James and the Giant Peach (1996) movie share thread
Someone dropped a Tim Burton/Henry Selick classic in the Red Light District, and the fans came out of the woodwork
A member of the '[FkN] Ragers' group posted a piracy-share thread for the 1996 stop-motion film James and the Giant Peach, complete with a synopsis and a set of hidden download links (as was standard for the Red Light District > Movies subforum). Two replies followed, both just enthusiastic nods to the film being a nostalgic favorite. Nothing dramatic here, just a quiet slice of the site's file-sharing culture and members bonding over a shared childhood movie.
OMFG THIS MOVIE PWNS /cum /cum— mr.N0Nam3
lol oldd scoolll but a very good movie at that— scuddzilla
Top 100 Hard and Heavy Music
One member's massive hair-metal-to-thrash mixtape list, quietly bumped for months by grateful lurkers
In the Music subforum of the Red Light District section, user rhion82 posted an extensive numbered rundown of 100 hard rock/heavy metal tracks spanning classic acts like AC/DC, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Accept, Saxon, and thrash/death metal names like Kreator, Voivod, and Possessed. The thread got little real discussion — mostly a string of short 'thx', 'ty', and 'lol' replies from other members over the following weeks and months. It's a modest but sincere example of the kind of media-sharing content that filled the Red Light District besides the software and porn boards.
yay— .:BaTmAn:.
thx— dark_skillz
Billboard Top 100 Rock/Pop of 2007 share thread
Someone dumped the entire 2007 Billboard Rock/Pop chart as an MP3 pack in the Red Light District — pure mid-2000s radio nostalgia.
In the Music subforum of the Red Light District section, user rhion82 posted a shared compilation of the Billboard Rock/Pop Top 100 for 2007, complete with a full 100-track listing spanning that year's mainstream hits from Daniel Powter to Justin Timberlake to Fall Out Boy. The thread drew only a couple of low-effort replies, typical of a file-share post rather than a discussion. It's a small but perfectly preserved time capsule of what was topping the charts the year this forum was active.

Chat up Customer Support!
OG haggling advice: how one member squeezed freebies and discounts out of chat support reps
A member named topupthetrip shared a casual life-hack thread about negotiating with online retailers' customer support (chat or phone) to get discounts, extended subscriptions, or freebies, framed as a form of social engineering. The thread got a little traction with the forum owner TuxifieD asking for specifics, a quick thanks from Justified, and a skeptical jab from aabee calling it 'social engineering and little blackmailing.' Low-key, mundane thread compared to the board's usual fare, but a nice slice of the community's everyday chatter.
Its a surprise people don't do this more often. I've made it sort of a habit.— topupthetrip
Just social engineering and little blackmailing it seems— aabee
55 Ways to Have Fun With Google
A random Google trivia ebook drop that somehow kept old fkn0wned regulars replying for months
A member named asshoel50 posted a Rapidshare link to an ebook called '55 Ways to Have Fun with Google' in the Electronic & Audio books subforum of the Red Light District section. The thread is mostly low-effort replies over several months (Nov 2007 to Mar 2008) — thanks, one-word reactions, and a handful of 'unhide' requests once mods added a hidden-content warn system. It's a pretty unremarkable warez-sharing thread, but a decent snapshot of the forum's day-to-day rhythm and rank culture (Noob, Trained Noob, 1000 Club, etc.).
google snake game wtf— andythesk8r
Nice now I won't be bored anymore— {}JuNNeZ{}
Easy Mentalism ebook share
A guide to reading minds, shared like it was just another cracked game — classic Red Light District filler.
A member posted a share of an 'Easy Mentalism' e-book/booklet covering mind-reading and mentalist party tricks, tucked away in the site's Electronic & Audio books subforum under the Red Light District. The thread ran from late 2007 into early 2008, drawing a steady trickle of low-effort thank-you replies typical of file-share threads on the forum. It's a small, quirky artifact showing how the RLD section hosted everything from software to random self-help/novelty ebooks, not just the usual pirated media.
Muwahaha, I am going to take over the world with my mind reading skillz— chooken
That woulda been real cool. Too bad 90 days is up. Did anyone actually learn anything from it?— Elleray
Channel One News
A forgotten rant about the high-school news show everybody had to sit through in homeroom.
