[DUMPERT] Epic clips written by Kimmi

A Smod's dump of early-2010s viral video links, rated funniest-first — Dutch internet humor at its finest.

A quick, low-effort General Discussion thread from February 2010 where longtime Smod Kimmi shared a batch of links to short viral clips hosted on the Dutch site Dumpert, ranking them by how 'epic' they were. It's the kind of filler thread every forum had — a couple people chime in, one clip gets singled out as the funniest, and the topic quietly dies after three posts. Notable mostly as a snapshot of the casual, meme-sharing side of the community outside the hacking/cheat talk.

Very short clips of epic things! Funniest first IMO.— Kimmi

Failure in January is funny as fuck LMAO— Mystik

Japanese humor is so.. LOL.— Kimmi

Points? — what the FkN forum points actually did

Turns out those forum points could once be cashed out for real PayPal money — until the shop mysteriously closed.

A member asks the classic newbie question: what are these forum 'points' actually for, and are they worth anything? Replies explain that points once functioned as a currency tied to a now-closed 'points shop,' where 1000 points reportedly converted to $10 PayPal cash, though nobody seems sure when (or if) it would reopen. It's a small, mundane thread, but a nice time capsule of the site's old economy/reward system and the shrug-emoji uncertainty typical of forum admin follow-through.

basically there was a time where the fkn points shop was open and 1000 points was worth 10$ credited to your paypal. the shop is closed atm but i think it is scheduled to be re-opened soetime— jonneh28

money!— adriandvinsk

[YT] In Soviet Russia, cars test you

A random dashcam-crash clip gets a handful of laughs and a stray compliment on someone's avatar

A quick, low-effort thread in General Discussion where user ProVocation dropped a YouTube link to a wild Russian car-crash/dashcam-style video. A handful of regulars piled in with one-line reactions, laughing at the footage, with nullvoid derailing briefly to compliment ProVocation's avatar. Nothing deep here — just a snapshot of the forum's casual, meme-sharing everyday chatter between the site's 1K Club regulars.

LMFAO i laughed so hard at this, it looks like hes on an airplane fighting some major G forces p.s your avatar is so sexy— nullvoid

LMAO guy gets thrown around like a toy haha— trs

The EpicGamerz Affiliate Pitch That Nobody Wanted

A brand-new member wandered in asking for an affiliate swap — and got roasted for a dead link within two hours.

A one-post member calling themselves 'EpicGamerz' showed up promoting a similar site and proposing a forum affiliation with a VIP-access exchange. The link was immediately reported dead by regulars, who suggested going through the moderators instead. One long-time member called out the poster for repeatedly recreating their forums, seemingly a recurring annoyance. It's a small, forgettable thread that captures the everyday texture of forum life: outside sites constantly angling for cross-promotion, and the regulars' low patience for it.

dead link...— Marc347

dude no offence....but you keep redoing the forums. It's annoying.— -Darkness-

A staffer publicly wished for 'a good hacker' to go mess up a rival site — thread got closed same day for 'failing'

A short-lived General Discussion thread where a Fkn0wned staff member ('Industry') vented about a rival site (referred to as 'mpc') whose members allegedly came into Fkn0wned trying to act '1337' and spam, only to flop. He floated the idea of someone retaliating against the site, half-jokingly asking where a 'good hacker' was when you needed one. A Supervisor ('Don Ruski') replied, but the thread was shut down by a moderator that same day with the note 'Thread Failed,' cutting the drama short before it could develop.

why doesn't someone just go mess that site up already...they are getting kinda aggravating.— Industry

where is a good hacker when you need one?— Industry

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

End of 2009 Recap Thread

FkN0wned members look back on 2009 — and it goes about as well as you'd expect.

A year-end nostalgia/recap thread started by mod PopTart asking members to reflect on notable events of 2009, name-checking Obama's election and Michael Jackson's death. Replies quickly veer into crude, racially charged jokes and casual forum-culture references (site drama, a purge of members, forum changes, and the death of a member named NIX). Fewer than five replies total, but it's a small time-capsule of the forum's blunt, unmoderated tone circa late 2009.

