Really? (the "can a CPU explode" link thread)
A sketchy link, a Die Hard 4 debate, and someone insisting hard drives are packed with C4.
A short-lived Off-Topic joke thread where Pr0wL3r454 dropped a mystery link captioned 'Scary?', prompting the usual cautious 'I will not click that' reactions before people clicked anyway. It spun off into a goofy back-and-forth about whether Die Hard 4's premise of remotely exploding computers was realistic, with regulars weighing in on CPUs, C4, and hacker logic. It ends the way a lot of these threads did: someone calls it an old repost, and a brand new member derails things by asking, unrelated, whether anyone actually has hacks.
I will not click that, like really.. I will not.— The Moose
Didnt you know they put C4 in harddrives these days? Damn..— ZarbonPRO
really do yuo have hacks— donkeykonger45
How Many Five Year Olds Could You Take in a Fight?
The forum's most important scientific debate: kids vs. you, how many, and does judo even help?
A goofy Off-Topic thread built around a viral 'how many five year olds could you take in a fight' quiz/site, with members posting their scores and bragging rights. It drifts into a surprisingly earnest tangent about martial arts effectiveness in close-quarters combat, complete with a Bruce Lee anecdote and a judo defense. Classic low-stakes forum humor thread padded out over multiple pages by regulars killing time.
it said i could take 32, but its probably because - I have been trampled in a mosh before - I dont mind beating little kids, including my siblings— Industry
Yes but judo would pwn, I used to take judo, best thing out there!— AKULA
I lol'd at this site.— Broodje Kaas
Failed Phishing Attempt (Steam Scam LOL Thread)
A wannabe Steam scammer named 'John Lennon' bombs so hard the whole thread just roasts him
A member named hunterbrute224 posted a chat log where someone impersonating a 'Steam worker' (oddly self-identified as 'John Lennon,' later 'Douglas Newbury') tried to phish their account password and got laughed off instead. The thread turned into a lighthearted swap-meet of members sharing their own encounters with the same kind of low-effort Steam phishing attempts, mostly mocking the scammers' typos and clumsy social-engineering lines. A minor semantic argument broke out over whether this even counted as real 'phishing,' with one member pointing to an actual phishing thread elsewhere on the forum for comparison.
gg attempt for Phishing but its a fail— [AOD]eth
Listen eth listen if you don't think i'm telling the truth you can shove it up your ass!— John Lennon (scammer)
You know what makes it better, is how at the top of chat window it says. NEVER GIVE YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE— hunterbrute224
Terrorists Stole My Paper! — Off-Topic Humor Thread
A funny video link buried under 15+ posts of people just demanding someone 'unhide' it
A long-running Off-Topic humor thread sharing a video titled 'Terrorists Stole My Paper!' that spiraled into the classic forum ritual of members spamming 'unhide' to reveal hidden content, plus a side-argument over whether the hide tag should be reserved for hacks/passwords rather than jokes. By page 3 the thread is mostly one-line bumps ('lol', 'asdf LOLololol', 'yays') with a couple of members posting related YouTube links and a supervisor (Janza) dropping in with a casual comment about the video's audio.
hide is made for pass's hacks software and stuff not humor shit— jacal
Haha guy sounds asian at some parts.— Janza
If its funny its sexy— Bloodyb
Who's Gonna Win? FPS Doug vs. Angry German Kid
A 2008 poll pits two of YouTube's earliest viral legends against each other — and Fkn0wned had opinions.
A lighthearted Links/Humor thread from January 2008 built around a poll asking members to pick a winner between two early viral video icons: FPS Doug (a Counter-Strike: Source machinima character) and the Angry German Kid. Members shared YouTube links, argued over whether the famous 'rage' footage was staged, and mostly sided with FPS Doug (69% of the vote). It's a small, harmless slice of old-internet meme culture debated by regulars of the forum's off-topic scene.
he's so fuckin' pissed! he's yelling and shit while doug pwn's him.— lragnarok11
the video where the kid is fkn pissed is fake i think— Tundergun
it was weird to see a german kid go mental just over a game— kippa
Kid Gets Murdered Over MMORPG Debt (Graphic Content Thread)
A shared link about a real-life murder over MMO gold turns into three pages of gallows humor and 'wtf fake' denial.
A Links/Humor thread from late 2007 shared a graphic news story about a kid allegedly murdered over unpaid MMORPG debt. Replies swing between shock, dark jokes, disbelief that it's real, and random tangents about Tibia and RuneScape. One member even suggests the story is so absurd it deserves its own over-the-top forum category rather than Links/Humor. Classic mid-2000s forum tone: morbid curiosity dressed up as banter.
This link doesnt belong in the Links/Humor section, It belongs in the OMFGWTFBBQHOLYMOTHERFUCKINGSHITPSYCHONERD section.— Whats that?...BANG!!
i LOL'd...then i felt really bad— SDJH2982
wtf fake— MicroUltra
The Steam Account Phisher Who Got Owned
A 2007 account-stealing scammer picks a fight with the wrong Steam user and gets dragged through his own script.