A short-lived rant thread in the Rants and Raves section where Prof_Oak vented about Channel One News, the classroom news broadcast shown in American high schools, calling it a waste of time full of dumb or made-up stories. Only one other member, aesir09, chimed in, agreeing and noting their school had stopped airing it. A tiny, low-key slice of shared teenage school-days grumbling rather than any real drama.
it is a news shoe for high schools... They have the dumbest news stories, sometimes they just make stuff up, and in general, it's a waste of 15 minutes— Prof_Oak
i remember when we had to wait that stupid fucking shit. now we don't which i'm proud of— aesir09
DX10+Vista vs DX9+XP
A guy with a Sapphire Radeon 2400 Pro asks the internet's oldest 2008 question: Vista's eye candy or XP's raw framerates?
A member weighing a GPU upgrade (an 8800GT) debates whether to stick with Vista Basic for DX10 support or downgrade to XP for better benchmark performance, citing early complaints about Vista's overhead. Another member points out the thread doesn't really fit 'Rants and Raves' since it's more of a genuine tech question than an angry rant, while a third poster (a banned member) chimes in. It's a small, mundane snapshot of the DX9-vs-DX10, XP-vs-Vista transition debate that consumed PC gaming forums in that era.
the new Service pack for XP puts scores in 3dmark nearly DOUBLE that of the same setup in vista because of the sucky coding in vista.— Devlin1991
Oh and how is this a rant and rave? You don't sound angry. More of a suggestion thread.— wirmware
Vista Rage Thread: BF2142 Crashes
A guy loses his mind at Windows Vista for crashing his BF2142 games every hour on the dot
A member named NeVeRbEbLoOd vents about Windows Vista crashing Battlefield 2142 on him hourly, mid-firefight, blaming Vista, lag, an annoying player called KaIN, and Australian internet speeds. A few members chime in with the obvious fixes of the era: downgrade to XP SP2 or switch to Linux. Classic low-stakes Rants and Raves fare from the forum's Off-Topic section, short and casual with no real drama beyond one guy's tech frustration.
FCUK VSTIA... FCUK KaIN... FCUK LaGGers who won't leave and FCUK aUStrALIan InTERNet SpEEd5— NeVeRbEbLoOd

YOB BRITAIN! - a 2008 rant about UK street violence
A Fkn0wned member's cousin got jumped and beaten — cue a full-throated rant about Britain's 'yob culture'
In this Rants and Raves thread from January 2008, member -Shikari- vents after his cousin and a friend were assaulted and injured by a group of attackers in the UK, with one suffering a fractured jaw. The post spirals into a broader complaint about rising youth violence ('yob culture'), weak sentencing, and fear of being branded racist for self-defense, linking to Sun tabloid articles and praising then-Tory leader David Cameron's stance on the issue. It's a classic off-topic forum rant thread — personal grievance turned into a wider social/political gripe, with another member (cedars) starting to reply before the archive cuts off.
It just fucking pisses me off how they think they can do what they want, rule wherever they live.— -Shikari-
If you think the laws are too harsh, then just don't fucking break them in the first place!— -Shikari-
German Mix-Thread: Christmas Chat & the '1000 Club' Laptop Joke
The German crew's dumping-ground thread: Christmas plans, snowboard trips, and inside jokes about a mysterious '1000 Club' laptop.
This was the catch-all 'Mix-Thread' in the Deutsche Hacks sub-board, where German-speaking members chatted about whatever didn't fit elsewhere. In this stretch of posts from December 2007, the conversation drifted to Christmas plans and a running joke about a legendary laptop tied to the site's '1000 Club' rank, with members bantering about its supposed rarity and perks. It's a low-key, casual slice of the community's off-topic culture rather than any cheat or drama thread.
das geilste am 1000 club sind ja wohl die rs prem accounts!! dieser laptops ist schon ein guter junge mann!!— LoRd Ragealot
Der Laptops ist ne raritt.— Keskin^
150 Dreamweaver Templates! (Scripts & Templates dump)
Someone dumped 150 Dreamweaver website templates into the Red Light District's warez corner — classic 2008 forum currency.
