WoW Account Sale Turns into Scam Accusation
A WoW account for sale, an old scam accusation, and a staffer's cryptic apology
NutterNZ posted a WoW Armory link offering to sell his Level 70 Mage in the Other Trades subforum, noting the recovery answer was forgotten and there were no gold reserves included. A couple of members expressed interest but admitted they couldn't afford it, before pyeman jumped in accusing the seller of running the exact same 'forgot the recovery answer' scam on him previously. Staff member mr.N0Nam3 posted a vague apology early in the thread and again at the end, suggesting some moderation or behind-the-scenes resolution happened that isn't fully spelled out in the visible posts.
i wouldnt trust him he scammed me he told me hed forgotten the recoverys aswell anything look familiar in this topic ?— pyeman
sorry for the misunderstanding.— mr.N0Nam3
I'd buy it if I had some cash— waLLa
Selling BangBros Accounts: A Vouch and a Warning
Randy's porn-site account hustle gets a wobbly vouch and a shady warning in the same breath
A short Seller's Lounge listing where VIP member RandyCandy offered adult-site (BangBros) accounts for $5 each, paid upfront via PayPal, no going first. Fellow VIP h4x0rZ chimed in with a jokey vouch calling him a '1337 porn provider,' but VIP OJJ immediately followed up with a caution to buyers about dealing with Randy, leaving the thread hanging on an ambiguous note. A small, quintessential slice of early-2010s forum marketplace culture — low-stakes digital goods, no-escrow trades, and trust built (or broken) entirely on reputation and shoutouts.
Selling bangbros account for $5 each, i check them before i give em to you...uhh i dont go first, pay via paypal all that good shit— RandyCandy
vouch for randy he is a 1337 porn provider :wub:— h4x0rZ
BE CAREFULL WHEN DEALING WITH RANDY, BUY WITH CAUTION D:— OJJ
The Free Steam Account Giveaway That Turned Into a Virus-Accusation Slapfight
A guy quits gaming, gives away his Steam account, and the replies immediately descend into a virus-scan slapfight.
A low-post-count member, figster983, dramatically announced he was quitting gaming and gave away one of his Steam accounts (Half-Life Platinum Pack) via a MegaUpload link. EuphoricMurder grabbed it within minutes, prompting __yess__ to accuse the file of containing viruses and demand a scan, which spiraled into name-calling between the two. A senior member, Afteryou, told everyone to knock it off since it was a free giveaway with no real evidence of malware, and moderator Shifty closed the thread as spam.
Title says it all. Quite frankly, i realized that games have really dominated my life for the past many years.— figster983
thnx for the virusses! ban this fucking faggot DONT DOWNLOAD THIS SHIT!— __yess__
Nobody gives a fuck about your shitty ass Free Account i don't have any intrest in CS/CSS. Have A Nice Day— Afteryou
Combat Arms Hack Leech/Credit Dispute
Someone new registers just to accuse a Combat Arms cheat of being a re-skinned leech job — cue the drama.
A brand-new member, TwinBladez, drops into the Combat Arms section to accuse a released hack of being lifted from Gellin's publicly-released source without credit. The thread devolves into confusion and mild hostility, with regulars questioning who TwinBladez even is and what he's on about, before intelon67 clarifies the accusation: the hack allegedly reused Gellin's public base (originally built with contributions from tim0n, s0beit, ghoster, and others) without crediting anyone. TwinBladez clarifies he wasn't trying to start drama, just asking for credit to be given where due. A small, quintessential 'cheat scene' credit-dispute thread.
nice of him to register just so he can make a new shitty topic— aimshot120
Dont let my post mislead you, all i was saying if it was maybe he should give credits. If you made something would you want it leeched without credit?— TwinBladez
What he's saying is the person (Who's name i forget) used Gellin's public CA base... and claimed it as his(Without giving any creidts to tim0n, s0beit, ghoster, gellin, and some other people)— intelon67
"fucked this guys facebook up" — CandleJack's hidden-content brag thread
A hidden link, a wave of "unhide" pleas, and one member calling out the whole stunt as pointless — classic fkn0wned filler drama.
CandleJack posted a link to someone's Facebook profile with the payoff hidden behind a reply-to-unlock wall, a common bragging format on the forum for showing off an account takeover. The thread mostly filled up with one-word "unhide"/"lol" replies chasing the hidden content, while a couple of older members (TheGrapist, ABACABB) pushed back, questioning why this kind of post kept happening and arguing that going after someone's personal Facebook crossed a line compared to gaming account theft. CandleJack shot back that Steam accounts hold personal info too, so the distinction didn't hold up. It's a small, low-stakes but telling snapshot of the site's Raging subforum culture — half low-effort trolling for clout, half members starting to debate where the line actually was.
owning facebooks is dumb. really.. steal account for steam and shit, but thats peoples personal shit. oh well, maybe ive just gotten older and learned some respect.— ABACABB
and steam doesnt contain personal shit?....— CandleJack
becauze we can— jonneh28
6 Digit Account [HL2 Banned] — Account Swapping
Old-school 6-digit Steam ID, VAC-banned on every Source game but somehow still clean on 1.6 — offers welcome.
