter-Strike: Source, listing a long feature set, and asks people to trade an unbanned CS:S Steam account for it. The thread wanders into a side-argument about a shady 'p7 VIP' account service rumored to carry trojans, before regular KN4CK3r calls Sekte a lowlife for reselling something he claims was a gift from a friend. Longtime member rnie then points out that Sekte appears to be an alt account of a previously known user, and staff moderator DCLXVI closes the loop by suspending the account indefinitely pending a proper ban.
diese version ist zu 100prozent privat und undetected!— Sekte
jetzt biste ganz der tolle ne? Private Hacks für lau verscherbeln...Lowbird— KN4CK3r
made a new account Sekte..?— rnie
Christ Back? The Mysterious Un-Ban
A banned member's account mysteriously un-bans itself, and a staffer accidentally spills the reason in the shoutbox.
SubZero notices that a user named Christ, who supposedly 'betrayed FkN,' has had his account status quietly reverted to un-banned, and calls for a ban if it was a glitch. A pasted shoutbox log shows crew member Janza admitting they needed Christ back as a coder, though Janza then walks it back claiming no proof. The thread devolves into a running joke about people misreading 'Christ' as 'Jesus,' with a few members riffing on religion before it fizzles into general chatter.
we needed a coder— [FkN]Janza
lol i looked at topic and thought you meant jesus— Cud
Haha, jesus was never here so he will never be back— chooken
Dont tell me people actually fall for this?!?!
A guy tried to run a Steam 'free games' phish on the shoutbox using a link literally named fhish.php — and got dragged for it in real time
Spaz posted a shoutbox log catching someone posing as 'HighStar's English cousin' trying to phish free Steam games via a sketchy login link, only to get instantly clocked by uK.|-baMBi- for the amateurish setup (including the giveaway filename 'fhish.php'). The thread devolved into members laughing at the scammer's incompetence, mocking his excuses, and jokingly plotting to spam his phishing link with garbage/bots to ruin it. General consensus: only a very young or very dumb kid would fall for something this obvious.
at least cloak your link please... its sad to see something like this— uK.|-baMBi-
dont call ur landing page fhish.php ok? makes it way to easy— uK.|-baMBi-
He refuses to admit it and calls me a hacker for not knowing his mail... i lol'd whilst spamming it with crap (bots ftw)— Spaz
PPL Keep Getting Banned
A freshly banned member torches the site on his way out, threatening to hire a hacker and predicting fkn0wned's death.
A brand-new user, SaltyNuts, posted a rage-quit rant after apparently getting banned, cursing out the admins, claiming the site would 'die' and rival community 'The Core' would rise, and threatening to hire a hacker for revenge. The thread reads as a classic forum meltdown/troll post rather than a real security incident. Regular members RecoileZ and veteran uploader KZA responded, with RecoileZ mocking the OP outright.
Will hire the best hacker to hack your fkn site for sure you wont enjoy it— SaltyNuts
The Core Forever bitches and the staff are lil kids with no life— SaltyNuts
i loled u nigger— RecoileZ
Any1 with Ips they want hacked?
hEndr!x offers free NetBios "practice hacking" on any IP you supply — the replies did not go well for him
A 2007 General Discussion thread where user hEndr!x, self-admittedly still learning to "NetBios," invites other members to submit IP addresses they want attacked so he can practice. The thread quickly turns into a pile-on of jokes, troll IPs (including a loopback address as a gag), and skepticism about whether he can actually pull any of it off. It's a classic low-effort script-kiddie brag thread that the regulars mostly clowned on rather than took seriously.
Basically tell me an ip who it is and why you want them hacked. I'll try, but I don't promise any results because I am trying to learn to NetBios!— hEndr!x

13 years old wasnt good enough for tux.
A forum 'trap' thread, a sketchy poll about downloading, and half the board arguing about whether that's even a joke you're allowed to make.
A November 2009 General Discussion thread on Fkn0wned.com started as a prank/'trap' set up by founder TuxifieD and member -Alex, baiting members over some linked images (described as old photos from '6th grade'), then spiraling into a crude community poll asking who 'downloaded'. The thread devolves into typical off-topic forum banter — jokes about jail time, relationships, and a genuinely heated aside from member f0wh pushing back on the joke's implications. It's a snapshot of the forum's dark, edgy inside-joke humor culture and its casual moderation norms, with regulars like Kimmi, vermiLLion, and ZoaQ weighing in with the community's usual snark.
i told u all it was a trap + how many downloaded? 0— [Founder]TuxifieD

Hacked Facebook Logs (A-Nihilist vs. Kasumi)
A hijacker mocks a hospitalized victim's crying best friend live in chat — the forum found it hilarious.
A-Nihilist posted a chat log bragging about (or documenting) taking over someone's Facebook, in which the victim's friend 'Kasumi' pleads with the hacker 'Alexander' to give the account back, revealing the victim had just left the hospital. The exchange turns callous and homophobic fast, with the hacker mocking the situation instead of showing remorse. Rather than condemning it, most repliers in General Discussion treated the log as comedy gold, quoting the cruelest lines approvingly, though a couple of members (OldSchool) pushed back saying it went too far. Classic era-appropriate cheat-scene callousness: account theft treated as lulz content rather than as a real harm.
why are u such a mean person— Kasumi
That's the problem. If he wasn't a fag he wouln't have a Tumor— Alexander/A-Nihilist
I say you went over the line. I would just leave the account now...— OldSchool
Facebook Real Likes Service — 1k Likes in 24h
The Facebook likes seller who took the money and vanished — a classic Market Place scam story.