Member Keke10000 posted a chat log from December 2007 showing a phishing attempt where a scammer, posing as 'Automated Help' then 'rob' then supposedly a 'director of operations' named Nathan, repeatedly demanded a Steam account's login details under threat of a fake ban. The user on the other end, z1zzLe#fuzioN., strung the scammer along, mocked his shifting identities, grammar, and copy-pasted script, and never handed over anything before declaring victory. Replies in the thread are short and gleeful, treating it as a classic 'fail' post — the community's bread-and-butter genre of screenshotting scammers/noobs getting clowned.
Sir, Calm down, I am not retarted, I am highly educated— Automated Help
Hopefully you stop failing at trying to steal accounts buddy =]. Its really fun wasting dumbasses times like yours <3.— z1zzLe#fuzioN.

Graffiti Thread - sabre025's Artwork
A CS cheat forum's resident tagger shows off 11 weeks (or maybe years) of graffiti work down under
Member sabre025 posted a batch of photos showcasing his own graffiti art, done in Australia, sparking a mostly positive reaction from the Off-Topic crowd. Some suspected he'd downplayed how long he'd actually been practicing, while others admired the skill and noted it was refreshing to see forum members with hobbies outside the computer. A GFX staffer and a couple of veteran '1000 Club' members chimed in with praise before the thread petered out with an off-topic question about tying it back to Fkn0wned itself.
soz i aint posting any ilegal stuff , cops run the internet..— sabre025
u are the graffiti master of fkn0wned lol— Industry
kickass.. nice to see some people on fkn have lives off the comp lol— dainbramaged
WoW: The Burning Crusade RapidShare download thread
22 RapidShare parts, a decade of 'unhide plz', and one guy screaming you needed a CD key anyway
A 2007 post in Gametration's Red Light District > Games subforum offering a full copy of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade split across RapidShare and Megaupload mirrors. The thread ran for nearly a year, filling up with hundreds of low-effort 'thanks', 'unhide', and 'ty' replies typical of warez-board bumping, plus a few dead-link reports, mirror complaints, and one poster pointing out the obvious problem of needing a legit key to actually play. It's a classic snapshot of the mid-2000s piracy forum grind, where hoarding rare downloads and farming reply credit were the whole game.

Portal (2007) Download Thread
A hidden Portal download link that had regulars saying 'thanks' for months on end.
This was a warez-sharing thread in the Red Light District > Games section where a member posted a RapidShare link to the game Portal (2007), likely behind a hidden/spoiler tag as was standard practice on the forum. The bulk of the visible content is the classic 'unhide/thanks' ritual: members replying just to reveal the hidden link and post gratitude, keeping the thread bumped for months from November 2007 into February 2008. It's a low-drama, high-traffic utility thread typical of the era's cheat/warez forums, valued purely for the download rather than discussion.
Oh fuck, unhide please. Epic.— kool boogmenot
really old bump— Absurd
unhide— BlueBandit
Portal [NON STEAM] - RapidShare Warez Thread
Someone cracked Valve's brand-new puzzle game onto RapidShare in pieces before most people even had Steam accounts to buy it legit.
Posted just days after Portal's official 2007 release, this thread in the Red Light District's Games subforum offered a non-Steam, RapidShare-hosted copy of the game split into multiple parts. It ran for over a month, racking up dozens of low-effort 'thx'/'unhide' replies typical of warez threads, plus a request for a missing part 7 and some good-natured ribbing about people not having $50 to buy the real thing. Uploader NutterNZ, a well-known Retired Supervisor with 1000+ posts, was thanked repeatedly and treated as the thread's MVP.
Lol at the people without $50— chooken
Nutterz is teh m4n— Jack Bauer
my friend said he almost puked playing this game— abstract1337
Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended + Keygen Upload Thread
A rar-splitting, keygen-bundling Photoshop CS3 giveaway that ran for pages of one-word 'thanks'
In the Red Light District's Software subforum, member AveLoN (posting in October 2007, apparently to farm reputation as a newcomer) uploaded a multi-part RAR release of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended along with an activation keygen, password-locked to the site's own URL. The thread ran to at least three pages, with dozens of members dropping by through December 2007 just to post brief 'thanks'/'ty'/'unhide' replies to unlock or acknowledge the download. It's a classic snapshot of early forum warez culture — piracy uploads as reputation currency, and threads kept alive purely by drive-by gratitude posts.
leik noob? ... I'm going to post Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extend.— AveLoN
Everything is working 100% properly. ENJOY!— AveLoN
fkn sweet— The Haxxor man
Mega-Thread: Portable Apps
A 7-page relic where hundreds of members just showed up to say 'ty' for a mystery pile of portable apps.
This was a long-running 'mega-thread' in the Red Light District > Software subforum where original poster DCLXVI (later renamed MessiaH, a Co-Manager) dropped a bundle of portable applications for members to grab. The thread ballooned to 7 pages almost entirely through drive-by 'thanks/ty/unhide' replies from the community rather than discussion, a classic pattern for download-mega-threads on cheat/warez-adjacent forums of the era. Notably the page shows the site itself mid-transition, with headers flipping between 'Gametration.com' and 'Fkn0wned.Com,' capturing a rebrand/domain-change moment in the forum's history. The vibe is pure late-2000s forum culture: low-effort bumps, xfire handles in every signature, and a 1000-post 'club' badge system marking the old-timers.
