Who will win da Superbowl today!?

Giants vs Patriots, forum-poll style — one guy just wanted a meteor to hit the stadium.

A casual Off-Topic poll/thread from Super Bowl Sunday, February 3, 2008, asking members to pick between the New York Giants and New England Patriots. The community poll was tight, with a chunk of voters just wishing disaster on both teams for laughs. This is page 2 of the thread, catching the tail end where staff members chime in with quick one-liners as the game wraps up.

Both of them suck...i hope a meteroid goes down in the staduim!!

Giants win— hunterbrute224

Whats everyone getting for christmas?

Old-school forum small talk: iPods, cash, and a day off from VAC bans.

A tail-end fragment of a long-running Christmas wish-list thread on Fkn0wned/Gametration's General Discussion board. Members casually listed what they hoped to get for the holidays, ranging from mundane gifts like clothes and money to a joking wish for a break from the world. Nothing dramatic here, just the ordinary chatter of a cheat-scene forum's community outside its usual VAC-dodging and hacking talk, showing the human, everyday side of the site.

I get a day off from the world if all goes well.— chaosabsolute

I getting an iPoD - Whatever. Clothes, Money and so on..— face

Donation Needed By Monday or Bye Bye :(

The day fkn0wned put out a tin cup because PayPal was holding its money hostage for six months.

Founder TuxifieD posted an urgent plea in General Discussion warning that the site would be shut down by Monday unless two $149 hosting invoices got paid. The catch: fkn0wned's PayPal account had been frozen/closed, with funds held for six months, leaving the crew unable to pay online bills normally. Member Ap3x quickly stepped up and covered one of the two invoices, and Tuxified offered 'recognition' to anyone else willing to help cover the rest. A classic small-forum survival moment — the site literally kept alive by member donations.

We have two invoices that need to be paid to keep fkn0wned online.— TuxifieD

It will be shut down by monday if these are not paid.— TuxifieD

What did you get for xmas? :)

Christmas 2012 on fkn0wned: presents, Far Cry 3, and one guy bragging about a $300/hr do-nothing job

A lighthearted holiday chat thread in General Discussion where members traded what they got for Christmas 2012. d0t1q jokes about coasting at work while gaming and getting paid handsomely for it, and InfectedKush jokingly begs for a job hookup. Casual, low-stakes banter typical of the forum's off-topic community threads, with signature banners and personal Skype/site links tucked into posts as was common at the time.

I sit on a computer all day doing no work probly playin cs:go or farcry 3 because its xmas and I dont actually have to work so i get paid tomorrow 300$/hr to play farcry— d0t1q

Fk me, get me a job brah! thx— InfectedKush

Need to locate a cell phone

A guy loses his LG Shine on the street and asks the forum's 'hackers and web freaks' to GPS-track it for him

A member named Psycho Chris posted in General Discussion asking if any of the site's self-styled 'hackers' or 'W3B FR34K5' knew how to locate a lost cell phone online after it slipped out of his pocket somewhere on the street. Regular KZA (a long-time [FkN] Uploader) asked whether the phone had GPS, and the thread trails off after Chris confirms it's an LG-Shine without internet. A small, mundane slice of forum life — everyday off-topic chatter rather than anything cheat- or drama-related.

Do any of you know how to locate a cell phone like through the web.— Psycho Chris

Does it have GPS?— KZA

Halpz - The Thread That Wasn't Allowed to Come Back

A noob begs for a dead thread's secrets to be revived — a mod slams the door shut in under ten minutes.

A brand-new member named justhacksplz posted a desperate plea for help recovering information from an old broken thread, even linking a screenshot as proof it once existed. Fkn0wned staffer lam3r closed it almost immediately, pointing out this was a duplicate repost of a thread already locked elsewhere on the forum. A quick, minor, but perfectly preserved snapshot of how tightly moderators policed repeat begging threads on the board.

I am desperate for this information! Thanks in advance :)— justhacksplz

You just reposted the thread i closed here— lam3r

Ctrl+V Game (General Discussion)

The classic 'paste whatever's in your clipboard' game, complete with an early Gangnam Style link and a random internal network hostname.

This was a lighthearted General Discussion thread where members played the old 'Ctrl+V' game — pasting whatever happened to be on their clipboard at that moment, no matter how random. Posts ranged from meaningless strings of text to a member dropping a YouTube link to 'Gangnam Style' back when it was freshly viral in mid-2012. Typical low-stakes, goofy filler thread from [FkN] crew members passing time between the site's cheat/hacking content.

Tell PETA my mink is dragging on the floor— d0t1q

GANGNAM STYLE!— DarkRood

assistance plz

A member's harmless JS 'popup prank' button sparks a two-line quest for the right forum home.