A Services board listing from late 2014 where user leonnnwtfcs advertised paid Facebook page/post likes packages, with pricing tiers, delivery times, and a 'method' upsell for those willing to pay more and learn it via TeamViewer. A few members asked clarifying questions and expressed interest over the following months, but by May 2015 a buyer (Coxie) returned to warn others the seller had ripped him off and disappeared, turning the thread into a cautionary tale typical of unregulated forum marketplaces.
Don't bother guys he ripped me off, took my money and run— Coxie
I sell facebook real likes with your preferences, age,m/f,country and more and more.— leonnnwtfcs

Cruel As Hell - Christmas Thread Shutdown
A 'Christmas gift' link got a mod so furious he wished death on the poster before the thread was nuked.
Keke10000 posted something billed as 'a real Christmas gift' titled Cruel As Hell in the Links/Humor section, which turned out to be offensive enough that staff member Nerf erupted with a genuinely brutal personal attack referencing his own community service experience abroad. Keke10000 backed down and apologized almost immediately, but the damage was done and the thread was closed by Exodus without him even bothering to look at the original content. A short but sharp example of the forum's volatile off-topic humor section and its zero-tolerance moderation when things went too far.
Why dont you stop posting stupid shit like this you fucking faggot. I hope you become homeless and die in a fucking fire— Nerf
Wow, Wow. Sorry, sorry. If you take offense to it ill take it off.— Keke10000
I have no idea what you posted. But please don't post it again, given the negative responses it must've been something bad. -Closed.— Exodus
The Mystery Ban Wave of 2008
A wave of mystery bans hits the forum, and nobody — not even the mods — is talking.
A member named kippa noticed a bunch of apparently active, contributing members getting banned with no public explanation and asked the community (and admins) why. Responses ranged from dismissive ('care less, it's internal') to speculative theories involving private admin-forum discussions, Xfire drama, or a defunct pay-for-membership scheme. No admin ever stepped in to clarify, and the thread mostly settled into a 'mind your business, it's not for you to know' consensus, with kippa left unsatisfied.
they stole my cupcake. but seriusly better not kno— DamnInternets
no admin will explain that.... don't stick ur nose in shit u shouldn't know...— washingtonpayne
i've heard that it's becuse u had to pay to get member on fkn0wned but they removed that— Zeton
[Scammer] zEpp — Market Place scammer report
The $2 Steam account hustle finally caught up with zEpp, and the whole board piled on.
Mystery121 opened a scammer report against zEpp, alleging he paid for 7 game accounts (MW2, L4D2, CSS) but only received 5 before zEpp blocked him and dismissed the complaint over MSN as just being 'shitlisted.' zEpp defended himself by pointing to his history of giving away and selling huge volumes of cheap Steam accounts, arguing a few complaints were inevitable at that scale. The thread splits the community: some members (aimshot120) defend zEpp as a prolific, mostly reliable seller, while others (hoOkz, Sleeping Forest, NIX, misterfopje, TuxifieD) call for a ban, and longtime member SnEaKyJoKER chimes in with his own older grievance about a prior deal gone bad with zEpp.
not scamming you are just shitlisted— zEpp
it's a business technique you do what it takes to make a sale i'm in it to make extra money not to be bothered— zEpp
u beg like a dog saying plz dont retrieved it...— SnEaKyJoKER
bradboo Scammer Callout: $80 RuneScape Account That Never Existed
$80 RuneScape account that never existed — cue a Canadian death threat and a scammer banlist entry
Member cixxa accused user bradboo of selling him a fake level 120 RuneScape account for $80, posting screenshots as proof and demanding a ban (plus some over-the-top rage about slitting throats). Other members chimed in with sympathy, warnings about always using a middle-man for market trades, and one poster claiming bradboo had also tried and failed to scam them. A staff smod (SNK) closed the thread and confirmed bradboo was added to the banlist, while founder TuxifieD pushed back on the idea that the site itself was responsible for a member-to-member scam.
he scammed me for 80$ and he just went busy on msn and wont reply to my damn messages. he is a scamming little bitch— cixxa
Closed; added to Banlist. By the way he only had 149 posts.— SNK
So when you say "Just thought fkn0wned was legit" how are we not legit? We didnt sell you shit. Think before you talk.— TuxifieD
The 'Hack This Site For Me' WoW Forum Grudge Thread
A guy asks the whole forum to take down a WoW site that hurt his feelings — chaos, mild mockery, and a busted tutorial ensue.
A member going by {}JuNNeZ{} asks the Gametration community to help destroy a WoW forum (wowtopia.net) that had apparently insulted him, framing it as revenge over a personal grudge involving a GM position and someone named Chrisildor. Other members respond with a mix of casual technical pointers, sarcasm, and gentle mockery, questioning his motives and needling him about not being able to 'handle' forum politics. JuNNeZ later admits the suggested method didn't even work, undercutting the whole request. It's a small, petty slice of mid-2000s forum rage culture — low stakes, high snark.
