[TUT] How to get some pr0n passes
A Google-dorking trick for free porn logins turned into a 157-reply thank-you parade that ran for years.
Started by Guzziex in December 2010, this Tool Setups thread shared a basic Google-search method for finding member passwords to a couple of adult sites. The actual content was trivial and quickly forgotten, but the thread became a magnet for low-effort 'ty'/'thanks'/'+rep' replies from dozens of members chasing rep points, stretching across 7 pages. It's a good snapshot of an era where forums like this thrived on quick tips, rep-farming, and one-word bump culture.
MYGOD— Joonyurr
I Like Porn. :/— FXREQ
porn, yay!!— srbsoldier
Will CS Disappear in 20 Years?
2007 forum prophets debate whether anyone will still be bunnyhopping through de_dust in 2027.
A newer member (CSROCKS) opens a speculative thread in December 2007 asking whether Counter-Strike 1.6 will still have players two decades later, floating population estimates and suggesting someone chart historical player counts. Staff and regulars weigh in with a mix of shrugs and confident predictions, including a memorable comparison of CS's future to humanity's survival odds. One member flatly predicts nobody will be playing 1.6 or Source at all by then. A light, idle speculation thread typical of the site's Off-Topic/General Discussion section, notable now mostly for the irony of hindsight.
They will probally keep updating it releasing new versions every few years. But you can't really be sure its like saying will humanity still be around in twenty years.— miLLer
20 years you crazy ? lol NO body will still playing 1.6 and source— blackxthink
Learn To Count! (the classic spam-counting thread)
A years-long spam-counting thread limps to its final page with cat pictures and 'I has feets' jokes
This is the tail end of a classic forum time-waster: an off-topic 'count to X' style thread that ballooned to 9 pages of low-effort, high-nostalgia filler posts. By this final page, the counting premise has long since dissolved into inside jokes, lolcat-style images, and members riffing on a 'feets' meme. It's the epitome of 2007-era General Discussion filler — pure community glue rather than actual content.
lol i has feets tooo— olie22
WTF IS THAT? I HAS FEETS? AHAHAHAH— Whats that?...BA...
Powerful Pipe Bomb (Red Light District)
One of fkn0wned's Red Light District 'tutorials' — a homemade explosive thread that just made members go 'wtf'
A 2007 thread in the Tutorials sub-board of the Red Light District, where Supervisor member Janza posted a description of a homemade explosive device, claiming it left a sizable crater and split a cinderblock. Replies were mostly short reactions of disbelief, curiosity, and low-effort 'thanks' posts from a mix of longtime and brand-new members. Typical of the era's edgier forum sections that hosted content forums today would quickly remove, with little actual discussion beyond a handful of one-liners.
I have got to see this.— minitureman
WTF— Ronaldo322
Will The Pirate Bay Survive? (2009 Verdict Watch)
2009: the day fkn0wned collectively held its breath for The Pirate Bay's verdict.
A thread from General Discussion started the day before the real-world Pirate Bay trial verdict, with the OP asking members what they thought would happen to the torrent site. Replies are nostalgic and half-joking, with members reminiscing about TPB being their first torrent site and vowing loyalty ('t-shirt') even if it got shut down. It's a small time-capsule of the community reacting to actual internet-culture news of the era rather than forum-internal drama.
OMG, I hope it doesn't get shut down. If it does, I'll still wear my TPB t-shirt.— OmfgzATree
aww noo i love tpb.. it was the first torrent site i used.. I HAVE MEMORIES THERE— eskimo123321
Request a Rage Here: fkn0wned's Official Raid Request Thread
Fkn0wned's official 'order a raid' counter — 50 posts minimum, form required.
A stickied-style thread in the 'Other Raging' subforum where a member named Industry set up a formal system for requesting 'rages' (coordinated forum-raiding/trolling campaigns) against other games, forums, or individuals. Posters had to meet a 50-post minimum and follow a strict template listing the target, URL, and reason, with an example jokingly aimed at a fake 'homosexual forum.' It captures the site's raiding-culture era, where organized trolling was treated almost like a service you could formally request.
Post your requests for any type of rage you need done or want done. You must have 50 posts or more to post here— Industry
I dont like gay people, plus this would be hella sick and funny.— Industry
My Facebook Has Been Hacked (Or Has It?)
