Do Your Best on r0ss: The Staff-Organized Harassment Contest
A founder posted a stranger's home address, bank details and phone number as the prize pool for whoever could 'best attack' him.
A staff-organized contest thread where founder TuxifieD posted personal information belonging to someone named 'r0ss' and offered lifetime VIP, staff status, and a donated Steam account to whoever pulled off the best prank/attack against him. Members eagerly piled in with schemes ranging from email bombing and prank calls to sending unwanted mail and DNA test kits, treating it as a group game with screenshots as 'proof'. The thread is a stark, unfiltered snapshot of the forum's harassment-as-entertainment culture, with admins and longtime members (ap3x, NIX, ZoaQ) actively encouraging and judging the 'attacks'.
The winner who does the best attack on r0ss, wins vip for himself and 4 of his friends (LIFETIME) along with the option to become staff.— TuxifieD
YOU MUST PROVIDE PROOF— ap3x
This thread seems to deliver. I WANNA SEE MORE RESULTS :D— k3anan
The c0ke Callout: Leaked Exposé on tux and fkn0wned's Founding Drama
A simple 'where do I download CS:S' thread turns into a leaked exposé on fkn0wned's own founder
This long-running thread started as a routine request/share thread for a non-Steam version of Counter-Strike: Source, with members trading quick thanks and one-liners as pages rolled by. By page 8 it derails hard when banned user |-noodle-| reposts a lengthy callout post, originally written by former fkn0wned head admin 'c0ke,' accusing site owner 'tux' of years of unpaid promises, skimmed VIP money, fake contests, and betrayal of the admins who helped build the site. The post airs a lot of internal site drama — money disputes, a database backup used as leverage, and fallout among former staff — giving a rare inside look at how the forum's leadership actually operated behind the scenes.
A lot of people have been asking me why I was banned at fkn0wned. I have probably all given them slightly different reasons so I have decided to write up my account of what happened— c0ke (quoted by |-noodle-|)
He knew that if he kicked me from fkn0wned that I could easily make it die so he kept me on.— c0ke (quoted by |-noodle-|)
i found this at MPCforums thought it might make for interesting reading for some of the members here. what do you think of this Tux?— |-noodle-|
ZaksterNZ gets his MSN, Hotmail, and Bebo jacked by NutterNZ
"i done it" — the confession that turned a betrayal into forum legend
A member going by ZaksterNZ posted a farewell/venting thread claiming his MSN account was stolen and sold to a stranger who used it to show off on webcam, saying he'd lost faith in the site and expected to be banned. The post included a pasted MSN chat log where he directly confronted fellow member Nutter, who casually admitted to hacking him over an unpaid 5 million RuneScape gold debt, walking through how he used a phishing site to also grab his Hotmail, WoW, and Bebo logins. The reveal that Nutter did it 'for the funds' owed, plus his blunt cyber-sass, made this an instant comedy/drama thread, with staff and members piling on to mock ZaksterNZ for getting outplayed.
i done it— Nutter
usally when i hack people well use phihsing site i go in their email see what they have emails from and steal— Nutter
LMAO, I seriously have to say, you got owned by NutterNZ. I'm not joking lol.— DCLXVI
The niwa-online Raid: 'Help Me Fuck These Bitches Up'
A member cracks a rival forum wide open, posts the loot, and the site goes dark by page two.
User l3m0nz shows up bragging about having broken into another gaming forum (niwa-online.com), having posted spam/offensive content there and gotten banned, then dumps session/account data and a step-by-step cookie-editing method so other members could log in as hijacked accounts. Regulars pile on approvingly, someone confirms they 'did their bit,' and within a day the target forum is reported offline entirely, which the thread treats as a trophy. Staff member HaSh chimes in casually endorsing browser cookie-editing as a go-to move for 'xploitable' sites, giving a glimpse of how normalized this kind of raiding was on the board.
help me fuck these bitches up.— l3m0nz
did my bit ;D— pyeman
This is why I use opera, cookie editing is the shit, especially when you get some gay ass site that is xploitable up the ass, grab any hash you want.— HaSh
r0ss's cell phone
Someone pissed off the wrong forum, so his phone number went up for the whole board to dial
Founder TuxifieD posted a member named r0ss's mobile number as payback for him 'running his mouth,' and the thread quickly turned into a pile-on: members traded dialing codes for calling from abroad, bragged about SMS-bombing him, prank calls, and posting to 4chan, while one poster escalated by asking for his 'credit card dox.' By the next day r0ss had apparently stopped answering calls once people mentioned the site's name, and posters were reveling in the chaos as a highlight of the forum. It's a blunt snapshot of the site's harassment-as-entertainment culture, dressed up as internal drama/revenge rather than a technical thread.
Well he keeps running his retarded mouth so here is his mobile/cellphone number— TuxifieD
He's kinda gettin sick of us lol, we been callin him non stop. As soon as i mentioned fkn0wned he didnt answer my calls nomore =(— aimshot120

r0ss's Real Info, From Nix
Fkn0wned crew doxxes a rival forum owner mid-MSN chat and turns it into a public victory lap
This is a classic rivalry-fueled doxx thread from a beef between the Fkn0wned/[FkN] crew and a competing site called nubsite.com, run by a member referred to as r0ss (and associated with 'kirby'). NIX posts personal details allegedly pulled from r0ss's PayPal/accounts along with an MSN conversation log where NIX, TuxifieD, and others mock r0ss and his site, pass his info around to other members as a joke ('send him love letters'), and needle 'kirby' about nubsite's PayPal use and coding claims. The thread devolves into celebratory trash talk, inside jokes, and crew members (PopTart, Kimmi, ap3x, KZA) piling on with 'sweet revenge' commentary — framed explicitly as retaliation after a year of inter-site tension.
revenge feels good— NIX
SWEEEEEEEET REVENGE— Kimmi
good job guys hahah r0ss got raped in his tiny asshole— Speedo
9/10 Top Posters Are Banned... (fkn0wned vs thec0re Flare-Up)
A thread cataloguing the site's own purge turns into a full-blown tC vs Fkn0wned rivalry flare-up.