A short, low-key housekeeping thread from April 2008 where user slingblade asks where to post a JavaScript prank he'd tinkered with — a button that spawns an unclosable popup window. KZA, a longtime uploader, chimes in to clarify the prank's purpose and points toward the Links/Humor section. Nothing dramatic, just a small slice of everyday forum traffic and community wayfinding.

i was wanting to post on here a prank i found when poking around in javascript— slingblade

Well what do you mean. like just so people can click it and laugh? if so links/humor.— KZA

General Discussion Rules

The rules post every regular skipped past on the way to actually causing trouble

A pinned staff post from Smod Skippy laying out the ground rules for the General Discussion board on Fkn0wned.com — basic etiquette about not flaming, not spamming random threads, respecting staff, avoiding referral/free-stuff links, and using thread icons properly. It's the standard housekeeping post every forum needed, sitting alongside site-wide banners for a 'SOTW' screenshot-of-the-week contest and a Ventrilo server. Nothing dramatic here, just the quiet scaffolding that kept the board running.

Don't post referral links, links to "free game consoles, Ipods, domains etc."— Skippy

Does this belong here?— Skippy

Fkn0wned Userbars

A slow afternoon, a graphics program, and a full set of forum rank userbars nobody asked for

Co-Manager Shifty knocked out a batch of custom userbars for the site — covering ranks and roles like User, 1K Club, Rager, Retired Staff, Coder, GFX Crew, Crew, SMod, Admin, and Head Admin — and shared them for members to grab and slap into their signatures. It's a casual, low-key housekeeping post rather than a big event, with a quick self-deprecating edit admitting the Graphics Crew bar got forgotten and couldn't be fixed since the source file was gone. A nice little snapshot of the site's rank/status culture and its DIY graphics scene.

It's 3pm and I have nothing to do, so I cooked up some userbars ^^— Shifty

OMG I FORGOT GRAPHICS CREW AND I DON'T HAVE THE PSD TO EDIT THEM!! SORRY GUYS— Shifty

People Getting Banned, Solution

A guy tries to advertise his own site as the "solution" to bans — gets called a faggot in reply, thread dies on the spot.

A short-lived thread in General Discussion where user swat0880 posted what was billed as a 'solution' to people getting banned, but it turned out to just be a thinly-veiled ad for an outside site (GameConn.net) promising hacks, cheats, and a $50,000 prize giveaway for reaching a post count. The only reply, from Zunder, torched the thread with a one-line insult calling out the transparent advertisement. Classic fkn0wned energy: a bait title, a spam post, and instant community pushback.

Nice fucking solution you faggot.— Zunder

Official FkN TF2 Server 20-Man Recruitment Post

FkN goes legit: staff pitch a 'no hacking allowed' TF2 server and hunts for CAL/Highlander talent

A staff member named Nerf advertised the community's own Team Fortress 2 server, hosted in Tampa, Florida, as a fast-respawn 20-man box running regular and custom maps. The post doubles as recruitment for the upcoming CAL/Highlander competitive season and for dedicated server admins, with a public Ventrilo channel offered as the hangout spot. Notably, for a forum built around cheat databases and cheat culture, this post insists the server is '100% legit' with permanent bans (including for texture hacks) for anyone caught cheating.

100% LEGIT SERVER IF YOU ARE CAUGHT HACKING YOU WILL BE PERMA-BANNED (INCLUDES TEXTURES.)— Nerf

I just know and you dont.— Nerf

5 Demonoid Invites, 2 Accounts

A member handed out rare Demonoid invites to the General Discussion crowd back in '09

A quick giveaway thread from April 2009 where member jab2000 offered up Demonoid invite codes for two accounts to fellow forum members. Demonoid was a heavily invite-gated private torrent tracker at the time, so invites were considered a small prize among file-sharing and warez-adjacent crowds. The thread got a couple of quick replies from regulars NIX (of the Warez Crew) and ZoaQ (of the Graphics Crew), typical of the fast, low-effort exchanges common in General Discussion giveaway threads.

ty— NIX

Whats Hot and Whats Not

A classic forum time-waster: post your 'hot' vs 'not' pics and let the roasting begin.

A lighthearted, low-effort thread in General Discussion where members posted contrasting images labeled 'hot' and 'not' as a bit of forum banter. Started by jonneh28 with a simple prompt, it drew a couple of quick replies from regulars before fizzling out after three posts. Pretty representative of the throwaway, casual off-topic chatter that filled the General boards between the gaming and cheat-scene talk.

Basically, post a picture of a female that is hot for you and post a picture of what isnt hot for you.— jonneh28

Why am i in ZoaQs Sig?

Dude finds himself randomly immortalized in someone else's forum signature

A member named JamehGould discovers he's featured in ZoaQ's forum signature and starts a lighthearted thread asking why, expressing amused pride at the random shoutout. The thread quickly pivots into a filler discussion about favorite CS 1.6/CSS maps, a classic case of a low-stakes curiosity post turning into general chit-chat. ZoaQ, a member of the site's Graphics Crew, replies but the exchange stays casual and inconsequential — pure early-forum small talk.