Somme wigga jew lied that he had a threesome. A new tC was created Massive banning from the fkns site A great update No more warez on teh main forum...— NIX

O i forgot, NIX died....— deX-

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

WHATS THEASE? - random image confusion thread

A guy posts a mystery screenshot, gets clowned, thread gets closed with a shrug: "fixed"

A member named Killer-k posted an image asking what it was, seemingly a display or forum-formatting issue rather than an actual question about content. Jack Daniels jumped in with typical fkn0wned brand of hostility, calling it a stupid thread while identifying the image as rapidshare account listings, before Co-Manager DCLXVI stepped in to correct him and point Killer-k toward the 'Standard' display option to fix his viewing issue. The thread was closed by staff shortly after with the terse reason 'fixed'.

rapidshare accounts. and quit making stupid threads you moron.— Jack Daniels

Jack Daniels, watch it, you didn't actually look properly to see his problem.— DCLXVI

A Reintroduction - Old CS 1.6 Coder Resurfaces

A former cheat coder from the original fkn0wned crawls back out of the woodwork in late 2007

A member going by FataLFx, who claimed to have coded Counter-Strike 1.6 cheats back during the very first incarnation of fkn0wned and the original cheat-network, pops back into the forum after finding the site still alive. He muses about picking coding back up for Source instead of 1.6, and notes that hardly any familiar faces remain. A handful of regulars (mr.N0Nam3, sorbazz, waLLa) welcome him back with the kind of dry, jokey greeting typical of the board.

Welcome <back> to hell.— mr.N0Nam3

you joined a year ago? is it that long ago really? anyway welcome back!!!!!1111one— sorbazz

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

:( - a quiet check-in thread

An old member pops back in just to say hi, and the forum's own decline becomes the real topic.

A returning member named nullvoid drops a low-key 'hey, haven't been around' post after a long absence, mostly just checking on the state of the forum. A handful of members, including staff, reply with friendly greetings, but the thread quietly doubles as evidence of the community thinning out, with a mod openly admitting they need more active members. It's a small, unremarkable thread on its face, but it captures that late-era forum feeling of familiar faces trickling back to find the place emptier than they left it.

been a long time since ive visited the computer lol.. been workin alot.. and just wanted to see how the forum is doing.. hi— nullvoid

Hey man, glad to see you here. We need more active members.— Panda

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

fkn0wned Friend

Who was your fkn0wned bestie? Members reminisce about the buddies they made on the boards.

A casual General Discussion thread from December 2007 where a member asked others to name the person on the forum they'd connected with most, whether an old friend or a recent one. Replies were short and personal, with regulars naming specific usernames as their 'fknbuddy.' It's a small, sentimental slice of community bonding rather than any drama or tech talk.

fknbuddy sounds funny...hahah....anyway i gotta say 2 because i didnt really plan on making "friends" peski ri0t dont know if they feel the same about me...— Industry

tux over the past month.— NoNamE!

SCAM ALERT: Misterfopje Banned Over PayPal Scam

The day a live-support staffer got caught scamming a member out of $100 — and fkn0wned's founder had to publicly clean it up.

Founder TuxifieD posted a public warning that a member/staffer going by Misterfopje (real name given as John Fopj) had scammed at least one member out of $100 USD via PayPal through the site's live support channel. Anyone who'd sent money to him or his email was told to come forward for a refund, and the community was reassured that only Jason A. should be trusted for non-CCBill payments going forward. The thread closes with an update that the funds were fully recovered, a small win for site trust in the cheat-scene marketplace era. Smod ZoaQ chimed in shortly after, showing staff closing ranks quickly on the issue.