A general discussion thread pointing out that most of the forum's top posters had been banned spirals into a rehash of old beef between Fkn0wned and a rival community called thec0re (tC). A veteran uploader chimes in dismissively, while a low-post-count account claiming to represent tC leadership shows up to declare the 'war' long over and disavow any current tC members stirring drama on Fkn0wned. The tone is classic mid-2000s forum turf-war posturing, laced with insults and bravado.
All this 'war' between tC and Fkn finished ages ago, the only people causing more conflict are the noobs from my forum that still can't get enough of fkn.— thec0re
You may ban my account if it hurts your feelings.— thec0re
Okay. ill prove it. there nubs. there. gg.— KZA
Venomz1337 Scam Callout Turns Into Doxing/DDoS Mob
A trusted VIP allegedly scammed the community for over $1000 in items — and the thread that followed turned into a doxing-and-DDoS revenge mob in real time.
InfectedKush accused fellow member Venomz1337 of scamming multiple users out of high-value items (one member, alexexit, claims to have lost $1200) and rallied the forum to retaliate with IP lookups and DDoS threats. Venomz1337 showed up mid-thread to taunt the community, deny wrongdoing, and frame it as long-simmering revenge against owner TuxifieD over a falling-out years prior. The thread spirals into doxing attempts — posted alleged name, age, location, email — plus talk of police reports and Steam Support, while owner TuxifieD and other members pile on with mockery. It's a messy, dramatic microcosm of the forum's scam/callout culture near its twilight.
Give him the ip lol,that fucker needs to die— DonStefano
I've been waiting for this since the day I joined. Ever since I've been fucked over by Fkn0wned I was looking for revenge.— Venomz1337
Why don't people listen to me and use me as a middle man. Blows my mind.— TuxifieD
How Can We Save Fkn0wned? (The thec0re.net Raid Thread)
A member begged the admins to save the dying forum — then a rival spammed the thread into oblivion promoting thec0re.net instead.
Long-running (10-page) thread in the Suggestions + Feedback section where a member named abstract1337 pleaded with staff and founders to revive the declining fkn0wned.com community, offering to help however he could. The thread's later pages descended into pure raid/spam territory, with a user called 'usafa' flooding dozens of consecutive posts mocking the site as a 'failure' and repeatedly plugging a rival forum, thec0re.net, while another member (bunbuidoi) also chimed in promoting the same site. The thread stands as a visible marker of fkn0wned's decline and the migration of its userbase toward thec0re.net.
How can we save this community? I'll do anything to get this back and rolling like it was before.— abstract1337
ha ha ha fkn failure, go to thec0re.net— usafa
WHERE DA COOL PEOPLE GO!— bunbuidoi
Real Life Items (Worldwide Shipping) — Venomz1337's Sale That Turned Out to Be a Scam
An 'oldie' member ran a whole electronics store on skins — then vanished with the goods.
Venomz1337, described as a trusted long-time member, ran a marketplace thread selling real-life electronics (phones, laptops, GPUs, gaming peripherals) exclusively for CS:GO skins, claiming discounted shipping through his dad's job at a courier company. Members lined up to buy, offered 'vouches', and some items were marked sold, but the thread was ultimately retitled and closed by staff as a scam after Venomz1337 was banned. The owner TuxifieD repeatedly reminded people to use a middleman for big purchases — advice that, in hindsight, this thread became the cautionary example for.
SCAMMER - TOPIC CLOSED. AS ALWAYS PLEASE USE A MIDDLEMAN... THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITH A MIDDLE MAN. BYE TO AN OLD MEMBER WHO TURNED OUT TO BE A DIRT BAG.— TuxifieD
#VOUCH for Venomz <3— PotatoRain
I'd just like to say thanks to all the guys that understand me and are not being dicks about all this... Thanks all <3— Venomz1337
"Ex Girlfriend's Facebook" — Revenge Thread
A breakup went nuclear when one member turned to the forum crew to help trash his ex's Facebook and email — and the crowd cheered him on.
This was a 'Raging' section thread where a longtime member (vermiLLion) vented about a breakup and revealed he'd gained access to his ex's email and Facebook accounts, asking the community for ideas on what to do with it. Other regulars piled on with encouragement, jokes, and increasingly ugly suggestions, and personal details were posted openly in the thread before a moderator (NIX) eventually locked it. It's a stark, unfiltered snapshot of the forum's darker 'raging' culture — equal parts dark humor, community bonding, and casual harassment that was treated as entertainment at the time.
I don't have access to the PC itself but i have both of her emails and facebook. Idk what else i can do with that and I'm getting the sec team to help me do some more stuff =]— vermiLLion
im sorry to hear that bro fuck her up. ruin her life, make it a living hell to get up every morning and go to school/work.— Emrys
Damn I love when u niggers start diggin up shit /closed— NIX
NuTech Defaces Sythe.org, Brags in Off-Topic
One member claims he rooted a rival forum and screenshotted the wreckage for the boys
In this Off-Topic thread from October 2008, member NuTech claimed to have gained admin access to the large gaming/RWT forum Sythe.org and defaced it, posting a screenshot as proof and mentioning he'd also dropped an advertisement post there. The thread is short and celebratory, with fellow members and staff (including founder TuxifieD and smod Afteryou) chiming in with approval and jokes rather than skepticism. It's a classic snapshot of the era's forum rivalry and bragging-rights culture, where site defacements were treated as entertainment and clout.