A post in the Scripts & Templates subforum (under the site's 'Red Light District' section) offered a bundle of 150 Dreamweaver web design templates for download, posted by prolific member LoRd Ragealot, whose title 'Lord PostAlotWarez' hints at his reputation for churning out these kinds of resource-sharing threads. A couple of replies followed, including one from Millishka, an Australian BF2 player. It's a small snapshot of the era's file-sharing culture, where forums doubled as warez repositories for design assets, cheats, and tools.
AKA "Lord PostAlotWarez"— LoRd Ragealot
Eat me!— Millishka
The Kingdom (2007) DVDrip Movie Share Thread
Before streaming was a thing, this is how you watched Jamie Foxx on a Tuesday night.
A short-lived movie-sharing post in Gametration.com's 'Red Light District > Movies' subforum, where user saikun posted download links (Megaupload/Rapidshare, split into multiple parts) for the 2007 film 'The Kingdom' starring Jamie Foxx. A handful of members dropped by over the following weeks just to say thanks or ask to have the hidden links revealed. It's a small, unremarkable-but-charming snapshot of the era's file-sharing culture that lived alongside the site's main cheat-scene focus.

Will Vista Support Steam?
2007's burning question: can Windows Vista even run Steam?
A member asks whether the newly-released Windows Vista supports Steam, after hearing secondhand that it might work. Regulars and staff chime in to confirm Steam and most games (HL2, CS:S, DOD:S, CS 1.6) ran fine on Vista, with a few noting slower performance or hack compatibility quirks. A pretty mundane but time-capsule-worthy tech support thread from the early Vista adoption era.
Steam right now is pretty much 100% compatible the games on the other hand are all independent so it can be hit and miss.— Malware
vista is not so diffrent from XP.. just layouts and where things are placed.— Zappzo
Smash Bros Loot Crate Revealed
That time Nintendo and Loot Crate teamed up and the forum just wanted in on the amiibo haul
A 2014 news post in the Console Gaming News section shared details of a Nintendo x Loot Crate promotion tied to Super Smash Bros, listing the prize contents for the big Mega Crate and smaller Mini Mega Crate giveaways. The thread got a handful of replies from members expressing envy and hope of winning a crate themselves rather than any real discussion or drama. A pretty low-key, everyday news-sharing post typical of the gaming news subforum.
i so want this!— InfectedKush
I love loot crate, i have 2 more months until i have to resub. Hopefully I get a mini crate sometime— skata3000
160 All-In-One's (AIO) Part 5 — RapidShare Warez Dump
A wall of RapidShare links promising the internet's biggest All-In-One download pack — RIP.
A Warez-section post from Kimmi (a forum Smod) dumping part 5 of a massive 'All-In-One' RapidShare link collection, covering everything from converters to phone unlocking tools to antivirus AIOs, all credited to uploader Mustafa2403. The page also carries a site-wide banner advertising a public giveaway event with free Steam accounts and RapidShare prizes for active users. It's a classic snapshot of the late-2000s/early-2010s warez-forum grind: link-hoarding threads, tinypic thumbnails, and community giveaways used to keep activity up.
Public Give Aways! Give away section now open for everyone!! Random steam and rapidshare give aways all day!! Better be on and better be active!!

[RS][Software] Internet Download Manager 5.15 — RapidShare Warez Post
A 2009 RapidShare drop for a cracked download manager, filed away in the Warez basement.
A short, no-frills warez post by forum founder TuxifieD sharing a RapidShare link and password for a full version of Internet Download Manager 5.15, dated April 2009. It's a classic piece of old-school forum filler: a founder-level member dropping cracked software links with a quick virus-scan disclaimer, typical of the Red Light District/Warez culture on this board. The page also preserves the full old forum directory structure, showing the site's sprawl across gaming, tech/security, GFX, and 'Black Market' sections, alongside a banner touting public giveaways of steam accounts and rapidshare goodies.
Checked With Mcafee Anti Virus— TuxifieD
Steam accounts valued over $400+ with tons of games on them!!!
