TuxifieD Returns: The Overlord Comes Back

The site owner vanishes for four years, then just... comes back — and the whole forum loses its mind.

Site owner TuxifieD returned after roughly four years away and posted an announcement thread promising to revive fkn0wned, move back to the .com domain, overhaul VIP perks, and bring back longtime staffer KZA as a moderator. The thread quickly filled with old members expressing genuine surprise and nostalgia, welcoming Tux and KZA back and reminiscing about 'the good old days.' It's a warm, chaotic reunion moment with plenty of inside jokes, emoticon spam, and old-school forum camaraderie.

I'm not the same tux that I was ... bit wiser.. bit less of an asshole but much smarter so this will be fun.— TuxifieD

So do I shoot myself now... or later?— Afteryou

The overlord has returned.— Guest

Rebirth of Fkn0wned (2010 Forum Reset)

The day admin TuxifieD nuked the whole forum and told the oldfags their post counts meant nothing anymore.

In August 2010, founder TuxifieD announced a full wipe of the Fkn0wned forums — fresh install, fresh server, everyone starting at zero posts — framed as a way to kill off 'oldfag' status-hoarders and let the community rebuild its reputation from scratch. The reaction from regulars was mostly hype and nostalgia mixed with mild panic over losing old posts and VIP status, with admins reassuring members that VIP/perks were still being sorted out. It's a classic community-reset thread: excitement, a little chaos, some inside jokes, and everyone jockeying for early post numbers in the new era.

no more old fags coming on to pretend they're cool because they have a high post count and dont post anymore.— TuxifieD

At first, I saw the site completely blank and squeaky clean and I nearly shit myself...— ap3x

FUCK YEA, I HAVE MORE POSTS THAN KIMMI!— Dr. Tobias Fünke

Staff Recruitment Post: 'Looking for Skilled Phishers'

The site's staff openly recruited a phishing crew to keep VIP accounts flowing — a rare, blunt look at how the site really worked.

A staff/admin-level account named Skippy posted an official recruitment call in the Updates and Announcements board, asking members to apply to become a 'Fisher' — a designated role supplying stolen accounts (Steam, Rapidshare, Megaupload, etc.) on a weekly quota for VIP and General Giveaways use. Applicants had to PM a structured application listing their member group, experience, and weekly account output, with no tolerance for people wanting to 'learn.' It's a striking artifact of the site's internal culture, showing an official, formalized system built around account theft as a site service. The thread is locked, consistent with an announcement rather than a discussion.

That's right people, we are searching for a group of dedicated Fkn0wnians who will help us out by phishing for Fkn0wned.— Skippy

Also, please don't send me PM's saying you don't know how but are willing to learn.— Skippy

Jailbait VIP Section Launch (2009 Monetization Time Capsule)

A 2009 'VIP section' launch post that's basically a time capsule of everything wrong with the era's forum economy.

A Minor Updates announcement from founder TuxifieD advertising a new paid VIP section on Fkn0wned.com, sold through CCBill/PayPal links bundled with the site's '1k club'. The name of the section leaned on shock-value branding, with a disclaimer insisting all content was of legal-age amateurs, and the post also put out a call for 'phishers' and 'cappers' to join the crew. It's a stark, unfiltered snapshot of the shadier commercial side of late-2000s cheat/gaming forums, where site monetization blurred into recruiting for other shady internet hustles. Replies were short — one member said they'd buy in, another (Kimmi) just reacted with a bored one-word dismissal.

The jailbait VIP section is now OPEN!!!!!— TuxifieD

NOTICE: Jailbait is just the name used, all models are of course of age— TuxifieD

Sucks.— Kimmi

Meet the Staff (2010 Roster & Origin Stories)

The FkN0wned staff roster, in their own words — founders, mods, and GFX crew laying out who ran the cheat scene's biggest free hack site.

A pinned, locked introduction thread where Fkn0wned's staff team introduced themselves with short bios covering how they found the site, why they stayed, how they got promoted, and their hobbies. It includes founder TuxifieD's origin story of splitting from the original site's creator (syntax), starting a rival site, and eventually taking over Fkn0wned to make it one of the biggest free cheat sites in the scene. The rest of the roster (admins, super moderators, crew, database admin, and GFX team) filled in the same Q&A format, giving a snapshot of the community's structure and personalities circa 2010, with later replies logging staff roster updates.

I converted sourceindustries.net into a private hack site only and encouraged everyone to come to fkn0wned.com for free cheats.— TuxifieD

He answered with: "I use FkN Catalyst Tactics Recode v1.1". It didn't know anything of hacks and when I read "FkN Catalyst Tactics Recode v1.1" I was like: What the fuck is that?— Kimmi

Fkn0wned Goes 'Safe For Work' — RIP the Adult Section

The day fkn0wned killed its jailbait/porn sections and half the forum threw a funeral for it

Founder TuxifieD announced that Fkn0wned was officially going 'Safe For Work,' scrapping its adult/XXX sections to look more legitimate for advertisers, framing it as a necessary move for the site's future as a gaming/cheating/tech community. The reaction split between mock outrage and jokes, with members lamenting the loss of the jailbait and VIP porn sections and joking about the site's questionable legality around cheats and modded game files instead. It's a small but telling snapshot of the forum's culture shift, as members debated what actually counted as 'illegal' versus just against the rules, all in classic mid-2000s edgy forum humor.