Random site, but fcking huge (look at the total of members and post). I got admin access and bombed the hell out of this site.— NuTech
haha, fkn0wned fuckin raaaaaaaaaaaaape!!!— Master Dude
hmmm nice very,,— Afteryou
Nerf's Farewell Thread: "I Quit"
A staffer says he got trojaned, robbed, and DDoS'd off the vent server — then writes the community a goodbye letter, shoutouts and all.
Longtime member and staffer Nerf posted a dramatic resignation thread in March 2008, saying he'd been trojaned, had credit card info stolen, and was tired of dealing with mass Ventrilo bans and DDoS attacks tied to the site. He asked to be demoted from staff, announced he'd change all his contact info, and gave a long list of personal shoutouts thanking (and ribbing) various members. The thread fills up with the community's reaction — a mix of genuine sadness, jokes, disbelief that he'd really stay gone, and a couple of people needling him for being left off the shoutout list. It's a classic 'drama exit' thread typical of small hack-scene forums of the era, capturing both the site's tight-knit vibe and its rough security reputation.
Today I quit thec0re because of security issues. I've been trojaned and even my credit card information was released— Nerf
well nerf what can u expect when its a hacking community and we got people posting keyloggers and exploits and so on— Afteryou
He'll be back. They always come back. *Attaches a big fat GPS tracking device to his leg* You'll come back. <3— James
SCAM ALERT: Misterfopje Banned Over PayPal Scam
The day a live-support staffer got caught scamming a member out of $100 — and fkn0wned's founder had to publicly clean it up.
Founder TuxifieD posted a public warning that a member/staffer going by Misterfopje (real name given as John Fopj) had scammed at least one member out of $100 USD via PayPal through the site's live support channel. Anyone who'd sent money to him or his email was told to come forward for a refund, and the community was reassured that only Jason A. should be trusted for non-CCBill payments going forward. The thread closes with an update that the funds were fully recovered, a small win for site trust in the cheat-scene marketplace era. Smod ZoaQ chimed in shortly after, showing staff closing ranks quickly on the issue.
This guy has scammed you and is removed from live support and fkn0wned.— TuxifieD
Update: We were able to recover the users funds completely.— TuxifieD
"Do not fuck with us." — c0ke's VIP Warning Shot
Staff drops a warning shot at the VIP crowd — four pages of fallout ensued.
A News + Updates post from founding staff member c0ke, dated May 2007, opens with a blunt warning aimed at VIP members, kicking off a thread that ran four pages long. The tone is confrontational, suggesting some kind of internal beef between site staff and the VIP tier of the community. As one of the earliest posts (Member No. 1), it captures the site's brash, no-nonsense early culture typical of mid-2000s cheat-scene forums.
Do not fuck with us.— c0ke
SubZr0's 'This Site Is Dead, Unless I Fix It' Ultimatum
A banned noob declares himself the site's savior and demands an admin promotion — the forum was not impressed.
A newly banned, low-post-count member named SubZr0 posted a grandiose ultimatum claiming he was one of the most influential people in keeping Fkn0wned alive, and that his two-week ban proved the site was 'dying.' He called out several staff/members by name (Shifty, Niggorex, Jaska), demanded to be made an admin, and threatened vague consequences if the community didn't rally behind him. Established members Arcade and HaSh quickly pushed back, questioning what he had actually contributed and mocking the timing and tone of his post. The thread reads as a classic overblown forum-drama self-promotion attempt that gets deflated almost immediately by regulars.
This site is dead, Unless I fix it— SubZr0
You say I have no right to talk to you the way I did? I say you have no right to talk to me any way but respectuflly becuase I am human and I have helped this place.— SubZr0
What have you done for FkN0wned and what do you want to do for FkN0wned?— Arcade
Shinobix's Shop — The MW2 Key Scam That Got Its Title Rewritten by a Mod
A CD-key shop thread that started with 'add me on MSN' and ended with three separate buyers saying they never got what they paid for.
This was a Market Place vendor thread where member Shinobix advertised game keys and accounts (MW2, CoD4, StarCraft 2 beta keys, Steam/CSS accounts) for sale, with interested buyers dropping their MSN addresses to negotiate deals privately. Early replies look like normal trading chatter, but the thread sours fast: multiple buyers (Seramal, zuppy, Gramdtante) report paying for MW2 keys and never receiving them, and Gramdtante flags Shinobix as 'very likely a scammer.' The topic's own title was later edited by a moderator (lam3r) to brand the original poster a scammer impersonating staff, and the thread was locked. Even a site Founder (TuxifieD) had popped in earlier asking to buy a beta key, unaware of what was coming.
Hey. I'm a faggot scammer. I like to impersonate staff. Please ignore me and spam my email.— Shinobix (edited by lam3r)
Very likely a scammer, trade with caution.— Gramdtante
Just like to say, i payed for 4 mw2 keys and its been 24 hours and i still havent got them..— Seramal
The $1000 187ci Bribe That Wasn't
A rival cheat site offered FkN's own designer $1000 to jump ship — he turned it down flat, on the record.
A short News + Updates post from Head Admin Bisdale calls out '187ci' for allegedly offering FkN graphics guy memOrex $1000 USD to build them a website. memOrex backs it up by pasting his own chat log refusing the offer, dismissing 187ci with a curt 'GG NO RE.' The tone is pure early-2000s scene bravado — loyalty flex dressed up as a public burn on a competing cheat site.
Unfortunately FkN members don't sell out for shit money.— [FkN] Bisdale
187 suck kthx— [FkN] memOrex.
GG NO RE— [FkN] memOrex.
[fkn]Converter — the file conversion tool that phoned home
User posts a 'converter' tool, nobody can figure out what it converts, turns out it was quietly dialing a remote server — thread locked within days.