A member asks for help recovering his hacked Facebook — and gets pointed straight back to the site's own hacking tutorial.
b3balla03 posted in Tech Support asking how to get his hacked Facebook account back. Forum regular Abysmal Enigmatic pointed him to fkn0wned's own account-hacking tutorial thread, seemingly not registering the irony. The exchange devolves into b3balla03 getting confused about a step in the tutorial (whose email address to use), unintentionally revealing he was trying to follow the guide to hack an account rather than recover his own. A small, slightly funny snapshot of the site's blurred line between 'tech support' and 'the cheat/hacking scene' it was built around.
im sure you've seen this tutorials already but you should give it a try.— Abysmal Enigmatic
does it mean write the hackers email adress or MY email adress— b3balla03
Shutdown Your School Tutorial
The infamous Random Tuts post that (allegedly) taught kids how to nuke the school network
A thread in Gametration.com's Off-Topic > Random Tuts subforum, posted by user hunterbrute224 in September 2007, promising a way to disrupt school computers under the tagline 'Shutdown your school, Enjoy it.' The post opens with heavy disclaimers denying responsibility before getting into the actual content, a classic move for the era's grey-area tutorial threads. It's a small but vivid snapshot of the site's Off-Topic culture, where cheat-scene energy spilled over into general mischief tutorials aimed at bored teenage forum-goers.
Shutdown your school, Enjoy it.— hunterbrute224
BEFORE I BEGIN... I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES YOU CAUSE SO USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.— hunterbrute224
100 Full GaMeZ - Direct Download Linkz Megathread
One user, one marathon post: a full-on 2000s warez dump of a hundred cracked PC games in a single thread.
Posted in the Red Light District > Games section, this was a classic mid-2000s piracy megathread where a member calling themselves 'w4r3z Fr34k' compiled dozens of full PC game downloads with screenshots, GameSpot info links, and matching crack files, all hosted across mirrors like RapidShare and various free file hosts. The list spanned everything from Hitman and Tomb Raider to GTA San Andreas, Resident Evil 4, and obscure early-2000s titles like Reservoir Dogs and Busdriver 2007. It's a pure snapshot of the era's file-sharing culture — sprawling link lists, .rar splits, NFO credits, and the constant low hum of dead RapidShare links waiting to happen.
What was the last thing you put in your mouth? (Page 3)
19 pages of absolutely nothing — the forum's most sacred time-waster thread.
A classic filler thread in the General Discussion board where members just posted whatever random thing they'd last eaten, drank, or otherwise put in their mouth. Page 3 of what stretched into a 19-page marathon of low-effort, high-volume shitposting typical of the site's off-topic culture. No real drama here, just the kind of throwaway thread that padded post counts and kept the General section alive between cheat releases and gaming talk.
The Great Rapidshare Account Lend-Out
One guy needed a Rapidshare login to finish a 25-part download — and half the forum lined up to "lend" him one for rep
A member stuck downloading a game split across 25 Rapidshare parts asked if anyone could lend him a premium account to skip the hourly wait timers. True to Fkn0wned form, several members (including a 1000 Club regular and an Uploader-ranked user) jumped in offering accounts, mostly in exchange for reputation points, with a bit of jokey haggling over 'lend vs sell' along the way. It's a small, mundane thread but a perfect time capsule of file-sharing life in 2008 — Rapidshare wait timers, rep-for-favors currency, and forum ranks like [1K] 1000 Club and [Uploader] doing a lot of social heavy lifting.
he said lend him.. ok i will lend u.. and u MUST +rep me..— .1
if you pm me, I lend you one. all I want is a +rep— LoRd Ragealot
i got one.— ijusk03du
Should I stay blond or not?
38 votes, a poll, and half the forum weighing in on a girl's hair color like it was a CS map vote.
A General Discussion poll/thread where forum member Astrea posted photos asking whether to stay blond or go back to brunette. The community piled on with mixed opinions, some teasing about makeup and 'emo/goth' looks, others giving genuine takes, while a couple of regulars pointed out the absurdity of taking hair advice from a forum. Classic mid-2000s off-topic fluff thread, light and personal rather than gaming-related, with staff and 1K Club veterans mixing in alongside newer members.
brown is defiantly sexier..duh— noname232
Stay brown. It's cheaper.— bobbafett07
Do whatever you want yourself, I wouldn't ever make desisions on answers I get back from a forum.— sammo
Type ur Name using ur Feet! (page 2)
A whole page of Fkn0wned regulars butchering their own usernames barefoot, for science.
A goofy Off-Topic/General Discussion challenge thread where members tried to type their own forum names using only their feet (some closed their eyes, some wore socks, one used backspace and called it cheating). The results are exactly what you'd expect: garbled usernames, self-roasting, and members clowning each other's attempts. Staff like Supervisor mr.N0Nam3 and Co-Manager DCLXVI joined in alongside regular members, giving it that classic low-stakes, everyone's-in-on-the-joke forum vibe.
