Low 5 Digit Have A LoOk

SnEaKyJoKER hawks a dusty low-5-digit Steam ID, bumps it for weeks, and torches a guy who dares question its security.

A Market Place listing where longtime member SnEaKyJoKER tries to sell an old low-5-digit Half-Life/Steam account, touting its 241+ days of inactivity as proof it's 'unretrievable' and safe to buy. The thread drags on for weeks with repeated self-bumps, a lowball $5 joke offer, some price haggling up to $40, and a side blowup where a skeptic (deX-) gets told off in classic forum fashion. A moderator drive-by also reveals that regular poster KreaT!vE got banned mid-thread for allegedly conspiring to leak VIP status.

u seriously kidding right? it wont.. unless u do something stupid and log into many accounts and got it disabled..— SnEaKyJoKER

Ps. Dont like me? U can Suck My Asian Balls— SnEaKyJoKER

Conspiring to leak VIP with others.— ap3x

Aimbot for 2D shooter? HAH, Good luck!

S3RK dared the coders to crack Soldat's physics — then got called out for bluffing about having already done it

A short 2009 Christmas-Eve thread in the Rebel Gaming subforum where VIP member S3RK challenges other coders to build an aimbot for Soldat, a niche 2D platform shooter known for its tricky bullet physics. He claims to have already made one better than an older community effort using VB6, but when fellow member SpaZy calls him out to prove it, S3RK backpedals, saying it only worked on an old game version and he wasn't bothered dealing with the newer anti-cheat. A tiny, quintessential forum-drama moment: bold claim, public skepticism, quiet retreat.

So there used to be a community about 4 years back that successfully produced an aimbot. But I ended up making a better one with VB6 -_-.— S3RK

so if you made a better aimbot, why don't you share it? sounds like your claiming something in which you cant/didnt do.— SpaZy

Because it was made for a much earlier version of the game. Now they have an anti-cheat which I cbf bypassing.— S3RK

The Suspicious Case of the 'Sold in 20 Minutes' Low-Digit Steam Account

CoryZ claimed a rare low-digit Steam account for a 'friend' — and it was allegedly sold before anyone could even ask a question.

In this Trading board thread from December 2007, user CoryZ advertised a rare low-digit Steam account (supposedly on behalf of a friend) with a suspiciously vague screenshot and a $1000 asking price. Within twenty minutes CoryZ posted that it had already sold, which immediately drew skepticism from the community — several members called it fake or bullshit and debated whether low-digit Steam IDs even existed outside of Valve/GameStop-affiliated accounts. The thread devolved into low-digit-account trivia and mockery before a moderator locked it to stop spam.

Just got sold , sry— CoryZ

you could have just edited your post— Afteryou

Gotta be bullshit, he's making this up— sammo

Steam Account Seller Called Out as Thief in Own Trading Thread

A guy tries to sell a stack of cheap Steam accounts — then gets called out as an account thief in his own thread.

A member named liamhardy123 posted a listing offering several Steam accounts bundled with old-school titles like CS 1.6, CSS, DoD, and HL2DM, priced from 5 to 30 (currency/units unspecified, as was typical of these under-the-table trade posts). The thread quickly got derailed: one reply pointed out he didn't meet the forum's 100-post minimum required to trade, and another member, jacal, accused him outright of having stolen their account, with a third poster piling on about a scam. It's a small but pretty representative snapshot of the wild-west, buyer-beware energy of Fkn0wned's Steam trading subforum back in late 2007.

don't trade with this guy he stole my account— jacal

Lol i was gonna scam him get your account back.— havok123

Umm You need 100 post to do this— DJSketch

Failed Admin Mod Scam Callout

A guy tried to sell a server admin mod but refused to prove it existed — the chat log is a masterclass in getting clowned.

Member smexy123 posted a chat log where someone going by killer_j attempted to sell an 'admin mod' for a server but repeatedly refused to demo it, deteriorating into insults and denials when pressed. The thread's replies pile on, with another member (eskimo123321) identifying killer_j as a known figure from a rival clan with a reputation for banning people unfairly and shorting clans on server deals. The general vibe is mockery and pile-on humor typical of the forum's off-topic drama threads, with several posters just laughing at the failed scam attempt and swapping reaction images.

if you cant even show me your obviously lieing— SmexyNess

Great you cought me. i lied about admin/— killer_j

he spent most of the time insulting you when he tried to sell it lol.— spaztaz666

Can Someone Get This Guy Back For Me?

Guy gets scammed on a website coding job, tries to crowdsource revenge with a free CoD4 key — forum says 'not your personal army'

Member Tzaxo posted asking the community to help retaliate against a coder who took his money for a website job and never delivered, offering up the guy's MSN and website and even dangling a free (clean) CoD4: MW key as a reward for anyone willing to help. The thread quickly got shut down by regulars invoking the classic 'not your personal army' response, with a couple of members telling him to just learn the skills himself using the site's tutorials. One poster summed it up with blunt indifference about getting ripped off being 'part of life.'

inb4not your personal army— ap3x

Theres a free COD4 MW key non-banned or used in it if you do.— Tzaxo

Getting ripped off is part of life.— Unbeliveable

"I made a phishing site lulz"

A member bragged about running a fake Steam "free gold account" phishing page — then got caught out when someone submitted junk creds to prove his point.