Navicat for MySQL Enterprise v8.2.13 + Serial
A cracked database tool, some griping about Rapidshare, and a stray shout-out to free steam giveaways — 2010 fkn0wned in a nutshell.
A short 'Warez' section thread where longtime member conTagious shared a cracked copy of Navicat for MySQL Enterprise v8.2.13, name-dropping that he'd used it to build database models for a webhosting site. Fellow member aimshot120 mirrored the download and thanked him for the 'warezz,' while conTagious groused about how much better this direct download was compared to the hassle of waiting on Rapidshare. The page also carried leftover site chrome advertising an open giveaway section promising Steam accounts worth $400+ and random daily prizes.
ok, but thats peanuts compared to 2 minute waiting lines for rapidshare, i cant even fucking download from rapidshare... and i dont want to register an account— conTagious
Thx for the warezz :)— aimshot120
Hacking E-Book Megashare Thread
One mega-list of every early-2000s hacking book you half-remember pirating
A member named jETZKYE posted a large list of classic computer security and 'hacking' e-books (Hacking Exposed, The Art of Deception, Hackers Beware, Google Hacking for Penetration Testers, and dozens more), gated behind a reply-to-unlock hidden download link, in the Red Light District's E-Books & Magazines subforum. The thread got a handful of quick 'ty'/'+rep' replies over the following weeks and months, with the last reply coming over a year later, typical of these low-effort bump-and-thank share threads. It's a small snapshot of the site's warez-sharing culture rather than any real discussion or drama.
Dont forget to +rep for the share— jETZKYE
Thanks for the share! +rep— Fosex
Free Xbox Live Codes... in Exchange for Referral Spam
One member's 'free Xbox Live codes' hustle got called out as spam before it even got going.
A member named joseph504 pitched a classic 2007-era referral scheme, offering 48-hour Xbox Live Gold trial codes to anyone who signed up for survey/ad sites under his referral ID and sent proof. Another member, UserID_7588, immediately flagged it as the kind of advertising-for-other-sites move that gets accounts banned or warned, recalling a past ban of their own for similar behavior. A third poster, l3m0nz, jumped in anyway with their own competing referral pitch for a 'free iPod Touch' site, mockingly one-upping the original offer. The thread is a tiny, dated snapshot of the mid-2000s CPA/referral-marketing spam that circulated through gaming forums.
stoopid nub, gonna get warned if not banned— UserID_7588
haha 1 48hrs code ! lmao— l3m0nz
Jurassic World - Media Review by TuxifieD
Fkn0wned's owner reviews Jurassic World and has some strong opinions about the 3D
A short movie review thread posted in the Media Review section by TuxifieD, the forum's Owner, covering the 2015 dinosaur blockbuster Jurassic World. He gives a brief plot rundown, rates it 4.5/5, praises the dinosaur-on-dinosaur action, and warns readers not to bother seeing it in 3D. No replies followed, a quiet little time capsule of off-topic movie chatter from a gaming/cheat forum.
DO NOT GO SEE IN 3D, IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY 3D PARTS TO IT IMO.— TuxifieD
I would give this a 4.5/5, really enjoyed it— TuxifieD
Superfoods to Boost Male Health
A wellness thread derailed by a House M.D. reference and a Brazil-nuts-vs-cocaine joke.
A stray health-and-fitness thread on the Fkn0wned forum offering diet tips, which got a typically off-topic community response. One member cited a Brazil-nut poisoning episode of House as grounds to dismiss the advice, prompting a joking reply questioning whether it was really nuts or something else entirely. Low-effort but classic forum banter, more notable for the vibe than any real content.
I saw an episode of House where a guy almost died from eating Brazil nuts. Therefore, your information is invalid.— #420
You sure they were brazilian nuts not cocaine.