I DID IT 2nd try =/— mr.N0Nam3
i used backspace. wireless ftw without backspace— DanishJordan
LOL you didn't even hit the F HAHAHAAH— The Moose
Beware of ZWT Cracks/Keygens
One member's PSA: that ZWT keygen you downloaded might be spying on you
Member InzaneHacker posted a warning about cracks and keygens released by the group 'ZWT,' claiming to have caught one modifying Windows system files and behaving like spyware via Process Monitor screenshots. The thread turns into a casual back-and-forth with other members asking if his PC got compromised, a staffer (Sonikk) skeptically questioning whether the file behavior was just normal crack trickery, and InzaneHacker clarifying he'd tested it on a throwaway machine, warning that ZWT keygens reportedly carried keyloggers and urging anyone who'd used them to reformat. It's a small but characteristic slice of the era's warez/cheat-scene culture, where cracked software and casual security paranoia went hand in hand.
holy shit dude....hope ur PC didnt get rooted— olie22
Kind of all ZWT keygens has keyloggers... So if you used it - re-format your computer asap— InzaneHacker
So what kind of spyware is it? Are you sure it doesnt do that because its needed to trick whatever you are cracking?— Sonikk
Thread of Knowledge: Random Facts Derail into Pig Orgasms and Conspiracy Theories
A random-facts thread that spiraled into pig orgasms, Barbie's Nazi origins, and a Blizzard/Mayan apocalypse conspiracy.
Started by Olie22 as a simple 'share something you know' thread in General Discussion, this one ran for pages as members traded random trivia, dubious 'facts,' and urban legends. It devolved in classic forum fashion — a fact about pig orgasms derailed the thread for several posts before someone tried to steer it back on topic. A mix of regulars and staff (including a Co-Manager) chimed in, giving it that laid-back, time-killing off-topic energy typical of the board.
pigs have 30 minute long orgasms— dainbramaged
These orgasms literally blow their brains and or guts out. That is why male pigs and female pigs must be separated, lest a massive pig exploding fest occurs.— DCLXVI
world of warcraft is actually an epic plot to control the masses. in 2012, blizzard inc. will set free their minions to destroy the planet— Industry
I need to HAck my GrLs myspace account
A guy asks the whole forum to help him hack his girlfriend's MySpace over a cheating rumor — gets roasted instead.
In October 2006, member wstside818 posted in the Programming subforum asking for help getting into his girlfriend's MySpace password after hearing rumors she was cheating on him. Regulars mostly mocked the request as a lame excuse, with a couple offering half-hearted technical dismissals (bruteforcing 'won't get you anywhere') and one member sarcastically offering to help via PM. The thread was quickly locked, a classic snapshot of early-2010s (era: mid-2000s) forum culture where personal-drama hack requests were common bait for ridicule.
i need to hack her account to see who shes talkin to cuz some dukes said that shes cheatin on me— wstside818
its a fucking dumb excuse "i needa hack my girls acc"— fum1n
ill help you pm me,— ABACABB
2 FREE Steam Games. (BlacKOut's hidden-content giveaway)
A guy with an ATI card, a wall of hidden content, and 26 pages of 'unhide' — classic Fkn0wned.
BlacKOut posted a thread offering '2 FREE Steam Games' via hidden content that only unlocked once ATI card owners replied, a common bait-and-reply gimmick on the forum. The thread ballooned to 26 pages, mostly filled with one-word replies like 'unhide', 'thanks', and 'k?' as members tried to unlock the content, with a bit of ATI-vs-Nvidia banter thrown in. One member noted the offer might already be old news, capturing the low-effort, gimmicky nature of these giveaway threads on Rebel Gaming.
First off, if you don't have an ATI video card then GTFO.— BlacKOut
Isn't this old?— MONST3R
nvidia ftw— azerone
Beer Can Mortar: The Unhide-Please Ritual
A hidden 2007 'tutorial' post that got 20 pages of people just begging to see it
A thread in the Tutorials sub-forum of the Red Light District, started by supervisor Janza in October 2007, sharing a (not his own) writeup on making a 'beer can mortar' behind a spoiler/hide tag. The rest of the thread is the classic forum ritual of dozens of members posting one-liners just to unlock the hidden content, ranging from polite requests to jokes about not wanting to order chemicals. It's a good snapshot of the low-effort 'unhide please' culture that filled hidden-content threads on the site.
hope i dont have to order chemicals...— Bonkers
beer+mortar=fun!!— necroviz
Once apon a time well before I was connected to the net........ NOTE: Not mine, I'm not married— Janza
How to Enlarge Your Penis (No Pills) — The Troll Tutorial
A 'tutorial' with hidden content that was really just bait — and the whole forum piled on to roast it.
SubZero posted a joke tutorial in the Tutorials board, gating the 'content' behind a reply-to-unlock mechanism common on the forum. Dozens of members replied just to see the payoff, mostly reacting with mockery, disbelief, and one-liners once they realized (or suspected) it was a troll/joke post. It's a classic low-effort forum prank thread, remembered more for the community's reactions than any actual content.
Stupidest Tutorial Ever. I've seen some pretty fucked up tutorials.— Fluffman
put yo nuts on the table lets play the game.— Exerta
lolz this tut is 1337— SubZero
The Dragon Ball Z Cam Chat Prank
A member trolls a cam-site chat bot as a Dragon Ball super saiyan and the forum loses it
MillerLite and Dismal posted screencapped chat logs from a realitykings.com cam/porn account, where a member (chatting as 'cazoyj91') strung along cam performers with absurd Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon references instead of anything sexual. The thread is mostly the forum reacting with laughter, with Afteryou (who had apparently shared the account access) chiming in and offering to find more sites with private shows. It's a lighthearted, juvenile 'look what dumb thing we did' post typical of the era, generating a string of one-line 'lol' and 'wtf' replies rather than any real drama.