This guy has scammed you and is removed from live support and fkn0wned.— TuxifieD

Update: We were able to recover the users funds completely.— TuxifieD

Online Clothing Stores? — cheap/replica gear thread

Forum tries to solve New Year's Eve outfit shopping with a side of knockoff fashion links

A member named inSpired asks the General Discussion crowd for cheap online clothing sites (openly fine with replica/wholesale knockoffs) ahead of New Year's, listing a handful of legit and fake-fashion sites he'd already found. A few regulars chime in with their own go-to stores like Jackthreads, CCS, Karmaloop, Costco, and Drjays, but inSpired shoots most of them down for not being cheap or shipping worldwide. It's a small, mundane slice-of-life thread — no drama, just late-2009 forum members talking about where to buy clothes.

Really don't care about the kids in the work-shops!— inSpired

None of those sites were cheap, or shipped world-wide.— inSpired

Pheroline: Spray-On Pheromones, Real or Scam?

A 2008 thread asking the internet's most trusted authority — a CS 1.6 forum — whether pheromone spray actually works

User aznfirez floats the idea of buying 'Pheroline,' a spray-on pheromone product, half-joking about wanting an easy shortcut to attracting people. A couple of members chime in with mild amusement, including zm0ney noticing a testimonial supposedly from someone in his own hometown, which gets flagged as funny/suspicious. A tiny, low-effort but charmingly random slice of early 2000s internet snake-oil skepticism.

lmao i would buy it.— KZA

"I used to have a problem getting dates. Thanks to Pheroline, now my only problem is scheduling." - Rob, Rochester, NY Haha That was one of the testomonials and i live in rochester— zm0ney

So how long has everyone been a member here?

A simple poll thread turns into a snapshot of who'd stuck around fkn0wned for years

A casual General Discussion poll thread from April 2009 asking members how long they'd been part of Fkn0wned.com, with options ranging from 'less than a month' to '2+ years'. Longtime members like EuphoricMurder, ZoaQ, and misterfopje checked in, mostly noting multi-year tenures despite being light posters who mainly lurked to see what the community offered. It's a low-key, nostalgic 'roll call' thread rather than anything dramatic — just members marking time on the site.

just seen ive been here for 2 yrs now ^.^ lol im not much of a poster i just enjoy seeing what the community has to offer— EuphoricMurder

2 Years But never rly used the site as a forum before now— ZoaQ

Would You Tap... Her, Her, Her or Her? (The Hills / Reality TV Poll)

Heidi, Lauren, Kristin or Kim — the Hills-era thirst poll that split the forum 45 votes deep.

A General Discussion poll thread from April 2009 asking members to rank/pick which reality-TV women (Heidi Montag, Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari, Kim Kardashian, and Real World's Jenn Grijalva) they'd choose, tied to a 'Season 3' theme. It's a classic low-stakes off-topic time-waster typical of the era, loaded with hotlinked celeb photos and quick one-line replies ranking the options. Kristin Cavallari and Heidi Montag led the poll, with Kim Kardashian getting a shoutout for actually being a grown woman rather than a reality-show teen.

Kim, cause thats a women.— KZA

Eat flowers bitch!— Puree

bat to exe

A quick tool request closed out in under two hours flat — solved for jesus.

A short, mundane General Discussion thread on Fkn0wned.com where a member named CratycloS asked for a link to a tool that converts .bat files into .exe files, recalling having seen it posted somewhere on the site before. Fellow member hunterbrute224 quickly replied, recalling he'd released the tool himself years earlier bundled with an icon pack, and dug up the old filefront links (even noting it was sitting in his own forum signature the whole time). A moderator closed the thread almost immediately with the classic tagline 'solved for jesus,' typical of how fast small requests got resolved on this board.

Yeah I released it with a pack of Icons. It got lost in history LOL, Ill get you the link though.— hunterbrute224

solved for jesus— mr.N0Nam3

Vent Information!