A member called AnthraX tries to swap away an old six-digit Steam account (registered back in 2003) that was VAC-banned across the entire Half-Life 2/Source game family but still playable in CS 1.6. The thread turns into a slow-motion back-and-forth of other members debunking ban-scope myths, low-balling with 7 and 8-digit accounts, CD keys, and other games, and the usual 'PM me on AIM/MSN/Xfire' trade small talk typical of the Market Place section. It ends, fittingly for this board, with someone accusing AnthraX of having scammed them.
if ur banned in source ur baned in 1.6— semajxpl
No, You obviously don't know what your talking about...— AnthraX
AnthraX wow scame me more— yomikedurant
Scam Report: Recoilez
A trade gone bad turns into a slur-slinging free-for-all in the scam reports pit.
A user named Maxwell123 opened a scam report against 'Recoilez' in the Market Place > Scam Reports board, back in March 2008. What started as an accusation quickly devolved into personal insults, homophobic slurs, and cross-accusations of scamming between multiple posters, including the accused themselves showing up to deny it. A couple of members chimed in agreeing the accused should be banned, but the thread is mostly remembered (if at all) for its ugly, unmoderated tone rather than any resolution.
Should be banned asap— Zyc3
fuck u nigger i didnt scam u fag— RecoileZ
Dont scam dumb ass— sickness19
Scamming Request Gets Shut Down: Mods Draw Line Between Cracking and Scamming
User asks how to scam on Steam, gets roasted, mods slam the door shut.
A member named sarkiris opened a thread openly asking for a Steam scamming method, and was quickly mocked by regulars who dismissed scamming as beneath the site's cheat/crack culture. A brief back-and-forth touched on why Steam credential stealers were considered outdated due to email confirmation security, before one reply veered into RAT/keylogger territory. A moderator (Lawliet) shut the thread down almost immediately, framing it as the forum's stance that scamming wasn't welcome, distinct from cracking or spreading.
Scam is for fags, just saying. Buy a Steam Stealer.— Fuser
all steam stealers are patched because of email confirmation.— PretjeNL
Scammers suck, learn to crack/spread— Lawliet
Report on Kubenos: Disputed Account Trade Gone Sour
A trade-gone-wrong over a possibly stolen game account ends with the mods slamming the thread shut.
This was a dispute/report thread on the Fkn0wned forum concerning a member named Kubenos, apparently tied to a game account trade that went sour after the account got locked or reclaimed weeks later. Members debated whether Kubenos was at fault, with some pointing out that accounts with 'stolen' or suspicious purchase history are always at risk of being locked or returned to the original owner. A moderator (TripleD) eventually closed the thread with a boilerplate 'nothing more to be done' notice, a fittingly anticlimactic end to a case that was never fully resolved in public view.
LOL,after a month? suddenly after day? you know then you must to take the email with the game to worried then it will be your acc,you have the email with all the purcash proves— dvir4442
Kubenos couldn't know that the account would be retrieved, and there is always a chance that they will when dealing with hacked/Stolen accounts.— InfectedKush
This topic has been closed by a moderator. Reason: Nothing more to be done.— TripleD
Report Against Ghostface — PayPal Dispute Drama
A payment gone missing, a public dispute, and two members airing it out in the open.
A dispute thread aimed at member Ghostface over an alleged unpaid or disputed PayPal transaction tied to some kind of paid service/trade. Ghostface pushed back hard, denying he'd received money and lecturing the reporter for jumping to conclusions, while other members (TripleD, clmZy) got pulled in over names being outed in the thread. Staff member Tripication weighed in with practical PayPal dispute-timeline advice, keeping things fairly measured despite the tension. Ends with the case seemingly closed out.
Please clamzy dont start talking stuff that you dont know, I NEVER RECIEVED THE MONEY, look at the screenshot.— Ghostface
First of all why did you published my name?— TripleD
If he's put it on a dispute it could be weeks for paypal to send you money back.— Tripication
The One About the 2005 Steam Account
An old-school 2005 Steam account, a possible scammer, and admins telling members to name and shame
A short thread on Fkn0wned about someone holding a 2005-era Steam account, apparently tied to a scam or dispute since admin NigelStrawberry weighs in about keeping scammers off the site and encourages a callout thread. Other members chime in with the usual forum banter — one suggesting the account should just be sold for cash, another (a since-banned user going by Avenger) posting a flexing signature-style reply. Small, low-drama exchange, but a good snapshot of the site's mix of admin moderation efforts and casual member chatter around account trading.
