Gun Laws: US vs UK Debate Turns Into Arsenal-Comparing

A 2007 argument about American gun control turns into dudes comparing home arsenals and beer cap collections.

Founding/staff member Shifty. kicked off a Debating-board thread contrasting US Second Amendment culture with UK gun laws, asking whether the US should tighten firearm sales given its high gun-death rate. The five-page thread meandered through the usual UK-vs-US gun debate, then got personal when Jack Daniels listed out his family's actual gun collection, prompting Astrea and Peski-Ruski to needle him for 'trying to look hard on the internet' while Peski-Ruski deflated the tension by comparing his own 'arsenal' to kitchen cutlery and a beer-cap collection. Fairly typical early-2010s (well, 2007) forum off-topic debate energy — earnest political opinions mixed with light mockery and internet-tough-guy jabs.

And I got a kitchen knife, a couple of forks, a spoon and a machete. My arsenal rocks.— Peski-Ruski

nah i use them. they dont just sit there.— Jack Daniels

gg trying to look hard on the internetz.— Astrea

Best Drinks!

Fkn0wned's cheat-scene regulars trade favorite booze mixes and drop a 'J + A = 1337' joke that basically says the topic's already solved.

A lighthearted Off-Topic/Debating thread from November 2007 where forum members swap their favorite alcoholic drinks and mixers — rum and coke, vodka with OJ or Sprite, gin and tonic, absinthe, and more. Staff members and long-time posters chime in alongside newer members, giving it a casual, community-hangout feel typical of the board's off-topic banter. A running joke about the thread being a 'double-threaded' repeat (a rehash of a past drinks thread) adds a bit of in-community continuity humor, with a member literally named 'Jack Daniels' fittingly showing up to say he prefers to drink himself.

Double-threaded. Assuming 'J' is Jack Daniels and 'A' is anything drinkable. J + A = 1337. Don't bother, the equation is already solved.— Peski-Ruski

i prefer to drink myself, the captains my friend as well— Jack Daniels

Dark rum and coke. Jack D. Guinness. Absinthe.— cedars

YOUTUBE RANTOVER

Don Ruski nearly went deaf watching cringe YouTube videos and needed the whole forum to know about it

A 2008 rant thread in the Rants and Raves subforum where user Don Ruski vents about bizarre, cringe-inducing YouTube videos he stumbled upon while searching for stand-up comedy. The rant spirals into a broader complaint about people posting embarrassing content of themselves online instead of playing CSS or going outside, comparing the trend unfavorably to MySpace. Classic unhinged, all-caps 2008 internet-culture griping, typical of the forum's rant section vibe.

I had the volume at 5% and I still had to keep my ears closed so they wouldn't start bleeding.— Don Ruski

YOU ARE AS RETARDED AS A REGURGITATED FINKLE MATTER!!!!!!!!!!!!111— Don Ruski

GETFOFFTHEINTERNET!!! GO TO FAT CAMP.— Don Ruski

learning the CSS language: a comedy of cross-talk

A CS:S vet asks how to learn 'the CSS language' — and gets gloriously, hilariously misunderstood

Shikaku, a longtime C++ guy, posted asking for tutorials to pick up 'CSS' assuming it meant Counter-Strike: Source's scripting/config side, but the thread veered into confusion over CSS the web styling language instead. An admin cracked a joke with a reaction image, moopy dropped a nonsensical shitpost about server languages, and Repulse eventually gave an earnest, on-topic answer pointing to a classic beginner web dev resource. A tiny, low-stakes thread that captures the goofy cross-talk and casual chaos typical of the board's Discussion subforum.

CSS is a web programming language.— ap3x

if u play a server in north america the langue is engrish but in mexica they will sprek french at you— moopy

you're retarded. I learned the css language here... very good tutorials. Easy language too— Repulse

[REQ] games that dont need installation

A kid locked out by his dad's Vista password begs the forum for games with no .exe — chaos ensues

A member named truce07 asked for install-free games because his dad had locked down every permission on his Vista laptop, hoping for something like CS or Condition Zero without needing Steam or an installer. Replies ranged from a dubious utorrent workaround to blunt dismissals that no real FPS could run that way, with truce07 pushing back and claiming success running a custom Halo 1 build off a U3 flash drive. The thread has that classic mid-2000s mix of genuine tech-help attempt and forum ribbing, including a jab about his dad and a sign-off putdown from a senior member.

my dad made it so i cant do shit cus theres a passwrod for every little thing...— truce07

lol your dads a c*nt , get your own comp, will work out much better!— Cud

not true. i am running that custom halo 1 online only game from my U3 flash drive.— truce07

Describe Your Sex-life In One WoW Term

Fkn0wned's WoW crowd turns their love lives into a wall of in-game error messages, and the results are pure copypasta gold.