Staff drop the official Fkn0wned Ventrilo server details — then quietly side-eye someone bragging about a rival private vent

A short, purely administrative thread from December 2009 where forum smod SNK posted the official connection details for the community's Ventrilo voice server, offering staff help to anyone having trouble connecting. Fellow smod ap3x chipped in a beginner's setup tutorial link. The most notable moment is a little aside where member JUSTiiNCREDiiBLE admits the official vent was usually empty and that he'd been hanging out on a separate 100-slot private vent with other fkn0wned people instead, prompting ap3x to pointedly ask whose server that actually was.

So now i just chill with people from fkn on some 100 slot private vent server xD— JUSTiiNCREDiiBLE

And whose vent might that be?— ap3x

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

What's your favorite Firefox Extension?

A quaint 2009 chat about browser add-ons, before the forum's cheat-scene chaos took over

A short, laid-back General Discussion thread from December 2009 where forum members shared their favorite Firefox extensions. Smod ap3x kicked it off by naming GreaseMonkey/Userscripts, with a couple of others chiming in agreement or admitting they forgot the name of a YouTube downloader extension. A calm, everyday slice-of-life thread typical of the forum's off-topic chatter, sitting alongside the site's usual CSS-hack advertisements.

There's a ton of them, just wanna know what you guys use. Mine by far is GreaseMonkey/Userscripts— ap3x

The one that lets you download youtube videos easily... I forgot its name =/— pheonixinwater

Will The Pirate Bay.org Survive?

2009: the day fkn0wned collectively held its breath for The Pirate Bay's verdict.

A thread from General Discussion started the day before the real-world Pirate Bay trial verdict, with the OP asking members what they thought would happen to the torrent site. Replies are nostalgic and half-joking, with members reminiscing about TPB being their first torrent site and vowing loyalty ('t-shirt') even if it got shut down. It's a small time-capsule of the community reacting to actual internet-culture news of the era rather than forum-internal drama.

OMG, I hope it doesn't get shut down. If it does, I'll still wear my TPB t-shirt.— OmfgzATree

aww noo i love tpb.. it was the first torrent site i used.. I HAVE MEMORIES THERE— eskimo123321

Songs That Pump U Up

A 2007 lacrosse player asks fkn0wned for hype music and gets the forum's questionable taste in rock, metal, and techno.

A member named mako_x23 kicks off a casual thread asking fellow forum-goers for pump-up songs ahead of his indoor lacrosse season, requesting rock, heavy metal, or techno recommendations. Staff member Industry chimes in with a quirky suggestion ('Skatman'), and another member, Famousss, joins the conversation. It's a small, laid-back Off-Topic thread typical of early forum culture — sports hype meets music talk with a dash of humor.

songs that you listen to to get pumped up before games...im lookin for stuf thats like mainly rock/heavy metal or techno...— mako_x23

skatman, by skatman its got a good beat and its good for running— Industry

Whoever has the iPhone/iTouch - jailbreak chatter

Back when 'jailbreaking' your iPhone meant NES games and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, not app stores.

A short 2007 thread in General Discussion where a member (posting under a since-banned account) shares links for jailbreaking the original iPhone/iTouch, describing it as safer than modding a PSP since a bad flash could just be undone via iTunes restore. Another member chimes in excitedly, listing off all the emulators, apps, and games they got running on their jailbroken device. Thread is marked as 'Graved' (closed) by moderator Janza, a common fate for old threads on this board.

It is so awesome! Although I do not own either, I experienced the hacked iphone today at my cousin's house.— Renegade.MB

i allready got it haha i love it i got mike tyson punch out for NES and super mario and Apollo, Colloquy, Lights off, zune 2, tetromino, TAP TAP REVOLUTION!!!!!! WOOT— euphoria

What happened at your Superbowl?