Please do make the thread so no one suffers the same fate, and possibly get another account if he realizes consequences or whatever— NigelStrawberry
if i were you I will sell for much money m8!— .:LusTer:.
DONT FUCK WITH ME I AM PANDA!— Avenger
bradboo's RuneScape Account Listing Locked Over Scam Accusation
A RuneScape account sale thread that ended in a scam accusation and a mod's lock hammer
Member bradboo posted in the Market Place trying to sell a 'very high level' RuneScape account, asking interested buyers to drop their MSN contact instead of posting details openly. One reply came in months later from cixxa asking to be added, but founder TuxifieD swiftly closed the thread after bradboo was accused of scamming, citing a failure to follow Market Place rules. A small, forgettable listing that became a minor cautionary footnote in the site's trading history.
Post your msn here and let me add YOU, I WILL NOT ACCEPT.— bradboo
learn to follow the rules, and you are being accused of scamming.— TuxifieD
CS:GO Private Cheat Payment Dispute Thread
Two customers paid for the CS:GO private cheat and got radio silence — until the Owner himself showed up to shut it down.
A member named John complained in the Support section that he'd paid for a CS:GO 'league style' private hack days earlier but received no product or response, despite chasing site owner TuxifieD across Skype, the shoutbox, and another forum (cheatsinc). Another user, kiperxii, chimed in with the same complaint. Staffer Monster tried to smooth things over citing an in-progress client update, and TuxifieD himself closed the loop (and the thread) with a terse confirmation that the client was simply being updated. A small, everyday snapshot of the customer-support friction and trust issues common to private cheat-selling operations of the era.
what's going on is exactly what I told you. Updating the client.— TuxifieD
The best we can all do is hang tight until we hear something— Monster
WAAA wannabe staff-kiddies: rant thread turns into coder recruitment moment
A rant about staff applicants trying too hard turns into an actual coder recruitment moment.
This was a Rants and Raves thread griping about wannabe staff members on the forum, but by page 2 it had shifted into a more constructive exchange: a Smod (Panda) publicly praised a member's coder application, calling it one of the best submissions and effectively endorsing them for the Fkn Coder team pending review by other staff. The applicant then reminisced about their basic VB6 programming background, picked up from tinkering with tick-based text strategy games like Star Kingdoms. It's a small snapshot of how staff recruitment and community drama intertwined on the site.
Seeing your application, it is easily the best for Coder if not just about the best application full stop...— Panda
I used to play text based online strategy games, tick based ones like Star Kingdoms, and making little applications in VB was handy for simulating various strategies and so on.
Bannned
One member just wants to know why c0ke got the axe — staff isn't telling.
A short Suggestions + Feedback thread from November 2007 where user __yess__ asks why forum member c0ke was banned. Co-Manager DCLXVI shuts the question down with a terse non-answer, giving no explanation. A tiny but classic slice of forum mod culture — the ban happened, the reason stayed sealed.
Why is c0ke banned ?— __yess__
You don't need to know.— DCLXVI
Scam Me = Your PC Dies
The classic empty threat thread: mess with my money, I'll melt your motherboard.
A long-running 'Other Raging' thread built around the tough-guy forum trope of threatening to destroy the PC of anyone who scams you. By page 3, the original beef had long faded and it was mostly late arrivals bumping an old thread, including a brand-new member sheepishly apologizing for the gravedig. It ends with a banned user asking for a virus to mess with someone bothering him on MSN, a small snapshot of the era's casual attitude toward 'revenge' tools.
Sorry for gravedigging im just new to this forum, only been a member for a few days.— McLovin!
Anyone wanna give me the VT virus. Some kid on my msn is being a dildo, so I wanna mess his computer up.— Klud
Just Before I Leave!
A banned member's parting shot at the whole forum on the way out the door.
A member posting under a 'Currently Banned' status used his last moment of visibility to unload a farewell rant on the community, calling out members as posers and slamming the forum's drug-and-hacker-culture vibe before signing off with a sarcastic '10 days' countdown. It's a classic minor drama flare-up typical of the Rants and Raves subforum, more spectacle than substance, but a small time-capsule of the forum's rough-edged, insult-trading culture.
I would like to say that i think you are all dumbfucks.— conTagious
guess what your no haxxor and your Pot is cut with glass.— conTagious
Steam Accs :> — German-language cheating beef derails account-sharing thread
A thread meant for sharing Steam accounts devolves into a German-language slap fight over cheating accusations.