A member named saz shared a small utility called '[fkn]Converter' in the Programming subforum, but nobody could pin down what it actually converted files to. Staff and regulars grew suspicious of the vague description, and after a VirusTotal check and further scrutiny, a moderator confirmed the file was backdoored and tried connecting to an outside IP. The download link was pulled and the thread locked, with a standing warning that Fkn0wned staff hadn't vetted the file before it went up.
Closed because application is backdoored and tries to connect to another ip adress.— lam3r
Don't download it, it's a virus.— linkkrw
I still don't understand what this is supposed to convert files to...— lam3r
AuraStomper Crypter 0/24 100% FUD (by IDONTuseLOTION)
A '100% undetected' crypter release that aged into a full-detect trojan drop right in front of everyone — thread locked with a 'DO NOT DOWNLOAD!'
In the Programming subforum, a low-post-count member named IDONTuseLOTION released a crypter tool called 'AuraStomper,' claiming a clean 0/24 scan result and instructing readers to only verify it on one specific scanning site. A crew member immediately called out the suspicious post-count and site-specific scan advice as a red flag. Weeks later another member re-scanned the file and posted a fresh multi-engine report showing it now flagged widely as a trojan dropper/backdoor, confirming the original suspicion. A moderator ('Speedo') closed the thread with a blunt warning not to download it, making this a small but clear-cut case study in the forum's crypter/FUD-scene skepticism and self-policing.
You have how many posts? And your telling us to scan only on a certain website because it will be positive if it isn't scanned on that site, LOL.— vermiLLion
oh.— heyitsmike
DO NOT DOWNLOAD! Closed— Speedo
Jonesyyf's Account Recovery & Account Dump Drama
A VIP gets his account hacked, gets it back, then celebrates by dropping a huge dump of stolen accounts for the whole board to pick over.
Longtime VIP member Jonesyyf returns to announce his account had been hijacked by an ex-member named Junyerr, who reportedly impersonated him and caused trouble before getting 'busted.' To mark his return he dumped a large batch of login credentials for others to grab, then followed up with a second haul found on his web host. The thread quickly turns into members bickering over who 'greedily' took too many accounts, with admins and mods ribbing thejah for allegedly hoarding, plus some cheap shots at the hacker Junyerr.
dont be greedy guys, take one and leave the rest dont be faggots.— TuxifieD
We've learned two things here. thejah = greedy faggot. junnyer = retard who should get killed by fire.— Kimmi
wtf u guys dont even kno how i took u guys r just making assumsions like always— thejah
Hacked? — The Great rsforum.net Raid Plot
Fkn0wned wasn't hacked, it was just spammed — so naturally the crew planned to go do it to the other guys instead
A short-lived scare thread from October 2008: the site went down briefly and Insanityrains assumed a hack, but staff (Penguin, TuxifieD) clarified it was just a spam flood that got cleaned up in seconds. The conversation quickly pivoted into members organizing a coordinated spam raid against a rival forum, rsforum.net, with several members volunteering to help via MSN messenger (spam only, not DDoS, per a couple of members' stated ethics). Classic mid-2000s forum-war energy — mods downplaying the incident while the userbase got hyped to retaliate.
We weren't hacked..We were just spammed. Took me like 2 seconds to make the threads disappear.— Penguin
Im down for spamming, but no ddos'ing. Pm me so we can get coordinated and rape each and every section ;)— -Darkness-
Wait, everyone make an account and do it simultaneously— Skippy
I buy MSX and this shit happens! - MSXSecurity Complaint Thread
Paid $100 for 'undetected' MSX cheats, got VAC banned, and the drama that followed
Member xJumper recounts paying $100 to MSXSecurity for a paid Battlefield/CS:S 'Mist system' cheat, only to get VAC banned shortly after, then getting banned from MSX's own forums after questioning them and getting a PayPal refund. The thread doubles as a promo moment for rival seller SourceIndustries.Net, which forum regular mr.N0Nam3 vouches for as being run by Fkn0wned's own site owner (tuxified). It's a classic cheat-scene consumer-drama post: buyer's remorse, accusations of shady reselling practices, and community members steering business toward the 'trusted' in-house vendor.
NEVER BUY ANYTHING OFF MSXSECURITY!!!— xJumper
You knew the risks, now deal with it!— xJumper (quoting MSX admin)
SOURCEINDUSTRIES!!! should buy from their, and tuxified fkn0wned's owner runs it so you wont get fucked over— mr.N0Nam3
I have a stolen CPL account.
A guy openly asks the forum how to best exploit a stolen CPL pro's Steam account — VAC ban it for the lulz, or sell it back?
In this 2007 General Discussion thread, user !nv!s!on announces he's obtained the login credentials for a Steam account belonging to a CPL (Cyberathlete Professional League) player, taken without consent, and asks the forum whether he should get it VAC banned, sell it back, or both. The thread splits into a debate: some members (laptops, HaSh, c0ke, conTagious, Shifty) argue against ruining an innocent player's competitive reputation or warn !nv!s!on is untrustworthy, while others (PaRaNoID, Visual0n!, sorbazz) egg him on purely for the 'rage' factor of watching a legit player get banned. The thread ends ambiguously with Janza revealing he'd privately advised !nv!s!on off the idea. A fairly raw, ethics-optional snapshot of the era's account theft and 'raging' culture on the forum.
na imo, dont VAC it, he aint done nuffin to you, jus sell it back to him— laptops
who cares laptops if you want the ultimate rage vac it then sell it back to him who gives a flying fuck about cpl there just a bunch of nerds— PaRaNoID
Don't get it vacced and don't give it to these retards. Keep it for yourself.— c0ke
One of the Accounts You Hacked!
A first-time poster wanders into fkn0wned asking for his stolen account back — and gets laughed out of the thread.