This site was evil mean and insulted me, i would love if you guess would fuck up the site and make it so it never return.— {}JuNNeZ{}
In other words, you can't handle the jandal and don't deserve to be there?— NicCuh
I can handle it and it seems like the tutorial didn't work...— {}JuNNeZ{}
Other Raging — the Fkn0wned rant dump
MySpace beef, IP-hunting threats, and 'hack this site' pleas — the internet's pettiest grudges, archived forever.
This is the 'Other Raging' subforum of Fkn0wned.Com's Raging and Advertising section, a catch-all where members vented about rival websites, MySpace pages, IRC channels, and each other circa late 2007. Threads range from requests to 'rage' on specific sites and people, to petty MySpace call-outs, Ventrilo drama, scam call-outs, and the occasional 'best rage of all time' bragging thread. The tone is classic mid-2000s forum chaos — juvenile, combative, and unmoderated in spirit even though staff clearly had their hands full pinning rules and FAQs. The page also carries the site's full forum index in its footer, showing Fkn0wned's broader identity as a Counter-Strike cheat/cracking community with trading, GFX, and 'Red Light District' warez sections attached.
COULD THIS BE THE BEST RAGE OF ALL TIME?— CSROCKS
Scam me = your pc dies.— ho0k-
Luca gets mad!— [Staff] Nerf
"I found out how to REALLY make autoexec.cfg work!!"
A member proudly 'discovers' the oldest trick in the CS:S scripting book — and gets absolutely dragged for it.
New member 'disconerd' posted excitedly claiming to have personally figured out the (extremely basic, widely known) method for renaming a text file into an autoexec.cfg for CS:S scripting, insisting it was his own original discovery. Veteran scripters and regulars immediately piled on, pointing out this was common knowledge that had been posted many times before, with several members mocking the poster's age and cluelessness. The thread is a classic small-forum pile-on/roast rather than any real scripting breakthrough.
its more fun to make ppl work hard to get autoexec;p— disconerd
Ok anyone who has been into scripting for 20 + minutes basically has known this.— pherball
dude .. how old are u ?? only people below 10 years are that dumb ..— andr3zit0
6-Digit Steam Account Sale Sparks Scam Accusations
Guy sells a clean 6-digit Steam account with DayZ, CS:GO and Arma III — then gets accused of running a friend-retrieval scam mid-sale
VIP member FlareBunny listed a 6-digit Steam account (108 games, no VAC bans, DayZ/CS:GO/Arma III included) in the Top Sellers District marketplace. A user named c0nspiracy posted warnings not to buy from him, alleging accounts got reclaimed by the seller's friends after purchase, but those posts were removed by moderators for rule violations. Another member, Mit, echoed the scam concern while G-Eazy vouched for FlareBunny after buying the account himself, calling the transaction smooth. Forum owner TuxifieD stepped in to shut down the dispute and vouch for the seller, and the thread was closed by staff once the sale completed.
DO NOT BUY ACCOUNTS FROM THIS GUY, most accounts are his friends and they will retrieve it— Mit
Keep it on topic boys. Take your dispute issues else where... as far as I'm concerned op is g2g— TuxifieD
ah it's pathogen, ignore that retard; hes just butthurt of his own stupidity— FlareBunny
What Do You Guys Think? - Plan On Building It
A budget PC build thread that ends in a full-on GPU-brand meltdown.
Member Jack Daniels posted a Newegg parts list for a sub-$800 gaming PC and asked the board for feedback, then iterated through several revisions over two weeks chasing a better price-to-performance build. Regulars like Jack Bauer, HaSh, minitureman, and DJSketch chimed in with friendly tweaks on GPU, RAM, and OS (with a nod to the site's warez section for a 'free' operating system). It stays chill until c0rpsegrinder repeatedly pushes Jack Daniels to ditch his 8600GT for a pricier card, sparking an all-caps rage-quit reply about being lectured in his own thread.
budget pc awayyyyyyyyyy!!!!!1!!!!— Jack Daniels
im fuckin raged because you come into my thread telling me garbage and acting lik your smarter than me. fuck off man— Jack Daniels
dude, i know more abotu gfx cards then you.— c0rpsegrinder
Botoxx's User Review Thread
A glowing seller review turns sour when a buyer's account gets suspiciously 'recovered' days later.
This was a Market Place vendor-feedback thread for the user Botoxx, a long-time member (joined Jan 2007, 3000-post 'Club' rank) selling CSS-related accounts/hacks. Early replies from xTimmehx and EAGER were glowing, praising Botoxx as fast, cheap, and easy to deal with. The tone flips when EAGER returns to report their purchased account was recovered shortly after buying, hinting at a shady MSN exchange about PayPal 'gifts' being non-disputable, and retracts their positive feedback pending investigation — a small but telling flash of the trust issues baked into these unregulated cheat-market deals.