HIS LEVEL WAS OVER 9000!? WHAT 9000!?— cazoyj91 (in-thread chat log)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA i cant stop laughin at this xD— Master Dude
anybody joining me in saying wtf?— irishash
The Chris Hansen Bait Thread
A troll thread title baited half the forum into a To Catch a Predator gag — and everyone who clicked got roasted for it.
A classic clickbait troll thread on fkn0wned's General Discussion board: the title alone lured members in, only for the OP to reveal a Chris Hansen ('To Catch a Predator') image as the punchline. Members played along, quoting the show's famous 'why don't you have a seat over there' line at everyone who admitted clicking, turning the thread into a chain of self-aware ribbing. It's pure forum bit humor with no real content, eventually locked by staff as a joke thread run its course.
I knew you we're going to look!!— m1sterfopje
Why don't you have a seat over there....— ap3x
I opened this thread fully aware of the trap. I win :)— f0wh
LSD Trip Reports and Drug Rankings Thread
conTagious kicks off a very stoned trip report and half the forum shows up with their own drug rankings
A December 2009 General Discussion thread where longtime member conTagious shares a months-old LSD trip story, sparking a casual back-and-forth about weed, GHB, speed, and ecstasy among regulars. The tone is light and joking rather than serious, with members swapping personal anecdotes, warnings about GHB's dangers, and general off-topic banter typical of the forum's non-gaming side. It's a good snapshot of the loose, anything-goes culture of the General Discussion board outside of the site's usual cheat/gaming focus.
LSD > COKE > XTC > GHB— conTagious
last time i took lsd. i made out with the girl whos house we were at, and fixed her laptop in the process. and she paid me 20 for doing it :D— lulraep
My friend took lsd once and played cs the motherfucker thought he was actually in the map afterwards xD— NIX
Most Useless Thing in the World!
A random 2010 shitpost thread that somehow became a legendary 'FUCKING AMERICANS' meme moment
A quick, low-effort thread where fkngames posted an image (long since dead link) mocking some pointless novelty product, sparking a cascade of one-liners mocking Americans and consumer culture. Regulars like PopTart, NIX, and Kimmi piled on with laughs, and one poster admitted they thought the thread would be about an unrelated 'fake ass hug' meme circulating at the time, revealing overlapping in-jokes across the board. It's a snapshot of the forum's casual, jokey day-to-day chatter rather than any major drama — just old members riffing off each other.
FUCKING AMERICANS— boselect
LOL, they shuda gone on dragon's den— aimshot120
Americans are fucked up in the head :3— Kimmi
Rebelz's 150+ Rapidshare Premium Account Giveaway Thread
One user dumped 150+ Rapidshare premium logins on the forum — and people STILL managed to break them within pages.
A long-running General Discussion thread on Fkn0wned.Com where member Rebelz repeatedly gave away large batches of Rapidshare premium accounts to the community, framing it as a contribution to the forum rather than something worth selling. The thread is mostly a stream of thanks, requests, and reports that some accounts had already stopped working because other members changed the passwords, with Rebelz periodically scolding 'leaching noobs' and asking for PayPal donations in exchange for posting more accounts or private access. It ran across at least 8 pages, showing steady engagement typical of the site's cheat/warez-sharing culture.
I don't care... I really have no use for all of these and selling them would just take too much time and I like to contribute to the fkn community.— Rebelz
Lot's have been changed already due to you leaching noobs.— Rebelz
some of this still works.. i have shared them with ppl on other sides.. dont worry they wont change the pws.. i will guarantee— haha.1
The Next Time I See Kathleen...
deX- posts a curb-stomp video as a threat over some girl named Kathleen — chaos and dark jokes ensue
A short, absurd General Discussion thread from May 2010 where member deX- links a violent movie clip (the 'curb-stomp' scene) as a dramatic stand-in for his feelings about a girl named Kathleen. What follows is classic fkn0wned banter — mods and regulars ribbing him, mock-serious warnings about assault charges, and a running gag from lulraep about a girl who 'left the kitchen.' It's less a real conflict than a bunch of regulars riffing on dark humor for laughs, with staff like Kimmi and NIX jumping in to troll deX- rather than take it seriously.
IN THE FACE YOU SLUT.— deX-
sir i believe that's assault and you could be arrested fined and jailed for that good sir— ap3x
she left the kitchen.— lulraep
The 'Now Playing' Thread
Seven pages of 2007 forum kids sharing whatever was stuck in their headphones — from Thrice to Lupe Fiasco to Wu-Tang.