A newcomer named bahaha posts asking for his hacked account to be returned, explaining he'd been sent a fake 'movie' file (actually a keylogger) after a member called Whitey/'The Puppet Master' got compromised. Established members respond with blunt indifference and dark humor, framing account theft and reselling as just business as usual on the site. Regulars speculate the culprit was 'Vexed'/VexD, described jokingly as a steam account vendor, while others needle the newcomer for expecting sympathy on his first post.
We steal...we sell...we pwn. That's how the whole scene is going on.— nasKo
Fkn0wned can be so cruel sometimes— Dimitri0s
VexD won't give it back, he's a steam acc vendor not a man:P— Skippy
Anybody wanna bomb this girls facebook?
Sylox asked fkn0wned to mass-harass some girl's Facebook — nearly a year later, she showed up in the thread herself to tell him off
Sylox opened a thread asking members to 'bomb' a named girl's Facebook and posted her phone number over some unspecified drama about her 'getting involved' in his business. The community's response was mostly mockery rather than support — other members told him this wasn't 4chan, that the forum wasn't his 'personal army,' and pointed out the irony that she hadn't actually targeted the forum, he had targeted her. Nearly ten months later the thread got a second life when the girl herself (posting as a guest) found it and posted an angry rebuttal, which drew a bit of amusement before staff locked the topic for violating the 'not your personal army' rule.
if you want a personal army go to 4chan. we don't do charity work. :D— k3anan
Giving out my number is not gonna accomplish much sweetie, so how about you seriously think about shutting that whore mouth of yours— Guest_lolatlosers_
this bitch hunted you down— TuxifieD
Using Stolen Credit Card Online
A member casually asks the forum how to use a stolen credit card without getting caught — the replies did not go well for him.
Posted in General Discussion in December 2007, a member named Enigma asked whether a proxy would help reduce the risk of using a stolen credit card online. The thread quickly turned into a pile-on, with regulars and staff warning him about fraud charges, mocking the idea, and telling him to just earn money legitimately. A side sub-thread saw member jcomp6 joking about library computers and 'finding' cards in the street, prompting more ridicule, while others drew a line insisting the community were 'scammers, not thieves.'
You will get caught and most likly not work since people cancel their credits cards right after they have been stolen.— miLLer
Don't steal credit cards you fucking scum earn some money the proper way.— sammo
Exactly, we may be scammers, but were not thieves.— sammo
Someone Sort 'Jube' Out
A member accuses a self-styled 'coder' of dumping a trojan-laced hack on the forum and demands a ban — chaos follows.
In this Rants and Raves thread, member nightshadefc calls out a user named 'Jube' for releasing 'Jube Hack V1.0/V1.1', a CS:S cheat allegedly flagged by antivirus software as containing multiple trojans. The OP demands Jube be banned and his threads purged so newer members don't download the infected files. Jube shows up to dismiss the antivirus flags as false positives and cryptically notes the admins/mods had abandoned the forum with no report button left, while other members pile on calling him a scammer whose uploads never worked.
If you haven't noticed, the admins and moderators have ditched us. There isn't even a report button anymore. No one can hear you scream.— Jube
Jube is a fucking scamming piece of trash. Notice how none of the shit he's uploaded actually works.— method3909
DO NOT OPEN THIS HACK! IT CREATES MULTIPLE TROJANS AND VIRUS' IN YOUR WINDOWS FOLDER AND ALSO YOUR SYSTEM32 FOLDER.— nightshadefc
Personal Scamming Tutorial on CS:GO Skin Scamming (in depth)
A guy tried to sell a paid 'scamming lessons' package in the Top Sellers District — and the thread ate itself.
User Mit advertised paid one-on-one coaching in CS:GO skin/knife scamming methods, charging via PayPal with a strict no-refunds policy. The thread quickly turned uneasy: one member admitted his own knife had been scammed away during a personal hardship and said he disliked scamming but'd wait for vouches anyway, prompting some blunt community pushback and mockery ('go f yourself, Maple... you fat fuck') alongside members guessing at the actual scam method being sold. A staffer warned about leaving scam proof screenshots exposed publicly, and the topic was eventually closed by a moderator years later 'via request.'
I will be teaching people my own method for scamming cs:go skins and knifes.— Mit
my knife got scammed cause I was stupid and needed money for medical bills. I dislike scamming. But I'll wait for a vouch to see how it is.— Stewart
imho, go and fuck yourself, Maple. ... you fat fuck.— Muscle
Scammer Callout: parkie's 5-Account CSS Deal Gone Wrong
A 5-account CS deal goes sideways, and parkie gets dragged through the mud with the receipts to prove it.
In this Market Place User Review thread, member 1up publicly called out 'parkie' for scamming him on a promised deal of 2 CSS accounts for 5 GBP, posting the full MSN chat log as evidence after only receiving one fake account named 'thefakeone667'. Parkie showed up to deny it and demand better proof, other members piled on (including xsoccerpunk claiming a separate CoD4 scam), and deX- called out parkie's cocky denials as basically an admission of guilt. The thread went cold for three months until a random bump in February 2010 got it instantly locked by a Smod for necroposting.
you went through all that for 5 pounds? lol what are you like 13 years old?— 1up
i gave you an account and went off, what else do you want me to do?— parkie
Parkie, your cockyness is just proving your guilt.— deX-
TuxifieD's Guide to Getting Bigger Muscles Like Big Boys
Founder posts a bro-science bulking guide, gets called steroid FAIL, then wages a multi-page war over HIT vs. rest days.
Site founder TuxifieD dropped a bulking guide covering supplements (test boosters, creatine, N.O. products, whey), a High Intensity Training split, and the classic bulk-then-cut philosophy. It got instant ribbing as basically a steroid pitch, but a few members chimed in with genuine diet tips. The thread's real legacy is the slugfest between Tux and member Fataldelay, who clashed hard over rest days, HIT methodology, and what actually builds mass, with Tux repeatedly and colorfully trashing Fataldelay's credentials and physique.
steroid FAIL— BONxFIRE
lol Well a lot wrong with your post... Endurance workouts will NOT build mass. HIT will.— TuxifieD

Kid begs for a phished Steam account, gets 'helped,' then locks himself out of everything — instant classic.