THIS IS WHY WE CAN HAVE NICE THINGS— kasper5150

First you remove the Jailbait section now this? Whats next... Impregnate my dog... iCry.— RuddifieD

Aw no more XXX section? There goes my dream of joining the XXX Crew lol.— synae

The Founding of the Insiders Group

The post where FknOwned's head admin laid out how you actually earned your way into the inner circle.

This is the founding announcement for FknOwned's 'Insiders' group, posted by head admin [FkN] Bisdale (aka CoKe AddiKt) back in July 2006. It explains the rationale for a private tier above regular membership: dedicated, mature contributors who consistently helped others would get access to private hacks, tools, and resources before the general public, with new hacks released to Insiders first. Entry was earned through sustained contribution (or, half-jokingly, a $500 donation toward server costs), reflecting the site's early culture of building loyalty and hierarchy among its most active members. A member named Darkness quickly chimed in with approval, capturing the small, tight-knit vibe of the community at the time.

the insiders are the members who stick around and contribute to fkn0wned ALL the time.— [FkN] Bisdale

the hacks fkn0wned makes are released to the insiders long before anyone else gets them.— [FkN] Bisdale

Great idea coke— Darkness

Fkn0wned Hack Policy: 'You got Fkn0wned!'

The site rules post that basically said: yes, we're a hacking site, deal with it.

A pinned-style policy post from 2007 laying out Fkn0wned's stance as a Counter-Strike hacking/cheat community, explaining that the site was run by volunteer gamers rather than professionals, that the staff tried to keep the cheat database labeled for VAC2 detection status but couldn't guarantee accuracy, and that the site bore no responsibility for bans resulting from cheat use. It also pushed back preemptively on anti-cheating visitors, telling them plainly this wasn't the place for that attitude. The tone was unapologetic and a bit cocky, closing with the site's signature 'You got Fkn0wned!' line.

Fkn0wned is a hacking site, but you know that.— DCLXVI

You didnt just get owned. You got Fkn0wned!— DCLXVI

Please dont come here with some kind of purist anti-hacking attitude, just to flame hacking and give us crap.— DCLXVI

Hacking Policy and Guidelines

The staff post that laid down fkn0wned's whole 'we're a hacking site, deal with it' philosophy — pinned and locked for the ages.

A pinned, locked staff announcement from senior mod Kimmi ('King of Random') spelling out fkn0wned's official stance on the hack downloads it hosted: this was a hacking site by design, staff tried to keep hacks tagged as VAC2-detected or undetected but couldn't guarantee accuracy, and any bans from use were entirely on the user. It reads as part disclaimer, part community mission statement, closing with the forum's signature 'You got Fkn0wned!' tagline. Credited to member KZA, it captures the site's unapologetic, volunteer-run, gamers-not-suits attitude toward the cheat scene it built its name on.

You didnt just get owned. You got Fkn0wned!— Kimmi

Please dont come here with some kind of purist anti-hacking attitude, just to flame hacking and give us crap.— Kimmi

Fkn isnt responsible for any VAC2 bans.— Kimmi

Official Fkn0wned Rules (Global) — the 'Safe for Work' Announcement

The day Fkn0wned went 'safe for work' and half the forum mourned their warez sections like a death in the family.

Founder TuxifieD posted a locked, global rules announcement declaring Fkn0wned a 'completely safe for work' site, banning adult content, warez/copyrighted material, hacking discussion, and anti-government talk — largely to stay compliant with PayPal's acceptable use policy and keep payment processing options open. The reply thread is a mix of mock-mourning from members who used the porn/warez boards to pad post counts, some genuine pushback questioning the legal necessity of the change, and Tux firing back irritably at people complaining about losing access to freebies. Staff members chime in half-jokingly about the forum being 'clean' now, and the thread captures a real inflection point in the site's identity, even though the forum's own board index still listed a 'Red Light District' and 'Porn Paradise' section underneath it.

Losing the porn and warez section is that big of a deal to you guys lmao? You dont know where to get porn and warez at or something? Grow up.— TuxifieD

So now no warez or XXX section? Where will people spam for their post count now :(— majrbrawl

Evh legit Fkn forum, i feel so clean evh evh!— ZoaQ

Fkn0wned Hack Policy (Founding Manifesto, 2006)

The site's official 'we owe you nothing' manifesto — posted by the policy author himself back in July 2006.

A pinned policy post laying out Fkn0wned's ground rules as a Counter-Strike hacking/cheat community: don't come here to flame hacking since that's the whole point of the site, staff try to keep the VAC2 detected/undetected cheat database accurate but make no guarantees, the site is run by volunteer gamers rather than professionals, and Fkn0wned takes no responsibility for any VAC bans users incur. It closes with the site's trademark cocky sign-off about getting 'Fkn0wned' in-game. This is a foundational, tone-setting document for the whole forum rather than a discussion thread.

This is a hacking site , why would you be here if youre against that sort of thing?— Wishbone

You didnt just get owned. You got Fkn0wned!— Wishbone

Well done n00b, Ill sell you a Steam account for $20. Pm, lol.— Wishbone

Hacks And Services We Offer! - VIP Fkn0wned.com Launch Announcement

The day fkn0wned laid out its VIP price list — while openly admitting the site was funding a legal defense fund

This was the founding announcement post for fkn0wned's VIP membership program, posted by admin Bisdale in January 2007, listing the perks (Counter-Strike hacks, premium file host accounts, giveaways, beta access) and pricing tiers. The thread is notable mostly for its candor: the post explicitly frames VIP purchases as helping 'keep Fkn0wned alive and its owners out of jail' amid mounting legal/court costs. Early replies show a mix of goodwill, confusion over conflicting 'lifetime' pricing on the payment page versus the forum post, some biting spam/opinion drama between members, and general community support during what members understood to be a rocky legal period for the site's owners.