BotoX is a Great Guy to deal with. Thanks heaps for the accounts :)— xTimmehx
Great seller. Fast, smooth and best of all, cheap! Will be buying again soon.— EAGER
Account was recovered a day or two after buying... Happens conveniently after he asked whether 'gifts are the ones that cant be disputed, right?' on MSN.— EAGER
ShInobix User Review — Impersonation & MW2 Key Scam Called Out
Some guy started masquerading as 'Tux' and scamming people out of MW2 keys and cash — the thread ends in an instant ban.
A Market Place user review thread targeting the seller/user 'ShInobix', who was accused of impersonating a well-known member ('Tux') using lookalike Hotmail addresses and screenshots as proof. Multiple members chimed in claiming they never received promised MW2 keys or were scammed out of money (one member reporting a $50 loss). The community quickly rallied for a ban, and staff closed the case fast with a public, no-nonsense mod smackdown.
A scammer and impersonating friend under the email: [email protected] and [email protected]— Unfeared
Fooking prick scammed 50 Dollers off me. Ban plx!— Seramal

Steam Accounts For Sale!!!!! (2007)
A noob hawks a stack of "clean VAC2" Steam accounts — and the forum immediately clocks the screenshot's giveaway file name
A brand-new member with only two posts listed a batch of Steam accounts for sale, priced individually or as a bundle, complete with screenshots as proof. Regulars haggled over prices (including offers in forum points) before staff and longtime posters questioned whether a low-post-count member should even be allowed to trade in that section. The thread eventually turned into an accusation of account theft after someone spotted a suspicious 'steamaccounts.txt' file visible in one of the seller's screenshots, a small but telling piece of forum detective work typical of the era's trading boards.
Now look at the name of that notepad toolbar. What does it say. Steamaccounts.txt Need I say more?— -Darkness-
im pretty sure these accounts are scammed man no one needs heaps of accounts unless syblings etc..— mark660
He doesnt have 100 posts, these accounts cant be sold...— Legit_Hacks
1k Club Access - Points Shop Debate
TuxifieD puts '1k Club' access up for points... and the forum immediately does the math on why it's a scam
Site owner TuxifieD opens a thread offering '1k Club' access for 1,100 forum points, part of Fkn0wned's points/rewards economy in the Market Place trading section. The thread quickly turns into a running argument, led by TheLoneMan, over whether the price makes any sense at all, since earning enough points to buy it would already require enough posts to qualify for the 1k Club for free. Several members pile on with complaints about point totals disappearing or fluctuating (5 points per post one night, 1 the next), while others tell the complainers to stop whining since it's all free perks anyway. A minor side-scuffle breaks out when minitureman tries to clown TheLoneMan with a garbled economics analogy and gets thoroughly, dryly dismantled in return.
It is absolutely pointless because anybody who has enough points to buy this reward will already be in the 1k club, no matter what.— TheLoneMan
Am I dumb? K. 1-800-HOOKED-ON-PHONICS— TheLoneMan
stop yalls bitching. if you dont want to use your points toward 1k than use them toward other things.— rhion82
"My Friend" Hijacked Some Steam Accounts... Asking For A Friend
"My friend" hijacked some Steam accounts and now wants to know if the cops are coming — thread devolves into people asking to be given the stolen accounts.
A November 2007 thread in the Counter-Strike Rages subforum where a member asks, on behalf of a suspiciously anonymous 'friend', whether pretending to be a Steam admin to phish and hijack accounts could lead to police involvement. Other members mock the thin 'friend' excuse and reference the poster's earlier paranoid thread about server admins tracking his IP. A staff member chimes in with an actual answer distinguishing account scamming from phishing-hosting, while the thread ends with users half-jokingly asking to be handed the stolen accounts.
LOL!!!! This time it was your friend? In your other thread your asking if a server admin can find out where you live from your IP LMAO! Your so worried about going to prison over CS.— Sideways
You can not get arrested from scamming steam accounts. You can get arrested for using a hosting site to phish accounts though.— Arcade
Just give me the accounts, your friends in deep shit! pm me user/ pass— chrisofwow
First pub rage.. (GoronCity)
A pub-rage video kicks off a classic myg0t vs. Fkn0wned pissing match
A member named GoronCity posted a rage video from a Counter-Strike public server, and the thread quickly turned into a mix of praise from regulars and a running feud with rival forum myg0t. Users like rnie and Legit_Hacks hyped the clip while Bulletwave (posting as a Banned member) talked it down and needled the crew about myg0t, prompting Goron_Elder_Chris to fire back hard. Classic mid-2000s CS rage-video culture: short reactions, inter-forum rivalry, and a banned user still lurking to stir things up.
Nice vid, Sn4fu wtf is your problem, GTFO Fkn0wned— rnie
Snafu is sad because myg0t = shit ragers who can barely annoy people.— Goron_Elder_Chris
Your either one of the washed up hasbeen myg0t kids, or one of the faggy bitches that hang on their nuts.— Goron_Elder_Chris
The "TS Hacking" TeamSpeak Tool That Was Actually a Trojan
User posts a shady 'TeamSpeak hack,' gets called out, then gets absolutely fkn0wned by a virus scan report.