In this 2007 Off-Topic thread, member fouine posted about setting up a crude fake Steam page promising free "gold account" upgrades, intending to harvest login info from gullible visitors and resell the accounts. Fellow member orangespwnz called it out as straightforward account theft rather than a joke, and the two argued back and forth over intent and ethics while other members mostly mocked the scheme's sloppy spelling and obvious fakeness as pathetic rather than dangerous. The link was eventually pulled, and the thread ends with members agreeing the whole thing was more embarrassing than clever.

some kids are not so "OMG I HAVE TO LOOK THE URL" when they are stressed so it's nice— fouine

This is just YOU trying to get other peoples' accounts by trying to get people to send everyone that link. Do your stealing by yourself— orangespwnz

this is so ridiculously put together and has so many spelling mistakes, no one in their right mind would do this shit— Peski-Ruski

The 'mcm' Account Scammer Callout

Bought a 'safe' MW2 account from mcm — it got reclaimed the very next day.

A user review thread where member tactical101 called out seller 'mcm' for selling a Modern Warfare 2 account that was supposedly secure from reclamation, only for it to be retrieved by the original owner within a day, followed by mcm allegedly ghosting on MSN. Another member, majrbrawl, suggested taking it up with staff and posting in mcm's actual sales thread — to which tactical101 replied that his post there had been deleted. Seller S3RK chimed in with a disclaimer that sellers aren't responsible post-purchase and touted his own 'more secure' methods, offering to sort out a replacement account. A small but classic slice of the Market Place account-trading drama common to forums like this.

Well i bought a mw2 account from mcm. The one he promised would not get retrieved. The next day it gets retrieved.— tactical101

i did but it got deleted— tactical101

Well, as my rules go. I'm not responsible for the account after you purchase it.— S3RK

Epic Rage - the FBI/IC3 prank thread

The time someone convinced a bunch of strangers the FBI was calling their house

In this 'Other Raging' thread, user CrimsonRain bragged about trolling a batch of people on an unrelated forum by claiming to have reported them to the FBI via the IC3 cybercrime tip line, then posting a YouTube video, a link to the original target forum post, and mediafire-hosted chatlogs as 'proof' of the chaos caused. A spam fight broke out in the process, credited partly to a member named Ballistic. It's a classic slice of the board's raging/advertising culture — low-stakes internet trolling presented as a trophy.

I Kinda raged a few dozen people!— CrimsonRain

I scaired the crap out of these people badly.— CrimsonRain

Had to cut this one short because we were having a spam fight (thanks ballistic for the spammer)— CrimsonRain

"Free Keys, Test For Me Please" — Uncensor3d's Bait-and-Switch Giveaway

A thread promising free keys turns into a two-month begging session that ends with a 100-point paywall.

Uncensor3d opened this Battlefield: 2142 board thread in August 2007 offering unspecified 'keys' for members to test, insisting they weren't for sale. A steady trickle of members piled in over the following weeks asking to be sent one, with the thread drifting off-topic (into CS:S, account requests, and general begging) since the BF2142 section reportedly got little moderator attention. By the end, Uncensor3d had walked back the 'free' framing entirely, demanding trade offers or 100 forum points per key, prompting at least one member to publicly call the whole thing probably fake.

I'm not selling these, i just would like them tested to see if they work so don't spam crap.— Uncensor3d

no i'm not going to just give keys away for nothing, especially to people i don't know.— Uncensor3d

no pm its probably fake— p5y

The FkN Staff

A 7-page rant thread that somehow turned into DCLXVI's toilet-break Terminator bit

A long-running thread in the Rants and Raves subforum, apparently started as a venting spot about (or dedicated to) the site's staff back in September 2007, dragging on through late October that year. By the tail end it's mostly regulars trading jokes rather than actual complaints, with a running gag about DCLXVI stepping away mid-conversation for a bathroom break. Lighthearted, low-stakes forum banter typical of the era rather than any major drama.

I'll be back. (I need to take a shit).— DCLXVI

haha! you should of wrote the script for the movie.— Jack Daniels

1000th post btw— rnie

Fuck Valve - hunterbrute224 gets reported for 'hacking'

A guy got VAC-reported for shaky mouse hands and door-shooting, and the whole thread piled on to laugh at his rage — and his rookie mistake of posting his Steam account on a hacking site.

In this Rants and Raves thread, member hunterbrute224 vents after being accused of cheating in CS:S by a player who rallied friends to mass-report him, and shares what he claims is a Valve customer service reply explaining how cheat reports and account suspensions work. Other members pile in with mixed reactions — some sympathetic, some mocking him for posting his own Steam account details on a public cheat/hacking forum, which several called a dumb move given VAC bans could follow. The thread is a small, cranky, of-its-era snapshot of forum drama around VAC enforcement and cheat-community paranoia in late 2007.