A long-running Off-Topic staple where members just posted whatever song they were listening to at the moment, no real debate or drama, just a casual running log of mid/late-2000s music taste. Genres bounce all over the place — screamo/post-hardcore (Thrice), gangsta rap (Dr. Dre, Bone Thugs), pop-punk (Paramore), and fresh releases like Lupe Fiasco's 'The Cool' getting hyped the day it dropped. It's a low-stakes, feel-good community thread that mostly shows off the personalities and profile flair (custom titles, group ranks) of regular posters.
Lupe Fiasco's The Cool (came out today its fucking awesome) i love Superstar— dainbramaged
Paramore - Misery Business <33— Exodus
wu tang clan - rushing elephants— LoRd Ragealot
What a Fucking Night
Stoned, chased through a park by an RCMP trainee-turned-real-cop squad, and one guy still went back for his bong.
A staff member named HaSh recounts a chaotic night where he and a group of friends were chased through a park by police after kicking over an election sign near an RCMP trainee. He gives a detailed blow-by-blow (complete with a hand-drawn diagram) of the group scattering, most getting caught and crammed into a cop car, and two escaping. The thread quickly derails into a side argument between two regulars, ballistic and minitureman, bickering over grammar and age after a joking reply about the weed not being found. Fairly typical off-topic storytime thread with some low-stakes forum sniping tacked on.
Blue= Me Red=Cops Green= Everyone else— HaSh
the cops were like the ones from superbad, they were so fucking dumb lol.— HaSh
even if i go 'in depth' at least i can form a proper sentence.— ballistic
Psilocybe :P
A guy named ADDlCTlON posts a photo of magic mushrooms he grew, and the Photography subforum turns into a shroom appreciation thread
Posted in the Art & Design > Photography subforum, ADDlCTlON shares photos of psilocybe mushrooms he grew himself, framed loosely as a photography post. The thread quickly drifts away from any artistic critique into members swapping stories about tripping on shrooms, casual drug-use banter, and a bit of harm-reduction advice tossed around. It ends with a member offering to sell spore prints via private message. A snapshot of the freewheeling, no-moderation vibe typical of that era's gaming forums, where a 'photography' thread could casually become a drug culture hangout.
magic mushrooms its a decent pic i took awhile back— ADDlCTlON
Photo isnt artistic but it sure is fun :D— hEndr!x
ill sell you a spore print from this strain. ;) pm me broskie— ADDlCTlON
NO TESTICLES: the 8-page meme thread
An 8-page thread about a dog with no balls somehow never dies.
A long-running Links/Humor thread on Fkn0wned.Com, apparently sparked by some kind of image or link involving a testicle-less dog, ground on for eight pages of one-liners and reaction posts. By the tail end members are mostly just confused newcomers reacting to a joke they never saw the original context for, asking to have it 'unhidden' or just going 'wtf is this.' It's a good snapshot of the low-effort, meme-chain humor threads that padded out the Off-Topic section back then.
yes i can imagine me dog has no nuts so it likes is empty sack all day =/— Edgo
Unhide, I wanna see this shit xD— Zunder
wow, that would suck i guess. I wouldnt know... (im female)— VulcanRaven
"dude playing mario so funny!" — the Google Video LOL thread
A 30-minute Mario rage video had half the Links/Humor board cackling for a week straight.
In November 2007, member jacal dropped a link (via Google Video, since pulled/dead) to a lengthy clip of a guy losing his mind playing Super Mario, and the Links/Humor section piled on with pure enthusiasm. It's a classic low-stakes forum humor thread: dozens of members chiming in with 'LOL', quoting the funniest rage lines, admitting they'd seen it before but watched again anyway, and eventually identifying the clip as the well-known 'Super Mario Frustration' video running on a NES emulator. No drama here, just a nostalgic snapshot of forum culture — quick reps, inside jokes about 'the big fire stick,' and jacal basking in getting 'love from ppl.'
Woh that a big fire stick !!!!!— 3dstz
YAY im getting love from ppl i feel so much better...— jacal
THATS A BIG FIRESTICK!! LMAO SO FUNNY— Shifty.
Mega-Thread: All Tony Hawk Games
The classic 'here's the entire Tony Hawk franchise, no waiting' thread that everybody said thanks in
A Games sub-forum mega-thread in the Red Light District section where user Guru compiled a batch of Tony Hawk skateboarding games with box art screenshots, hosted for direct download with 'no waiting times' (a dig at slow file-host services common at the time). The thread ran for two pages and became a low-effort but beloved reply-farm, with dozens of members simply dropping 'thanks', 'unhide', or excited one-liners over several months in late 2007. It's a snapshot of the era's warez-sharing culture — nostalgia game bundles, Xfire tags in every signature, and a community happy to bump a thread just to say cheers.