A low-post-count member named Holy posted a supposed 'TeamSpeak hack' tool in November 2007, which was quickly met with skepticism from the CS:S General crowd. Debate broke out over whether the file was legitimate or a virus, with Holy defending it and dismissing antivirus flags as false positives. Uploader-ranked member pyeman ended the argument by posting a multi-engine virus scan showing the file as a confirmed trojan/dropper, prompting another member to declare he'd 'won the thread' and Holy had 'just got Fkn0wned.'
Please ban, I guess its virus because those things arent possible— banak
Yea... fake trojan.. Guess what mate? You just got Fkn0wned.— Bradders
Pyeman wins thread. No seriously.— bobbafett07
Blackk Pub VIP Scam Warning
One member paid $50 for 'VIP' cheat access and got a fake popup program instead — here's the receipts.
A member named Vatican posted a public warning that the paid VIP upgrade for the 'Blackkpub' cheat program was a scam, claiming he lost $50 testing it and received only a useless VB-coded fake executable in return. A staff member (typeusernamehere) responded skeptically, quoting a hostile reply from Vatican and brushing it off with a shrug. It's a small but telling snapshot of the era's cheat-seller scam culture and the community's jaded, combative tone toward it.
THIS IS A SCAM. I sent in about 50$ just to test if it was legit. IT IS NOT.— Vatican
GO FUCK YOURSELF— Vatican
No problem, since I dont believe it— typeusernamehere
NEW TF2 HACKS! (the thread that wasn't)
A brand-new user's first post was a bait-and-switch rant tearing into the whole cheat scene — posted in the wrong forum for extra points.
A freshly registered (and quickly banned) member named 'basterd' used a 'NEW TF2 HACKS!' title to lure clicks, only to unleash a furious rant against the site's cheaters, mocking them for needing hacks to feel good at games. The regulars weren't having it — jcomp6 and Bradders clapped back hard, pointing out the irony of raging that much on a cheat forum and roasting his spelling and posting location. Classic fkn0wned energy: bait thread, moderator-worthy meltdown, and old-timers putting a rando in his place within hours.
That fuckin fooled u all .........u set of hackin cunts— basterd

Selling CafeCert! — Valve Cyber Café Reseller Thread Implodes
A guy tries to sell cracked Steam Cyber Café licenses as the ultimate VAC-dodge, and the thread eats itself.
User ENLIGHTEND advertised 'Valve Cyber Café' licenses for $40 each, pitching them as a way to access every Steam game and supposedly dodge VAC bans by cycling random Steam IDs. Other members quickly questioned its legitimacy, pointed out trading rules (100 posts required), and corrected claims about which games were included. The thread devolved into arguments with InzaneHacker furiously accusing the seller and others of 'leaking' a cracked tool that was getting detected in real time, while others defended it as just for sharing with friends.
Good fucking work fucking idiots, its allready detected... God I HATE fucking leakers!!! GO DIE IN HELL!!!— InzaneHacker
Hmm Please don't trade with him, it seems like its a crack!— banak
This is srsly stupid... More you "leake" it, the more it gets detected...— InzaneHacker
PAIN CHEATS Rant Thread
A 2007 meltdown over 'Pain Cheats' turns into a grammar roast that gets grave-dug for months
User exora kicked off an angry, slur-laden rant accusing the makers of 'Pain Cheats' of scamming VIP users with broken hacks. The thread quickly derailed as other members mocked exora's incoherent grammar and punctuation more than they engaged with the actual complaint, turning it into a running joke. It got bumped and 'grave dug' repeatedly over the following months, with regulars groaning at each revival, and someone eventually noted the target site had itself been hacked.

Steam Update Post Sparks Months-Long Spam Feud in Deutsche Hacks
A routine Steam patch-notes post spirals into a German-language spam feud that limps on for five pages and months
albert90 posted the official Steam client changelog from September 17, 2007 in the German-language 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum, signing off with the forum's usual 'cheat at your own risk' disclaimer. Newer member Keskin^ called it spam, sparking a multi-post argument with albert90 and strang0r over forum seniority, post counts, and whether posting Steam updates was an established 'Brauch' (tradition) on the site. The thread eventually devolved into strang0r and albert90 (who leveled up to '1000 Club' status along the way) trading in-jokes about who would get the last post on each page, dragging what started as patch notes into a running bit that stretched for months.
Wie immer: Nach eurem ermessen cheaten!!— albert90

The real way to get 4 digits.
A member's 'genius' Steam account scheme turned out to be plain old phishing — and the thread turned on him fast.
In this 2007 Steam Client subforum thread, member CoryZ pitched what he framed as a clever trick for grabbing '4 digit' Steam accounts by cloning the CEVO gaming league site to trick users into submitting their Steam credentials. Other members were confused at first, then staff member HaSh bluntly labeled it 'phishing,' and several regulars piled on calling the method obvious, dumb, and pointless. The thread fizzled into mockery and a late necro-reply months later, standing as a small snapshot of the era's casual account-scamming culture and how the community reacted to it.
In other words. Phishing.— HaSh
this is just the stupidest pointless fucking thread I've ever seen in my life.— Deathishereowns
anyone thats really into cevo would know thats a scam dont ya think??— Legit_Hacks
Steam Exploit 1.0 — Malware Bait Thread
A low-post-count nobody dropped a fake 'Steam exploit' — turns out it was a virus buffet with 15+ AV hits.