So I played CSS today and some douche fuck said OH YOUR HACKING IMMA REPORT YOU— hunterbrute224

Saying on a hacking community website "I don..."— bobbafett07

The Combo List Sale That Nobody Trusted

New guy shows up, starts selling stolen login lists 19 minutes after joining — forum immediately smells a rat.

A brand-new member, MUH4M3D, posted a sales thread in the Regular Sellers District hawking bulk 'combo lists' (leaked username/password and email/password dumps) for sites like Amazon, PSN, Steam, and Xbox, promising bonus data for certain buyers. Established VIPs and staff (Fuser, Proud2B3rown, sinder, Bangerz) grilled him for vouches and proof the lists weren't just scraped public dumps, and the seller's own explanation that he 'collected from many forums' and filtered duplicates only deepened suspicions of a low-effort resell scam. Despite the skepticism, at least one member (petki4a) claimed to have bought and been happy, and the thread limped on for months with bumps and lukewarm interest from names like LordEthan2 and owner TuxifieD.

Joined Today, 07:28 PM then 19min later you allready is selling combos.— sinder

collected from many forums, LoL so its a public combolist, FAIL....— sinder

I bought and I am very happy !— petki4a

Teh Contagious Introduces Himself, Gets Roasted

A previously banned member re-registers under a cocky new name — and gets torn apart within minutes.

A returning user going by 'ConTag1ous' introduces himself in the classic Introduce Yourself subforum, admitting he'd been banned before for 'powning some admin' and bragging that everyone is jealous of him. Established members and staff immediately pile on, mocking his username choice and calling him pathetic for coming back. The thread runs to at least two pages, with a banned user (NoNamE!) later jumping in to flame one of the earlier repliers, keeping the drama going well after the original poster's introduction was forgotten.

Im teh contagious... Your'e all jealous of me cuz im the shit and your not— ConTag1ous

Lol @ jealous and which admin did you pwn.— Shifty

its sad to say that u are so pathetic and sad and actually bother to make an account and post useless shit in here.. WE all are glad that u still misses fkn0wned..— haha.1

Angry BF2142 Cheat Demand Turns Into Mockery and a German-Lesson Flame War

A one-post rage-quit demand for BF:2142 hacks turns into a grammar fight, a German lesson, and a Source Industries plug.

A brand-new member's angry, poorly-worded demand for Battlefield 2142 hacks kicked off a short thread that mostly mocked the OP instead of helping him. A German-speaking user's reply got mocked for being unreadable, then defended, sparking a mini side-argument about literacy and manners. A supervisor and a couple of longtime regulars piled on the entitled 'one-post wonder,' with one member plugging the affiliated SourceIndustries.Net cheat shop as the 'real' option.

What a shit i cant find any bf2142 hacks— Asshole123456789ass

why don't you go fuck yourself sideways ok?— mr.N0Nam3

He was speaking German you illiterate tool.— Darkchaos556

Vote! Rally Against cs.shitco (2007 Top-Sites War)

HaSh sounds the alarm: a rival forum is winning the vote war, and it's time to rally the [FkN] crew.

A November 2007 General Discussion thread where longtime member HaSh urges the community to vote for Fkn0wned in some kind of top-sites/forum-ranking contest, framing it as a rivalry against a competing site he derides. Jack Daniels chimes in with mock-patriotic enthusiasm backing the call to action, and the tone is jokey, crude, and tribal in the way old-school forum rivalries often were. It's a small snapshot of forum community-building and site-vs-site rivalry culture from the era.

cs.shitco is beating us, how the fuck can that piece of shit arab site be beating us? Go to the forum index and vote away! we need to win!— HaSh

I R Voting Captain Hash Browns! Down with the towel head camel jockies!— Jack Daniels

This Site Has Been Raged to Death

A goodbye screenshot, one banned noob, and a thread mods stamped 'pointless' before slamming it shut.

A thread from December 2007 declaring fkn0wned 'raged to death,' posted by a member (Framed2000) who was already in Banned status at the time of posting, complete with a nostalgic image link and a farewell tone. Other members quickly questioned the point of the screenshot and its connection to the claim, and a moderator (PaRaNoID) closed the thread soon after with the terse reason 'pointless.' It's a small, dramatic capstone moment typical of late-era forum decline threads, where members publicly mourn or mock the community's fading activity.

Its been fun.— Framed2000

Whats the screenie got to do with it being raged?— waLLa

Gifting Steam Games — Unfeared's Offer Gets Shut Down

A user offers to 'gift' any Steam game for PayPal — the forum smells stolen accounts within minutes.

In the Black Market subforum, member Unfeared advertised gifting Steam games to anyone's account for PayPal payment, but wouldn't give straight prices when asked. Regulars like PaynE and XpliciteR quickly called it out as almost certainly funded by stolen/hacked PayPal accounts, warning that the gifted games would just get revoked from the buyer's Steam account later. The thread was eventually locked by a member citing suspicion of stolen PayPal use, framing the whole offer as a likely scam.