All the tonyhawk games? Awsome!^^ *All of them downloaded*— InzaneHacker
I never played tony hawk's pro skater 2 before ill try it— blackxthink

WinRAR 3.71 Cracked [Latest]
A cracked archive-manager download that kept old members saying "ty" for years
A simple software-sharing post in the Red Light District > Software subforum, offering a cracked copy of WinRAR 3.71. The thread itself is barely more than the standard program blurb, but it racked up over a decade's worth of one-line bumps from members just saying thanks, requesting a re-up, or reporting a dead link. It's a good time-capsule example of the low-effort warez-sharing culture that filled Fkn0wned's Red Light District section.

Knife fight? - the eternal BF2 knifing rant
One man's sacred honor code: if I pull a knife on you, you fight me with a knife.
A 2008 Rants and Raves thread where user sanjuro3456 vents about Battlefield 2 players who refuse to 'honor' a knife duel and instead shoot him with a pistol or UAV-spot him mid-charge. The rant escalates into a colorful list of insults for anyone who dares defend themselves with a gun instead of a blade. A couple of replies chime in sympathetically, including a tangent about machete-killing a sniper convoy in Battlefield Vietnam.
Nobody in BF2 knifes in NON-PnK servers.— sanjuro3456
I fucking go wild. I scream out loud and i type it too.— sanjuro3456
Yeah, I also hate when some idiot doesn't agree to a knife fight. :\— fishyfish777
"autistic children who write retarded posts."
A 2007 rant about vaporware hack-leak hype spirals into a two-page pile-on about a 9-year-old member breaking the age rules.
mr.N0Nam3 kicks off a rant thread in Rants and Raves venting about members who endlessly hype private hack leaks that never materialize, plus a minor gripe about someone impersonating his name on IRC. The thread quickly drifts off-topic into a loosely related back-and-forth about autism jokes, a running joke about a mod named Arcade, and a side controversy over a member ('the little kid') suspected of being only 9 years old and thus below the forum's registration age. Staff and regulars like Shifty. and SubZero weigh in, with some defending the kid and others piling on, giving a good snapshot of the forum's crude, self-moderating 'off-topic chaos' culture.
im sick of the whole " guys !!! in 1 week, im gonna leak a private hack!!!!!!"— mr.N0Nam3
Rofl stop ganging up on the little kid. His only 9...— SubZero
God damn it, it's just IRC. Who gives a shit— SubZero
fake metal bands, i hate them so much..
A rant about nu-metal 'posers' spirals into a three-page genre war, complete with a wildly offensive poll and a member getting called out as "an ignorant fucking bitch."
Retired staffer Jaska kicked off a rant declaring bands like Linkin Park, Drowning Pool, and Slipknot "fake metal" and celebrating a singer's death, attaching a crude poll pitting 'real' metal (Opeth, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse) against everything else. The thread quickly devolved into a sprawling, three-page argument covering metal subgenres, vocal technique debates, rap vs. metal, and general off-topic sniping, dragging in a long cast of regulars. It's a snapshot of classic mid-2000s forum culture: a niche music-taste rant escalating into a slur-laden free-for-all typical of the Rants and Raves board, with the usual mix of genuine music nerdery and edgy-for-shock-value insults.
fuck fake ass metal bands like linkin park, drowning pool, and slipknot.— Jaska
dont reply to this thread with something stupid like "yeah. fuck fake metal. i listen to mudvayne," cause your an idiot.— Jaska
Still life your an ignorant fucking bitch.— Queer
CANADA SUCKS: A 2007 Spelling War, Emo Debate, and Mystery Ban
A misspelled rant about Canada spirals into a spelling war, an emo debate, and a mystery ban
A member named nerfmagez kicked off this Rants and Raves thread with a garbled complaint about 'canda' (Canada) after seeing a YouTube clip of a woman claiming to be Canadian, calling her a disgrace. The thread instantly derailed into people mocking his spelling, a tangent about whether the forum needed an age minimum, a side-argument about what 'emo' even means, and confusion over why user Dominator got banned mid-thread. It's a classic low-stakes 2007 off-topic flame-that's-not-really-a-flame, dragging on sporadically for months with stragglers replying as late as November.
CANADA sucks? You ask why!? Beacuse this lady said... "Im from canda" And she's the biggest disgrace!— nerfmagez
you spelled flame wrong as well.— SubZero
Canada > you > all > emos— X73rN4L
Fluffman's DVD Rip Mega Thread!
One guy's crusade against shitty cam-rips turned into a running library of 2007 blockbuster DVD rips.
In the Red Light District's Movies subforum, longtime member Fluffman started a running 'mega thread' in August 2007 promising properly-ripped DVD-quality movie downloads instead of the usual cam-rip garbage flooding the board. He posted a steady stream of then-new releases (Live Free or Die Hard, Ocean's Thirteen, Next, Shooter, 300) each with cover art, screenshots, and plot summaries, and took requests via PM. The thread was warmly received, racking up pages of short 'thanks'/'nice job' replies from regulars, cementing Fluffman's reputation as the forum's go-to movie guy.
Loads of DVD RIPS!— Fluffman
Nice one fluffers— sammo

snuffz's Giant Music List (Requests Thread)
One user, one "giant" music stash, and pages of members begging "unhide plz" for months on end.