A brand-new member named miky3000 posted a supposed 'Steam Exploit 1.0' tool, but fellow member Reflector ran it through a multi-engine virus scan and posted the results showing it was flagged as malware/trojan-like by numerous antivirus engines. The thread quickly turned into a pile-on, with regulars mocking the OP as an obvious scammer and calling for a ban. A moderator (DCLXVI) ultimately closed the topic, officially citing 'malicious software posted' as the reason.
Malicious Sofware Removed!— miky3000
EDIT: BAN THIS FKER! This is PACKED with virus's!— Reflector
please ip ban this motherfucker and do whatever you must to get him raped by a 80 year old man with aids— banak
Register's Steam Account Scam Ring Exposed
A guy tries to buy Steam accounts in bulk, then his own MSN chat log gets posted proving he was running a scam ring.
A user named Register posted in the Buyers Section looking to buy Steam accounts in bulk, drawing some mocking replies before he defended himself as legit. Weeks later, member ojj321 returned to post a full chat-log breakdown of how he was scammed by Register (using the alias 'choo bai') via a fake Steam Guard verification trick, only to discover the same stolen account was immediately resold by a second account, Danger105, suggesting Register was running (or working with) a multi-account scam operation. The thread is a classic 'buyer beware' cautionary tale typical of the Market Place section, ending with both scammer accounts reportedly banned and other members chiming in with told-you-so's about not trusting unverified traders.

[NEW] tC Hook release thread
A hack release that turned into a pile-on against the guy who posted it
A user named Jube posted a 'tC Hook' cheat release for Counter-Strike: Source in the VAC Proof Releases section back in April 2008. The thread quickly derailed into accusations that Jube was an account stealer, warnings that the download was likely infected with a virus, and general forum flaming. By the time replies rolled in, Jube had already been banned, prompting one member to tell everyone to drop it since the poster was gone anyway — though the insults kept coming regardless.

The 'Combat Arms Aimbot' That Was Definitely Not Leeched, Probably
Guy releases a Combat Arms aimbot under a fake name — forum immediately clocks it as a leeched Catalyst hack, chaos ensues
A member calling himself rjross2000 (aka 'RecklessYouth') posted a Combat Arms aimbot with the usual feature checklist and a password-protected download, claiming to be its coder. Within days other members identified it as a re-upload of an existing hack called 'Catalyst,' branding the poster a leecher, and a staff virus-scan disclaimer was slapped on the thread. The OP fired back with an all-caps meltdown defending his credibility, but multiple users piled on with VirusTotal links, accusations, and 'ban him' calls, and the thread trails off with no resolution before the archive cuts out mid-1231.
so if u dont have prof its a virus or dont know for sure dont just blurt its a virus out, you god damn sons of bitches are the most retarded people i have ever seen— rjross2000
i dont know about this, sounds to good to be true— Xreaper19
CLOSE THIS POST & BAN HIM HE IS A LEECHER— evermore666
Kimmi's Ban Revenge: Raid Spawnpoint's CS:S Servers
A mod got banned from a rival CS:S community and tried to rally the whole forum to go raid their servers over it
Forum smod Kimmi got banned from the Spawnpoint gaming community's Counter-Strike: Source servers (claiming it was undeserved, insisting she was playing 'legit') and posted a full list of their server IPs asking members to spam/raid/rage them in retaliation, framing the admins as lifeless old dicks who deserved to be 'pwned'. The thread got mixed reactions — some members offered to help 'super pwn' whoever she named, others called it a waste of time and told her to just find a new server. The topic died out after a few days in October 2008, only to be necro-bumped over a year later by a random reply, prompting another mod to mock the huge gap with a sarcastic 'says it all'.
They banned me for playing legit. Son of a bitches that they are, if I hacked.. It's ok. It's real. But this is bullshit.— Kimmi
I don't care about their shitty server. I just want them to get pwned so badly, so badly, that they'll all suicide.— Kimmi

OMG U HAC MYSPACES?!
Gate Guardian bragged about breaking into some girl's MySpace, and the whole thread cheered him on.
A 2007 thread in the Raging subforum where user Gate Guardian posted a screenshot claiming to have compromised a stranger's MySpace account, with the login details locked behind a 'reply to unhide' gimmick common on the forum. Replies range from casual approval ('cool', 'owned', 'nice work') to a couple of members questioning the method, and one poster (mehaxor) gleefully recounts vandalizing the victim's profile and mocking her confused reaction. The tone throughout is juvenile bravado typical of the forum's 'Raging' section, treating the intrusion as a lighthearted prank rather than anything serious.
gate are you just phising people or bruteforcing?— HaSh
I've put "I love Fkn0wned.com" almost everywhere on her myspace and she doesnt even know how to fix it— mehaxor
Shes a fucking goth, and i bet you are too.— MillerLite
Scammed By capdeotel2012
A Steam bundle trade goes sideways — one gift key, already redeemed, and a gif to prove it.