A member named chaser123 posted in the Steam Client subforum asking someone to phish him a Steam account since he couldn't manage it himself, and even pushed for others to just hand him login info directly. Shortly after supposedly receiving 'help,' he came back panicking that he could no longer log into any of his own Steam accounts, prompting laughter and mockery from the regulars rather than sympathy. The thread turned into a pile-on with members like __yess__, jacal, necroviz, and DOMINATER razzing him, with the general consensus being it was his own fault for trusting a rando phish job. A short, petty, very-2007 cautionary tale about scene naivety and getting clowned for it.
Can someone plz phish me an accnt, ive tried using the tut but i just suck at it— chaser123
wtf! i tried to log on the account u gave me and now i cant log on to any account on steam, WTF! HELP~— chaser123
you need to just go buy a new account...its your fault if you lost yours or never had one...— DOMINATER
Sorry Kid. - The Junnyerr/Xenozer Account Sting
A member baited a 13-year-old into humiliating photos just to get his own account back — the thread's still arguing over whether that's funny or foul.
Junnyerr posted a chat log showing him impersonating 'Campil' to trick a younger user (Xenozer/Roy) into revealing account credentials and then forced him to hold up embarrassing signs/photos referencing the forum and its off-site domain before 'returning' the account. Reactions split between members laughing it up as a classic troll and others, notably silentrock, calling it a genuinely mean move against a kid. Junnyerr clapped back dismissively at the criticism, and the thread trails off with a few more members weighing in, some just calling it old news by the time they saw it.
I mean do you want your account or not?— Campil/Junnyerr
dude that was the faggiest thing ever dude,i used to admire you until that,thats just not right even for a FKN user,thats disgusting he is just a fucking kid joon— silentrock
you think I care about you if you liked me or not? I don't give two shits who likes me kid its called the internet.— Junnyerr
The $1.60 Scam: leon123's Shoutbox Meltdown
A dollar-sixty scam, a shoutbox meltdown, and a ban — classic Fkn0wned dispute thread.
Member Mickey filed a dispute claiming user leon123 scammed him out of roughly $1.60 in a Steam trade gone wrong, providing screenshots as proof. The thread quickly turned memorable when leon123, anticipating a ban, started spamming the shoutbox with inflammatory religious rhetoric before being muted and eventually suspended by staff. Other members piled on with a mix of amusement at the tiny scam amount and disapproval of his behavior, and staff (Fopje, TripleD, Nick, PopTart) handled the report through PM warnings, a grace period, and ultimately a ban. The thread was closed after resolution, standing as a small but colorful piece of forum lore about petty scams and shoutbox drama.
Oh my goshh.How pathfetic does he need to be to scam a dollar?— Muscle
$1.6 oh madd— Slimy
User has been banned— PopTart
Scammed by Adri9102 - Disputes and Reports
A trusted trader with a wall of vouches gets accused of selling a public config as private goods — and staff step in with a 48-hour ultimatum.
A dispute thread from Fkn0wned's Disputes and Reports section where a user accused trader Adri9102 of selling a config that turned out to be publicly leaked elsewhere. Adri9102 pushed back, denying it was a scam and pointing to his long vouch history and shop reputation, while other members chimed in confirming they'd also been burned. A VIP moderator (rLx) stepped in with a firm 48-hour deadline for refunds, threatening a ban if Adri9102 didn't comply, showing how the community's informal vouch-based trust system could break down and get enforced by staff.
We can write here 3 days,but we know it's a free one you have proofs to I got also scammed by him, I give you 48 to refund everybody, if you fail, I will ban you— rLx
I wouldn't refund money... still i haven't got proof than 4 March cfg was public... And... it's my first problem with trade/sale— Adri9102
the config is everywhere, seen it on ubers somewhere and i know its on leakforums— Panda
The Godfather in One Minute
A harmless YouTube link thread gets derailed by a banned user's vile attack on a member's dead friend.
Member -Darkness- shared a short comedic YouTube video condensing 'The Godfather' into one minute, name-dropping an inside joke with another user (miLLer) about a past thread. The thread quickly turned ugly when a user named acv1released (already marked as Banned in the archive) posted a disgusting, racist attack referencing -Darkness-'s deceased friend, prompting shock from valucard and a furious, pained response from -Darkness- defending his friend's memory. It's a stark example of the toxic underbelly that could erupt even in a lighthearted humor thread on this forum.
Are you fucking serious? Leave my friend out of this shit. He's gone.— -Darkness-
what the fuck? seriously?— valucard
The 'Holzed CSS Hack' Trojan Scare
A trojan panic, a false positive, and a shot fired at rival crew MPC — all over one Counter-Strike: Source hack.
An admin post announces that a widely-downloaded Counter-Strike: Source cheat called 'Holzed' had been flagged as potentially containing a trojan, only for the site to walk it back as a false positive after further inspection. The post apologizes to the cheat's author 'holz' for the scare, but takes a swing at rival community MPC ('Multiple Pussy Community') and a user named patrick for allegedly not helping resolve the confusion. It's a snapshot of the messy, trust-nobody atmosphere of the mid-2000s cheat scene, where false alarms about infected downloads and inter-forum rivalries were routine drama.
MPC aka Multiple Pussy Community, are a bunch of retards, but we apologize to holz as this was not an attempt to ruin your reputation— KingDavid
patrick refused to help anyone, apparently he does not care that everyone gets trojanned :/— KingDavid
Internet Filth - Expose
c0ke drops a site-wide 'expose' thread and the drama floodgates open.
