"Make Games Run 100% Better" FPS/Performance Guide

The old forum ritual: post an [hide] guide, watch the whole board reply "unhide" for karma points

A 2009 guide thread by member omfg2007 on the Counter-Strike: Source Guides board, offering a stack of PC optimization tools (Game Booster, GameGain, CCleaner, JkDefrag) plus a full CS:S autoexec/launch-option config claimed to boost FPS and stay 'CAL/Cevo legal'. The thread quickly turned into the classic hidden-content routine, with dozens of members posting one-word 'unhide'/'ty' replies just to reveal the spoilered content. One member called out that the recommended GameGain tool was flagging pirated serials and phoning home, and the OP later plugged his own guide as better than a rival's, tossing in a casual crack recommendation. Pure early cheat-scene/tech-help forum culture — low-effort bump replies, a competitive dig at another guide author, and shady freeware recommendations all in one thread.

[Guide] World Of Pwnage - CSS Guide by Hatred!

A hidden PDF, a wall of 'unhide' replies, and one classic fkn0wned time capsule from 2009.

A member named Hatred! posted a hidden-content thread in the Counter-Strike: Source Guides section, sharing a Rapidshare-hosted PDF claiming to offer tips for improving CSS gameplay. As was typical for [hide] tag threads on this forum, the replies are almost entirely low-effort posts ('ty', 'unhide', 'lets see') from members trying to unlock the hidden download link rather than genuine discussion. The thread ran at least 5 pages, with a mix of Members, VIPs, and several now-banned accounts (including the original poster) participating.

Changing Name Color! (CS:S console color codes)

A simple 'setinfo name' trick to make your CS:S handle glow yellow or green — cue the confused replies and console mishaps.

A quick guide posted in the Counter-Strike: Source Guides section explaining how to use console name color codes (via the 'setinfo name' command) to display your in-game name in colors like yellow or green. The thread is short and casual, with members thanking the OP, debating whether certain colors actually worked in-game, and a few asking to 'unhide' the hidden tutorial text. An admin even chimed in questioning whether the trick worked due to character display errors on his screen — a very typical low-stakes tech-tip thread for the forum's Guides board.

[Guide] Get good FPS *09* by ZoaQ

The classic 2009 FPS config dump that half the CS:S board just replied 'unhide' to

A June 2009 guide posted by long-time member ZoaQ in the Counter-Strike: Source Guides subforum, laying out Steam launch options and a hidden autoexec-style config full of console commands to strip visual fidelity for max framerate. The [hide] tag meant most replies are just members typing 'unhide,' 'ty,' or 'thanks' to unlock the content rather than real discussion. It's a snapshot of the era's tweak-config culture, with the post also plugging FkN0wned as 'not only a cheat site' and a sidebar ad for a private CSS hack seller.