You must be using stolen paypals. No way your buying a game with your own money and selling it for less.— PaynE

Closed, suspicion of using stolen paypals. Basically a scam if the game gets removed from your account.— Patiencee

Keylogger [FUD] — the one that turned out to be a virus

A member drops a 'fully undetected' keylogger, the forum asks for proof, and a mod slams the door in under an hour.

In the Programming subforum of Tech & Security, a user named Haxor-pro posted a download claiming to be an 'epic' FUD (fully undetected) keylogger. Other members immediately pushed back, asking for source code and confirmation it actually worked rather than just trusting the claim. The thread died fast: a moderator identified it as an actual virus, then locked the topic and banned the poster. A quick, characteristic snapshot of the forum's cheat/malware-sharing culture and its occasional self-policing.

can some1 confirm this? maybe you FUD your own "keylogger" and it mite not work..— DvS

It's a virus. /closed and banned— PopTart

EVERYONE!! RAGE TIME!!! — the tHe. domain-info dump that went nowhere

A disgruntled ex-member tried to sic the forum on a rival crew with a WHOIS printout — and got roasted for it instead

User p0mp, a self-described former member of a group called 'tHe.', posted what he claimed was leaked info on their site as ammo for anyone wanting to 'rage' on them. The 'exclusive intel' turned out to just be public Domains by Proxy WHOIS privacy-protection contact info — no actual personal data on anyone. hEndr!x immediately called it out as useless, mockingly noting they'd need an actual IP to do anything with it, and the thread fizzles into a dud instead of the drama-fest it was pitched as.

they suck teh pen0r x10. they think they are hot shit.— p0mp

Oh wow we have a phone number, street adress and who the registered thier domain with ya this helps alot YOU FAIL /rage We need thier ip have a nice day— hEndr!x

A staffer publicly wished for 'a good hacker' to go mess up a rival site — thread got closed same day for 'failing'

A short-lived General Discussion thread where a Fkn0wned staff member ('Industry') vented about a rival site (referred to as 'mpc') whose members allegedly came into Fkn0wned trying to act '1337' and spam, only to flop. He floated the idea of someone retaliating against the site, half-jokingly asking where a 'good hacker' was when you needed one. A Supervisor ('Don Ruski') replied, but the thread was shut down by a moderator that same day with the note 'Thread Failed,' cutting the drama short before it could develop.

why doesn't someone just go mess that site up already...they are getting kinda aggravating.— Industry

where is a good hacker when you need one?— Industry

The '$5 PayPal Money Tutorial' Scam Thread

A 25-post noob tried to sell a 'get rich quick' PayPal secret — the forum was not fooled.

A low-post-count member posted a classic pay-me-first scam in the Random Tuts subforum, asking people to send $5 to a Yahoo-linked PayPal email in exchange for a supposed money-making tutorial. Regulars immediately called it out as an obvious scam, pointing out the poster's thin post history and the site's culture of sharing tutorials freely rather than selling them. Staff member AKULA capped it off with a dry, sarcastic breakdown mocking the 'tutorial' as nothing more than the scam itself repeated on other forums.

hahaha wow i bet this is a scam, and you only have 15 posts. your SUPPOSED to share with everyone at fkn.— c0rpsegrinder

I'll give you no more than $2.00. ... If I'm wrong....well I can't be wrong— AKULA

"Someone Hack This Site/Forums" Callout Thread

A member publicly asked the forum to go take down a rival clan's site and TeamSpeak — old-school internet beef, fully in the open.

In the 'Other Raging' subforum, a user (posting content lifted from another member, 'DCXVI') called out a rival gaming clan's website and forum, posting admin contact emails and asking fellow members to 'do your thing' against the site and its TeamSpeak server. It's a classic slice of mid-2000s forum drama culture — casual, half-joking calls for retaliation against another community, dropped into a subforum literally built for raging and beef. Only a couple of replies show, one from a user tagged as a 'Pro Spammer' who was later banned.

Scammer List (Trading > Scam Reports)

The community-maintained blacklist for trade scammers, one name at a time.

A pinned/starter thread in the Trading section's Scam Reports subforum, posted by longtime co-manager Shifty on Dec 26, 2007. It served as a running list of known scammers for members to check before trading items or accounts, with entries added as new scammers were caught. Only one name had been logged at the time of this snapshot, showing the list was just getting started.

Nagger30's WoW Account Trade Ends in Scammer Callout

Guy tries to flip two 'fully epic' WoW accounts for RS gold or a modded Steam account — thread ends with a scammer callout.

A member named Nagger30 posted in the Account Swapping subforum trying to sell or trade two World of Warcraft accounts (a Blood Elf hunter and an Undead warlock, both geared in Season 2/3 raid gear with flying mounts), looking for Runescape accounts with wealth, a Steam account with COD4, or cash. The thread got some pushback from regulars questioning the gear quality ('welfare epics'), and one user asked for proof via screenshots/armory links. It ends with another member, d14blo, publicly accusing Nagger30 of scamming a friend by taking their account info and never reciprocating.

lol full welfare epix— ballistic

This guy is a scammer. he will not give u his account info after u give him yours... SCAMMER!!!!!!— d14blo

Scammed by root-service

A dispute thread where a newly-registered 'Senior Member' got called out for scamming — then got the ban hammer.