Keep Fkn0wned alive and it's owners out of jail by purchasing VIP today.

good luck with the legal battles fellas!!!!— NecroticNecro

than dont comment, and keep it to yourself... this forum isnt even official and your already spamming.— NecroticNecro

Donation Needed By Monday or Bye Bye :(

The day fkn0wned put out a tin cup because PayPal was holding its money hostage for six months.

Founder TuxifieD posted an urgent plea in General Discussion warning that the site would be shut down by Monday unless two $149 hosting invoices got paid. The catch: fkn0wned's PayPal account had been frozen/closed, with funds held for six months, leaving the crew unable to pay online bills normally. Member Ap3x quickly stepped up and covered one of the two invoices, and Tuxified offered 'recognition' to anyone else willing to help cover the rest. A classic small-forum survival moment — the site literally kept alive by member donations.

We have two invoices that need to be paid to keep fkn0wned online.— TuxifieD

It will be shut down by monday if these are not paid.— TuxifieD

Unfortunate Circumstances - Staff Shakeup Announcement

A staff feud blew up behind the scenes and fkn0wned suddenly needed a whole new crew.

A February 2008 announcement from an fkn0wned administrator reveals that a weekend dispute between staff and the site owner led to unspecified 'action' being taken against several members who allegedly threatened the community's stability. Details were deliberately withheld out of privacy, but the fallout left multiple staff positions (graphics designers, media crew, supervisors, misc. staff) suddenly vacant, prompting an open call for volunteers to apply via resume post. The tone is calm and diplomatic on the surface, but clearly papering over some real internal drama.

a disagreement arose between the staff members and owner of fkn0wned that has unfortunately resulted in action being taken upon a select few who threatened the accessability of the community.— erfb0und

Take me on.— .Smurf

Fkn0wned Donation Drive!

The site founder went broke keeping fkn0wned alive — and asked the community to bail it out

In December 2007, site owner TuxifieD (posting under that handle and later cross-posted under 'KingDavid' on a mirrored Gametration.com copy) announced personal financial trouble and appealed to the community to help cover hosting costs for fkn0wned and the wider 'Deception Network' of sites. Members were invited to donate cash via PayPal or Western Union, or donate sellable digital goods like Rapidshare/Steam accounts, with the biggest donor promised a staff position and special account award. The thread ran at least four pages, reflecting how much the community rallied (or argued) around keeping the site afloat.

Show me how much you love fkn0wned and how much you appreciate us.— TuxifieD

Help keep fkn0wned alive.— TuxifieD

Welcome Back to Fkn0wned.Com (2006 Relaunch)

The site that got hacked and rose again — this is the post where fkn0wned came back for good.

This is the founding/relaunch announcement thread for the Fkn0wned forum, posted by Head Admin [FkN] Bisdale, marking the site's return after prior corruption and hacking incidents. It's essentially the ground-zero post of the community's News + Updates section, calling for staff volunteers to help rebuild. A returning member, Rockforce, chimes in with a genuine welcome-back sentiment, capturing the small, fresh-start energy of the relaunched site.

This time fkn0wned is back and better then ever, no corruption, no hackings, we're back for good.— [FkN] Bisdale

i know this isnt the right thread but welcome back guys...i missed ya!— Rockforce

Update of the Month — October 2008: Staff Purge, New Hack Release, and Jailbait Section Reopened

The founder cleans house, opens the gallery, drops a TF2/DoDS hack, and casually announces a paid 'jailbait' section — peak fkn0wned chaos in one post.

A founder-authored 'state of the site' announcement from TuxifieD laying out a batch of changes: staff recruitment now goes solely through him after issues with 'untrustworthy' staff, talk of an h4cky0u affiliation, a new security team, a released DoDS/TF2 hack link for members to promote, a reopened gallery, and a reopened (partly paywalled) jailbait subforum. It's a snapshot of the site's loose, ad-hoc management style and the disturbing mix of cheat-scene hosting with exploitative content sections that was common on shady forums of that era. The thread drew at least one reply before continuing across multiple pages.

Well im sick of lying untrust worthy staff, from now on all staff is recruited through me and only me— TuxifieD

Jailbait section back open - There will be a private jailbait section for those who either pay to access it or who post good material in the jailbait forum section.— TuxifieD

The Cheatground/fkn0wned Merger Announcement

The day two rival cheat-scene camps called a truce and merged back into one fkn0wned

Founder TuxifieD posts a state-of-the-union style announcement declaring that Cheatground and fkn0wned.com are merging, framing it as a homecoming for members who'd splintered off to run their own sites over the years. He calls for old grudges between the two camps to be set aside, name-drops the upcoming 'fkn0wned.com v3' relaunch, and welcomes back Shifty and the old TC (Cheatground) crew to help lead the community forward. Shifty replies right after confirming he's glad to be back, marking a symbolic reunification of the site's leadership after apparent past splits.

its not US vs eachother, its US vs everyone else, like it has always been— TuxifieD

Glad to be back.— Shifty

Amateur VIP Porn Section Reopens: jhurl's Blunt Rebrand Admission

The infamous 'renamed jailbait section' announcement that says a lot about how fkn0wned actually ran.