Halo 4 Leaked Footage Torrent Chatter
Pre-release Halo 4 leak talk, sketchy torrents, and a begged-for download link
A thread in the console gaming discussion area where members traded talk about leaked Halo 4 footage/files ahead of release. The conversation drifts into torrent reliability, warnings about tampered files that could get Xbox users banned, and the usual back-and-forth of someone asking a member to just send it to them directly. Panda, a VIP member with a signature full of GFX-crew shoutouts, is the main voice captured here, giving off the classic early-2010s forum mix of gaming hype and mild paranoia about bans.
people have editted files in them because they cannot be checked against the database to see if there is any edited files (abgx) so you will get banned using them but I am not completely sure.— Panda
can you send me it pl0x— Panda
Two Brothers Steam Key Raffle
A quick 'in' spam-fest for a free Steam key, complete with copy-pasted vouch novellas.
This was a small giveaway/raffle thread in the Public Giveaways section where a member offered a Steam key (for a game referred to as 'Two Brothers') and forum regulars posted one-word 'in' entries to enter. One reply, from onlyjusttruth, oddly dumps a wall of unrelated trade vouches praising a trader's smooth CS:GO and BFBC2 account trades. Kirito closes out the visible page celebrating a win with a 'Winner winner chicken dinner!' line and a nod to old forum sig-makers Panda and Angelsdead.
Winner winner chicken dinner!— Kirito
i did get his CS;GO account ! trustable guy ! thanks for trade— onlyjusttruth
The Mystery Gifter
A mystery gifter kept showering one member with presents — and nobody knew who it was.
A member named Seaking posted in General Discussion claiming someone had anonymously 'gifted' them three times, seemingly a Steam or forum-related gifting feature, and expressed confused amusement rather than alarm. The thread was light and jokey ('in a good way') rather than an actual complaint about harassment. A GFX staffer, -Shikari-, replied early on, though the rest of the discussion isn't captured here.
This is the third time this person has gifted me...Wtf? I don't even know who it is.— Seaking
My Present to Fkn0wned! (the GIF thread)
A staffer whips up a homemade GIF 'gift' for the site out of pure jealousy — and drops it in Off-Topic for the verdict.
In December 2007, staff member Industry posted a self-made animated GIF as a lighthearted gift to the Fkn0wned community, admitting he made it because he'd seen other members' GIFs and got jealous. It's a quick, low-stakes Off-Topic post inviting reactions, with fellow staffer Scratch chiming in right after. A small, casual snapshot of the site's General Discussion culture rather than any major event.
lol i made you a "gif" hehe...ironic! what you guys think? i saw [censored]s and i got jealous lol— Industry
Scam-Baiting Callout Thread
One dude drops a Steam name and dares the forum to go scam him — classic thec0re chaos.
A short 2007 General Discussion thread where user thesource calls out a Steam contact as an easy scam target and eggs on other members to add him and report back on 'owning' him. Blaqk replies almost immediately, but the thread cuts off before anyone confirms a result. It's a small, blunt snapshot of the casual scam-baiting culture that ran alongside the site's cheat scene.
Someone add this to steam g2cursed lmao wait till he gets owned! post back here when u scam him lol— thesource
After the Snowfall - Backyard Snow Pics
A banned member named Traitor once just... shared some snow pics of his backyard.
A short, quiet General Discussion post from February 2008 where a user going by 'Traitor' shared a few photos of snow-covered scenery in his Canadian backyard, simply remarking on how pretty it looked. No drama, no cheats talk — just a small slice of ordinary forum life between members. Notable mainly because the poster's account is marked as banned in this archived snapshot, hinting at a story the thread itself doesn't tell.
That's our backyard. Ain't it pretty?— Traitor
Crazy Low Digits in the Same Server
One Norwegian pub server, a screenshot full of ancient SteamIDs — and everyone lost it over the digit count
Sonikk posted a screenshot from a Norwegian public Counter-Strike 1.6 server showing an unusual cluster of players with very low-digit SteamIDs, which he'd noticed while sizing up opponents by their account age. The find sparked some mild disbelief in the thread since most players' IDs ran 7-8 digits long. It's a small, casual General Discussion post typical of the site's community-driven, screenshot-and-react culture.
i always use to take a look at the SteamIDs to see if they have some skill or just luckers..— Sonikk
What Are Cafe Accounts? (Newbie Question, 2007)
A 2007 newbie asks what 'cafe accounts' even are — and gets schooled by a mod nicknamed 'Pro Scammer'
A member called laptops opens the thread admitting he's a noob and asking what CAFE accounts are and why people want them. A Super Moderator, DCLXVI (tagged with the title 'Pro Scammer'), responds, presumably to explain. It's a small, everyday slice of the forum's culture around 2007 — casual gaming/cheat-scene jargon being passed down from veterans to newer members.