A dispute thread in the Disputes and Reports section where a member accused trader capdeotel2012 of scamming them over a Steam key bundle deal — the gift link turned out already redeemed. Staff member LadyFusah stepped in to mediate, asking for the accused's side and pointing users to the report system. Another member, Mr. Pink, posted a gif attempting to activate one of the supposedly unused keys as evidence, alongside a long list of prior glowing vouches for the trader from other members, making the case murkier — a good reputation colliding with a fresh accusation.
I received the link from that Bundle and the gift was redeemed for one person. I'll wait for capdeotel2012 defense on this.— LadyFusah
I also took the liberty of making a small gif of me trying to activate one of the keys included in the bundle— Mr. Pink
very good seller, he goes first and doesn't care what you have, pay or no pay i will go with him again ... But don't fool him plz
The JohnnyWalker Scam Dispute
A shady account resale deal goes sideways — 'you are high or something?' says the man who got played
A Disputes and Reports thread on fkn0wned where user ilan2142 accuses JohnnyWalker of scamming him over a sold account/HWID reset deal, backing the claim with screenshots and vouch-request proof. JohnnyWalker denies wrongdoing, claims his own PayPal went negative and that the disputed account/HWID was never really his to give back, while ilan2142 picks apart the contradictions in his story point by point. The exchange is tense and messy, full of the classic 'he said/he said' back-and-forth typical of these account-trading disputes, with JohnnyWalker eventually shown as BANNED by the final post.
you are high or something?— ilan2142
Give me my money back! Paypal just put me with negative balance and now I just put 50$ on it and my money gone!!!!— Johnny Walker
I don't care what he's saying too, I've my head all cleaned and clear.— Johnny Walker
Hello, My Name Is Spencer Cain (Page 2) — Introduce Yourself thread gone sideways
A newbie's intro thread spirals into a fake-death-in-the-family saga and the forum collectively calls BS
What started as a routine 'Introduce Yourself' post from a new member (posting as '_Encryption_', later apparently also known as Color Blind) turned into a small drama when the poster claimed to be dealing with a death in the family, then admitted they were 'trolling,' then backpedaled again claiming it was real. Longtime members and staff (trs, JasonSteel, Deathcorenoise, Darkness, silentr0ck, Spitfire, RandyCandy) piled on with skepticism, jokes, and mock-threats, treating the whole thing as a lesson in not trusting internet claims. It ends with the general consensus that everyone got played, capped off with some classic fkn0wned snark and admin/mod presence.
I wasn't trolling, im dead serious— _Encryption_
Do you know what we do with kids that lie about death relatives here?— silentr0ck
we all just got played— RandyCandy
Why is coke banned? (unresolved mystery ban thread)
One line, one ban, zero explanation — the thread that asked "wait, why is coke banned?"
A short-lived General Discussion thread where member mr.N0Nam3 publicly questioned why a user named 'coke' had been banned. Fellow member banak speculated it might be a mod account compromise or security issue rather than a deliberate ban. The thread was closed by staff member Shifty the same day it was posted, leaving the mystery unresolved in the archive.
ya so like, why is coke banned.— mr.N0Nam3
Is he?! Probably someone hacked a mod or something with the insecurity. I dunno..— banak
zEpp's Steam Account Store
A member tries to sell phished Steam accounts in the marketplace — mods slam it shut within hours.
In the Market Place section, longtime member zEpp posted a storefront-style thread offering Steam accounts for sale, explicitly noting several were 'phished' from other players, including one allegedly taken from a figure called Pubmasters. Listings included SteamIDs, VAC ban status, and asking prices. Founder TuxifieD closed the topic within hours, citing a 'scam review' and warning zEpp against reopening it or facing a permanent ban — a quick, blunt bit of moderation on a forum that otherwise tolerated a lot of gray-market activity.
I have way too many accounts to list here so I'm only going to post the low digits and special ones.— zEpp
Closed pending scam review. If you open another topic you will be perm banned.— TuxifieD
zEpp's Market Place Review Thread
One glowing review in, and a founder slams the door shut on zEpp's trading rep.
This was a Market Place 'User Review' thread for a seller named zEpp, meant to collect feedback only on transactions from 2/27/2010 onward, explicitly telling people not to dredge up old sales. A single buyer, Sinista, chimed in with a quick positive review of an account purchase. Almost immediately after, founder TuxifieD locked the thread and banned zEpp from the Market Place entirely, with no further explanation given beyond a terse moderator note.
Lets start over now. Don't bring up anything from old topics or sales.— zEpp
zEpp you're done in the market place. Thanks.— TuxifieD
How To Steal Steam Accounts (Another Way)
A co-manager posts a 'new' Steam-jacking method and immediately gets torn apart in the replies.
A thread in the Random Tuts subforum where user DCLXVI, a Co-Manager on the site, posted an alternate method for stealing Steam accounts, crediting an unknown original source. The very first reply from HackAttack was a scathing, insult-laden dismissal calling the method foolish and the poster an idiot, setting an immediately hostile tone. The visible portion cuts off with DCLXVI replying back, suggesting the exchange continued into further pages.