A Minor Updates post from founder jhurl announces the reopening of the site's 'Amateur VIP Porn Section,' bluntly describing it as a rebrand of a previous section to dodge scrutiny, bundled into a $20 VIP membership sold alongside cheat access. Admin Skippy replies shortly after. The thread is short but stands as a stark, unfiltered artifact of the forum's more troubling side and how casually paid 'VIP' access mixed hacking tools with adult content.

The section is open again, its basically the jailbait section but renamed with a name that isnt seen as so bad.— jhurl

Nov 24th Newsletter

The week Fkn0wned hit 100,000 members, crowned a new Super Moderator, and told everyone to 'be scared'

A weekly staff newsletter posted by manager tKeR recapping site happenings: a drawing contest moving into its voting phase, the launch of a 'Poll of The Day' feature in the debating forums, the promotion of Janza to Super Moderator, several new section moderators appointed (Arcade and RockForce for Red Light District, PaRaNoID for General), a new community-run news section, a bookmarking mod added to threads, and the milestone announcement that the site had reached 100,000 members. Replies are short, congratulatory, and enthusiastic, with one member already pitching ideas for a second drawing contest.

Janza is the newest addition to the Super Moderators team; be scared.— tKeR

Fkn0wned hits 100,000 members! Pwned.— tKeR

More than only "Pwned", I would say: FKNOWNED! Great Succes!— Dieuz

Business Expansion: TuxifieD's Investor Pitch Meets Casual Steam Phishing Brags

Fkn0wned's founder pitches investors and coders on going global — while a random reply casually brags about phishing 13 Steam accounts that week

Founder TuxifieD posted a December 2009 announcement seeking outside investors (offering a 50% stake) and cheat/hack coders to help Fkn0wned expand beyond its North American base, name-checking the site's Combat Arms EU hack launch as a growth lever. The replies are classic community banter: jokes about whether the site is 'clean' now, mild admin sarcasm about never answering PMs, and a member reassuring everyone Fkn0wned wouldn't 'sell out' after 3+ years running. The thread's vibe curdles a bit when one member casually mentions phishing Steam accounts as evidence of 'learning so much' from the site, undercutting the buttoned-up business talk.

Fkn0wned has been around for over 3 years, if we were gonna sell out, it woulda happened already this site is too much fun.— TuxifieD

i learnt how to phish a week ago and i phished 10 steam accs today lmao :L EDIT: 13 Now :)— JUSTiiNCREDiiBLE

So we're clean nao?— Unbeliveable

Site Changes: Skippy Takes Over as Head Admin, Jailbait Section Removed

TuxifieD vanishes, Skippy grabs the keys, and the Jailbait section quietly disappears for 'legal issues'

An official announcement from Skippy explaining a leadership shakeup on Fkn0wned: founder TuxifieD stepped away indefinitely, jhurl was promoted to Founder to handle VIP/1K subscriptions, and Skippy himself became head Admin with full site access. The post also confirms the controversial 'Jailbait' forum section was removed over legal concerns, with an open question about whether it'd return. The thread is a mix of congratulations, inside jokes about color/name changes, a VIP member complaining about an unfulfilled lifetime subscription, and one blatantly racist outburst that got called out by another member.

Jailbait has been removed for legal issue, we are still debating on weather or not to re-introduce it in future.— Skippy

This world is going to hell, everything is run by niggers now. America, fkn0wned, etc WHATS NEXT?!— Industry

I paid VIP Lifetime Subscription 3 weeks ago and I received nothing... What I really have to do now ?— Bernie L. Madoff

Site Updates: Skill Recruitment, Verified Sellers, and the Jimy-as-Crew Controversy

Tuxified drops a big roadmap post — new hacks, a Verified Sellers group, and a surprise crew promotion that half the VIPs immediately side-eyed.

Owner TuxifieD posted a major site-news update announcing the domain moving back to fkn0wned.com, upcoming public and VIP CS:GO hacks, the end of lifetime VIP pricing, a new paid 'Verified Sellers Group' for the marketplace, and an open call for members with useful skills to join staff. The thread's real drama came from the announcement that member Jimy had been promoted to Crew — several longtime VIPs (Bergii, Gloxiak) openly questioned the choice, calling him out for offensive comments rather than contributions, while Tuxified firmly defended the decision. Regulars like PotatoRain, HateNN, xVENdEr, Fopje, and Squab chimed in with congrats, jokes, and general forum banter typical of the site's community culture.

Great changes for the forum, but Jimy as a crew member? Are you serious ? What did he even do for this forum, except writing offensive comments/status updates ?— Bergii

he wants to help, he has the attitude to put in the work and get shit going... No dead weight in staff.— TuxifieD

Will the position for Supreme Overlord of fkn0wned be available?— Squab

VIP & 1K Club Information

The pinned post that explained how to buy your way (or post your way) into Fkn0wned's inner circle

An admin-posted sticky laying out the perks of paid Lifetime VIP membership versus the free 1K Club (earned by hitting 1000 posts), covering access to private hack sections, giveaways, cracked content boards, tutorials, and auto-unhide privileges. The thread mostly stayed on-topic with members clarifying the differences between VIP and 1K, referral shortcuts, and payment logistics, with a bit of the community's trademark irreverent humor mixed in. It's a solid snapshot of how the site funded itself and gated its 'exclusive' content behind money or grinding.