This was a Disputes and Reports thread on Fkn0wned centered on a user named root-service, who was accused of scamming another member and ended up banned. The visible tail-end of the thread shows root-service posting flippantly right around the time of the ban, while another regular, theworlismine (a '1K Club' member with a stack of vouches for smooth trades), chimed in nearby. It's a small but telling snapshot of the site's trust economy — vouches, rep counts, and post milestones were the currency, and disputes like this one were how the community policed scammers.

Where's that giveaway fag without swag?— root-service

I will treat you as if u are the last person on earth <3— theworlismine

WoW Timecard for Sale/Trade [EU] — marz

A simple EU WoW timecard listing turns into a public scam warning.

A Market Place classified from long-time member 'marz' offering a World of Warcraft EU timecard for sale or trade, plus a low-level EU account, drew little interest until fellow member SupremeTaco chimed in with a public warning that marz had allegedly scammed him before on a BF2 key sale. It's a small snapshot of the forum's Market Place economy and the community-policing that happened in the absence of any formal escrow or verification system.

be cautious this guy has tried scamming before. I bought one bf2 from him once. then i wanted to get one for my friend, but he gave me the same key again. so be catious— SupremeTaco

"How Do You Steal WoW Accounts" Thread

A guy asks the forum how to steal World of Warcraft accounts — and gets roasted instead.

In this Other Games thread from February 2007, a member named LordEthan2 asked how to go about stealing a World of Warcraft account, reportedly to get back at some people. The responses that followed were dismissive rather than helpful, with early replies mocking WoW players rather than offering guidance. Typical of the Raging and Advertising subforum's tone, the thread reads more as a target for ridicule than a serious request.

wow is for suckers— conTagious

Steam Accounts, Hurry lol

A member dumps a pile of 'free' Steam accounts to buy some love — nobody's impressed, and a staffer calls it out cold.

Afteryou posted a batch of Steam account/password combos in General Discussion, seemingly trying to win favor with the community. Several members (prefeK, ballistic, Visio) quickly reported the accounts were dead or non-functional. Staff member miLLer shut it down hard, accusing Afteryou of trying to buy respect, and Afteryou fired back before storming off to promote another thread instead. A quick, petty flare-up typical of the forum's off-topic chaos.

Stop trying to buy peoples respect, you are a bellend plz leave.— miLLer

Ok sure well i aint even gonna argue you aint worth it go look at my new thread asshole— Afteryou

None work.— prefeK

iluvnic's Market Place Listing Gets Called Out, Then Scammed

Guy tries to sell a wallhack in the Market Place, gets called out by name in reply #2

A short Market Place listing where user iluvnic tried to sell a CoD4 key, a preordered Heroes of Newerth account, and some HoN beta invites. Fellow member Sleeping Forest immediately clowned him by quoting the exact 'private hack' rule violation in his post before it got scrubbed, and admin ap3x chimed in sarcastically. The thread fizzles into a bump, an interested buyer dropping their MSN, and finally iluvnic returning to warn everyone that buyer turned out to be a scammer.

Your about to get banned and removed from fkn0wned for selling this item ... Have fun while you can.— Sleeping Forest

thanks for that— ap3x

^ kids a scammer— iluvnic

[Selling] Legitimate Microsoft Product Keys — ckgx's Market Place Thread

A member hawked cut-rate Windows 7 and Office keys for as little as a buck a pop — cue the immediate 'sounds like bullshit' pushback.

In the Market Place section, longtime member ckgx ran a storefront-style thread selling Microsoft product keys (Windows 7, Vista, XP, Office 2007, Visual Studio, Server editions, and volume license keys), claiming they were sourced legitimately via MSDN rather than keygens. Fellow member Mystik immediately challenged the legitimacy of the keys, prompting ckgx to offer proof and eventually a 'team view' to skeptics. Over the following weeks ckgx repeatedly dropped prices and bumped the thread for sales, and staff members PopTart and vermiLLion weighed in — with PopTart vouching for ckgx as a legit seller after buying a key himself, while also noting a separate free giveaway thread existed for higher-post-count members. The thread captures the casual, semi-shady grey-market energy typical of early forum marketplaces, complete with PayPal 'gift' payment requests and no-download-links caveats.