A long-running Red Light District thread where member snuffz offered to upload/share music from a personal collection and invited requests. The thread quickly devolved into the classic forum-request ritual: dozens of members posting one-liners like "unhide", "ty", and "nice" just to see the hidden content, interspersed with actual song/album requests (The Devil Wears Prada, Underoath, Escape the Fate, DragonForce, As Blood Runs Black, M.I.A., and more). It ran from November 2007 into early 2008, stretching across multiple pages, with snuffz periodically checking back in to apologize for delays and promise uploads. It's a pretty pure snapshot of mid-2000s forum culture — low-effort bump culture, Xfire handles in every signature, and a small-time uploader briefly becoming everyone's favorite guy.
If you dont see anything you want ask i can probably get it for you.— snuffz
its just a list, whats the point...— Someone510
btw its not really that giant of a music list, ive...— usafa
Rune Escape! - the RuneScape hack request that couldn't spell RuneScape
A noob begged for 'Rune Escape' hax in the CS:S forum, and nobody let him live it down.
A member named sniperlock901 posted in the Counter-Strike: Source General board pleading for someone to make hacks or a 'stat changer' for RuneScape, misspelling it as 'Rune Escape' throughout. A couple of regulars pointed him toward the well-known sythe.org and runescape101.com hack communities instead of offering anything themselves, and the thread wrapped up with bobbafett07 dropping in just to correct the game's actual name. A tiny, low-stakes thread, but a perfect little snapshot of off-topic game-hack begging that used to clutter CS:S sub-boards.
Can some one plz make hax for Rune Escape for me if you do make some just pm pr something it will realy help me out in this online game— sniperlock901
there are hacks and autoers for this shitty game check sythe.org— poon
And for the record, it's Runescape. Not Rune Escape.— bobbafett07
Female Orgasm Black Book (Rapidshare thread)
A random e-book share in the 'Red Light District' turned into a chorus of teenage boys 'testing' it out — with one guy claiming he tried it on his mum.
A post by asshoel50 in the Red Light District's 'Electronic & Audio books' subforum shared a copy of a self-help ebook about female orgasms, hosted via Rapidshare. The thread stayed alive for weeks mostly through low-effort 'thanks/unhide' bumps typical of file-share threads, plus a handful of joke replies from members riffing on the topic. It's a good snapshot of the forum's off-topic, juvenile-humor culture living alongside its main cheat/gaming database.
IM TRYING THIS ON MY MUM!! EDIT: SHE HAD THE BEST ORGIE EVER!!— Nathan2005
huh lets see if i can test these out XD— godofwhore
Just what i needed— kaZad
"Valve Is Fucking Retarded" - Steam Account Rant
A guy got his Steam account jacked twice and decided Valve deserved a full-caps eulogy of hatred for it
A member named abstract1337 vents about having his Steam account stolen twice, blaming Valve's login system and accusing the company of profiting off account theft by forcing people to rebuy games. The rant gets mostly mocked rather than sympathized with — staff member miLLer admits to not even finishing reading it, and other members needle him with joke password suggestions instead of taking the complaint seriously. The mod note on the board itself shows this was a running joke topic, with a prior closure message ridiculing the community's habit of making near-identical anti-Valve threads.
Yet another pointless rant about valve, I only read the first paragraph....— miLLer
use a stronger password then. here is a suggestion: valveisfuckingretarded— laptops
stop making threads about valve, you know you love their pen0r and want it right up your asshole— mr.N0Nam3
Gay porn - yes or no
One member wanted the forum's porn section split by orientation; the replies did not go the way he hoped
User aabee suggested Fkn0wned create a separate section for gay porn (or ban it outright) since it seemed to dominate the site's porn subforum. The suggestion was met with near-universal pushback and mockery from other members, who questioned why it mattered and teased aabee for the complaint. The thread is a small snapshot of the forum's Comments and Suggestions board culture: low-stakes, joking, and quick to dogpile on anything resembling a moral complaint.
What do you have against gay porn?— trs
Admit it, you were mid-wank and clicked on a gay porn thread without realising, amirite.— Baz
just be glad no one is posting hentai, mlp, or other fucked up porn— xcat
Want To Rage? Click Here.
Free Steam accounts and screenshots of other people melting down — the Raging subforum's greatest hits thread.
A thread in the Raging subforum where user PhraseS posted repeated batches of hidden content (framed as email/password dumps for accounts, some apparently Steam-related) that unlocked only when members replied, in exchange for 'rage' or 'flame' screenshots as proof of results. Regulars like shwager, Ascus, and others played along, posting reply-to-unlock spam ('unhide', '123', 'wew') and a few actual result screenshots. It's a good snapshot of the forum's give-away/rage culture: low-effort bump threads chasing free accounts, mixed with in-jokes and total ambivalence from newer members.