You forgot to mention the massive amount of nude Mana pics— f0wh

Well my VIP Status just got raped.— RodasAPC

300 referrals is Lifetime 1K as far as I know. VIP is only one month.— [1K] TripleD

New Skin: GetLikeFkN

The day fkn0wned's forum got its most hyped-up facelift ever, and the whole crew lost their minds over it

Site manager ZoaQ announces a from-scratch forum skin overhaul ('GetLikeFkN'), touting a lighter theme, CSS3/HTML5 effects, new dropdown menus, updated graphics, and cross-browser support after months of work. The reply thread is pure hype and gratitude from staff and members, with several old-timers reminiscing fondly about the original dark fkn0wned look while praising the new one for feeling faster and more polished. It's a lighthearted, community-morale-boosting moment rather than any drama — just members cheering on a well-liked admin's redesign work.

This community will soon run on the d0pe of getlike.me— [FkN] ZoaQ

I pretty much creamed my pants AGAIN— [FkN] NIX

You sir, are God.— [FkN] trs

Launch of the Fkn0wned Currency System ("fokens")

The day Fkn0wned rolled out its own virtual economy — meet the foken.

Founder tKeR announced the launch of Fkn0wned's new site-wide currency system, called 'fokens,' meant to reward posting, helping other members, contests, referrals, and donations. The points could be used for cosmetic name effects, virtual goods, raffles, and as tokens of appreciation, but explicitly not for trading real money or physical items. tKeR also referenced a past point system that failed due to inflation and staff abuse, promising tighter controls this time. Early replies were positive, with members like karpaltunnal calling it a promising feature.

The Fkn0wned Currency System is now ONLINE but not fully functional in terms of prizes yet.— tKeR

We WILL NOT run into the same issue as we had the point system last time which was inflation.— tKeR

Just noticed this, this looks like a promising and awesome feature IMO.— karpaltunnal

Rules of The Hall Of Shame

The rulepost that turned defacing websites into a fkn0wned bragging contest

Site owner TuxifieD lays out the ground rules for the 'Hall Of Shame' subforum, a space where members posted screenshots of website and social media accounts they'd broken into, provided they plugged fkn0wned.com in the attack itself. He teases prizes and possible staff recruitment ('Rage team') for the best defacements or big database hauls. The reply chain is short and nostalgic rather than active — older members reminisce about doing 'this stuff back in the day' rather than posting new exploits.

This is a section for you to take screenshots of your latest exploit and show off how you owned someones website, facebook, twitter etc.— TuxifieD

Bringin' back the good ol' days— デイブ

I remember doing a lot of this stuff back in the day.— CandleJack

The VIP Board's First Bug Report: Fkn0wned at 7 Members

Member Number 7 hits a CAPTCHA glitch on day one of Fkn0wned's brand-new VIP board — and gets a peek at just how tiny the crew still was.

One of the earliest threads on the freshly-launched Fkn0wned V.I.P. subforum, from February 2007, where a registration/CAPTCHA display glitch gets reported and quickly patched by a root admin. The chat drifts into small-talk about the site still being 'unfinalized,' the tiny early member count (only 7 members, 3 staff), hopes for site founder bisdale to get out of legal trouble, and anticipation of upcoming CSS/DoD:S cheats from a member known as s0beit. It's a snapshot of the community in its infancy — informal, sparse, and hopeful about what VIP membership would bring.

there will most likley be a CSS or DODS hack by the end of this week, I R HELPIN!— s0beit

we have to hope for the best and get bisdale out of the shit'z hes in! that way it should become betterer— NecroticNecro

Since there are only 7 members, 3 being staff... it will take some time.— Rockforce

April 2015 Recruiting Specialized Staff

Fkn0wned puts out the call for graphics, database, and dev staff — and gets a lukewarm response that says a lot about where the site was headed.

Owner TuxifieD posted a recruitment drive looking for Graphics Staff, a Database Admin, and Designers to help revive traffic on the forum, with a possible future commission-based sales role tied to CheatsInc. Applications were to be sent via PM rather than posted publicly. Only a couple members responded on-thread, and one long-time member, aabee, openly remarked on the site's 'decreasing activity,' capturing the tail-end mood of the community.

Just amazing decreasing activity.— aabee

I've gotten pms. No reason to post here.— TuxifieD

Recruiting the FkN Spam Crew

The day fkn0wned tried to build an army of forum spammers to boost its google rank

Head admin [FkN]Bisdale posted a recruitment call for a dedicated 'Spam Crew' — members willing to spend an hour or more a day posting on other forums to spread the Fkn0wned name and drive traffic. It framed spamming as a competitive, rewarded role with community recognition for top performers, and threatened bans for time-wasters or anyone spamming the thread itself. A quick reply from 'CounterSpray' shows at least one member eager to volunteer, offering 2-2.5 hours a day.

You must be able to dedicate at least one hour of your day to spamming for Fkn0wed every day.— [FkN]Bisdale

Im interested..my net is quite fast. I'll Dedicate my Time 2-2.5 Hours A day— CounterSpray

Private Hacks Up For Sale

The day Fkn0wned put a price tag on 'undetected' — VIP cheats, $20 a month, right in the announcements forum.

A founder-posted announcement advertising paid 'VIP' private cheats for Battlefield 2, Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty 5, Counter-Strike: Source, and Crysis, priced at $20/month through a site payment panel. It reads as an official site update rather than a member ad, marking a point where Fkn0wned formalized monetizing its cheat offerings. The thread is short and businesslike, inviting questions rather than sparking much back-and-forth.