Many portable applications!— DCLXVI / MessiaH
oh yeah im so wet— zubetube
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\VIRUS.EXE— mflames01
Product Keys Thread — The Classic 'Reply to Unhide' Ritual
A giant, years-long thread of forum members begging each other to 'unhide' a pile of software keys.
A 2007 thread in Gametration's 'Red Light District > Software' subforum, started by user elitenoob offering a batch of product keys for games and programs. The replies are almost entirely low-effort 'thx', 'unhide pls', and gratitude posts from members trying to access the hidden content, stretching across seven pages. It captures the classic old-forum ritual of hidden-content threads where you had to reply just to reveal the goods.
here they are (theres a bunch)— elitenoob
just want to say i love you!!!!! and ive been looking for this forever.— creamy_noodles
unhide thx— thesource
Pokemon Java Mobile Ports Sharing Thread
Old-school Pokemon games ported to Java phones — nostalgia bait that got 40+ replies of pure hype
A software-sharing thread in the Red Light District where someone posted Java mobile phone ports of the original Game Boy Pokemon titles (Red, Blue, Yellow, Green). This is page 3 of a multi-page thread, mostly filled with short reaction posts from members hyped to relive the classic games on their phones. No real drama, just a steady trickle of gratitude and excitement typical of a warez/download thread on this board.
gotta catch 'em all! pokemon!— smileyjade
ooooo hope these work on my phone— d(0_0)b
this is sweet— Prof_Oak
Free VoIP Calls Tutorial (and the 'unhide' ritual)
A 2007 'free VoIP calls' tutorial that mostly turned into 20 pages of people just saying 'unhide'
A classic Random Tuts thread from September 2007 where member WillowZ posted a tutorial claiming to let you make free internet voice calls without installing Skype, noting it only worked in Internet Explorer. The thread quickly devolved into the forum's signature 'hidden content' ritual, with dozens of members posting one-word 'unhide' replies just to reveal whatever was tucked behind spoiler tags, plus some ribbing about WillowZ double-posting the topic. Staff member hunterbrute224 dropped in with an 'Unhidden Content' image, and a long tail of low-post-count members (Noobs, Trained Noobs) cycled through with thanks and short reactions.
btw you double topiced— minitureman
i hope its for real >_>— slingblade
unhide.im actually interested at this— jorskobe
How to Roll a Cigarette
A random tutorial thread that outlived its usefulness and just became a hangout spot for a year straight.
A member named sammo posted a casual off-topic guide on rolling a cigarette back in October 2007, tucked away in the 'Random Tuts' subforum. The thread quickly devolved into the usual forum ritual of first-post claiming, jokes about the title being wrong ('tabacco' not tobacco), and a long trickle of members just dropping in months later to say thanks or crack a one-liner. It stuck around for over a month of real time, picking up replies as late as mid-November, showing how low-stakes threads like this became long-running community fixtures rather than one-off posts.
I WAS FUCKING FRIST !! TAKE THAT !! LOOL !!— andr3zit0
title should say "how to roll tabacco"— laptops
Do I really want to learn how to roll a cigarette?— ThraX_
Making Money Without Lifting A Finger
A 2007 "easy money" tutorial thread that immediately dissolved into unhide-begging and liar accusations
Member Captin_55 posted a 2007 tutorial claiming to show how to earn a few dollars a day with no effort, hidden behind an unhide/download wall. The thread quickly became a back-and-forth of skeptics calling it a lie, others demanding direct links because rapidshare wouldn't work for them, and staff member AKULA mocking the location complaint. Despite the doubts, several members kept posting 'unhide' just to see the content, and the OP updated the download link more than once. Classic Random Tuts energy: equal parts hustle-scheme hype and community ribbing.
liar. unhide.— snuffz
HOLY SHIT UNHIDE— rape
Lmao where the fuck is that? On mars??— AKULA
How To Save Money On Batteries
A random 'life hack' tutorial thread that everyone clicked, only to get told it was fake
Posted in the Random Tuts subforum of Off-Topic, this thread offered a supposed trick for saving money on batteries, prompting a wave of curious one-word replies ('lol', 'ty', 'unhide') typical of low-effort tutorial threads on the board. A few pages in, longtime member NutterNZ flatly debunked it as fake, which didn't stop stragglers from still thanking the OP or asking what the batteries were even for. It's a small, mundane snapshot of the forum's off-topic culture — random tutorials, drive-by replies, and a couple of banned members turning up in the thread history.
Btw guys, its fake— NutterNZ
uuuuh i need batteries for what?— Eckos
lets still see lolz haha what crap rofl— olie22
Perfect Way to Annoy and Make Money lolol
OP teases a get-rich-quick 'method,' hides it when nobody bites, and twenty members line up begging for the reveal
A member named fouine posted a vague, clickbait-style tutorial promising a way to 'annoy and make money' but explicitly noted it was 'Not tested!!!' When replies were slow to arrive, the OP hid the content out of frustration, sparking a long chain of members (from Noobs to a '1000 Club' veteran) begging to 'unhide' the post so they could see what it actually was. The thread never really delivers any content in the visible portion — it's mostly a comedy of anticipation, confusion, and forum-status flexing in the Random Tuts subforum.