sorry i am going to sound like a noob, but what are CAFE acciunts and what are the advantages? thank you.— laptops
Sector9 Longboard Show-Off
A guy shows off his new longboard and the CS:S mod section legend just... shows up
A casual Off-Topic post where member Goodapollo shares photos of his brand-new Sector9 cruiser longboard, including custom rails, redbone wheels, and an old-school board trick shot. It's a low-key hobby-sharing thread typical of the forum's General Discussion section, where skating and non-gaming interests got their moment alongside the usual cheat-scene talk. Shifty, a longtime Super Moderator with a very low member number (6), replied shortly after, showing how core staff stayed active even in casual threads.
I'm happy because my new sector9 cruiser longboard came in today sooooo much fun i love it.— Goodapollo
Various Passes (Porn Paradise dump thread)
Nineteen pages of a mod dumping links in the forum's R18 basement.
A thread in the 'XXX Passwords' subforum of Fkn0wned.Com's 18+ 'Porn Paradise' section, started by a Super Moderator (DCLXVI) sharing adult site access. The gated intro warned it was for over-18 users only, in the site's typically irreverent tone. The thread ran long (19 pages), suggesting it was a recurring dumping ground rather than a one-off post.
Hi kiddies, this section is rated R18. Do not come in here unless you are over 18 years old or your parents don't care about your bad habbits.
And the tinhats get vindication: Spy satellites
Domestic spy satellites turned on US soil — the tinfoil hat crowd says 'told you so'
A thread in the Debating subforum linking a 2007 MSNBC article about a (then-shelved) US government program to use spy satellites domestically. The OP frames it as vindication for 'tinhat' conspiracy types and asks whether it's another erosion of civil liberties, sparking a mild political/philosophical discussion. Typical of the Debating board's occasional dips into real-world news and government-surveillance paranoia amid the usual gaming-forum crowd.
Its on hold now, but it was certainly in the works and may yet go through... For me, I could see it being used for a real threat, but certainly not preemptively. Is this another nail in the coffin of civil liberties?— 1 K Wonder
something ive never understood.
Old heads pondering why some CS:S players never seem to log off the server.
A short, casual Off-Topic/Debating thread on Fkn0wned.Com where members mused about players who rack up absurd hours sitting in the same Counter-Strike: Source server. The tone is light and jokey rather than heated, with posters riffing on the 'get a life' angle and plugging FkN as a better use of time. It's a small slice of everyday forum banter rather than any major event.
yer i agree with ur mr noname, lol, iv never thought of it like that, when u hav ur server list up, some of the players have been in the sever for like 4+ hours....hmmmm...need a life, or a new hobby, but most of all obv need to join FkN then he wudnt need to spend his life on CS:S— Famousss
Taylor Swift (Deluxe Edition) (2007) album share thread
Back when a fkn0wned music sub-board casually dropped Taylor Swift's debut album for the taking
A member of the Red Light District's Music board posted a share thread for Taylor Swift's self-titled 2007 debut album, deluxe edition, complete with cover art, chart stats, and full tracklist. It's a snapshot of the era when file-sharing threads on gaming/cheat forums doubled as informal music blogs. The post reads like a promo blurb, likely copy-pasted, touting her chart records and rapid Platinum certification.
Taylor's self-titled debut album is the only country release to spend 8 consecutive weeks at #1 on Billboard's Country Albums Chart.
3D Mark 06 + Working Keygen
Someone shared a cracked copy of the 90s-2000s gold-standard GPU benchmark, split across seven Rapidshare links
A member named ericsme123 posted a Rapidshare-hosted, multi-part download of 3DMark06 (the widely used PC gaming benchmark tool) along with a password, framed with copy-pasted marketing blurb about the software's features. The thread got one reply from Jack Bauer asking a slightly confused question about whether it would 'recommend settings' for better gameplay — otherwise it's a quiet, low-engagement post typical of the Red Light District's Software subforum, which was full of these piracy/warez-style shares.
so will this recommend settings to make gameplay better???— Jack Bauer
WinRAR 3.71 share thread
A whole page of 'ty' just for a free WinRAR link — peak old-forum energy.