Deep into a 6-page thread in the 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum, the original topic of Steam accounts had long given way to a German-language argument between two members, albert90 and Keskin^, trading accusations about who was really cheating and on which servers. The tone is petty and personal rather than technical, typical of the era's forum beef. Keskin^ is listed as a banned user by this point, suggesting the drama had real consequences.
nur weil du auf nubservern rumlufst keskin....geh doch mal auf pro-pubs....da wirs dann nimmer so leicht... und soweit wir wissen bist du noch immer am cheaten keskin..also— albert90
hahaha, Lg mal nicht du *zensiert beim Juden*. Ich spiel auf Attax Pub oder anderen Mid-Pro Servern.— Keskin^
Report For Ph33r1337
A dispute over a stolen account (and unpaid money) plays out in the reports forum
A brief dispute/report thread from the 'Disputes and Reports' area of Fkn0wned, where member clmZy alleges that a user named Ph33r1337 still holds an account taken from him and never paid the money owed. Admin NigelStrawberry follows up to check on the status and reminds users to use the report button for forum issues. clmZy's signature reveals他 was also active as a trader/vouched member and ran side hustles like FileIce referral schemes, typical of the site's grey-market trading culture.
he still posses it...and he haven't get me back the money yet— clmZy
clmZy, did you get the account back or does he still possess it?— NigelStrawberry
Digit-Count Dispute: guidinha vs Adri9102
A digit-count dispute over traded accounts turns into a public 'he lied' callout in the Disputes forum.
A dispute thread from the site's trading/marketplace scene, where user guidinha accused Adri9102 of misrepresenting an account trade (a mismatch over the number of digits on an account) and declared he'd 'go forward' with a report after feeling lied to. Adri9102 pushed back, claiming it was an honest mistake given he managed 'maaany accounts' and didn't have full info on them. Adri9102's profile shows a long-time member (1K Club, joined Feb 2012) with a sizable vouch history from other traders, giving useful context to how these disputes played out against an otherwise trusted trader's reputation.
U trade me one with 8 dig. Never mind i will go foward with this since u lied.— guidinha
u dont understand than i made mistake??? I have got maaany accounts... and i don't have got info about digits...— Adri9102
Teenager Begs Forum to Flood a Rival Site Over Getting Clowned
A teenager asks a hacking forum to nuke a website because forum drama hurt his feelings.
A member named Wtts asked the community to flood or take down an unrelated website (pwctoday.com) as retaliation for being mocked on that other forum. It's a short, petty request typical of early-2010s (and earlier, this one from 2007) gaming forum drama, with only a single reply from nerfmagez before the thread trails off. A small, almost mundane snapshot of forum beef spilling over into requests for disruptive action.
im part of this forum and everyone on the forum thinks their cool cause their older than me and their being douches, so can anyone fuck the site up for me?— Wtts
The Debates Section! - a call-out over low-effort 'debates'
One member torches the Debates subforum for being nothing but 'Beer vs. Chocolait vs. Sex' polls
In this Rants and Raves thread, member Astrea criticizes the forum's Debates section for degrading into pointless, low-effort topics (like Mac vs PC style comparisons, best archiver, best antivirus, etc.) instead of substantive arguments backed by evidence. The post reads as frustration at people using the section to farm posts/points rather than actually debate. Jaska, a retired staff member, replies shortly after, though the reply content itself is cut off. It's a small snapshot of forum culture policing and the eternal tension between quality discussion and point-farming filler threads typical of mid-2000s forums.
These are borderline "debates" and anyone can reply with their mindless bullshit, basically: spamming to get points/posts. Not good enough. RETRY!— Astrea
Marc347's 'Hall of Fame' - Potter Forums Defacement
A member brags about defacing a Harry Potter forum and calls it his first 'Hall of Fame' trophy.
A short 2007 post in the Raging and Advertising section where user Marc347 boasts about defacing an external Harry Potter fan forum, framing it as an achievement worth logging in a personal 'Hall of Fame.' The post includes screenshots and a slow-loading gif as evidence of the defacement, delivered with a smug, dismissive tone toward the target site. It's a small, of-its-era snapshot of the site's brash 'raiding' culture rather than a big community event.
I had to deface this site because Harry Potter forums should not exist.— Marc347
Noname 1, Scammers 0.
A trade goes sideways, and the scam report thread names names.
A short Scam Reports post from 'NoNamE!', a well-known [GT] Smod, calling out a user named 'fringo' for backing out of a trade three times and refusing to use a middleman, with excuses about payment issues. Classic Trading subforum policing — public naming to warn others and protect the community's trade reputation system.
fringo - gone. obvious scam, he's backed out 3 times cause he doesn't want to use a middleman— NoNamE!
Hello, clmZy scam me 5 digit steam accounts.
A member calls out 'clmZy' for allegedly ripping them off on a 5-digit Steam account deal.