NO ONE IS REPLYING SO I HIDE RWAR!!— fouine
You've got to be kidding me.— [LiP]STicK.
this must not work.. let me see it rofl— DudeNo
Portal: Stand Alone FileFront Share Thread
One measly download link for Valve's brand-new Portal kept this thread alive for two months straight.
Posted by dark_skillz in late November 2007, this thread shared a single FileFront download link for a standalone version of Valve's just-released game Portal, complete with a copy-pasted Wikipedia-style blurb about the game. The replies stretch from December 2007 into February 2008, with dozens of members dropping in to say thanks, ask for a working link, or complain that the download had no sound. It's a classic Red Light District 'warez sharing' thread — low effort, high traffic, mostly one-line gratitude and bug reports.
there is no sound in the game— ruby16
Might I say I love you?... If this works of course...— valucard

Crysis 'Crack' Posted Before the Game Even Released
Someone posted a 'crack' for Crysis... before Crysis had even come out.
A 2007 thread in the Red Light District > Games section where a member posted a Razor 1911 release/Rapidshare links for Crysis along with a chunk of copy-pasted game description text. Other members quickly clowned on the timing, pointing out the game hadn't even been released yet, making cracked copies logically impossible. Lighthearted, low-effort thread typical of the forum's piracy-adjacent 'Red Light District' board, with regulars ribbing each other rather than any real drama.
It's not out yet ...— Peski-Ruski
And cracked games don't exist— Janza
wow so the crack doesnt work for a game that hasnt been out yet? haha— c0rpsegrinder
!Crysis! - Full Game Download Thread
One DVD, a Razor 1911 keygen, and 118 posts of pure 2007 warez-era hype for Crysis.
A classic Fkn0wned 'Games' subforum thread sharing a pirated copy of the just-released Crysis, dressed up with a full Razor 1911-style NFO (release notes, game blurb, install instructions) originally posted by anarchie65 and re-quoted by jacal. The thread is mostly a long tail of one-word 'thx/ty/nice' replies typical of full-game leech threads, punctuated by a mod scolding jacal for quoting an oversized NFO post, some troubleshooting chatter about mounting ISOs and burning to DVD since updates didn't work with the cracked exe, and general hype about the game's graphics and CryENGINE 2.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STILL WORK— hunterbrute224
jacal, you have now over 500 posts and you still don't get that you shouldn't quote so long posts?? if you did that on myg0t, you would be banned already imho..— LoRd Ragealot

Bioshock Crack/Release Thread
A 2007 thread full of 'unhide' one-liners chasing a pirated copy of Bioshock
This thread in the Red Light District's Games subforum was a release/download thread for the game Bioshock, started by longtime member pyeman shortly after the game's original 2007 launch. Most of the replies are short 'ty' or 'unhide' posts from members trying to reveal hidden download links, plus some back-and-forth about file sizes and whether a working crack for the game's copy protection actually existed. It's a classic snapshot of that era's warez-forum culture, where entire threads could run for months on little more than gratitude posts and requests to unlock content.
Hey, A legitimate crack has finally been released...— Sublyme
OMG PLEASE BE FOR REAL— Peski-Ruski
no way you can get past the online validator and ...— crad
Fucking EA and Fucking Microsoft
A Battlefield 2 install goes nuclear, and one member declares all-out war on EA, Vista, and refund policy
In the Rants and Raves subforum, member hunterbrute224 posted an all-caps meltdown after buying Battlefield 2, having the install allegedly corrupt his hard drive, and then getting refused a return because the CD key had been used. The thread turned into a casual pile-on against Windows Vista and EA's customer service, with other members commiserating, joking about DDoSing EA, and swapping their own Vista gripes. Classic mid-2000s forum energy: raw frustration, dark humor, and zero corporate filter.
I BLAME VISTA AND FUCKING EA THEY CAN GO SUCK ON SOME GOD DAMN CHODE— hunterbrute224
ddos'em— zubetube
its not EA's ffault VISTA OUT RIGHT SUCKS— olie22
Racism Rant Thread Devolves Into Ugly Argument
A 2008 off-topic thread that spirals into one of the forum's ugliest, most cringe-inducing arguments about race.
This thread in the Rants and Raves subforum started as a general rant topic and devolved into members trading racially charged jokes, slurs, and generalizations under the guise of 'ranting not flaming.' Several posters shared personal anecdotes framed as complaints about other races, while at least one member pushed back, calling out the double standards and mocking the more inflammatory posters. The thread is a stark, unfiltered artifact of the era's edgy forum culture, where racism was often waved off as 'just ranting.' No major drama with staff intervention is evident in this excerpt, just a heated back-and-forth among regular members.
they don't call each other 'niggers'. they calls each other 'niggas'. there is a difference.— Shifty

What Has The World Come To?