They will start off at $20/month— TuxifieD

Every hack IS full featured and undetected.— TuxifieD

150,000 Posts and 70,000 Members Milestone Announcement

The day Fkn0wned.Com (Gametration) bragged about becoming one of the biggest cheat scene sites around

A staff milestone post from July 2007 announcing that the site had crossed 150,000 forum posts, 70,000 registered members, and roughly 250,000 logged downloads, framing the site as rapidly overtaking older, more established Counter-Strike cheat scene forums. The founder/admin explains that the real post count was actually higher since hidden or deleted posts weren't counted, and that the download counter had been reset a few months earlier. A couple of early members chime in with congratulations, giving a glimpse of the site's community pride in its own growth.

Fkn0wned.Com is turning into one of the biggest websites in the Counter-Strike cheat scene.— c0ke

good job man, hope we keep this up, even though i dont hack— tracyfan_1

VIP Pre-Registration & PayPal Donations Announcement

Only 100 spots, $50 for two months, and PayPal for two weeks only — fkn0wned's big VIP launch pitch.

This was the official announcement from site founder TuxifieD opening pre-registration for a new, exclusive VIP tier, capped at 100 members and set to close February 1st. The pitch promised private undetected cheats across a wide spread of games (BF2, BF2142, Crysis, CoD4, TF2, CS 1.6/Source), early access to a new 'fkn0wned Beta Client', and bonus '1k club' access in the meantime. Payment was pitched as a one-time $50 fee for two months, with PayPal temporarily accepted as a limited-time option. Co-Manager Shifty chimed in early, and the thread ran three pages long as members reacted to the VIP push.

We are breaking new ground here and you can be apart of it.— TuxifieD

Want to know what happens behind closed doors? Here is your chance to find out.— TuxifieD

Post Reviews of Users — Trust/Reputation System Thread

The rules post that built fkn0wned's whole trust-and-scammer economy.

Founder TuxifieD lays out a simple reputation system for the Market Place: members make a topic named after themselves so others could post trade reviews, and anyone scammed could call it out or start a '[Scammer]USERNAME' thread to warn the community. Skippy chimes in suggesting screenshots be required to back up accusations and prevent false claims. It's a short, foundational housekeeping post rather than a big drama thread, but it set the standard for how trust and callouts worked on the forum's trading scene.

If someone has been scammed by you, they can come in and post in your user review topic saying you are a scammer.— TuxifieD

We should maybe make it so a screen shot is to be added as further proof, just so people don't get false accusations.— Skippy

New Postings and VIP Sections (2008 Announcement)

The post where fkn0wned announced its VIP tiers, staff recruitment drive, and a warez section — early foundational site business.

An April 2008 announcement thread from a brand-new founder account rolling out paid VIP sections and calling for volunteer staff to help run them. The post bundled several separate content categories together as launch promos, and closed by pitching recruitment for a 'cracking' team to keep new content flowing. It's a snapshot of the site's earliest, most freewheeling days before any real moderation structure existed, with a single reply from a long-time member (1000+ posts) shortly after.

VIP sections openned for the following areas along with recruiting head staff!!— TickingTime

We are recruiting xxx crackers, if you are interested in joining the fkn0wned team then post passes and pm me for details on how to join— TickingTime

Growing Pains: DoubleVision's Plea for More Posts

670 members, barely 1,000 posts — the founder begs the community to actually show up

A short, early administrative post from FknOwned founder DoubleVision in the site's News + Updates section, dated July 2006. He points out that the forum has racked up 670 members but only around 1,000 posts, calling that ratio disappointing, and urges members to get active and encourage referrals to actually participate rather than just lurk. It's a small snapshot of the site in its infancy, part of the larger 'Deception Network' of cheat/hack forums covering BF2, BF2142, and Counter-Strike.

You guys, we have 670 members and 1k posts? Doesn't sound right.— DoubleVision

HELP FKN !! <3— DoubleVision

TuxifieD's 2006 Welcome/Pitch Post for fkn0wned

The founder's own pitch for fkn0wned, laid out for newcomers back in 2006.

This is a promotional welcome post from December 2006, made by TuxifieD (site founder/CEO, member #3) in the 'Boots Keys' subforum under Site Related. It's essentially an advertisement blurb rattling off what the site offered at the time: Counter-Strike 1.6 and Source content, Battlefield 2 and the then-new Battlefield 2142, plus other games. The page itself is mostly forum navigation chrome (cheat database categories, forum sections like Off-Topic, Trading, GFX Basement, Red Light District) wrapped around one short hype post — a snapshot of the site in its early, ambitious days.

We have here, bf2 hacks in the battlefield 2 hack section and tons of counter strike source hacks with cs hacks and cs cheats— TuxifieD

Come check us out!— TuxifieD

FknBank & Fpoints Market Value Thread

The day fkn0wned tried to invent its own stock market for forum points

A Site Related thread from the old Fkn0wned.com forum tracking the exchange rate of the site's virtual currency, 'fpoints,' against real USD, run through something called FknBank. An admin posted daily market value updates for about a week in August 2008, with the rate fluctuating between roughly $9 and $13.50 per 1000 fpoints. A few regulars chimed in just asking for the numbers to be updated, giving a glimpse of the site's now-defunct internal economy system.

Update Please.— A-Nihilist

Yes, I woudl like a update soon aswell.— Captainplanet

XXX Rules and Regulations!

The fine print for fkn0wned's infamous 18+ password vault — enter at your own risk, kiddies.