A dispute thread from the Fkn0wned Market Place where a user accuses another member, clmZy, of scamming them during a trade for a 5-digit (i.e. old, prestigious) Steam account. Typical of the site's Disputes and Reports section, where members aired grievances over failed or fraudulent trades in the gaming/cheat scene marketplace. The archived page preserves mostly forum navigation and category structure, with the actual dispute details largely lost to time.
Gazzac has been demoted from [FkN]Crew
A crew demotion thread that ran long enough to hit page 2 of drama and reactions.
This 'Minor Updates' thread announced that a member known as Gazzac had been demoted from the [FkN]Crew staff/member group. By page two the discussion was ongoing, with members weighing in on the decision, though the exact reasons and specifics of the fallout aren't preserved in this excerpt. It's a small but telling artifact of how internal rank changes on fkn0wned were publicly logged and discussed rather than handled quietly.
Scam Report: Rawrcake
Page 2 of the Rawrcake scam thread — the drama continues in Support.
This page is the second half of a Support-forum thread titled 'Scam Report: Rawrcake', where a member accused another user (Rawrcake) of scamming them in some kind of trade or deal. The archived text captured here is mostly forum navigation and category chrome, with the actual dispute content not preserved on this page. It sat in the General > Support section, the go-to spot for members to air grievances and call out alleged scammers.
Im sorry.
An apology thread that turned into a mini-referendum on why the guy apologizing wasn't even to blame.
A short-lived General Discussion thread where a member (Nerf, per the closing note) apparently apologized for something involving another site's staff conduct, prompting quick forgiveness from InzaneHacker and pushback from veteran Don Ruski questioning why an apology was even necessary since the person in question wasn't an admin. The thread was closed by moderator NoNamE! with the blunt reason 'no one cares,' capturing the low-stakes, thin-skinned drama typical of the board's off-topic section. Staff member Industry also chimed in near the close.
Apologie accepted. Thx.— InzaneHacker
Why are you apologizing? He's not even an admin on your site, you can't be responsible for what your staff does. Just gives your site a worse name than it already had.— Don Ruski
no one cares.— NoNamE!
Alex's Market Place Vouch Thread Sparks Minor Mod Spat
One member's vouch thread turns into an accidental mini-turf war over who gets to police the reputation system
This is a standard Market Place 'user review' thread where forum member -Alex asked others to vouch for trades they'd done with him, ranging from Steam accounts to a megaupload account and unspecified 'services' and 'logs.' A member named ninjeeking tried to shut the thread down claiming it belonged elsewhere, prompting a testy back-and-forth with -Alex before staff (Kimmi, a Smod) stepped in to confirm the thread was in the correct section. Aside from that brief flare-up, the thread collects a handful of short, positive trade endorsements typical of the site's peer-vouching trust system.
Post here if you've traded with me. Cheers.— -Alex
This actually is the right section for it. Our User Review section is made for these threads.— Kimmi
Don't say "No offence" when you obviously meant to offend him, otherwise you wouldn't have said he failed all the time!— glish
Complexity Holiday Contest Vote Thread
A member asks for votes for his CS team buddy in a 'complexity' holiday contest — and gets called out for advertising
In late December 2007, a member named ForceWithin posted a link asking fellow forum-goers to vote for his friend 'scruff' in a holiday contest hosted on an external CGS site. A few members voted and showed support, but another member flagged it as advertising, sparking a brief back-and-forth about whether asking for votes for a friend counted as spam. A former admin (ForceWithin) pushed back on the advertising accusation, and the thread fizzled out with one member calling the whole exchange pointless.
No advertising.— TeKn1qu3z
Who gives a shit. it's not another hacking site, and honestly its not adsvertising, hes asking some people to vote for his freind.— ballistic
I used to be an admin here, I think I know what advertising is...— ForceWithin
The 'Ultra Hackpack' That Fooled Nobody
A brand-new noob tries to sell a 'universal hackpack' for 50 cents and gets clowned in two replies flat.
A very new member with a grand total of one post pitches a sketchy shortened link claiming to be an all-games hackpack, complete with a bizarre '50 cents for people from UK' pricing pitch. Another member immediately calls out the link as dodgy and unlikely to work, comparing it to a shady rapidshare premium scam. A third poster steps in just to point out the irony of one noob dragging another noob, closing the thread out as a minor bit of forum comedy rather than an actual hack release.