A CSS bot-catfish prank goes hilariously, uncomfortably wrong — posted for the whole forum to see.
aesir09 posted a copy-pasted in-game chat log from Counter-Strike: Source where he role-played as 'eXtAcY,' baiting a bot/player named {BOT}_EASY-MODE with a fake flirty persona before dropping the twist reveal. The thread lives in the Rants and Raves section, though it's really just a 'must see' greentext-style prank log rather than an actual rant. Don Ruski, a well-known banned FkN Godfather-ranked member, chimes in with dry one-liners riffing on the log getting the OP's MySpace hacked as retaliation.
im a 16 year old male, living in pennslyvania— eXtAcY (aesir09)
and now im copy and pasting this whole conversation and its going to be all over the net— eXtAcY (aesir09)
Somebody on this forum is so going to hack your MySpace.— Don Ruski
MOTHER FUCKER (Rants and Raves thread)
A pointless 3-month-old rant thread that just wouldn't die — and everyone kept asking what it was even about.
This is the tail end of a long-running Rants and Raves thread literally titled 'MOTHER FUCKER,' by page five mostly reduced to confused newcomers wandering in asking what the original post even said (since it had been hidden or edited out). A Supervisor shows up to scold members for bumping a stale, low-value thread, while a 1000 Club veteran jokes about paying for membership just to see hidden content. It's a good snapshot of forum culture at the time: hidden/locked posts gated behind post-count clubs, staff policing 'rants not flames,' and a thread surviving purely on curiosity and inertia.
Wow, would you idiots stop spamming useless shit in a 3 month old thread please.— HaSh
donate for 1k club and ull never see a hiden item again.. unless it runs out and u dont want to renew it— pyeman

Some One at Apple Should Go Die
A classic mid-2000s Mac-vs-PC pile-on: three pages of Fkn0wned members roasting Apple for existing
A Rants and Raves thread where forum members vented pure hatred for Apple, mocking iTunes bloatware on Windows, Apple's advertising-over-substance reputation, and Mac users in general. By page three the thread devolves into classic tech-forum tribalism, with posters rallying behind Linux and Windows as the 'real' computer user's choice. It's a snapshot of that era's console-war-style brand loyalty, just aimed at operating systems instead of games.
Yeah one day someone will learn how to make a computer without making it a total fuck-up oh wait they already have... HAIL LINUX— AlbinoBoi

Heath Ledger Death Sparks Callous-Take Backlash
A dead actor, a callous OP, and a forum split down the middle over whether it's ever okay to clown on the newly deceased.
A January 2008 Rants and Raves thread reacting to the real-world death of actor Heath Ledger. The OP, Scratch, dismissed the public mourning and called Ledger a 'junky' who OD'd, sparking pushback from other members who found the take mean-spirited and pointless rather than edgy. A small back-and-forth followed with mixed opinions, some agreeing it was his own fault, others just annoyed at the tone.
Can people stop feeling sorry for this guy... his weren't THAT incredible he still is a junky and like all junkies he OD'd like an idiot.— Scratch
I just don't like people thinking their cool on the internet slagging off a dead guy.— Shifty
Its his own fault. I don't feel sry for him at all. Fkn idiot— Jack Daniels
Fucking Drama Whores
A 2008 teenage meltdown about school drama, weeaboos, and a math teacher — pure Rants and Raves gold.
A rant thread in the Off-Topic > Rants and Raves section where user ri0t unloads a stream-of-consciousness venting session about high school drama: girls who 'whore themselves out' emotionally, an anime-obsessed clique who yelled at him in Japanese for dissing Inuyasha, a friend mad over a crush situation, and a grade dropped due to a missed calculus test. The rant spirals outward into broader anger at news stories and politics before he signs off. It's a classic example of the forum's designated 'vent your anger, don't flame people' rant space being used exactly as intended, with all the chaotic, ALL-CAPS energy of a 2008 teenager online.
OMFG WTF IS WITH THESE GOD DAMNED DRAMA WHORES!!!!!!— ri0t
Got the wappanese club up my ass cause i dissed "Inuyasha" and made fun of the fact they want to be asian, and they fucking yell at me in japanese!!!— ri0t
Now I am done. Thankyou for your time.— ri0t
Css Kiddies.
A guy rage-quits patience over mic-spamming CS:S 10-year-olds, and the whole forum piles on to argue about who was ever that annoying kid.
Started August 2007 in the Rants and Raves section, this thread is pherball venting about young, mic-spamming kids ruining Counter-Strike: Source public servers, contrasting it unfavorably with CS 1.6. It quickly turns into a back-and-forth with regulars like laptops, [Klan5]Dominator, and Necrobutcher trading jabs about hypocrisy ('you were a 10 year old once too'), whether mic spam is actually funny, and the general state of CS:S pubs versus 1.6. The tone is classic mid-2000s forum rage-thread banter — profanity-laden, half-joking, half-genuine complaint — with a few stragglers still replying months later into November 2007.
I hate CS;S fucking 10 year olds that come into my damn server and have to spam their fucking mic— pherball
your shit is B A N A N A S— laptops
theres a difference between being fucking retarded... — Jaska
Favorite Artists/Bands
The [FkN] crew drops their entire music libraries — from Nas to Nickelback to 200GB of chiptune and dubstep.