A pinned rules post by moderator DCLXVI laying out how the 'Porn Paradise' / XXX Passwords subforum was to be run: proper thread titles, mandatory hide-code tags on links, a minimum ratio of working content, no begging for passwords (unless you were in the elite '1KCLUB'), no off-topic spam, no disrespecting staff, and no complaining about what was shared. It's a classic mid-2000s cheat/warez forum housekeeping post, part gatekeeping and part community etiquette lesson for an age-restricted corner of the site. Reflects the self-moderated, tiered-privilege culture typical of these forums, where donators and top posters got perks ordinary members didn't.

Welcome to Fkn0wned.com - We Moderate Your Fun!

NO requesting. If you do, your topic will be deleted, and you will be warned. This does not apply to 1KCLUB, 1kclub may request at any time..— DCLXVI

Be grateful of what is posted. If you want private passwords/media, join the donators.— DCLXVI

Staff Recruitment Drive (July 2011)

The day Fkn0wned put out a casting call for its next wave of mods — and half the forum showed up just to wish luck.

Admin PopTart posted an open call for new staff/moderators, laying out an application template covering age, location, availability, trustworthiness, and 'why we should pick you.' The thread quickly turned into a low-key community moment: longtime members and VIPs dropped in mostly to wish applicants luck, a few submitted their applications on the spot, and one member asked what staff duties actually involved. Some regulars (like Error 404 and cl4w) opted out, saying they'd wait for a future round. It's a small but telling snapshot of how the site's internal hierarchy and 'crew' culture worked.

We look for trustworthy people in staff, how can we trust you?— [FkN] PopTart

Word of advice for all hopefuls, make your application count, put effort into it. Dont make it too short :) Admins love lengthy ones ;)— [FkN] Zyzz

Don't apply if you're going to bail on us in a month.— [FkN] PopTart

Speak Your Mind

Staff begged members to stop being scared of the banhammer — thread promptly derails into ninja emojis and someone offering to get "inside" a crew member

An SMod post trying to reassure the community that Fkn0wned wasn't a dictatorship and that members shouldn't fear bans for voicing opinions, drawing a line between constructive feedback and 'whining' about warns. Staff and VIPs chimed in supportively, but true to forum form the thread quickly spiraled into inside jokes, a random declaration that 'randy' is the coolest kid on the forums, and general goofing off. One member (ReMiiX) closed the thread by pointing out, ironically, that its own derailment into spam was exactly why people don't take 'speak your mind' threads seriously.

TL:DR - Chill out guys, we aren't tyrants. BANHAMMER TIME .... kidding— [FkN] Emrys

Speak motha fucks speak!— [FkN] Phenex

This thread is a prime example of why others don't speak their mind on these forums. Starts off serious ends with a bunch of spam posts.— [VIP] ReMiiX™

October 20th Newsletter

The bank's closed, the lotto's rigged fair, and someone got defaced — welcome to Fkn0wned's monthly update.

A staff newsletter from site owner/CEO TuxifieD announcing site-wide changes: SEO/security upgrades (with a warning that a login prompt might briefly appear), the closure of the points 'bank' and an overhaul of the lottery system, a call for coders (explicitly not HTML-only), a push to recruit an advertisement team, and some boastful call-outs about defacing rival sites. The points/bank closure hit a nerve — several members lost stored points they'd earned or traded for (including accounts and rapidshare logins), sparking grumbling in the replies even as most members reacted positively to the security and recruiting news. Regulars traded the usual mix of hype, jokes, and minor bickering across two pages of replies.

Fkn0wned is one of the most feared and respected cheat/hack sites out and because of that we are a big target for attempted hacks.— TuxifieD

I cried when I saw the points update. Oh well, i'll find another way to get cybersex.— Arcade

I hope they get bad, alot of people sold steam accounts and rapidshare accounts and shit for points, then it was all for nothing... -owned..— rnie

[OFFICIAL] Fkn0wned Toolbar launch thread

The day Fkn0wned got its own browser toolbar — and the forum lost its mind over it.

Admin ap3x announces the official Fkn0wned browser toolbar, packed with an RSS feed for new topics, quick links to the homepage/hack database/forum, a Twitter feed tie-in, and a custom real-time site-announcements module. The thread is a wave of short congratulatory replies from members and staff praising the design, with only minor pushback on the logo. It's a snapshot of the site's mid-2010 self-promotion era, back when custom toolbars were a normal thing forums built for their communities.

best .exe porn i evar downloaded (y)— lulraep

Like i said everythings epic except the logo the gfx should make a more fit one imo— NIX

Holy shit, thats awesome. Nice work ap3x, +rep.— mr apple

ShareTheAmateur Offline.

Fkn0wned's in-house amateur porn site quietly pulls the plug — 3,000+ members left asking 'where do we get our fix now?'

Founder TuxifieD announces that ShareTheAmateur.com, a sister site tied to the forum, has been discontinued due to lack of manpower to run it properly, despite gaining over 3,000 members quickly. Members react with a mix of disappointment and pragmatism, floating ideas like selling the site to an investor or folding its porn gallery into the main Fkn0wned forum under a revived 'XXX Crew' of old moderators. A former ShareTheAmateur moderator (C4nn4fix) laments having just uploaded hundreds of images before the shutdown, while others swap suggestions for alternative porn sites to fill the gap.