Lol, I found this awesome hackpack on the internet! It really pwnz, I hacked all the games I played and It's only 50 cents for people from UK! Roflmao It pwnz! ftw!— NeetSys
This a joke? That site looks dodgy as hell and none of those will work definitley the rapidshare buy 1 month an convert too 1 year premium..— onlyme
now THIS here is funny, a nub telling off another nub wow— slingblade
Supasta's Steam Acc Shack
A guy tries to open a Steam account shop and immediately gets clowned for not meeting the post minimum
In November 2007, member BASALT posted a thread advertising a 'Steam Acc Shack' for trading Steam accounts, PayPal only. Rather than any trades happening, the thread devolved into other members pointing out BASALT didn't have enough forum posts to legitimately post in the Trading section, with BASALT firing back that others didn't either. Moderators/regulars chimed in to lay out the actual post-count rules for trading threads. A pretty small, forgettable spat that captures the low-stakes gatekeeping culture of the trading boards.
Dude, u do NOT HAVE ENOUGH POSTS to post here.— DeathAdder
nethier do you— BASALT
Don't trade unless you have 100+ posts or if y...— NutterNZ
Anti-Thanks Mod Exploit Callout
A noob tried to publicly expose a hide-content bug to an admin — and got clowned by the guy whose profile he called out
A brand-new member (m4ster, only 6 posts) posted a thread trying to point out a supposed exploit that let users view hidden 'thanks-locked' links without actually thanking the poster, name-dropping a specific member's profile as the example. That member turned out to be PaRaNoID himself, a veteran 1000-club poster, who along with staff regular hunterbrute224 and fellow veteran Paws brushed it off as a long-known, harmless quirk rather than a real bug. The thread was quickly marked closed and answered by PaRaNoID, ending in mild mockery of the OP for making a fuss over nothing.
erm its a known bug.. not really a bug tho— Paws
what a pointless thread seriously this is well known.....— hunterbrute224
its just a bug the admins will fix it— PaRaNoID
Rar Password
SpaZy wanted a password handed to him, got roasted by staff and regulars instead
A short-lived December 2009 thread where member SpaZy asked for help getting into a password-protected RAR file, dodging suggestions to just brute-force it himself. Staff (ap3x, vermiLLion) called out SpaZy's history of low-effort spam posts and warned him about warnings/bans, while another member cheekily revealed the password reference was tied to 'Isabella Valentine.' The thread ends with a regular member declaring the whole thing spam, and it was locked shortly after.
Maybe if you weren't such a spammer and actually read through the rules once or twice, we might have put a sec team member on this.— ap3x
Its from isabella valentine you fucking nerd [<3]— w44s
This thread is full of spam. *sigh*— Torian
hyperdyne's Incoherent 'Holiday Gift' Rant Gets Mocked and Locked
A rambling, incoherent 'holiday gift' post about eBay exploits got roasted and locked in ten minutes flat.
A brand-new one-post member named hyperdyne showed up on December 28, 2009 with a garbled, aggressive holiday-themed rant vaguely referencing web exploitation techniques, framed as a 'gift' to the community. The regulars were unimpressed — skramguts and deX- mocked the incoherence and the attached joke file, and staff member vermiLLion shut the thread down within the hour. A classic, forgettable one-off drive-by post that got dunked on and locked, capturing the forum's low tolerance for nonsense from new accounts.
happy fucking holidays.— hyperdyne
You sir, are a retard, i say that only with every section of my body filling with care.— deX-
Closed.— vermiLLion
The Puzzle Pirates Account Request That Went Nowhere
A guy wanted a rich Puzzle Pirates account 'with lots of money and dubloons' and got roasted for it instead.
A short-lived thread in the Requests subforum where member ynaggo asked for a loaded Puzzle Pirates account, only to be mocked by shadon1nja for expecting handouts. A minor back-and-forth ensued, with ynaggo doubling down before the conversation fizzled out. Classic low-stakes forum bickering typical of the Red Light District's Requests board, where entitled asks often met blunt pushback.
id love one a one with lots of money and dubloons and i mean alot— ynaggo
Um, why the hell do you think someone would just give you an account? Are you really that stupid?— shadon1nja
some accounts can be hexxed u fuck— ynaggo
hav0k's reviews! (ckgx attention-seeking thread shut down)
A guy named ckgx tried to start his own review thread — under a title that wasn't even his username.
A short, mostly dead-on-arrival thread in the Market Place > User Review board where member ckgx posted asking others to leave reviews of him, oddly titled after a different user, 'hav0k.' It was immediately shut down by [FkN] Security Crew member kasper5150 calling it attention-seeking, with ckgx firing back a single sarcastic reply before the topic fizzled out with no further posts.
Post reviews of me. :]— ckgx
no gtfo attention whore— kasper5150
Cute.— ckgx
Rapidshare Download Direct 1.14 - Version Squabble
Two members claim the same download tool, argue over version numbers, someone catches a virus
A member named prinz posted a 'cracked' download-accelerator tool for Rapidshare, only to get called out by InzaneHacker for reposting a duplicate of a thread InzaneHacker had already put up. A minor spat broke out over whether the tool was actually a newer '1.14' or just a mislabeled '1.04', with other members jumping in to enjoy the 'cat fight.' One user reported getting a virus from the download and another complained about corrupted archive files, adding a dose of typical Red Light District software-sharing chaos to the thread.