A lighthearted joke thread in the MMORPG's subforum, admittedly lifted from MMO-Champion, asking members to sum up their sex lives using a single World of Warcraft phrase or system message. Regulars piled in with lines like 'Target is too low level' and 'You are facing the wrong way,' with a brief bit of banter over whether someone was pointlessly reviving an old thread. Nothing dramatic happened — just a low-stakes, quintessentially forum-era gag thread that ran to a second page.

Target is too low level.— the unnamed

We are currently experiencing a high volume of petitions— Cryptolic89

Tut tut, gravedig much?— Mutil8

The 2008 porn-links bump thread

One guy dropped a list of porn links in 2008 and the entire forum lined up to say 'ty'

A member named nemnem posted a list of free adult site links in mid-2008, and the thread became a classic low-effort bump magnet, stretching across multiple pages as dozens of members dropped one-word 'ty', 'thx', or 'unhide' replies just to see the content. It's less a discussion and more a time capsule of forum culture from the era — the kind of thread that existed purely to rack up post counts in the Porn Paradise section. Eventually archived off into the Trash Can as an Old Post once the site cleaned house.

gateway to heaven!— nemnem

[RS] [MU] Anarchist Cookbook / Banned Book Collection

FLaTLiN3D drops the infamous 'banned books' bundle and nobody's quite sure what they just downloaded

A 2011 post in the E-Books, Magazines & More sub-board of the Red Light District, where user FLaTLiN3D shared a password-locked mirror/download link for a collection of 'cookbooks' (i.e. the Anarchist Cookbook and similar banned-book material), with the standard disclaimer that he wasn't responsible for the contents. The thread is short and low-drama, mostly reply-to-unlock leechers saying thanks over the following weeks, plus a bit of in-jokey ribbing from crew member Phenex about forum formatting. It closes with a newer member genuinely asking what the thread even is, capturing the classic 'blind leech' culture of these boards.

I'm not liable for the information provided, nor did I write it.— FLaTLiN3D

You're welcome, leechers.— FLaTLiN3D

May I ask what this is?— Nintendo

Fuck Valve: Steam Account Ban Rage Thread

Steam banned his account, proof of purchase in hand, and he just wanted to rage about it — turns out half the forum had the same story.

Started by Niceyyyys venting about a disabled Steam account and unresponsive support despite providing proof of purchase, this Raging-forum thread turned into a shared gripe session about Steam Support's inconsistent response times and account bans. Members swapped stories of getting 4- and 5-digit (early/legacy) accounts disabled, some recovering them after days or weeks of persistence, phone calls, or creative excuses, while others cynically theorized Valve disabled accounts on purpose to farm repeat sales. It's a classic slice of the late-2000s CS scene's love-hate relationship with Steam.

my 4 digit fucking got fucking disabled and i gave proof of purchase and ck key sto steam they still havent replyed been 3 days fuuuuuuuck— Niceyyyys

tell you the truth steam can fucking burn if all i care— hoOkz

for that reason i have only 8 digit accounts— NeQx

Science Fair Project Help Thread

A kid asks fkn0wned for science fair ideas and gets an airsoft photogate pitch, an LHC suggestion, and a mid-thread flame war instead.

A member called learning08 posted in the Off-Topic 'Homework' subforum asking for high-school science fair project ideas, and the thread turned into the usual mix of genuine suggestions (social sciences, wood bending vs. moisture, airsoft-based speed/velocity tests using photogates, even the Large Hadron Collider) and forum banter. A running back-and-forth with regular -Jedi- escalated from joking about a lava lamp idea into a small flame exchange before the thread petered out with more members chiming in. It's a small, wholesome-but-snarky slice of the community helping (and ribbing) one of its own with actual schoolwork.

hes in 11th grade and it CAN BE ANYTHING!— -Jedi-

that was my dad's idea. i don't care. your life is an epic failure (-jedi-)— learning08

Fuck wiki..terrible source— Mystik

Crazy Things Are Happening in America.. (the Bible derail)

A doomsday video spirals into an unsolicited sermon, and half the staff shows up to say 'no thanks.'

What started as a thread about 'crazy things happening in America' turned into an impromptu religious debate after a member (Eyon99999) tried to convert the thread with Bible prophecy talk. Several long-time members and staff — TripleD, NigelStrawberry, デイブ, d0t1q, and TheJah — pushed back, ranging from dismissive one-liners to a more measured plea to not let the thread devolve into a religion-pushing argument. It's a classic slice of forum culture: an off-topic derail handled with sarcasm, mild mockery, and a mod stepping in to keep the peace without shutting it down entirely.