Unhide, for email and passwords. Remember, you must post results.— PhraseS
last one has bday security— Ascus
what is this i don even— DoofyHurr
[POTW] #1 - Should the USA Pull Out of Iraq?
The very first Poll of the Week turned Fkn0wned's Debating subforum into a mini Iraq War roundtable.
This thread launched a new recurring feature on Fkn0wned.com called 'Poll of the Week' (POTW), kicked off by supervisor DCLXVI in the Off-Topic > Debating section. The inaugural question asked whether the USA should pull out of Iraq, with strict rules requiring 'serious discussions only' and meaningful replies rather than one-liners. The vote closed with 20 votes (71.43%) for 'Yes' and 8 votes (28.57%) for 'No,' out of 28 total votes, and DCLXVI later closed the thread once the poll week ended.
Should the United States of America pull out of Iraq?— DCLXVI
Serious discussions only, violations lead to an immediate warning— DCLXVI
Nirvana - Nevermind (1991) album share
Between CS 1.6 cheat requests and porn passwords, someone just wanted to talk about Nevermind.
A brief, low-traffic post in the Music subforum of the Red Light District sharing Nirvana's 1991 album Nevermind, complete with tracklist and a Guy Picciotto quote about the record's outsized cultural impact. It got exactly one reply, a short 'R.I.P. Kurt Cobain' message, before fading into the archive. A quiet, sincere moment on a forum otherwise built around game cheats, trading, and adult content.
Yeah I love Nirvana, R.I.P Kurt Cobain— Jerry_Seinfeld
It was like our record could have been a hobo pissing in the forest for the amount of impact it had.— Guy Picciotto (quoted in OP)
Whoever has the iPhone/iTouch - jailbreak chatter
Back when 'jailbreaking' your iPhone meant NES games and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, not app stores.
A short 2007 thread in General Discussion where a member (posting under a since-banned account) shares links for jailbreaking the original iPhone/iTouch, describing it as safer than modding a PSP since a bad flash could just be undone via iTunes restore. Another member chimes in excitedly, listing off all the emulators, apps, and games they got running on their jailbroken device. Thread is marked as 'Graved' (closed) by moderator Janza, a common fate for old threads on this board.
It is so awesome! Although I do not own either, I experienced the hacked iphone today at my cousin's house.— Renegade.MB
i allready got it haha i love it i got mike tyson punch out for NES and super mario and Apollo, Colloquy, Lights off, zune 2, tetromino, TAP TAP REVOLUTION!!!!!! WOOT— euphoria
How To Find The Numbers Of A Combination Lock
A random lockpicking trick shared in the depths of Off-Topic — because Gametration wasn't just about game cheats.
A thread in the 'Random Tuts' subforum of Gametration's Off-Topic section, where user minitureman posted a tutorial about figuring out combination lock numbers. It's a good example of the site's culture spilling beyond just cheat-scene content into odd, practical life-hack tutorials shared among members. The thread ran at least 9 pages, suggesting decent engagement, though the visible excerpt only shows the opening replies.
now i have your soul— minitureman
Unhide.— 13375355
Why the FUCK is it that nobody ever does anything except rant in this forum?
A guy storms into the Rants forum just to rant about people ranting in the Rants forum.
A member called Snaily0 posted an ironic, self-defeating rant in the aptly named Rants and Raves subforum, demanding that people stop ranting there while doing exactly that. The post reads as either a troll or a genuinely confused newbie, and it perfectly captures the low-stakes chaos of Fkn0wned's off-topic scene. Snaily0's account is listed as Banned, suggesting this thread (or the poster) didn't age well with staff.
Why do you all feel you can all come in here, and flame and rant?— Snaily0
DON'T RANT IN THIS FORUM Got it?— Snaily0
[RS] 160 All-In-One's (AIO) Part 1 — the giant Rapidshare mega-dump
A Smod calling herself 'Kimmi King of Random' unloads 160 all-in-one download packs in one legendary Warez post.
A post in the Public Warez board by longtime forum figure 'Kimmi King of Random' (rank: [FkN] Smod) shares a massive collection of Rapidshare-hosted archive files billed as the 'Biggest AIO Collection World-Wide,' covering everything from keygens and patch makers to emulators and utility toolkits. It sits alongside a site-wide banner announcing an active giveaway section handing out Steam accounts and Rapidshare loot to keep members online and engaged. The thread is pure early-2010s warez-forum culture — link dumps, tinypic thumbnails, and a community built around free stuff and staying active for it.
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!!

Post Your Setup
Old-school PC flexing: monitors, towers, and cable-managed pride from 2008.
A long-running General Discussion thread (into its 4th page by early 2008) where members posted photos and descriptions of their computer setups — rigs, monitors, desks. It drew the usual mix of admiration and light ribbing, typical of forum 'show off your gear' threads from the era. Both posters quoted here, Don Ruski and Shifty, were high-post-count veterans, though both accounts were later marked Banned.
Pfft show-off— Don Ruski