Why would I scam someone for 5 bucks?— ckgx

MSDN....Hm sounds like some bullshit Got any proof of these kids being legitimite— Mystik

This guy is legit. bought windows 7 home premium from him.:)— PopTart

Selling Google Wave Invitations

A dude tried to sell $2 invites to a free Google product — the forum immediately called it out

A brief Market Place listing from November 2009 where member adamdafoo tried flipping Google Wave invitations (a then-hot, invite-only Google product) for $2 apiece via PayPal. Fellow members quickly clapped back, pointing out he was charging for something Google gave out for free, turning the thread into a small running joke rather than an actual sale. A snapshot of the invite-scarcity hustle culture around Google Wave's launch, filtered through classic forum ribbing.

selling google wave invites $2 each via paypal get'em well their hot— adamdafoo

ixpkxall and cedars's 'leet' virus gets roasted as just a .bat file

Two members hyped their homemade 'undetectable' virus... turns out it was just a .bat file

In this Programming subforum thread from November 2007, member IxPKxALL announced that he and 'Cedars' had created a supposedly '99% undetectable' virus, complete with a pasted antivirus scan report to back the claim. The thread quickly turned skeptical as other members picked it apart, with [LiP]STicK. bluntly pointing out it was 'just a .bat' and not leet at all, while others mocked it as a 'nub bat virus' or questioned how effective it really was. A minor back-and-forth followed with some mild praise mixed into the general ribbing typical of the forum's cheat/tool-sharing culture.

Its just a .bat ? It ain't leet— [LiP]STicK.

lol at nub bat virus— Wankst0r

HUUUGE Account for Sale — VAC Unbanned, 29 Games

Guy sells a suspiciously huge 29-game Steam account, gets accused of scamming it within hours

A member called DeathAdder posted a Steam account trade in the Trading section, advertising a VAC-unbanned account with 29 games for $59 via PayPal. He preemptively noted he'd gotten special permission from a mod ('Sonikk') to bypass the forum's post-count requirement for trading, citing his '1000th Club' member status. Replies quickly turned skeptical, with users asking for proof of the games and openly accusing him of having scammed the account rather than owned it legitimately — a classic bit of low-trust Steam-trading drama typical of the era's account market.

did u scam this account?— thesource

He did.— G3lmis

sure its a "HUUUUUGE" account, but you d...— Legit_Hacks

"3 exellent steams" - knobjockey's Steam account sale thread

A guy sells three Steam accounts for PayPal cash — then spends the whole thread arguing with mods about a 100-post rule that may or may not have even existed yet.

Member knobjockey listed three Steam accounts (six, seven, and eight-digit IDs loaded with various Half-Life/CS/TF2 titles) for sale via PayPal, priced $15-$25. The sales went through fine with buyers vouching for him as legit, but the thread turned into a running dispute over whether the Trading section's 100-post minimum rule actually applied, with staff (ballistic, HaSh) threatening bans while knobjockey and others insisted the rule wasn't posted anywhere. Another member, jacal, explained the rule was mid-implementation via a broken mod. knobjockey kept posting new account listings afterward, expanding into bundles with more games.

i bought account 1 from this guy he is very reliable and you can gaurantee a good account— ohsnap999

Stop ignoring the rules or youll get a fucking ban.— HaSh

its not in the rules caz it was a mod to make it so ppl with less then 100 posts couldn get in this section but ATM the mod is down ok happy now???— jacal

BUZZY IS BACK IN TOWN

A brand-new account claims to be a returning legend — nobody buys it for a second.

A user named Buzzy registered on Fkn0wned.com and immediately posted announcing his triumphant 'return,' claiming to be the 'best hacker.' Longtime members and staff instantly called out the obvious contradiction — his join date was that very day, meaning he couldn't be 'back' at all. A moderator shut the thread down within hours, capping off a classic, brief bit of forum skepticism toward a self-proclaimed nobody trying to make an entrance.

hi guys iam back say hi— Buzzy

You joined today, you are not back.. Jus some idiot trying to be funny.— sammo

Help Me Help You Make Money

One member's 'totally not a scam' referral scheme gets torn apart by the entire thread in real time.

User EuphoricMurder pitches a survey/referral 'make money online' site to fund a new paintball gun, asking others to use his referral link. Fellow members immediately call it out as a scam, with adriandvinsk linking outside sources debunking the site, while others simply refuse to bite. The thread devolves into good-natured mockery, ending with a suggestion to dump it on 4chan instead.

This is a scam just like all of the other sites which say "free money, this is not a scam".— adriandvinsk

cuz we don't want to give you money... easy as 1, 2, 3...— timem604

Calling Out a Blatant Content Rip on FPSBanana

Someone got caught ripping a mod so badly even the text didn't match — the forum piled on.

A Manager-ranked member (Niggorex) posted a link to an FPSBanana page showcasing what he called an especially blatant content rip, crediting fellow member Shifty for spotting it. Replies were short and mocking, with members poking fun at how poorly the ripped content blended with the rest of the work. A mix of regular members and staff (Supervisor, 1000 Club) chimed in, typical of the site's casual roast-and-laugh culture in the Links/Humor sub-board.

Check this little ripping fuck.— Niggorex

The Modified thing dont Fit with the rest omg— blackxthink

Nice RIP lol— Afteryou

Skype Unlimited malware scam shut down by mod

A 'free unlimited Skype calls' download that turned out to be malware, closed by the mod himself

A member named Rebelz posted a 'Skype Unlimited' tool promising free untracked Skype-to-Skype and phone calls, pitched partly as handy for prank calling. A handful of members thanked him and grabbed it, but it quickly stopped working for several users, antivirus software started blocking it, and one poster called it out as bundled with a trojan/malware. Mod Afteryou, who'd initially joined in on prank-call banter, shut the thread down and tagged it as a virus, warning against reposting it.