1/10 made me read— TripleD

They are vague fairy tales that can be partially applied to one of infinite occurrences in life.— NigelStrawberry

im all into Christianity myself but even i kno better to judge and condemn people— TheJah

Privacy, NSA, and Google Monopoly Debate

NSA feels, Google conspiracy theories, and a monopoly lecture — a 2013 privacy debate that got weirdly academic.

A Serious Discussion thread where members debated online privacy, government surveillance, and the growing power of companies like Google. Opinions ranged from resigned ('just don't use the internet if you want privacy') to dismissive ('why does it matter, you're not that important') to a more heated pushback arguing that data monopolies and lack of competition were the real danger. The owner PopTart weighed in with practical anti-tracking advice, while TheComedian escalated things into a mini-lecture on monopolies and market competition, closing with an ironic 'wake up' jab at another poster's joke.

Google The Tyrant.— Jeremy

When on the internet you should not expect any privacy. If you do not want your privacy invaded, simply don't use the internet.— PopTart

why does it matter if any of these companies have your information? are you really that important...— Jimy

UK Users - Clocks Going Forward

The most British thread possible: an entire page of thec0re members just confirming they'd changed their clocks.

A small, cozy General Banter thread from March 2008 where a UK member reminded everyone that the clocks had gone forward for daylight saving. It quickly turned into members from all over the world - UK, US, Australia, Belgium, Denmark - checking in to say they'd adjusted their clocks too, or complaining about lost sleep. Completely mundane, but a nice little snapshot of the international, laid-back community vibe outside of the cheat/hack side of the forum.

The time just went 1 hour ahead, so ajust your clocks, mobiles, phones and anything else etc.. this might also count for other countries but i dont kno— Laptops

my dad got pissed at me because of this i didnt adjust my clock so i was on the pc till 4 am -.-— ThePyeman

Perth people now can move there time back 1 hr thanks to end of daylight saving loll— zyc3

Warez-BB.org "Hacked" (Actually an Early April Fool's Joke)

Rival warez site 'gets hacked,' whole forum loses it — turns out it was just an April Fool's prank a day early

Thread kicks off with Inzane pointing to warez-bb.org appearing defaced/hacked, with mods and admins supposedly banned and 'free stuff' being handed out. Members pile on with speculation about how it was done (bruteforce, trojans, exploits) and jokes about grabbing free accounts, while a few voice sympathy or skepticism. It's eventually revealed the whole thing was an April Fool's joke posted a day early specifically so nobody would suspect it, and by the end members are ribbing each other for having fallen for it.

Weell, if you see the "lulz" on top click it. ^^ Owned. Every mod/admin is banned.— Inzane

It's a good trick. They do the prank BEFORE April Fool's Day so that no one THINKS that it is a prank— Niall

Took me 3 minutes to see it was fake tho ^^— Inzane

Well. I need your guys help. (the weed/urine test thread)

A forum member's doctor's appointment turned into a community-wide crash course in flushing your system.

A member posting under the handle Seaking asked the General Discussion board for advice on clearing THC from his system before an upcoming doctor's appointment, having smoked shortly before learning about the visit. Fellow members, including regular Sideways and Supervisor mr.N0Nam3, chimed in with the usual mix of joking and half-serious suggestions like chugging huge amounts of water. It's a classic slice of mid-2000s forum culture — off-topic, low-stakes personal drama treated with total sincerity and a little dark comedy.

It involves urine and my mom being pissed off.— Seaking

Drink around 8 gallons of water (serious)— Sideways

BME Pain Olympics Shock Thread

A 2007 thread where someone made the mistake of googling 'BME Pain Olympics' and warning everyone else not to

A classic early-2000s shock-content thread from the General Discussion board, where OP 'pato' brings up the infamous BME Pain Olympics video/images and asks if anyone else has seen it. Replies quickly veer into other extreme-body-mod internet lore (suspension hooks, 4chan references) with reaction images. Typical of the era's forum culture where shock sites and gross-out content got passed around as a rite of passage.

Is so fucken nasty, I almost fucken puked. anyone else no one about it?— pato

Don't know about it but I saw this thing on 4chan once with this girl suspended by hooks IN her back.— Marc347

good hw site?

A 2007 homework-help thread where the cheat scene briefly became a study group.

A member named mr.N0Nam3 asked if anyone knew a good homework help site, and a handful of regulars chimed in with genuinely earnest advice — Google tricks, subject-specific search engines, and offers to personally help with math or university-level physics and chemistry. A small, wholesome detour from the usual gaming and cheat-scene talk typical of Fkn0wned's General Discussion board.

If you ever need maths pm me the stuff and ill have a go at it if you want.— sammo

i find the most hopefully places are university libs. even for younger students. great places.— Kismism

The Hardest Thing You've Ever Done

A debate thread about tough moments spirals into weed, 911 calls, and pizza-boy World Cup trash talk.