A laid-back off-topic thread in the Music -beta- subforum where Emrys asked members to share their favorite artists and bands. Replies ranged from concise rap/hip-hop lists to sprawling, genre-by-genre dumps covering everything from trance and hardstyle to indie, dubstep, metalcore, reggae, and chiptune. It's a snapshot of mid-2010 music taste across the [FkN] Graphics Crew and general membership, more casual hangout than debate, with a few running jokes about rap vs. pop.
lol don't ask a producer what his favourite music is. oh gawd here we go... commencing dump— lulraep

I listen to what ever I like so I can't quite answer the question— NIX
Habbo Hotel scripting/hack request thread
A CS:S regular asks for Habbo Hotel help "for a friend" and the thread spirals into scam talk and a guy who blew $500 on furni
A member named Cud kicks off an off-topic request asking for something to help with Habbo Hotel, insisting it's 'for a friend,' which nobody buys. The thread meanders through jokes about keyloggers, casino scams, and swindling younger players out of credits and furniture, with one poster (Astrea) actually giving a thoughtful, world-weary breakdown of why Habbo scripting wasn't worth it before telling Cud to save his friend from the game entirely. It gets bumped weeks later by a newcomer who claims to have lost $500+ on Habbo and wants a hack, only to get roasted for his broken English. Classic small side-board thread showing the community's casual attitude toward scamming and 'hacking' unrelated games, wrapped in typical fkn0wned snark.
why you gonna hax on habbo lol?— p5y
join a retro hotel. Even better yet, stuff Habbo it's a complete waste of time. Rescue "your friend" before its too late.— Astrea
Learn to speak probably English then we can talk about it =P— {}JuNNeZ{}
Technical Issues catch-all thread
Broken PCs, cracked Windows, and 'ban dis geezer' — the fkn0wned tech support dumping ground.
A general help thread in the Computers General board where members brought their PC problems: StyleXp headaches, a dodgy DVD-RW drive, a new ATI GFX card, CS:S crashes, and even a member openly running a cracked copy of Windows. Responses were casual and often unhelpful or half-joking, culminating in one poster getting called out and told to be banned for spammy repeat posts. Spanned from Christmas Eve 2006 into mid-2007, a low-key but very of-its-era slice of forum life.

Sandra - Hot Blonde: a reply-to-unlock ritual thread
A hidden-content porn post that racked up two pages of one-word 'ty's — peak forum-econ nostalgia.
A low-effort R18 post in the Porn Paradise > Images/Videos section, made by moderator/supervisor 'Shifty.' (aka Cock Tha Hammer), sharing a hidden video file behind a 'reply to unlock' wall — a very typical mid-2000s forum mechanic for driving post counts. The thread ran from October to November 2007 and mostly consists of members thanking the poster or asking to see the content, with little actual discussion. It's a small but representative snapshot of the site's Red Light District-adjacent culture and the reply-for-access rituals common on cheat-scene forums of the era.
Reply for hidden content— Shifty.

Hentai Rapidshare Thread - 'Immortal Sisters'
The classic hide-tag hentai dump that survived a whole domain migration, from Gametration to fkn0wned
A one-off share thread in the age-restricted 'Porn Paradise' section, where a member posted Rapidshare links to a hentai title behind a hidden-content tag, prompting a long string of 'thx'/'unhide'/'hot' one-liner replies from regulars trying to unlock it. Notable mostly for showing the mundane social mechanics of the forum's off-topic underbelly: reputation grinding, one-word bumps, and the classic R18 disclaimer warning kids to stay out. The thread itself was carried over verbatim when the site rebranded/migrated from Gametration.com to Fkn0wned.com, making it a small time-capsule of that transition.
Hi kiddies, this section is rated R18, that means adults only. If your mommy or daddy doesn't like your bad habbits then don't get snapped coming in here.
hentai! unhide— p5y
Some call it noise, I call it addiction.— Blaqk
3 Streaming Gangbangs — Porn Paradise thread that survived the Gametration-to-fkn0wned migration
A single zshare link kept this thread alive for 7 pages and across a whole site rebrand.
A long-running post in the age-restricted 'Porn Paradise > Images/Videos' section, sharing streaming adult video links via zshare.net. The thread is mostly one-word bumps ('nice', 'ty', 'woo') from regular members thanking the poster, and it's notable mainly for surviving long enough to carry over from the Gametration.com forum into its successor site, Fkn0wned.com, with the same thread number and section structure intact. It captures the low-effort, community-glue side of the forum: an R18-gated corner tucked away from the cheat-database and CS scripting boards, moderated with a jokey 'don't get caught by your parents' disclaimer.

Activating Windows on a Suspiciously Cheap Notebook
A guy needs to activate Windows on a laptop he admits he bought suspiciously cheap — 14 days on the clock.
A member called b0ng posts in a mild panic with a countdown of 14 days to activate Windows on a notebook he'd bought for a suspiciously low price from someone else. Fellow members needle him about the obviously secondhand/'illegally possessed' machine before pointing him toward getting a fresh copy of XP from the site's Software section, with a firm warning to steer clear of Vista and sketchy modded 'XP Extreme' builds. Small, chatty, low-stakes thread typical of the era's casual tech-help culture, with some good-natured ribbing mixed in.