That is seriously fucking retarded and you would have to be an ignorant fool (like the creator of this) to fall for it. Go die in a fire you homo-erotic porn loving queer.— HackAttack
This is a different way to steal steam accounts. You don't need to pretend to be a bot.— DCLXVI
The gunsforhire.org.uk Callout Thread
A CoD2 member got booted from his own clan's site and came back swinging — then someone bragged about DDoSing it 'for the lulz'
A short but spicy Rants and Raves thread where a member calling himself LastOneStanding vented about being kicked from a clan (tied to the site gunsforhire.org.uk) he claims he helped set up, accusing the leader and members of betrayal and general incompetence at CoD4. The rant escalated quickly when another member, Firerain, casually admitted to DDoSing the site for half an hour 'for the lulz' and invited others to pile on. It's a tiny snapshot of the petty clan drama and casual toxicity that defined a lot of early cheat-scene forum culture — beef aired in public, retaliation offered up like a group activity.
Steal all my members, call me a hacker then decide to delete me. I wanna fuck em hard!— LastOneStanding
I DDoS'd them for like 30 minutes for the lulz. It didn't do much except slow the site down a bit. Anyone else wanna take a shot?— Firerain
IP Ban? — the guy banned 6 times complains about it
Banned six times, this genius's solution: come back and demand better bans.
A user posting under the name FuckyouFKN, banned repeatedly from the site, showed up in Suggestions + Feedback to mock the staff for only banning accounts instead of IPs, daring them to 'do better.' The thread was locked by staff the same day it was posted, filed under the blunt closing reason 'stupid.' A quick, almost comedic snapshot of a repeat troll getting the last word taken away instantly by moderation.
Has this shitty site ever thought of IP bans? I mean come on. I have been banned like 6 times and you newbs just ban the account.— FuckyouFKN
stupid— PaRaNoID
Fkn0wned Ventrilo Server & a Rage-Quit Farewell
The old voice-chat invite thread — plus one member's spectacular rage-quit on the way out the door.
A News + Site Updates thread advertising the site's Ventrilo voice server for members to hang out and chat. Most of the discussion is mundane — people asking why they can't connect — but it's memorable for a scorched-earth farewell post from a banned member unloading on the community before disappearing. Typical of the site's rough, unmoderated 'we moderate your fun' era.
Fkn0wned is really gay. I am leaving all you piece of shits.— Visual0n!
Is there a problem with the Ventrilo server still? I can't seem to connect.— skanza
Kid Asks Forum to Hack His Rival's PC via IP
A kid rage-posts his rival's IP and Steam emails, asking the forum to 'fuck with' him — classic 2007 fkn0wned energy.
A member named bobbafett07 posted asking the community to attack a fellow gamer who'd threatened him after being kicked from his clan, sharing the target's claimed IP address, a couple of Steam-linked email addresses, and some website hosting info. He offered 'kudos' to anyone who'd mess with the guy. It's a small, short-lived thread in the Other Raging subforum, typical of the site's more reckless corners where personal disputes spilled into requests for retaliation.
Kudo's if you do. Oh and tell me what you did to him— bobbafett07
He has 2 steam accounts with unvac'd CSS so if you want to keylog him— bobbafett07
Scam Report: k0fighter
A CS:S account trade with a 'trusted' member turns into a login-and-lock scam — right in the Scam Reports forum where it belongs.
A March 2008 Scam Reports thread where user logik92 accuses trader 'k0fighter' of scamming him out of a 7-digit Steam account during a trade, after k0fighter stalled with excuses about verifying CAL experience before going silent and locking logik92 out of his own account. Fellow member Rock Superstar chimes in claiming he too was scammed by the same person for a 6-digit account, admitting he never posted a warning himself. The thread ends with both members agreeing k0fighter deserves a ban, a small but classic snapshot of the trust-based, frequently-betrayed account trading economy of the site.
5 minutes of no response, he logs off and changes my pass and contact id.— logik92
he's fucking gayass scammer! he scammed my 6 digit, ban him out if this really fast— Rock Superstar
mr.N0Nam3's Public Apology
A supervisor eats crow forum-wide after posting someone's photo out of spite.
A Supervisor named mr.N0Nam3 posted a public apology on the General Discussion board admitting he leaked a picture of a member named 'tux' and flamed other staff members during a personal dispute. He clarified he wasn't forced to apologize, framed it as a moment of immaturity and anger, and hoped to smooth things over with the community. A staff member named Industry replied shortly after, though the response itself wasn't preserved in full. The thread captures a small but telling moment of internal staff drama typical of the forum's day-to-day social friction.
I'm sorry for posting tux's pic, I'm sorry for flaming the people who i did in staff, it wont happen again and I hope we can all get along— mr.N0Nam3
Game cheating site implicated on multiple charges
The day a rival cheat site allegedly got caught with its hand in EA and Valve's network cookie jar.
A News + Updates post from staff member c0ke shares a report claiming an unnamed game-cheating site was implicated in alleged network intrusions connected to EA and Valve. The post kicks off a two-page thread, presumably with members discussing the fallout and implications for the cheat scene at large. It's a snapshot of the era's constant tension between cheat sites and the game companies trying to shut them down.
Alleged intrusion of networks associated with EA and Valve.— c0ke