A News + Updates thread started by longtime staffer c0ke (member #1, 'FkN Retired Staff') titled 'Internet Filth - Expose,' teasing some kind of callout or drama post aimed at other members or rival community figures. The thread ran to at least three pages, suggesting it stirred up a decent back-and-forth among the regulars. Typical of the site's mid-2000s cheat-scene culture, it mixed forum drama with the community's usual irreverent tone.
Enjoy, bitches— c0ke
Staff Nudes Leaked in VIP
The thread title alone probably got half the forum clicking before mods could blink.
A General Discussion thread on Fkn0wned Forum with a title claiming leaked nudes of staff members had appeared in the VIP section, promising 'informations inside.' Only the site chrome and navigation survive in this archive; the actual thread content, replies, and any staff response are lost. Threads like this were typical of the forum's chaotic mix of drama, VIP-section gossip, and clickbait-style titles designed to stir controversy.
Merry Fucking Christmas To Everyone!
A 2007 Christmas farewell post that nobody quite understood — and one member telling him flatly not to come back.
User Afteryou, a 1000 Club member, posted a Christmas send-off announcing he'd be away until January, tacked onto a confusing aside about 'phishing' and not spamming the forum with text. The thread devolves into other members wishing him well, admitting they didn't understand his point, and guessing he meant something about MySpace/IM links. The tone turns sharply when laptops bluntly tells him 'Dont come back. Seriously,' prompting pushback from other members (including staff) calling the comment harsh. Several longtime members and even a Co-Manager and Staff member chime in, giving a good snapshot of the forum's regular cast during the holidays.
And yes I phish these you can only tell most of these people are from the same place but anyways. Don't spamm fkn0wned.com with text it looks fucking stupid..anyways Love Yall Bye.— Afteryou
Dont come back. Seriously.— laptops
Lmao, harsh words.— Shifty
WTS/WTT Cafe Account — the 'stole it from my local cafe' thread
Guy tries to sell a cybercafe account he admits to stealing, gets immediately called out.
In the Market Place section, member hitmanre posted a for-sale listing for a 'legit' internet cafe gaming account, only to casually admit under questioning that he'd stolen it from his local cafe. VIP members XpliciteR and DvS ProSpammer quickly pointed out that stolen cafe accounts almost always get reclaimed by the owner, prompting hitmanre to sheepishly agree to hold off on selling for a couple weeks to see if it survives. A small, mundane slice of the forum's account-trading marketplace culture, with a bit of dry mod-scene cynicism thrown in.
legit, stole it from my local cafe— hitmanre
Stolen cafe's get retrieved 95% of the time— DvS ProSpammer
I would leave this thread up, but dont sell acc for like another 1-2 weeks, see if it still works , then sell— DvS ProSpammer
[SALE] 4 Digit Steam Account - Has Modern Warfare 2 + great games
NIX tries to flip a sketchy 'inactive' Steam account with MW2 for $150 — buyers immediately smell a repo scam brewing.
A Market Place listing where longtime [FkN] Crew member NIX offered a low-digit Steam account (with Modern Warfare 2 and other games) for a strict minimum $150 via PayPal, laying out hard no-refund/no-trade rules. Buyers pushed back hard, questioning how an account supposedly untouched for years still had a fresh copy of MW2 and mail access, raising red flags that it could be reclaimed by the original owner after sale. NIX got defensive and dodged specifics, admins chimed in on retrieval mechanics, and the thread ends with members openly speculating the whole thing was a setup to bait buyers into losing their money.
Man how the fuck should I know the account is inactive like a nigger and I need money ASAP otherwise I wouldn't be seeling it omfg— NIX
meybe the dud( not you NIX, but the owner of this account ) is waiting for people to buy this account and then reclaim it lulz.— Sleeping Forest
not if you have the email account— ap3x
Patience — Vouch Thread That Turned Sour
Started as a glowing vouch thread for a staff member's game-account sales, ended with a public retraction and an admin demanding answers.
This Market Place vouch thread began with member Sleeping Forest praising a seller named Patience (or 'Patiencee') for a smooth Steam account purchase, quickly followed by other members co-signing the trade as trustworthy. An admin, ap3x, even repurposed the thread as Patience's official vouch thread. Days later Sleeping Forest did a total reversal, calling the seller a 'huge disappointment' and asking for the thread to be closed, prompting staff member Kimmi to publicly push back and ask for an explanation since Patience was apparently forum staff. The thread cuts off with that question hanging, an unresolved bit of Market Place drama.
Awesome. Just bought the 160games acc. I went first and Hes happy. Excellent seller.— Sleeping Forest
/close this thread please. Huge dissappointment with this seller. Will not purchase from him again.— Sleeping Forest
Mind explaining why? He's one of our staff so I'd like to hear the reason.— Kimmi
Users Who Are Banned From the Market Place
The Market Place's official naughty list — starring a scammer who tried to sell Steam accounts on the shoutbox while banned, then got caught red-handed.
Founder TuxifieD opened a running thread listing members banned from the Market Place trading subforum, meant as a public reference for mods and traders. The main drama involved user zEpp, who protested his ban and then almost immediately got caught trying to sell Steam accounts via the shoutbox in defiance of the ban, prompting VIP member Sleeping Forest to post a timestamped call-out log and demand a permanent ban. Other members and staff piled on mockingly, and staff later added a second banned user, Shinobix, to the list.
being banned from the market place FORBIDS you from trading/selling until your issue is solved MR.SCAMMMER. i doubt your idiocy is gonna get you unbanned anytime soon.— hoOkz
Oh I was just told I was banned from market place, and not to make another post. So I shoutboxed lol— zEpp
you're cruisin for a bruisin— ap3x
3-Digit Steam Account Up For Sale
A rare 3-digit account hits the Market Place — but who actually owns it?
ckgx posted a listing in the Market Place selling a coveted low-number ('3 digit') Steam account with LAN and ESL proof, asking around $300. The thread turned into a mini investigation over legitimacy — staff (ap3x, TuxifieD, vermiLLion) questioned retrieval risk and ownership, briefly flagging and removing posts before smoothing things over. Things got stranger when a user named Virus1x showed up claiming to be the actual owner, saying her husband created the account and she was letting ckgx sell it on her behalf, guaranteeing a refund if the buyer didn't keep it. Regular members chimed in with skepticism, LAN-proof explainers, and warnings about high-digit accounts eventually getting reclaimed.