Why would you steal it ? Also, go to software and install some new windows junk MONKEY NUTS.— vermiLLion
I've tried many things to activate windows on my illegally possesed notebook. I have about 14 days left— b0ng
Whatever you do, DON'T DOWNLOAD OR BUY VISTA.— vermiLLion
"owned" - the fake Steam keygen prank chat log
One member posted a chat log pranking a friend into running a fake Steam keygen — and the thread title says it all: owned.
A member called thesource posted a copy-pasted IRC/MSN-style chat log in which a user with a heavily unicode-stylized handle convinces someone named Agptokoo to download what's described as a fake CS:S/Steam CD-key generator, teasing them the whole way through with jokes about free accounts and getting 'tricked.' The log ends with Agptokoo furious after realizing they'd been had, going offline in disgust. A staff moderator (WillowZ- mr.N0Nam3) followed up, and the post itself carries an edit note that virus links were stripped out. It's a classic 'Other Raging' board post: low effort, high comedy, someone getting clowned for the room's entertainment.
owned, ty for that fkn shock.exe thinggy whoever made it :)
WTF IS THIS SHITTTTT!!!!— <|ň>Agptokoo
u got tricked lmao— [א]ح-ғεvэя.εҳε/łєєт Ҝязŵ Ĭяαṭє
Trading Steam Account For Habbo
A guy tries to trade away his TF2/Portal/HL2-loaded Steam account... for Habbo Hotel furni.
In this 2007 Other Trades thread, member Archies offers to swap a Steam account stacked with Team Fortress 2, Portal, Garry's Mod, Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2 and its episodes for Habbo Hotel goods, admitting Steam had gotten boring for him. The replies mostly mock the idea, with regulars questioning why anyone would 'downgrade' from Steam to Habbo, debating UK vs .com/.AU Habbo servers, and one poster half-jokingly suggesting shady account-grabbing methods. Archies eventually backs off the trade and decides to keep his Habbo account instead, ending the thread on an anticlimactic note.
Hmm ye i know its gay, But atm i have got back into habbo.— Archies
LOL. Why would you downgrade like that. It is so e...— Astrea
nvm i just like decided to keep it :/— djb
System Of A Down discography share thread
One member dumps all five SOAD albums for +rep — the classic Fkn0wned music-sharing ritual, right down to the broken links a decade later.
In the Music subforum of the Red Light District section, member LoRd Ragealot posted a full System Of A Down discography (self-titled through Hypnotize) with cover art, tracklists, and download links gated behind a password, asking for +rep in return. A steady trickle of members dropped by over the following weeks just to say thanks, showing the low-effort 'ty'-reply culture typical of these download threads. A late reply posted 'Yesterday' shows someone still visiting the thread years after the fact, only to find the links already dead.
We love to entertain you! +rep appreciated.— LoRd Ragealot
yeah boy! i like their early stuff— pashy
I love you EDIT: Broken links! D:— Subgraf
LeBron vs Kobe vs MJ GOAT debate (Christmas Day 2009)
Cavs vs Lakers on Christmas Day sparks a full-blown LeBron-vs-Kobe-vs-MJ slap fight in the Sports & Fitness forum
A December 2009 thread started by founder TuxifieD recapping the Christmas Day Lakers-Cavs game spirals into a wide-ranging NBA debate: Shaq's effort level, whether the Cavs should keep him, and who's really the GOAT between Kobe, LeBron, and Jordan. Members trade playoff predictions (Celtics, Magic, Heat, Suns all get shoutouts), argue stats and team context, and it gets long-winded with a couple of members going back and forth hard. A rapidshare link to the game recording gets dropped mid-thread, very of-its-era. The poll results show a near-even split on whether LeBron and Kobe are just 'great' or 'the greatest ever,' and the Cavs-keep-Shaq vote leans no.
Lakers fans eventually boo'd their own team and threw shit onto the court. Cavs take it this year.— TuxifieD
gun neither Kobe nor Lebron are the greatest players ever. MJ is the best player of all time.— Mystik
Labron > (Kobe x 5 more yrs)haha trust me im blk— thejah
NEW VID CARD SON — Junnyerr's Ancient GeForce FX 5200 Saga
Junnyerr admits he stole a graphics card... and it's so old Windows 7 won't even talk to it.
A Tech Support thread where longtime member Junnyerr asks for help finding Windows 7 drivers for an ancient PNY GeForce FX 5200 card. Fellow member Filter breaks the bad news that the card is too old to be supported on Win7 and walks him through diagnosing his (equally dated) Dell Dimension setup via DxDiag, since Junnyerr just wants enough power to run CS 1.6. Classic low-stakes tech-support back-and-forth, notable mainly for Junnyerr's casual admission that the card in question was stolen.
Thank god I stoled this cheap shit.— Junnyerr
That card is OLD, wow man.— Filter
Just 1.6— Junnyerr
Solid State Hard Drives: Worth $700 for 250GB?
2010's hottest tech debate: are SSDs worth $700 for 250GB?