We have discontinued sharetheamateur.com , you can leave your comments and questions here. I believe we do not have the man power to make it what we want to make it right now.— TuxifieD

:-( i am not happy about this.. i just uploaded 300 images.. but what can i do now..— C4nn4fix

I think it's good to shut it down, Why have a special site for pr0n if you can just hold it here on fkn— misterfopje

How to Connect to the Fkn0wned IRC Server

The sticky nobody read: a step-by-step guide to the FkN IRC channel that everyone still messed up

A member named h4voCK wrote a beginner-friendly walkthrough for connecting to the Fkn0wned IRC server using mIRC or XChat, complete with SSL setup instructions, aimed at stopping the flood of members asking how to connect over MSN. It got stickied by a moderator despite sticky-fatigue on the board, and the replies turned into a mini tech-support thread with a member named slingblade struggling through connection errors, other members offering fixes, cracked software links, and BNC workarounds. Someone even noted the actual IRC channel was 'damn near deserted' once they finally got in — a small, telling moment about the community's fading activity.

I'm personally sick of how many people can't connect to the FkN IRC. It's not that hard.— h4voCK

even though it occurs to me that the fkn0wned channel is damn near deserted— slingblade

Remember, in a world of errors, Google is your best friend.— ap3x

General Section Opened to Guest Posts

Fkn0wned briefly let anyone post without an account — 'it's like 4chan on fkn0wned'

Founder TuxifieD announced that the General section no longer required registration, letting guests post freely 'for the lulz.' Staff and long-timers reacted with a mix of amusement and wary skepticism, comparing the move to 4chan-style anonymous posting. A few side complaints crept in about a broken code/verification system and an unrelated ban query, plus grumbling about an expected wave of spam.

I believe it will bring lulz. Enjoy.— TuxifieD

KEKKEEKEKKEE IT'S LIKE 4CHAN ON FKN0WNED HHHEHEHEHEHEHEE— h4voCK

One bad thing , more fagg0ts gonna be spamming.— Junnyerr

Recruiting Marketing Agents // SEO Specialists

Fkn0wned's founder tries to hire the forum's way into the big leagues — with an SEO recruiting drive, a promised resume reference, and a guy offering to make a commercial vid for weed money.

Founder TuxifieD posted an official recruitment call for marketing/SEO-minded members to help grow fkn0wned's traffic, offering to personally vouch as a professional reference for U.S.-based members with marketing degrees. The thread drew a wave of supportive replies, a few PM applications, and the usual mix of earnest suggestions (promo videos, MySpace pages, SEO theory from a college class) and jokes (billboards, a 'Fkn0wned tour' pitch from a touring band member, an 18-year-old offering to make a video for weed). A side exchange about whether the site was 'dead' briefly flared before Kimmi and others voiced support for the initiative.

We are looking for seriously skilled inviduals only who really can help fkn0wned grow to be a very large site.— TuxifieD

yo i can do anything you like all io need is some weed and im creative as hell— madmichael

the fuck are you talking about? It's' not dead at all, just all the spammers has left :)— f0wh

Site Changes (March 2009 Forum Restructure)

The day Fkn0wned gutted its dead forums and gave the artists a home

Founder TuxifieD announced a forum restructuring, cutting underused sections like Homework, Spartan Project, Geek Lounge, and Debate Hall, and adding a new Art & Design category with Graphics, Video Production, Graffiti/Drafting, and a revived Sig Of The Week contest forum. The community response was overwhelmingly positive, with members praising the cleanup of dead sections and excitement over the new creative forums, though a couple of members mourned the loss of Debate Hall and Geek Lounge. TuxifieD confirmed old content was backed up rather than deleted outright. The thread is a small but telling snapshot of how the site managed its identity shift toward art/design and away from some general chatter forums.

Down with the useless sections— f0wh

i would dominate the graffiti section ;) haha i like it— Shadovv

Its cool but debate hall and geek lounge were section that I liked... But oh well changes are good— beNnbeNn

USA VIP Sale + Donator Group Opened

Cheap VIP, free steam accounts, no PayPal needed... unless you weren't American.

Founder TuxifieD announced a limited-time VIP sale exclusively for US-based members, offering monthly and lifetime VIP deals with bonus free Steam accounts, plus a new donator tier for bigger contributions that unlocked special staff-section access. Purchases were handled directly via PM to Tux rather than through PayPal or a credit card. The thread quickly filled with envy and grumbling from Canadian and European members who felt left out of the deal, including a pointed complaint about the fairness of a US-only promotion on an international community site.

Why is this US only... you only reward the Americans? Not a good way to treat the community fairly.— ghostling

thats the downside of living in a place with free health care— neverl3ss

What about Canadians? We're on the same continent! :(— Pestilence

Bank Interest

A points-bank interest rate cut to 1% sparks a two-week forum meltdown that ends with the whole system getting shut down

A member noticed the site's forum points bank interest rate had dropped from a presumably much higher rate to just 1%, and asked if it was intentional. The thread turned into a long back-and-forth about fairness, whether the points system should be restarted, and how people were gaming interest for easy points, pulling in dozens of regular members and a couple of staff. It ends with staff (Shifty) confirming the bank/points system was being shut down, either permanently or until spam-farming through interest could be fixed — a small but telling snapshot of early forum economy drama and mod intervention.

lol i ruined it for everyone i told tux how i get like 190 a day srry =/— mr.N0Nam3

1%...might as well just be 0— Legit_Hacks

Bank/Point system is shut down either for good or until we find a better way for people to not spam so many points through interest.— Shifty.