A simple software-sharing thread in the Red Light District > Software subforum where user pyeman posted a copy of WinRAR 3.71, likely to dodge the nagging registration/trial popups. The replies are the classic low-effort 'ty' chain typical of warez-adjacent forums, with a couple of members noting they were happy to be rid of the registration window. Nothing dramatic happened here — it's a small, mundane utility-sharing post that got bumped along by gratitude replies over several months in late 2007.
finally no more annoying registration windows— dainbramaged
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 share thread
A mod drops Premiere Pro CS3 in the Red Light District so the site's GFX crowd can start cutting their own movies.
In the Software subforum of Fkn0wned's Red Light District section, Supervisor 'Shifty.' posted a share thread for Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, complete with the usual copy-pasted Adobe marketing blurb about its editing and integration features (the actual image/download links are lost to time). A regular member chimed in thanking him, saying they needed it for a new movie project, and another user posted shortly after. A pretty typical software-sharing thread from the era of forums doubling as informal software libraries.
thnx!! i need this for my new movie.— Trained Noob
MILF Lessons rapidshare share thread - Porn Paradise
An old-school rapidshare porn-share thread from Fkn0wned's infamous 'Porn Paradise' board.
A thread in the Images/Videos subforum of Fkn0wned.Com's adult-content section, 'Porn Paradise', posted by longtime member Guru in 2007. It's a typical rapidshare-link share thread for an adult video series, gated behind an R18 disclaimer warning younger members and parents to stay out. The thread ran to at least 4 pages, suggesting decent engagement typical of the board's file-sharing culture.
Hi kiddies, this section is rated R18, that means adults only.
5 Demonoid Invites Giveaway
A member handed out rare Demonoid invites to the General Discussion crowd back in '09
A quick giveaway thread from April 2009 where member jab2000 offered up Demonoid invite codes for two accounts to fellow forum members. Demonoid was a heavily invite-gated private torrent tracker at the time, so invites were considered a small prize among file-sharing and warez-adjacent crowds. The thread got a couple of quick replies from regulars NIX (of the Warez Crew) and ZoaQ (of the Graphics Crew), typical of the fast, low-effort exchanges common in General Discussion giveaway threads.
ty— NIX
Windows XP x32 or x64 - Which is Better?
A 2007 debate over 32-bit vs 64-bit XP, complete with a guy handing out free product keys
A short-lived General Discussion thread from June 2007 asking whether Windows XP x32 or x64 was the better OS. The original poster claimed x64 was faster but incompatible with hacking at the time, and offered to hand out product keys to interested members. Only a couple of replies came in before the thread trailed off, including one from longtime crew member Janza.
Windows XP x64 is faster but you cant hack with it.— officerownage
Post your cool black guy...
A 2008 meme thread where the Off-Topic regulars just dumped their favorite 'cool black guy' images, Deebo included
A lighthearted image-dump thread in the General Discussion board where members posted pictures/memes of 'cool black guy' characters, kicked off by co-manager Shifty with a Deebo image from Friday movie fame. Typical early-2000s forum humor thread with low effort, high nostalgia value, and staff members participating alongside regulars. Nothing dramatic, just classic off-topic filler content typical of the era's imageboard-adjacent culture.
I'll start: Deebo r legend.— Shifty
Whats good? - Assassin's Creed vs BioShock vs Mass Effect
Back in 2007, fkn0wned members hashed out the ultimate holiday gaming purchase: Assassin's Creed, BioShock, or Mass Effect?
A December 2007 General Discussion thread where a member named pato asked for help deciding between Assassin's Creed, BioShock, and Mass Effect. A handful of regulars weighed in with quick opinions, with Peski-Ruski giving the most detailed breakdown, calling BioShock too short and framing the other two as better long-term picks. It's a low-stakes, casual thread typical of the site's Off-Topic section — gamers just chatting about what to buy with their money.