Chips, dip, and dial-up nostalgia: fkn0wned members recap their 2008 Super Bowl Sundays

A casual Off-Topic thread from February 2008 where staff member Nerf asks the community how they spent Super Bowl Sunday — food, company, and setup. Replies are low-key and mundane in the best way: solo snack sessions in front of the TV, a pizza night with a girlfriend, and other members chiming in on their low-stakes evenings. It's a small slice of everyday forum life outside the usual cheat/gaming talk, showing the community's more personal, hangout side.

I watched it up stairs on my T.V with a huge ass bag of chips and a shit load of salsa dip and other shit lol.— Nerf

lol just me and my GF watched it plus we ordered a pizza and had some coke— DarkHour

TheTorrentSource anyone?

One member's got invites to a small, fast-growing private tracker — cue the usual scramble.

A General Discussion thread from April 2009 where user spaztaz666 mentions being part of a private torrent tracker called TheTorrentSource, praising its download speeds and offering a couple of leftover invites. A few regulars, including OmfgzATree and misterfopje, chime in with quick interest. Fairly typical low-key forum chatter about niche private trackers rather than anything dramatic.

Still quite small but growing, been with them most of the time and since only cetina people can upload the speeds are very nice.— spaztaz666

Hmm, I'll check it out.— OmfgzATree

New York Giants.

A brand-new member's very first post was pure Super Bowl XLII gloating — and it got the thread closed same day.

A fresh sign-up with the handle 'NYGiants' posted a one-line victory lap after the New York Giants' Super Bowl 42 win, joined the same day. A regular member razzed the obvious username, and the thread was locked shortly after by staff. Barely a blip, but a tiny time capsule of February 2008 sports chatter on an otherwise gaming/cheat-focused board.

SUPERBOWL 42! CHAMPIONS.... WooooO!— NYGiants

Nice name.— MONST3R

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

Post your Gamertag

The thread where old-school Xfire handles got dropped like modern-day gamertag exchanges

A simple General Discussion thread on Gametration/Fkn0wned where members shared their Xfire usernames (the era's go-to gamer messaging/status service) to connect outside the forum. Early replies came from regulars pato, Eckos, and Shifty, with the usual mix of banned and active members chiming in. A low-key, functional thread typical of mid-2000s gaming forums building community outside the board itself.

Post yours today!— pato

Look in my sig.— Eckos

Can Someone Name Me This Song, Please? :P

A guy posts an unidentified mp3, gets side-eyed for low post count, mystery solved in under half an hour.

A low-key General Discussion thread from December 2009 where a member (mcm) asked the community to identify a song used in a CSS plugin, linking a Mediafire mp3. A [FkN] Crew member briefly cast suspicion on the file due to the poster's low post count, but another member vouched for him and correctly identified the track as DMX ft. Swizz Beatz's 'Get It On the Floor.' The thread was closed minutes after being solved — a tiny, everyday snapshot of the forum's social dynamics and trust culture around file links.

No one is going to dl an mp3 file from someone with that few of posts IMO.— vermiLLion

Nah he cool lol. I know that song i just can't name it omg. I got it Get it on the floor DMX ft. Swizz Beats— majrbrawl

I HAVE A GOOD IDEA

One guy's all-caps GFX section pitch got shut down in two replies flat

A short-lived January 2008 suggestion thread where member Killer-k proposed a dedicated GFX request section requiring 50 posts to access, typed entirely in caps. Jack Daniels shot it down almost immediately, pointing out a suggestions section already existed and razzing him for the caps-lock energy. The thread was closed by staff a few months later, a tiny relic of the forum's endless suggestion-box churn.

I HAVE A IDEA WHY DON'T MAKE IN GFX SECTION FOR REQUESTS NEED 50 POSTS TO POST!— Killer-k

i think its already been done and theres a suggestions section and why all caps? chill out man— Jack Daniels

IPB Question

A member asks where fkn0wned got its slick forum skin — and gets a name-drop that survives to this day.

A regular member asks in General Discussion whether anyone knows good IPB (Invision Power Board) stylesheets, praising the site's design and asking for links. A staff member ('Arcade') replies simply to search Google for IPB templates and credits the site's design to a crew member known as Niggorex. It's a short, mundane housekeeping-style thread rather than drama, but it preserves a small piece of forum lore about who built the site's look.