A member named Paradix asks whether it's worth building a new PC around a solid state drive, given the eye-watering prices of the era, and which brand to consider. The consensus from the regulars is a firm 'not yet' — SSDs were still too pricey and impractical compared to a cheap 1TB SATA drive, though everyone agreed the speed was impressive. A nice little time capsule of early SSD skepticism before they became standard.
i mean an intel 250g was like 700 bucks!— Paradix
SSD's are fucking expensive as shit. Althoguh i gotta admit this is some fucking awesome speed.— Slickz
just get a 1tb SATA hdd, that will sort you out. space wise, you're set. speed wise, it won't really matter for a couple of years.— lulraep
Robot Marriage, Im serious
Could you legally marry a robot by 2010? fkn0wned's Debating forum weighed in, and it got weird fast.
A 2007 Debating-board thread sparked by a class article on Honda's talking, violin-playing robot Robina, asking whether a human could morally marry a human-like robot with no soul. The thread quickly splits between earnest philosophical musings on robot emotions and aging, and members cracking jokes about robot sex, drop-kicking robotic partners, and misreading the plot of I, Robot. Classic mid-2000s off-topic sprawl: half sincere futurism, half locker-room heckling, capped off by a staff member just wanting to shoot robots in the face.
So what happens if in the future a Robot and a Human "Fall in love" and decide to get married? Is this morally wrong, how would people react.— hunterbrute224
who gives a shit you will be like 30 or older just drop kick that hoe— Afteryou
Shit I cant wait til I can get a gun and run around shooting robots in the face.— HaSh
Global Warming Debate (2008)
2008's climate change flame war, complete with an Al Gore takedown and an IQ of -1 insult
A long-running Off-Topic debate thread (already on its third page) where members argued the merits and skepticism of global warming/climate change, a hot-button topic of the mid-2000s. Posts range from one-liners joking about warmer Canadian weather, to a lengthy skeptic manifesto citing 'global cooling' fears from decades prior and questioning the science, to pushback citing worsening storms as proof of human impact. Classic early-forum Debating board energy: half-researched arguments, personal jabs, and no one changing their mind.
Global warming makes Canada warmer. Thank God.— Firerain
I feel this thread lacks brains on the side of against global warming.— ri0t
then you sir must have an IQ of -1. kthnxbai.— killswitch101
Mac VS PC, rofl
A 40+ post religious war over Macs, PCs, and who's the bigger fanboy — ends in someone getting called a 'pre-judging cunt'
A classic late-2000s Mac vs PC flame war in the Debating subforum, running at least 3 pages deep by the time this excerpt picks up. Members argued over OS security myths, GPU specs, SLI setups, price, and 'performance vs design,' with the usual mix of half-informed tech takes and fanboy posturing. It escalates from casual back-and-forth into a personal spat between Anexxion and Olie22 over PC vs Mac performance claims, complete with insults and mod-bait language. Pure early forum debate-culture nostalgia — everyone's an expert, nobody agrees, and it's all in good chaotic fun.
your talking out of your arse so stfu... ur a pre-judging cunt and stereotypical since u hate PC fanboys.— Olie22
geez, i hate PC fanboys, macs ARE better than PC in terms of performance/design.— Anexxion

Why Do You Smoke Marijuana? (2007 Debating Thread)
A 2007 Off-Topic debate thread where teenage forum regulars argued about weed, brownies, and dying faster.
Started by member Industry (who noted he'd accidentally duplicated Peski-Ruski's identical thread title), this Debating-board thread asked members why they smoke marijuana and how they got started. Responses ranged from proud non-smokers (olie22, banak, hunterbrute224) to casual and daily users (kingkoopa, QuiX, orangespwnz), with Afteryou repeatedly clashing with others over the morality and health effects of smoking versus edibles. The tone is classic mid-2000s teenage forum debate: blunt, a little edgy, mixing genuine personal stories with trash talk and 'lol' one-liners.
Smoke if you wanna die faster.— Afteryou
dont smoke it never will and im proud of it— olie22
Don't smoke it then, make special brownies,problem solved.— LoG1c
Germany: Nazi Jokes, WW2 Flamewar, and 'It's Just a Country'
A Russian-in-Germany kid asks the forum what they think of his country, and it spirals into a WW2 debate and a rant about coffee shops.
Started by Peski-Ruski, a Russian member living in Germany who was tired of getting called a Nazi in text fights, this thread asked members for their honest first impressions of Germany. Replies ranged from genuine affection (autobahns, legal-ish weed myths, prostitution jokes) to lazy 'Germany = Nazis' jabs, with some mixing up Germany and the Netherlands/Belgium along the way. It escalates when Jack Bauer drops a flat 'GERMANY=FAIL, think about WW2,' prompting a long, furious rebuttal from Peski-Ruski dragging US history (Vietnam, Afghanistan, the Taliban, oil, racism) into the mix before things cool back into shrugs of 'it's just a country.'
GERMANY=FAIL if you don't agree, think about WW2— Jack Bauer
You piece of useless dogshit. Are you fucking playing smart?— Peski-Ruski
lol what?! haha. who cares, its a fucking country. have fun.— -Still Life-