An Off-Topic/Debating thread where members shared personal stories about the hardest or most intense things they'd experienced. The conversation drifts into a chaotic anecdote from staffer 'Industry' about witnessing a bike accident, calling 911, and having to dodge cops due to weed on him and a friend. This spins off into unrelated banter about national sports pride (USA, Italy, Argentina) tied to soccer/basketball bragging rights, typical of the forum's loose, joke-heavy off-topic culture.

we ran down to see if he was ok, and then i ran all the way up the hill and around the corner to my friends house to call 911. i almost puked it was crazy...then when the cops came we had to sprint back ot his house because i had an ounce of weed on me and he had a bowl.— Industry

Might rape us but what about the pizza boys in italy and argentina they didnt rape them— mad tag

RuneScape Premium Debate Contest

One day, one debate thread, one month of RS premium on the line — staffer Don Ruski throws down the gauntlet.

A staff member, Don Ruski, launched a mini-contest in the Debating subforum: members had roughly 24 hours to start a 'sensible debate' thread that drew views from 10 different people, with a month of RuneScape premium membership as the prize. He set a hard deadline (midnight, January 6, 2008) and warned that spamming or low-effort 'party shagger' attempts would earn warnings, quoting another figure named Shifty on the consequences of racking up too many. It's a small, characteristic snapshot of the forum's incentive-driven off-topic culture, where staff nudged the userbase toward quality discussion using game-currency-adjacent prizes.

Alright so guys this is your lucky day, impress me.— Don Ruski

Some can't afford 3 warnings, ya, that's tough shit, live with it.— Shifty (quoted by Don Ruski)

[POTW] #3 - Is Global Warming Just a Hoax?

The old cheat forum's 'Poll of the Week' where gamers argued climate science between rounds of BF2 and CS:S.

This was the third installment of Fkn0wned.Com's 'Poll of the Week' series, posted in the Off-Topic > Debating subforum, asking members whether global warming was real or a hoax. The community voted mostly 'No' (12 to 5), and the discussion that followed was a fairly earnest back-and-forth about whether individual action mattered and how best to spread awareness, rather than a full-blown flame war. Regular members Don Ruski (a Supervisor with Godfather-tier post count) and The Moose (1000 Club member) traded measured takes, with a bit of the era's classic forum bravado thrown in for flavor.

I AM RIGHT, BITCHES! MWAHHAHAHAHA!!— The Moose

The point is to spread the message, find a video or a short source that will explain Global Warming briefly and will tell you how you can help out.— Don Ruski

Owned by Our Own Methods: The Great Link-Flood Thread

A single self-promo post that spiraled into a spam wall of the same link, posted a few hundred times over.

A member named swifys_nuts self-deprecatingly plugged a personal side-project website (a small computer-sales site) in the Counter-Strike 1.6 General board, joking about being broke and inexperienced. The post's link got copy-pasted an absurd number of times, effectively turning the thread into a wall of repeated URLs — a classic forum spam/flood post rather than any real discussion. Two unrelated stray links (unaffiliated with the OP's site) appear buried in the flood, suggesting possible tampering or a joke at the poster's expense. No real replies or discussion followed; it stands as a one-post curiosity rather than a proper thread.

Check out my newest shitty website where I try and sell computers.— swifys_nuts

Im poor, but I can find the best deals on the net.— swifys_nuts

Detox 2007 'Leak' Thread — A Time Capsule of an Album That Never Came

Someone dropped a Detox tracklist in 2007 — over a decade before that album ever actually came out.

A member of the Red Light District > Music board posted a purported tracklist and files for Dr. Dre's long-mythical 'Detox' album back in 2007, complete with guest features listed (Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Rakim, Mary J. Blige, The Game). A staff member, HaSh, replied dismissively calling it a 'pointless thread starter.' The exchange is a small time capsule of the endless internet speculation and leaks-that-weren't around Detox, an album that famously never materialized in that form.

VIVA LA OiNK!

Pointless thread starter— HaSh

Demonoid Invite Auction

Back when a Demonoid invite was worth more than half the cheats in the database.

A short auction thread on Gametration.com's Auctions section where user 'banak' offered Demonoid (the legendary private torrent tracker) invites to the highest PM bidder, complete with a screenshot proof link. Only one reply landed from 'SubZero' before the trail goes cold in the archive. A tiny snapshot of the era when invite-only tracker access was serious currency on cheat/gaming forums.

Demonoid invites. Pm me with bid.— banak

Get your facts right!— SubZero

DirectX 10 for Windows XP (Alky Project rapidshare thread)

The eternal early-2007 dream: DirectX 10 shaders on a Windows XP box, no Vista required.