This is skype unlimited, you will never have to pay for calls again. - Great for pranking calls are not tracked.— Rebelz

unhide this shit need some kinda trojan/malware called rinst.exe this guy is a fucking fake!!!!— abusayaff

Stop posting this or you will be banned!— Afteryou

Pickpocketing Tutorial Request Turns Into Mod Flame War

New guy asks for pickpocketing 'tutorials', gets warned, calls a mod a dumb fuck, chaos ensues

A low-post-count member named Queer opened a thread in Random Tuts asking if anyone had guides, videos, or books about real-life pickpocketing. Staff quickly pointed out it wasn't a request forum and that pickpocketing was mostly talent, then handed out an official warning for the thread and a duplicate-post link. Queer lashed back at the moderators, sparking a short pile-on from other members mocking his low post count and attitude, with the thread devolving into insults before fizzling out.

And pickpocketing is more or less talent.— Peski-Ruski

Search before posting pointless threads. Warned.— Bucketface

that may be because u cant warn people because ur a little noob with 17 posts— pyeman

The 'RnR' Tag Suggestion

ZoaQ wanted a fancy prefix on his name — got mocked, corrected on his grammar, and locked instead.

A member named ZoaQ, self-identifying with a group called 'RnR', suggested the forum add an '[RnR]' prefix to certain members' names and remove the shoutbox character limit for them, framing RnR as a trusted, non-spammy clique. Staff and members pushed back, with a Smod telling him to learn English before it'd be considered, and others suggesting '[FkN]' (the site's actual tag) would look better since RnR wasn't officially part of the Fkn0wned crew. The thread devolved into some ribbing before a mod closed it, seemingly granting the request begrudgingly.

We RnR's are some Trusted fags who doesn't spam :D— ZoaQ

Learn English and than we'll talk.— Kimmi

Just Give this white cracker what he wants. /CLOSED.— SNK

IP's of Dip Shit Hackers

Guy posts a list of IPs from people who tried to hack him, thread instantly spirals into DDoS bravado and 'lol china' comedy

A member named DudeNo posted a batch of IP addresses belonging to people who allegedly tried to hack him, inviting the forum to 'do w/e the fuck you want' with them. The thread turned into the classic mix of tough-guy DDoS talk, someone dropping a milw0rm link, arguments over whether you could actually do anything useful with a bare IP, and a running joke about tracing addresses back to China and the USA. A side-spat with regular Warpig and Bucketface added some low-key drama, and it eventually fizzled into general mockery of the whole idea.

Basically these morons tried to hack me.. but they got found out. do what you want with the ip's... ddos the ip's do w/e the fuck you want...— DudeNo

You cant do a thing with thier ip nub.— bropro

wow congrats you got someones ip's. your the o...— Warpig

The sound.cfg Request That Turned Into a Nine-Day Flame War

A guy just wanted a louder-footsteps config — instead he got mocked into a nine-day meltdown.

A member named fknowner1337 asked in the CS:Source Scripting subforum for a soundscript/config to hear enemy footsteps louder and sooner, but couldn't find a .cfg (only .exe soundhacks). Regular Muhsux replied with mild advice, but the thread quickly derailed into bickering, with fknowner1337 getting increasingly frustrated and hostile, repeatedly bumping the thread ('/PUUUUSH') and lashing out with slurs when no real help came. Muhsux kept the thread alive with sarcastic bumps, ending in a mutual pile of insults rather than a resolved answer. A minor, forgettable request thread remembered mainly for its rapid, petty flame war.

SUCHE IMMER NOCH 1!!!!1eins!— fknowner1337

Renegade.MB's Signature Complaint Ends in a Ban

A banned member named 'HACKED YOUR UNCHANGED PASSWORD NEWB RENEGADE' complains his signature keeps getting edited by staff — closed as a 'stupid topic.'

A member going by Renegade.MB, whose display name mocked another user with a password-hack taunt, complained that moderators kept editing his forum signature after he used it to advertise his own website. He argued the removals were inconsistent since other members' sigs referenced outside sites too. Another member pushed back questioning whether Renegade actually owned the sites he was promoting, and a staff member (tKeR) weighed in before the thread was locked by DCLXVI, who banned Renegade and dismissed the complaint outright.

Someone is fucking around with my signature and its getting pretty annoying.— Renegade.MB

Are you the owner of demonoid.com factorize.com quakemaker.com?— Sideways

User has been banned, and stupid topic.— DCLXVI

"my second website defaced much better" — dakota vs l3m0nz credit dispute

A member brags about defacing a site with l3m0nz's tutorial — then l3m0nz shows up to claim the real credit.