Does anyone know any good style sheets for IPB. Just wondering because I know this site is graphically godly.— googlu

This site was made by Niggorex of the crew.— Arcade

NERF IS TOPIC

A staff member's birthday spam thread that got instantly closed for being, well, spam.

A short-lived thread started by staff member Nerf on his birthday, consisting of rambling, incoherent birthday-hype posts double-posted back to back. A moderator (NoNamE!) closed it the same day, labeling it 'another spam thread' — a mundane but classic snapshot of forum-mod housekeeping and off-topic chaos in early 2008.

Okay so itr'z my birthday we luvv zehh niggaz in da town nigga.— Nerf

another spam thread.— NoNamE!

Phishing [We get naked] — phisher swap thread

A mod openly shares a giant stash of fake-login pages for AOL, eBay, PayPal, Steam and more, asking members to trade more back.

In this General Discussion thread from March 2009, a site moderator ('FkN' Smod) announces he's 'starting phishing again' and posts a long list of phishing kits he's made for sites ranging from Steam, PayPal, and Skype to Habbo, Myspace, and even Megaupload, then solicits other members to contribute more. It's a blunt, almost casual snapshot of the era's cheat-scene culture, where account theft tools were traded openly like any other download. The reply that follows is just a brief acknowledgment, suggesting the thread likely continued across its six pages with more submissions.

Yeah, i'm gonna start phishing again, i'll phish any accounts/any website.— FkNwnedWasHere

And yes i managed to make a megaupload phisher!!!— FkNwnedWasHere

If Fkn0wned Had an iPod....

Two forum vets riff on what a Fkn0wned-branded iPod's playlist would sound like

A light off-topic thread in General Discussion imagining the site having its own iPod, likely with members listing bands or songs that would soundtrack it. This snippet catches the tail end (page 2) of the conversation, featuring posts from staff member Industry and GFX staffer Blaqk, both long-tenured members with high post counts. It's a low-stakes, community-bonding kind of thread typical of the forum's off-topic culture rather than anything dramatic.

Some call it noise, I call it addiction.— Blaqk

Kids Like Us- Meet Me at the Swingset / Set Your Goals- An Old Book Misread / The Devil Wears Prada- Swords, Dragons, and Deit Coke— Industry

Need a megaupload account

One guy asked for a Megaupload account and got instantly shut down by the mods — thread closed in under a minute.

A short-lived December 2009 thread in General Discussion where member Opti15 asked for someone to PM him a Megaupload account. Moderator PopTart (Warez King, [FkN] Smod) closed it almost immediately with an automated notice stating that General Discussion wasn't the place for such requests. A quick, mundane snapshot of forum housekeeping and the strict line between General Discussion and the site's dedicated warez/downloads sections.

I need a megaupload account, can anyone pm me one please..— Opti15

This topic has been closed by a moderator(me). Reason: " This isnt the place to ask for one "— PopTart

The Shit Hit the Fan... (Janza's Motherboard Meltdown)

Reformat gone wrong: a supervisor's gaming rig gets bricked and Dell won't help.

Forum supervisor Janza posts about a reformat that spiraled into a dead motherboard, discovered only after a Dell support chat. The complication: his warranty covers his family PC, not the gaming rig that actually broke, leaving him stuck trying to find a cheap replacement motherboard to limp along until his warranty situation improves. It's a classic off-topic tech-support-slash-venting thread, with staff member Industry chiming in early. Low drama, high relatability — the kind of everyday hardware crisis thread that filled the General Discussion board.

Not good. Did a reformat the other day, and I had to reinstall all my shit— Janza

they blatantly said that my Mobo has been buttfucked and I need a new one— Janza

What's the Most Illegal Thing You've Done?

Confession booth: forum's toughest criminals admit to... graffiti and pirated downloads.