Someone buy this and then just go into servers with your name set to " I use hacks from fkn0wned.com" lmao— TuxifieD
guys, buy this on your own caution, I know people who use to buy 4digits and sooner or later they get retrieved.— iluvnic
This seller is SELLING my 3 Digit for me.. It has been in my control SINCE DAY ONE of creation..— Virus1x
Selling iStealer 5.0 MOD Source Code [VB6]
Guy tries to sell $20 malware source code — forum immediately finds it free on RapidShare
TeKn1qu3z posted a Market Place listing offering the VB6 source code for a keylogger/stealer tool ('iStealer 5.0 MOD'), claiming it was fully undetected and original, priced at $20 with a first-buyer discount. Other members quickly cast doubt, questioning whether it was backdoored and whether it was even worth selling, and knobjockey and andr3zit0 both pointed out the same source had already leaked publicly elsewhere with proper credits going to other coders (Affix, sHaZ). The thread devolves into typical marketplace skepticism, with a couple of members (Spaz, andr3zit0) doing informal code review to check for backdoors before the topic fizzles out with the reveal that it was public/leaked code all along.
yeah everyone buy public shit lol— knobjockey
code was leaked in various other websites.. its not worth a penny what he is selling— andr3zit0
Srry i dont rlly trust 228 posts with 6 points :D— Slickz
GameServer Crash Scripts [STORE]
A guy tried to sell CS:Source server-crashing scripts for cash — and got dragged for charging for stuff people say was already free
In the Black Market subforum, member darksoul32 (posting as 'IOn Photoshop') set up a small storefront thread hawking a menu of paid Counter-Strike: Source (and allegedly other Source game) server crash/lag/freeze scripts and a 'server protection' tool, with prices ranging from $5-$25 and a discount for repeat buyers. The thread quickly turned into a credibility fight, with several members claiming the same scripts were freely available in the site's gaming section, and a banned member (-Darkness-) claiming to have made his own superior versions, sparking a heated back-and-forth insult match with darksoul32 over who actually 'made' what. A couple of posters vouched for the scripts working, and darksoul32 later announced a sale and price cuts, closing the thread on a low-key sales-pitch note.
Money comes first, I dont rip people off.— darksoul32
Why sell this if u can get it for free @ our gaming section ?— NIX
If you think you can outscript me then prove it. Otherwise stfu noob. =) Have a nice day =)— darksoul32
"Noname=grav1ty" — the thread that called out a mod-in-waiting
A banned noob dug up an admin's old rant to sink his co-mod bid — and made a poll out of it.
A user posting under the name 'Xooc' (Group: Banned) revived an old quote from 'GraV1ty', apparently taken from a related community (FKN, i.e. fkn0wned), to argue that GraV1ty was too immature and hypocritical to be trusted with co-moderator status on Gametration.com. The post included an attached negative-only poll asking members their attitude toward 'noname', framing it as exposing an admin's past behavior. It's a small but telling flare-up of forum politics and cross-community drama between two linked cheat-scene sites.
your the scum bitch, kissing cokes ass— GraV1ty (quoted by Xooc)
if you prove it. I WILL NEVER LOG BACK ON FKN AGAIN.— Xooc
This person is an admin on this forum. ... I think it speaks for itself.— Xooc
Minesweeper Trainer Tutorial Sparks Authorship Brawl
A shared Minesweeper trainer tutorial turns into a full-blown authorship brawl when the original coder himself shows up to claim credit.
Posted in the Technology > Programming section, [LiP]STicK. shared a reposted reverse-engineering tutorial explaining the theory behind turning Minesweeper into its own trainer via entry-point patching and code caves, explicitly noting 'Not made by me.' The thread took a turn when a brand-new member, Ksbunker, showed up claiming to be the actual author, sparking a credibility fight with veteran member 'laptop' (Sickenin!!!!) and moderator DCLXVI over whether a low-post-count account could be trusted. Ksbunker fired back hard, pointing to his username embedded in the posted code as proof and mocking laptop's post history in the warez/porn subforums. The exchange is a classic slice of cheat-scene forum drama: technical tutorial sharing collides with ego, authorship disputes, and low-effort accusations.
proof or gtfo thx,,,,,,— Sickenin!!!! (laptop)
One has to only look at laptops post count to validate this point! Lots of posts, but no brain.— Ksbunker
Lol I've got no fucking idea who made it, just thought it would be useful to share it.— [LiP]STicK.
Speed Up My PC 2007 w/ Key
Moderator drops a 'PC optimizer' — turns out it's a keylogger, and half the thread doesn't seem to care
A Super Moderator posted a rapidshare link for 'SpeedUpMyPC 2007,' pitched as a system-optimization tool with a startup manager and bandwidth monitor. Another member quickly posted a VirusTotal scan showing the file was actually the Ardamax keylogger/trojan, sparking warnings from a few users to avoid it. Despite the exposed risk, the thread devolves into typical low-effort replies, with at least one member claiming it 'worx very niceely' and others asking if it's safe well after being told it wasn't.
thnx, but it's a virus :s dont download this!!!— __yess__
dude this is a very good program worx very niceely— olie22
looks like a keylogger by the looks of the scan use at your own risk— bragamuffin
