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

Global Warming

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

Cannabis, Weed, Marijuana, Pot, Bud etc - Legal? Or Illegal?

Fkn0wned's resident CS 1.6 mods and 1-post wonders settle the war on drugs, 2008-style.

A 2008 Debating subforum thread kicked off by longtime member/moderator c0ke asking whether weed should be legal, weighing the appeal of legalization against how easily the black market could be exploited for profit. A handful of members chimed in with typical forum-philosopher takes on regulation, dealers moving to harder drugs, UK drug classification law, and anecdotal claims about weed and mental health. Fairly low-traffic but earnest thread, capturing the classic early internet forum pastime of teenagers debating drug policy in the off-topic section.

I think that bud should be legalized but at the same time I don't because of how exploitable the black market for it is.— c0ke

It'd be more helpfull if it was legalised, even though i can't see it happening. And dealer's would have to move onto Harder drugs.— Geist

Moving should be made illegal but possession and use should be made LEGAL.— zumzum1

Oh, behave! — the staff-conduct manifesto

A manager drops a truck-driver analogy to explain why your admin got demoted for acting like a normal member.

A Manager-ranked staffer named tKeR posts a long lecture aimed at the community following a wave of staff demotions and kicks, addressing members who reacted with drama and flaming instead of accepting the decisions gracefully. The post lays out an expectation that promoted staff (Manager, Supervisor, Administrator) should behave with more restraint and responsibility than regular members, using a 'truck driver promoted to boss' analogy to make the point. It reads as a public justification/warning about staff standards rather than a genuine open debate, posted in the Debating subforum with only one early reply from Sonikk visible.

TAKE IT LIKE A MAN.— tKeR

fkn0wned isn't gonna give you these colorful names just so you can act the same, we expect you to act like that positon— tKeR

Don't give me excuses on how you can't do something.— tKeR

Parallel Universe? - Debating Thread

Old-school forum philosophers speculate on parallel universes between classes and Xfire pings.

A laid-back Off-Topic/Debating thread on Fkn0wned.com where members mused about the existence of parallel universes. Staff members hunterbrute224 and Industry chime in with brief, casual takes, with hunterbrute224 cutting the discussion short to head to school. The vibe is typical mid-2000s forum philosophizing—low-effort but earnest musings between regulars rather than a heated debate.

I think there are it explains a lot about what we dont know if you think about it. Gotta go to school so I cant elaborate on any of this...— hunterbrute224