A software-sharing thread in the Red Light District's Software subforum where supervisor Sonikk posted about the Alky Project's early compatibility layer letting DirectX 10-dependent games run on Windows XP instead of Vista. The post lists the alleged technical perks (Shader Model 4.0, HLSL 10, etc.) and links out to a rapidshare download, capped off with the classic era gag of a fake 'thanks.txt' donation file. Pure 2007 warez-forum energy: big claims, a screenshot, and a rapidshare link doing all the heavy lifting.

Directx 10 for XP is wanted from long time. An alpha version of it is available now.— Sonikk

Feel like saying thanks for the download? Then download this file to support me:— Sonikk

Photoshop CS3 Extended Software Share Thread

Six pages deep into 2007-2008, forum regulars are still saying thanks for a pirated copy of Photoshop CS3 Extended.

This was a long-running software-sharing thread in the Red Light District's Software subforum, offering a hidden download and patch for Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended, complete with a full feature rundown copied from Adobe's own marketing copy. The thread stretched to at least six pages over several months, with a steady trickle of members dropping in months apart just to say thanks or bump it, typical of these warez-sharing threads where visibility depended on replies. It captures the era's underground software-trading culture, where forum reputation and post-to-unlock mechanics gated access to full commercial software.

This is the patch that makes it extended.

REPLY FOR HIDDEN CONTENT— Shifty.

Windows XP Dark Edition warez release thread

The day someone dumped a whole custom Windows XP build, updates and all, into the Red Light District warez bin

A 2008 post in the Red Light District > Software section by uploader 'LoRd Ragealot' shared a heavily modified, updated Windows XP build packed with third-party addons, driver packs, and visual tweaks meant to mimic Vista. It's a classic slice of late-2000s software piracy forum culture: big text walls of changelogs, embedded Photobucket screenshots, and a handful of members hyping the release and hoping the download links weren't dead. Replies were short and enthusiastic, typical of the era's warez threads.

Very nice!!!!!!!!!!— xStJimmyx

Woohooo!!! hope no corrupted links o.O— kimpa60

Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise + Keygen Pack (35,000+ downloads)

The old 'free Office 2007' download thread that racked up 35,000+ downloads back in the day.

A software-sharing thread in the Red Light District's Software subforum, posted by supervisor/admin Shifty. on Sep 30 2007, offering a copy of Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise bundled with activation tools, alongside promotional screenshots and marketing blurb copied from Microsoft's own description of the suite. The thread title boasts of over 35,000 downloads, a badge of its popularity on the forum at the time. A couple of quick 'thnx' replies from members follow, typical of the low-effort gratitude posts common in these download threads.

Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise— Shifty.

thnx— __yess__

Share your epic fails

A rider loses his pants in front of the whole crew, then gets called a scammer mid-thread — peak Fkn0wned energy.

A lighthearted General Discussion thread inviting members to share embarrassing personal stories, kicked off by OmfgzATree's tale of a bike mishap that ended with him pantsless in front of friends and girls. The thread quickly took a jab as sto0ka accused OmfgzATree of scamming him in a trade, turning a silly icebreaker into a small callout moment. Typical low-stakes forum banter mixing self-deprecating humor with some drama residue from the trading/marketplace side of the community.

my jeans rip off and I'm riding a bike in my underwear.— OmfgzATree

My epic fail was trading with you a.k.a acammer.— sto0ka

Google Earth Your House

Members shared satellite screenshots of their own homes back when that felt like magic, not a privacy nightmare.

A lighthearted General Discussion thread where members posted Google Earth screenshots of their houses, campuses, and neighborhoods, trading jokes and jabs about what could (or couldn't) be seen from above. It ran to at least three pages, with regulars like twitceh, Marc347, Shifty, and Famousss chiming in. Nothing dramatic here — just a classic mid-2000s forum time-killer thread showing off a then-novel piece of tech.

oh yeh you can see red buses.— twitceh

do cavemen live in your garden?— Shifty

What Year Would You Live In?

Time-travel daydreams from a 2009 forum full of hackers and jokers

A lighthearted General Discussion thread where members picked a hypothetical year or era they'd want to live in and explained why. Answers ranged from nostalgic ('1970, rock n' roll!!') to absurdist jokes about using cheats to dominate historical events like WWI. It's a casual off-topic hangout thread typical of the site's community banter, with site founder Tuxified also chiming in.

I would live in 1970, ROCK N' ROLL!!!!!!!!— OmfgzATree

World war 1. Use my aimbot, wall hack and god mode, own the noobs.— iamrag

Free RapidShare Account Share Thread

Someone posted a shared RapidShare login and half the board showed up just to say thanks

A member named jab2000 posted account details for a shared RapidShare account (a premium file-hosting service popular for downloading warez, cheats, and other files in the late 2000s), noting the password couldn't be changed and giving an expiration date. The thread quickly filled with short replies from members thanking the poster or joking about it being a 'communal Rapidshare.' It's a classic low-effort but well-received freebie thread typical of the era, running at least four pages long.