Dude Prinz... I already posted it o.O— InzaneHacker
ooo cat fight lol— scuddzilla
i got a virus from this or downloading something using this...— c0rpsegrinder
NEED THESE FORUMS FUCKED!
Someone wanted a rival forum nuked into oblivion — nobody could even remember why.
A short-lived rant thread in the Other Raging subforum where user Jebus AUS called out an unnamed rival forum, declaring fkn0wned 'is not a fucking request website.' The thread fizzled fast with members shrugging that they didn't know what the target site had even done wrong, one poster noting its offender was already banned, and a two-month gap before Fringo bumped it just to get called out for a 'nice gravedig' by AcidViper. Low-effort, low-stakes raging typical of the board's Other Raging section.
fkn0wned is not a fucking request website.— Jebus AUS
what have these guys done so wrong— Uncensor3d
Nice gravedig Fringo.— AcidViper
WebKillers.com - Annoyed Much, Bitches!
One member's petty little proxy prank on a rival cheat site turns into a bragging-rights screenshot dump.
In this short thread from the 'Other Raging' subforum, member Pytheas shares screenshots detailing a minor prank/annoyance campaign against the rival site WebKillers.com, using a proxy tool to mess with them without actually hacking anything. The post is framed as a low-stakes 'gotcha' against a competing cheat community, complete with a jab about the target's account-blocking response. A couple of other members chime in casually, with one claiming a personal connection to the WebKillers.com owner, and another offering a quick nod of approval.
My first attempt to annoy - didnt hack them, but annoyed none the less. Oh, and can you say FoxyProxy bitches!— Pytheas
lol i no the guy who owns webkillers.com— mystical1
Very nice. Good job.— wirmware
hitmanre's Marketplace Reputation Thread
One trader vouches, another calls him slow — a classic Market Place he-said-he-said over an MW2 key deal.
This was a personal reputation/vouch thread in the Market Place > User Review section, created for member hitmanre to collect feedback on trades. Most responses were positive, with members confirming legit CD key trades (notably an MW2 key deal), but one user, fkngames, publicly pushed back claiming hitmanre was slow to respond and difficult to trade with, prompting a brief back-and-forth denial from hitmanre. A staff Smod (PopTart) chimed in to back hitmanre's legitimacy, giving the thread a bit of an air of resolved drama by the end.
traded for mw2 key. the key was legit, would do business with again.— Shiney
I wouldn't do business with him, he takes way too long to answer, trade and so on— fkngames
dude i never even traded with u lol— hitmanre
Selling or Trading a Sealed DOOM3 Expansion Pack
Guy flips a $9 thrift-store DOOM3 expansion, gets instantly accused of scamming
A short, small-time trading thread in Fkn0wned's 'Other Trades' subforum where member Industry offered up an unopened DOOM3 expansion pack he claimed to have picked up for $9 at a Salvation Army store. Fellow member jcomp6 immediately called BS, demanding proof it was still sealed, prompting Industry to post photos of the item to back up his claim. A tiny, mundane slice of the forum's trading culture — the kind of low-stakes haggling and reflexive skepticism that filled the trading boards between the bigger cheat and account trades.
any offers, i bought for 9 bucks at salvation army store— Industry
9 bucks as if more like you scammed it, show some pics of this un opened case— jcomp6
dumbshit...proof is here:— Industry
riot. — avatar dispute derails Rants and Raves, thread closed
A rant thread called 'riot.' spiraled into avatar drama and got shut down for personal flames.
A thread in the Rants and Raves subforum, aptly titled 'riot.', devolved from general venting into a squabble over who originally made/used a particular avatar, dragging in members like Afteryou, ri0t, and Industry. A moderator (DCLXVI) ultimately closed the thread, citing that it had become 'stupid' and that personal flames aren't allowed under the Rants forum rules. The Moose chimed in near the end wondering aloud why an argument about avatars had taken over a rant topic, and NoNamE! (a Supervisor) also appears in the closing posts.