BioShock is too short, don't buy it. Mass Effect if you want a long term FPSRPG, and Assassins Creed if you want a brand new expirience on gaming platforms.— Peski-Ruski
MiniCity browser game share
HaSh drags the whole Off-Topic board into a browser game rabbit hole.
A short, low-key thread started by staff member HaSh sharing myminicity.com, an old browser-based city-building game that was briefly popular as a time-waster on forums like this one. The post is brief and casual, just flagging the game as 'addictive' with no further discussion captured. It's a small, fun snapshot of the kind of low-effort Off-Topic filler threads that filled General Discussion between the site's more serious cheat/gaming content.
This shit is addictive.— HaSh
TV Links IS RECOVERED
An old member burst in yelling that a dead piracy streaming site had come back from the grave.
A short, excited post announcing that the defunct free TV/movie streaming site 'TV Links' had apparently been resurrected via a backup mirror. The OP, hunterbrute224, spammed the link with enthusiasm calling it 'epic fucking epic' and asked others to report any dead links. A reply came in from long-time member Arcade shortly after, though the thread cuts off before showing much discussion.
Must go now, someone recovered the website omfg epic fucking epic Finally Piracy Lives on— hunterbrute224
Spam Ad Disguised as Ban 'Solution' Gets Instantly Torched
A guy tries to advertise his own site as the "solution" to bans — gets called a faggot in reply, thread dies on the spot.
A short-lived thread in General Discussion where user swat0880 posted what was billed as a 'solution' to people getting banned, but it turned out to just be a thinly-veiled ad for an outside site (GameConn.net) promising hacks, cheats, and a $50,000 prize giveaway for reaching a post count. The only reply, from Zunder, torched the thread with a one-line insult calling out the transparent advertisement. Classic fkn0wned energy: a bait title, a spam post, and instant community pushback.
Nice fucking solution you faggot.— Zunder
Google Tweaks and Easter Eggs
A 2007 bookmarklet prank that made every image on a page spin around the screen — except FkN's own site.
A short Links/Humor thread from December 2007 where Don Ruski shares a browser trick (a JavaScript bookmarklet) that animates and scatters images on a webpage for laughs, noting wryly that it worked everywhere but on Fkn0wned itself. Industry chimes in right after. It's a small, typical piece of mid-2000s internet fun-sharing — the kind of harmless novelty script people passed around forums before things like this became common knowledge.
lol it works on every site except of FkN.— Don Ruski
The '2 Guys 1 Cup' Shock Link Prank
The classic 2007 shock-link prank, immortalized forever in the Links/Humor graveyard.
A short, of-its-time Off-Topic post from December 2007 where a member named Blaqk dropped a link to the infamous '2 Guys 1 Cup' viral video under the guise of 'rofl,' baiting unsuspecting clickers. PaRaNoID chimed in shortly after, though the reply itself doesn't reveal much beyond forum presence. It's a tiny, dusty artifact of the era's link-prank culture that once thrived across gaming forums like Gametration.
rofl— Blaqk
Crysis Link-Dump Thread (Page 2)
Page two of a decade-old link-dump thread for the game that melted everyone's PC.
A tail-end continuation of a Red Light District 'Games' thread where members posted download links for Crysis, the notoriously demanding 2007 shooter. By this second page the actual links are long gone from the archive, leaving mostly quick 'thx'/'ty' replies and a few one-liners from regulars checking in. It's a small snapshot of the forum's file-sharing culture rather than any drama or major event.
Nice test time.. Lol @ 4:20. Unhide. This game must be good.— sanjuro3456
Sims 2 MegaUpload Share Sparks 'Just Make One RAR' Gripe
The Red Light District's classic 'just make one RAR already' download drama, Sims 2 edition.
A thread in the Red Light District > Games subforum where user HaSh posted a MegaUpload-hosted all-in-one download of Sims 2 and its expansion packs, split into individual part files. Fellow member SpecForce immediately clashed with the poster over the messy file format, demanding a single RAR or ISO instead. A small, mundane but very true-to-era exchange typical of file-sharing threads on the site.
wtf? why the hell would you have individual part files??? omfg... make a single rar if not an ISO— SpecForce