That's actually useful. So basically a communal Rapidshare? lol— spammingman

Thank you, will be usefull.— iamrag

The Best of 2007

A year-end 'best of everything' list turns into a Linkin Park pile-on.

A member kicks off a lighthearted year-end tradition, listing his picks for best album, movie, video game, and TV show of 2007, inviting others to add their own categories. The thread quickly becomes a small skirmish over musical taste (Linkin Park catches heat) and a reminder that Call of Duty 4 was the game everyone insisted you had to play. Standard casual chatter for the Off-Topic board, with a couple of staff members chiming in.

LINKIN PARK?!?!? I wouldn't even consider putting Linkin Park in the top 1000.— miLLer

dude you need a life if you havent played COD 4 -.-— jcomp6

The Funny .gif Thread (56k Warning)

A decade-old dump of dead photobucket and tinypic links — the internet's original meme thread, in fossil form

A lighthearted General Discussion thread started by founder TuxifieD inviting members to post funny gifs to spice up forum replies, with a light rule against gore or low-effort posts. Regulars including Kimmi, f0wh, shwager, and a few newer members chimed in with batches of gifs and images (nearly all links now dead, hosted on old sites like Photobucket, TinyPic, and FunnyJunk). It's a classic slice of early-2010s forum culture — casual, meme-driven, and mildly flirty in the replies, with a small callback joke about Tux 'looking at Kathleen.'

Lets post some funny gifs that can spice up our replies in threads. Dont post shitty ones please.... make sure they are funny. No gore shit.— TuxifieD

lmao, its tux looking at Kathleen =O— shwager

Question About Illegal Aliens

A member's late-night 'hypothetical' about hit-and-run laws that only a forum full of teenagers would take seriously

A member calling himself zm0ney posed a bizarre hypothetical about hitting a pedestrian in a border town and whether it counted as a crime, sparking a handful of dark-humored replies from regulars. Old-school Fkn0wned member KZA (aka blaze.) and staffer Panda chimed in, treating the question with the kind of deadpan, edgy joking typical of the site's General Discussion board. It's a small, weird snapshot of the off-topic culture on the forum — shock-value questions tossed out for reaction, taken half-seriously by an audience of CS 1.6 kids.

Can you just leave because the perosn was illegal and shouldnt of been across the border and does this break any laws?— zm0ney

You would still get charged with murder. but it would be really hard to find you.— KZA

Official Duke Nukem Forever Teaser Video Drops (2007)

The vaporware trailer everyone thought would never come — dropped in Links/Humor back in '07.

A quick, low-key thread in the Off-Topic/Links-Humor section where a member shared the newly released official teaser for Duke Nukem Forever, a game infamous even then for its endless delays. A second member chimed in almost immediately, having seen the same clip on TV, confirming how big a deal the trailer's release was at the time. It's a small, dated snapshot of forum life — just two posts, no drama, just gamers geeking out over a long-awaited reveal.

I can't wait to see the next trailer!— Huffy778

I swear I was just gettin ready to post this. Just saw it on G4 lol.— Pr0wL3r454

Crysis Early-Release Warez Thread (Razor1911)

Someone dumped a scene-release copy of Crysis before it even hit shelves — and yeah, they warned you your PC couldn't handle it.

A 2007 post in the Red Light District > Games subforum shares an early/cracked release of Crysis attributed to the Razor1911 scene group, complete with game blurb, install notes, and a wall of hidden Rapidshare/Netload/FileFactory/Megashares download links split across dozens of parts. It's a classic piracy-board post from the era of part-RAR downloads and disposable file hosts, capped with the poster's dry joke about regretting not saving for a better PC. A quick reply from a regular follows, but the thread is mostly the release post itself.

Install and regret that you didnt save money to buy a new pc!— Janza

Ah, the sweet scent of crackers and hackers alike. Enjoy— Janza

[RS] 160 All-In-One's (AIO) Part 6

Kimmi's legendary RapidShare AIO dump hits Part 6 — the Warez board's version of a care package.

A Public Warez thread from the Red Light District section where longtime member and Smod 'Kimmi' posted another installment in an ongoing series of massive RapidShare 'All-In-One' software packs, credited as uploads by a user named Mustafa2403. The thread is a straightforward download-share post with linked archives covering everything from desktop themes to utility tool packs, followed by a couple of appreciative one-line replies from other members. It's a snapshot of the site's Warez culture — bulk file-sharing via RapidShare mirrors, casual shoutouts, and the low-key camaraderie of the give-away scene.