A lighthearted General Discussion confessional thread where members were dared to share the most illegal thing they'd ever done. Thread starter OmfgzATree kicked things off with a tame admission of school graffiti, and early replies stayed similarly low-stakes, like illegal downloading. It's the kind of harmless bravado-bait thread common on gaming forums of the era, more about laughs and one-upping than any real wrongdoing.

The most illegal thing I've done is graffiti on the school wall LOL— OmfgzATree

Dam hardcore. Lol im a goodboy so its mostly like illegal downloading for me=]— cfman

HaSh's Polar Bear Science Report Contest

A Supervisor bribed the forum with a VAC-banned CS:S account to write his homework for him

A Supervisor named HaSh posted a mini-contest asking members to write his overdue school report on polar bears (climate, diet, endangerment, food chain) in under an hour, offering a VAC-banned Steam account with CS:S/HL2 as the prize. It's a classic slice of mid-2000s forum culture: staff using their position for favors, homework outsourced to strangers online, and a low-stakes 'prize' that was already worthless since the account was banned. Gospel replied almost immediately, though the thread capture cuts off before any actual reports appear.

Ok, so I need a report about POLAR BEARS !— HaSh

WINNAR WILL GET VAC BANNED STEAM ACC WITH CSS / HL2 N SHIT— HaSh

How can I play LAN?

A simple networking question turns into a classic forum 'figure it out yourself' moment.

A member named Marc347 asks for basic help setting up a LAN connection between two computers to play games together, without going through a router. Supervisor HaSh chimes in with terse, minimal replies, leading Marc347 to ask increasingly basic follow-up questions. It's a small, mundane tech-support thread typical of the forum's General Discussion section, cut short before a full answer is given.

Have both computers on the same network.— HaSh

Okay, how can I get both computers on one network?— Marc347

jChase's 'Hackers Manifesto' — First Draft

An admin's stream-of-consciousness essay on why he cheats, dropped straight into General Discussion.

jChase, an FkN admin, posted a personal essay explaining his path from a bored teenager who found purpose in Counter-Strike to co-founding a hacking site (ehcrew.com) with a friend. He reflects on how being labeled a 'hacker' erased memory of his legit skill, and ends on the defiant line that he cheats simply 'because I can.' He notes he wrote it in minutes as a reaction to another thread and planned to revise it later; the second post shows a Smod reply beginning to roll in.

You ask me why I hack And I look at you and quietly, confidently, I reply Because I can.— jChase

Once we became hackers, people forgot about the days where we would spank them with a deagle and a m4— jChase

NHL Matches Today - a little poker-account side bet

A member throws $50 of poker money at a slate of NHL games and asks the forum to play armchair oddsmaker.

A quick, low-stakes General Discussion thread from January 2008 where user sorbazz lays out two betting coupons on that day's NHL games, using leftover money on a poker account just for fun, and asks other members what they think of the picks. Only one reply comes in, from ijusk03du, mourning a Vancouver Canucks loss. It's a small, mundane slice of forum life outside the cheat/tech talk — sports chat and casual banter rather than anything gaming-scene related.

So I thought lets bet some on todays NHL matches just for fun— sorbazz

VANCOUVER LOST 4-3! Sooo sooo sad.... !! GO CANUCKS GO !!— ijusk03du

Today's Free Poker Tournament

Fkn0wned's founder ran a free 1v1 Texas Hold'em bracket over Vent, warns for no-shows included

Founder TuxifieD announced a free, no-prize 1-on-1 No Limit Texas Hold'em tournament run through PokerStars, requiring players to be logged into the site's Vent server to talk trash and coordinate matches. Entry was free with a hard registration cutoff, and missing your bracket match meant an actual disciplinary warn on your forum account, showing how seriously small side-events were policed. The thread is short, mostly logistics and one member (Cortez7) asking how to even find the tournament, a very typical low-key 'General Discussion' filler thread from the site's community-events side.