In this Other Raging thread, member dakota posted screenshots bragging about defacing a website (deleting members, editing posts) and crediting his own skill. Fellow member Stev0 quickly pointed out the technique came from a tutorial by l3m0nz, who then showed up personally to jokingly claim credit for teaching dakota how to do it. The thread trails off with a few one-line 'lol' replies and a random off-topic request from Th3G33k asking someone to deface a Gunbound hacking site, typical of the low-effort chest-thumping culture of the Raging and Advertising section.

haha i deleted some members as well as edited most posts lol hahahahaha im awsome— dakota

Maybe give lemon some credit? You used his tut— Stev0

lol hahahaha no your not i am cuz i showed you how to do it— l3m0nz

VIP Anti-Aim Scripts Scam Accusation

A guy tries to sell mysterious 'VIP anti-aim scripts' and the whole thread just... doesn't believe him.

In this Market Place thread from December 2007, member abusayaff advertises unnamed 'VIP anti aim scripts' for CS 1.6, claiming they're for use alongside other hacks on hacker-vs-hacker deathmatch servers. Several members express confusion about what the scripts even do, and jacal flatly calls the concept impossible and accuses abusayaff of running a scam. Ballistic jumps in to defend the seller by attacking jacal's credibility, sparking a small flame exchange before a moderator closed the thread as pointless.

i call scamer unless you show me other wise— jacal

You have no clue what you are talking about... stop with all the bullshit that you are saying.— ballistic

another stupid ass topic.— mr.N0Nam3

Rage Screenshot Compilation vs myg0t

One member dumps a screenshot gallery of years' worth of myg0t rage-baiting, and it lands with a shrug

A member posts a compilation of screenshots documenting rages (provoked meltdowns/arguments) he'd caused over the years on the rival community myg0t, presented newest-to-oldest as a kind of highlight reel. The response is lukewarm at best: banned user 'snafu' dismisses the thread as wasted effort since few on Fkn0wned even understand 'raging' culture, prompting 1000 Club member anarchie65 to sarcastically praise the OP anyway and ask if he had rage videos. It's a small, low-drama slice of the raging/advertising subculture that defined boards like this one.

I did these rages over the years at myg0t.

dont waste your time, nobody here even knows what raging is rifk. except for a few ppl, at the max.— snafu

lol I guess that was fucking raging!! very nice job holy shit!! 10/10— anarchie65

Rapidshare Accounts For Sale!!!

A guy with 3 posts tries to sell 20 Rapidshare accounts, gets called a scammer by page two

A low-post-count member named krux tries to sell bundles of Rapidshare premium accounts for cash and MSN contact, quickly running afoul of forum trading rules (100-post minimum for real-item trades). Another member, xrefused1007, accuses him of previously selling disabled/phished Steam accounts, sparking a back-and-forth accusation of lying and reselling. Established members and staff (Sonikk, pyeman) pile on to warn people off, noting the seller ignored the rules and gave no account details, while others jokingly defend krux. The thread has the classic Market Place vibe of a sketchy account-selling offer getting shut down by community skepticism.

Don't trust this guy. He sold me steam accounts that 1 day after were disabled.— xrefused1007

No-one buy from this guy.. He didnt even read the rules before he posted... AND they are jacked/hacked/phished..— Sonikk

The guy has 3 posts hes not aloud to be selling anything anyways. GG, thread's probably gonna be closed soon.— Legit_Hacks

RAIN DOUCHEBAG: Mic-Spam Callout Turns into Rants and Raves Free-for-All

A guy named Rain spammed a zombie server's mic and chat with 'GO TO FKN0WNED.COM' — and got dragged into his own rant thread to defend himself.

Member Grantym opened a rant against a player named 'Rain' who allegedly disrupted a Counter-Strike zombie server called 'Titties and Beer' with mic spam while Grantym was trying to hack, then blasted the fkn0wned.com URL in chat, worrying it would draw unwanted attention (and VAC scrutiny) to the site. Rain himself showed up in the thread to defend his side, claiming he was the one who'd been raged on and even promised to post an 'epic video' as proof, which he later linked. The thread devolved into typical off-topic chaos — sig roasting, a couple of members (SubZero, Zogs, miLLer, GraV1ty) trading insults and jabs about signatures and school size — classic Rants and Raves energy where nobody stayed on topic for long.

I only hope no one visits this site and or reports it to the VAC authority.— Grantym

Epic video will be posted in rage section, Grantym...— Rainy

lol your supposed to bring attention to the site b...— Tripn

Steam Cafe Certificates * Available *

A guy selling 'unlimited raging + hacking' Steam cafe certs gets called out as a scammer before he even hits 100 posts.

A low-post-count member tried to sell leftover Valve internet-cafe certificates, pitching them as a way to spin up fresh Steam accounts for unrestricted 'raging and hacking' across a huge list of Steam-era games. Regulars were quick to point out the site's 100-post trading rule and voiced suspicion he was running a scam, while one buyer expressed interest anyway. A banned member later chimed in identifying the certs as basically a Steam crack rather than anything legitimate.

Need 100 posts, I smell scammer— AnthraX

Hook me up.— method3909

looks like a STEAM crack— RecoileZ