Stupid topic, personal flames are NOT allowed.— DCLXVI
So, where's this topic's going? First of all, No name broke the FkN rules and should be warned/banned. Secondly, what the fuck is up with everyone talking about peoples avatars and wtf.— The Moose
inzane ripped off afteryou...afteryou was the 1337 one here— Industry
Failed Pitch for a Steam Scamming Group
One member's big pitch for a 'scamming group' gets shot down by the forum in real time
A low-post-count member (MicroUltra) proposes forming a group dedicated to scamming, asking for 8-15 people to join. The idea is immediately and near-unanimously rejected by established members, who point out it wouldn't work, that participants' accounts would just get disabled, and that it was a pointless/duplicate thread (HaSh notes he'd already posted the same idea elsewhere). The thread fizzles out into agreement that the plan is a bad one.
no— pyeman
and any one that joins will get there account disabled— pyeman
If the group was made it would probably fail miserably, and this thread is slowly failing too— Legit_Hacks
TF2 Trade Scam Accusation Thread Gets Instantly Mod-Locked
A TF2 item trade that never happened turned into a scammer accusation, a wrong-section post, and a mod slamming the door shut.
User edd1z posted a chat log accusing another user (sevaN, suspected to be 'tr1ckz') of trying to scam him in a TF2 item trade negotiation, but the log mostly shows mutual suspicion over who would 'go first.' Other members quickly pointed out there was no actual proof of scamming and that the thread was posted in the wrong section entirely. Staff moderator NIX closed the topic almost immediately for lacking evidence and being off-topic, a fairly routine but classic example of an unresolved accusation thread getting shut down fast.
i think that you trin' to scam me— Eddi Katz (edd1z)
just because he diddnt wanna go first doesnt mean hes a scammer /facepalm.— OJJ
There is no proof of scamming here, plus this isn't the section for it, hence why this topic is closed now.— NIX
SneakyJoker's Steam Account Sale Thread (Marketplace)
A guy hawking a dozen Steam accounts by the digit-count, until a VIP shows up to slap him with the rulebook
A Market Place thread from August 2009 where user SnEaKyJoKER listed a batch of Steam accounts (labeled by 7 or 8-digit IDs) for sale, complete with game libraries and asking prices, offering bulk discounts and payment via PayPal. It reads as a fairly routine account-flipping post typical of the era's gaming forums. Almost immediately, VIP member shad0wz clapped back telling him to read the rules, linking to the board's actual regulations, suggesting the listing broke Market Place posting requirements.
READ THE FUCKING RULES— shad0wz
Sell in bulks cheaper.. might be 20 per acct or so.. let me know— SnEaKyJoKER
Rival Hacking Site Ad Shut Down in Under an Hour
A member tried to plug a rival hacking site — and got shut down in under an hour.
A short-lived thread in the Counter-Strike 1.6 General section where user Furyx advertised an outside 'hacking community' for people to check out and register at. Staff member HaSh moderated in quickly, and the thread was closed by DCLXVI the same day, citing the rule against advertising other hack sites. A minor, routine moderation moment typical of the tight competition and rivalry between cheat-scene forums of the era.
A Hacking Community , come check and register at their site— Furyx
Pointless thread starter— HaSh
IM BACK!! (page 2)
A dramatic 'I'm back' announcement thread turns into a pile-on over a months-old bump.
This is the tail end of a General Discussion thread where a returning member's 'I'm back!!' announcement got called out as attention-seeking for reviving an old topic. Sammo and Paws pile on the original poster ('The Blue'), with some light mockery over word-count in the back-and-forth. Pretty low-stakes forum drama, typical of the era's off-topic bickering.
This guy's a prick he bumps his old topic from months ago the attention seeking wanker.— Sammo
@ The Blue, while he used like 4 words to diss u, you used like a whole paragraph of junk.— Paws
BF2 Aimbot Ad Gets Instantly Clowned
One-post-and-you're-toast: a rookie tries to advertise a rival cheat site and gets clowned in two replies flat.
A low-post-count member drops into the Battlefield: 2 subforum with a one-line plug for an outside cheat site, thinly disguised as a 'bf2 aimbot' thread. It gets shut down almost instantly by veteran members mocking the attempt, with one pointing out that self-advertising off-site links wasn't allowed (Source-Industries being the sanctioned exception). A tiny, forgettable thread that's really just a snapshot of forum policing in action.
hahahahahah you fail.— Peski-Ruski
lol your not ment to advertise the only site you can is source-industries but then they are teh pwnage— retarded_elephant69
FPS Banana, Dumbshits
One member's skin uploads got nuked by FPSBanana moderators, and the forum did not take it well.
A short rant thread in the Rants and Raves section where user hunterbrute224 complains that FPSBanana rejected several of his uploaded skins, including Fkn0wned-branded ones, flagging them as suspicious. He frames it as evidence that FPSBanana's moderators had it out for the Fkn0wned community specifically. Bucketface chimes in early, though the visible exchange cuts off before much back-and-forth develops. It's a small, petty inter-community grievance typical of early skin/mod-sharing site rivalries.
Bunch of cockbags if you ask me.— hunterbrute224
They really hate us over there— hunterbrute224