Woowww... great share! thanks as always kimmi :D— ap3x

hmm very nice upload i might actually get this.— fkngames

Kimmi's AIO Mega Dump Part 4 (Public Warez)

Part 4 of Kimmi's legendary AIO RapidShare dump — hacking packs, ISO managers, phone unlocks, and more, all in one topic.

Posted in the Public Warez subforum of the Red Light District by longtime staffer Kimmi (an [FkN] Super Moderator with over 8,000 posts), this was the fourth entry in a running series of massive 'All-In-One' software compilation dumps hosted on RapidShare. The topic strings together roughly a dozen themed AIO packs — Windows utilities, ISO managers, phone unlocking tools, audio/converter tools, Photoshop plugins, and a 'Hacking Pack' — each illustrated with a thumbnail and mirrored from user Mustafa2403's uploads. A moderator note shows dead links were later cleaned up, a small trace of the archive's ongoing curation. It captures the free-for-all file-sharing culture of the forum's Warez section circa 2009.

Dead Links Removed - nzindiboy— nzindiboy

Chris Crocker Rant Thread

"Leave Britney alone!" era outrage lands on fkn0wned's Rants & Raves board

A 2007 rant thread from Supervisor member Shifty venting hatred toward viral internet figure Chris Crocker, riding the wave of his famous 'Leave Britney Alone' YouTube fame. The post links to Crocker's video and YouTube profile and escalates into over-the-top, hyperbolic insults typical of the forum's Rants and Raves section, where venting at things (not people) was the stated rule. A snapshot of mid-2000s internet culture reacting to one of its earliest viral meme figures.

attention seeking mother fucker who I would happily stand on if I saw him— Shifty

Phew feel better now.— Shifty

Ventrilo Flood Thread Hijacked by Mod's 'im gay' Joke

A Ventrilo flood thread that got hijacked by a mod's fake coming-out joke — and mostly wiped for it

A short-lived thread in the 'Other Raging' subforum, ostensibly about a Ventrilo flood, was derailed when a moderator allegedly hijacked it by posting 'im gay' as a joke. Original poster miLLer called out fellow staffer 8-bit for the stunt and had the thread's contents deleted, leaving only a couple of confused follow-up replies referencing the original (now-missing) topic. A minor, very of-its-era bit of forum staff-on-staff ribbing and pettiness.

this thread has been deleted because one moderator thought he would be mega cool and write "im gay" and hijack my thread lol 8-bit— miLLer

you can come out the closet now. its gonna be ok.— miLLer

PopTart's Streaming Movie/TV Show Links List

The forum's go-to guy for free movies drops his running list of streaming sites.

A simple resource thread in the Warez > Movies subforum where longtime member and Smod PopTart, self-titled 'Warez King', posted a running list of free movie and TV streaming sites, inviting others to PM him additions to keep it updated. It's a small but telling snapshot of the site's Red Light District section, where warez-sharing was an open, sanctioned part of forum life alongside a shoutout to a public give-away event offering steam accounts and rapidshare prizes.

Got Any? PM Me so i can add them to the list.— PopTart

Public Give Aways! Give away section now open for everyone!!

Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Trailer Hype Thread

EA drops the BF3 multiplayer trailer and the crew starts pricing out new rigs on the spot

A July 2011 news post shares EA's newly released Battlefield 3 multiplayer trailer, noting its E3 award haul and the game's October 28 release with a September beta. The thread is short and casual, with members debating whether a flash at 0:45 was a laser sight or tracer round, gushing over the footage, and one member detailing a hefty PC upgrade (i5-2500k, GTX 570, SSD) just to be ready for it. Classic pre-release hype thread capturing the community's genuine excitement for a big-name shooter.

This video makes me wanna go suck a dick to get into that beta— [FkN] NIX

i went i5-2500k gtx570 8gig 120gb ssd for this game— [FkN] ProVocation

Rick Roll Script Bait Thread (CoD4)

A classic 2008 bait-and-switch: a promised 'Rick Roll script' for CoD4 servers, and everyone fell for it anyway

Tail end of a Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare thread where someone teased a script to Rick Roll people on servers, and a string of members hopped in hoping for the goods. It's mostly short reactions and a couple of newbies breaking their post-cherry to comment, only to realize they got played by the classic meme. Small, low-stakes thread but a nice snapshot of the 2008 Rickroll craze bleeding into the cheat/scripting scene.

A Rick Roll script? I gotta see this.— Takeover

unhiding, this better be rifk... lulz... that was worth wasting my 1st post on, i guss.— nuckfuts

The RapidShare Gripe Thread

A forum full of dial-up-scarred kids arguing about whose download speed sucked more.