Entry Fee: FREE Prize: None— TuxifieD

And how exactly can I find the tournament?— Cortez7

help im new to the fourms thing

The classic newbie question: what the heck is 'hidden content' and why does everyone say 'unhide'?

A brand-new member named kawi44 asks how the forum works, confused by posts showing 'hidden content' and other users replying 'unhide.' Fellow member Dave2007 explains the forum's reply-to-reveal system used to gate content behind posts. It's a short, mundane but charmingly nostalgic exchange capturing the everyday culture of the forum's hidden-content mechanic and how newcomers were guided into it.

for some reason when some one posts content on the forums it always says "hidden content" and every-one all ways says "unhide" what does this mean plz tell im a total newb at this— kawi44

means you cant see whats in the post till you make a post, alot of people say unhide or thanks, put whatever you want in your post then you can see hidden content— Dave2007

Problem with popups

A Co-Manager's PC is drowning in Sky Poker and dating-site popups mid-gaming session — the forum diagnoses his malware woes.

A 2008 General Discussion thread where forum Co-Manager Shifty complains about a heavy popup infestation (gambling and dating ads) despite not using Internet Explorer, wondering if leftover IE components or spyware are to blame and asking for spyware-scanner recommendations. Fellow member Tobi chimes in suggesting an ad-blocking browser extension as a fix. It's a mundane, very of-its-era tech-support thread capturing the mid-2000s reality of unmanaged adware and toolbar bloat on Windows machines.

I'm getting a minimum of 10 popups when I have long gaming sessions and it often makes me lag because of all the traffic coming through behind my game.— Shifty

I recommend you getting adblock plus, for firefox.— Tobi

Color help

One member's quick color-code mystery, solved in two replies flat.

A short, low-key General Discussion thread from December 2007 where member Marc347 asked what various color model abbreviations (HSB, RGB, CMYK, Lab) stood for, likely while messing with graphics or image settings. PaRaNoID, a well-known '1000 Club' regular, filled in the missing letters, and Marc347 thanked him — thread closed in three posts. A tiny, mundane artifact of the forum's day-to-day helpfulness outside the cheat/tech drama.

Could someone tell me which each value stands for?— Marc347

b=brightness c=cyan m=magenta y=yellow k=key (black),— PaRaNoID

Advertise VIA Myspace for fkn0wned! GET TO SPAMMING!

The day fkn0wned's CEO handed out a MySpace mass-messaging tool and told the forum to go spam the site's name across the internet

CEO member TuxifieD posted a downloadable tool (with mirrors on Rapidshare, DepositFiles, and Easy-Share) meant for mass-posting fkn0wned links and images across MySpace profiles, advising members to use redirect links and off-domain image hosts to dodge MySpace's URL blocking. It's a classic self-promotion/growth-hacking thread typical of the era, with member blackxthink chiming in about the practical limits of only being able to spam friends' pages. A very 2007 snapshot of forum culture: informal, scrappy site marketing using whatever tools and workarounds were on hand.

remember that myspace will block a URL eventually so dont use the actual domain, use redirects and images hosted at random hosting places.— TuxifieD

This is hard to use , 'cause you need to spamm only your friend— blackxthink

Introduce Yourself Here! (General Discussion)

Every forum's rite of passage: the endless 'sup guys, I'm new here' thread that never really ends.

This was Fkn0wned.com's long-running welcome thread, where new members dropped their basic intro — name/alias, age, country, and a laundry list of games played — before diving into the rest of the forum. Post #401 shows a 16-year-old Singaporean member listing an impressive stack of mid-2000s games (Mu Online, WoW, CS, DotA, MapleSEA), while a staff member chimes in with a simple welcome. Classic low-stakes, high-volume community glue thread rather than drama or cheat talk.

Hey guys! sup hope u guys are enjoying this forum coz i will be staying here for a veri veri long time =D— Ryura

welcome all new peoples— miLLer