A multi-page rant thread in Off-Topic's Rants and Raves section where members complained about RapidShare's limitations and pricing, comparing it to alternative file hosts. It devolves into a good-natured back-and-forth about everyone's actual internet speeds and ISP costs, with members from Toronto and Scotland chiming in on how bad their connections were. Pure late-2000s forum filler drama — no real conflict, just shared frustration over slow downloads and premium account costs.

rapidshare is definatly the fastest one around. but they have gotten excessivly greedy, there are very good alternatives— VulcanRaven

Toronto sucks shit, $50/m for this piece of shit— AKULA

My Wife's Attempt at Hacking Facebook

A member's wife swiped Facebook logins from a giveaway thread — just to grab free FarmTown loot

In this short Raging-board post, member neverl3ss recounts how his wife logged into his fkn0wned account, pulled Facebook credentials that had been posted in a public giveaway thread, and took over a stranger's account — mainly to farm FarmTown resources. The victim apparently posted publicly acknowledging he'd been hacked, which the OP found amusing enough to share with screenshots. Replies are lighthearted, joking about CIA/FBI tracking and asking if the wife is attractive, rather than any real concern. It's a small, jokey artifact of the era's casual attitude toward account 'hacking' via leaked info.

she added herself to these hacked account JUST so she could get free farmtown shit— neverl3ss

Maybe your wife works for CIA and you don't know it...like mr and mrs smith. IS your wife hot— Repulse

HUGE METAL, PUNK, and HARDROCK POST! \m/

One Fkn0wned member's mega-dump of a lifetime metal collection — Sabbath to Slayer to Sepultura, all in one post.

Posted in January 2008 by 'Mr. Brownstone' in the Red Light District's Music subforum, this was a sprawling megapost of Megaupload/Mediafire links to dozens upon dozens of albums spanning black metal, thrash, punk, hard rock, and classic rock. The list ran the gamut from Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Metallica to Burzum, Emperor, Cannibal Corpse, and Bad Religion, organized loosely by band with a 'use CTRL+F' note to help readers navigate the wall of text. It's a classic artifact of the pre-streaming era file-sharing culture that thrived on gaming/cheat forums like this one, where off-topic sections doubled as informal media libraries.

Not in alphebetical order . USE CTRL+F TO FIND THE BAND/CD YOUR ARE LOOKING FOR— Mr. Brownstone

The Leet World - CS:S Machinima Reality Show Thread

Someone found that Counter-Strike: Source reality-show parody everyone was passing around in '07 — full season dump inside.

A member named JimJim4 shares links and episode descriptions for 'The Leet World,' a Counter-Strike: Source machinima series parodying reality TV shows, complete with a trailer, all seven Season 1 episodes, download links, and the official site/MySpace. A couple of other members chime in briefly, one dismissively and one noting they'd like to try making a similar movie. Low-key thread, more of a link-share/recommendation than a discussion, typical of the Links/Humor subforum.

I don't like yuo. Some Scenes are funny. I like to make such a Movie too.— Keskin^

Shifty's DJ & Music Producer Essentials Mega-Thread

The cheat forum's resident 'r3birth?' banned user drops a mega-thread of DJ software and VST plugins instead of aimbots

A long-running mega-thread on Gametration's 'Red Light District > Software' subforum where user Shifty compiled and updated a running list of music production and DJ software (Virtual DJ, Native Instruments FM8, ReCycle, U-he Filterscape, iZotope Ozone, Anwida VST EQ packs) with detailed descriptions of each tool. It ran to at least 5 pages, showing the off-topic software-sharing side of a forum otherwise built around game cheats. Notably, the original poster's account is tagged 'Banned' and shows the joke title 'r3birth?', hinting at later drama or a rename/ban tied to this long-time member.

Here I will post the best apps for a Music Producer/DJ or anyone who is interested in that area.— Shifty

How to Make Ecstasy (MDMA) — Random Tuts

A 'Random Tuts' post that dared to tackle drug chemistry between the GFX Basement and Porn Paradise.

A short thread posted in the Off-Topic > Random Tuts subforum, purporting to be a tutorial on synthesizing MDMA. Posted by a long-time staff member with a colorful title ('Shotter, Hitter, Serial Killer'), it's typical of the anything-goes, edgy tutorial culture found in this corner of the forum alongside cheat guides and other how-tos. The surviving archive only preserves the title and opening line, with no visible follow-up discussion captured.

RS Premium Links Sharing Thread

Seven pages deep, members kept the RapidShare premium link train running for free.

A long-running thread in the Random Tuts subforum where members contributed and requested RapidShare premium account links or access, letting others download from RapidShare at premium speeds without paying. This archived page is near the tail end (page 7 of 7) of the thread, showing it had real staying power as a shared community resource. Typical of the era's file-hosting workaround culture on cheat/warez-adjacent forums.