I just clicked it because it had a link etc.. And it was Me. Gawd, i feel proud.— JamehGould

rs.com problem?

One guy just wants to know why RuneScape won't load, and the forum shrugs with him.

A short, low-key General Discussion thread from December 2007 where staff member miLLer reports getting network errors and timeouts trying to reach rs.com, asking if anyone else was having the same issue. Supervisor Janza replies but the visible content cuts off before any resolution. It's a mundane slice-of-forum-life post, the kind of small everyday chatter that filled out the Off-Topic board between the site's cheat-scene business.

anyone else getting this message? seems to happen all the time -.- or else it times out.— miLLer

pwnt?

A one-word thread title, a page of inside jokes, and the old regulars just shooting the breeze in General Discussion.

A short, casual Off-Topic thread from Fkn0wned.com's General Discussion board, running at least two pages by February 2008. The visible tail end shows staff members Shifty and NoNamE trading quick back-and-forth replies typical of the forum's laid-back banter threads. Little substantive content survives beyond brief one-liners, capturing the low-stakes, community-glue nature of these Off-Topic exchanges rather than any cheat or tech discussion.

you love it.— Shifty

The Official Vote Thread

Two clicks a day, twelve hours apart — the daily ritual to keep Fkn0wned on top.

A staff-posted call-to-action asking members to vote for the Fkn0wned.com site on external top-site listing services, twice daily, to help the forum regain its ranking. Co-Manager Shifty kicked it off with links and a friendly appeal, and Supervisor Don Ruski chimed in shortly after. It's a small but classic piece of forum-community upkeep from the site's competitive top-sites era.

Help Fkn regain their top spots.— Shifty

Domain Name Brainstorm Thread

One member's hunt for the perfect PTC-advertising domain name, rep points on offer for good ideas

A banned member named Kproz opened this General Discussion thread asking for help brainstorming a domain name for a pay-to-click advertising site he planned to launch, aimed at European and American users, with hopes of expanding it later. He offered reputation points to anyone who pitched in suggestions. Forum regular ri0t replied early on, though the surviving text cuts off before showing what was suggested.

everyone who tries gets one rep!— Kproz

Scamming Steam Accounts - Question Thread

A scammer asks if Steam will actually catch him — and the forum weighs in.

A member going by 'Lord Ragealot' opens a thread in General Discussion asking whether rumors were true that Steam actively hunts down account scammers and strips them of every account they'd ever taken. He seems mostly worried about losing his own scammed accounts rather than any ethical concern. The thread drew a quick reply from 'Olie22' before getting cut off in the archive. It's a small window into the casual, transactional attitude toward account scamming that was common on cheat-scene forums of that era.

I don't wanna lose my accounts when I go scamming now :S— LoRd Ragealot

Post your cool black guy...

A 2008 meme thread where the Off-Topic regulars just dumped their favorite 'cool black guy' images, Deebo included

A lighthearted image-dump thread in the General Discussion board where members posted pictures/memes of 'cool black guy' characters, kicked off by co-manager Shifty with a Deebo image from Friday movie fame. Typical early-2000s forum humor thread with low effort, high nostalgia value, and staff members participating alongside regulars. Nothing dramatic, just classic off-topic filler content typical of the era's imageboard-adjacent culture.

I'll start: Deebo r legend.— Shifty

"Isn't this the ugliest fat fucker in the world?"

A random ugly-picture callout thread that fizzled out after two posts.

A low-effort General Discussion post from December 2007 where user MicroUltra shared a photobucket image mocking someone's appearance, joking it belonged on a shock site. A Supervisor, mr.N0Nam3, replied almost immediately, but the thread as archived cuts off with barely any conversation. Typical filler/shitpost content of the era's off-topic board, the kind of thread that existed just to kill time between cheat releases.

In my opinion this should be in a shock site lmao.— MicroUltra

Vent - Get in the Voice Chat

A supervisor begs the dying community to actually use its own voice server.

A short, low-key thread in General Discussion where a Supervisor named Bucketface calls out how quiet the forum's Ventrilo voice server had become, half-jokingly threatening to end it all over the inactivity. A Staff Member, hunterbrute224, chimes in shortly after. It's a small, mundane snapshot of community upkeep rather than any major event — the kind of low-stakes 'hey come hang out' post typical of forum downtime.

People get in the vent. It's so inactive i think I might kill myself.— Bucketface

Official Xbox 360 Gamertag Thread

Old-school Fkn0wned members swap Xbox 360 gamertags and flex their MyGamerCard stats.

A General Discussion thread from November 2008 where forum mod Kimmi invites members to post their Xbox 360 gamertags, recommending MyGamerCard.net for generating embeddable gamercard images. It's a simple community bonding thread with a light rule attached: posts without a gamertag get deleted or warned. Smod Afteryou is among the first to reply, capturing the casual, gaming-community feel of the site outside its cheat-database focus.

Posts without a gamertag will get deleted/warned!— Kimmi

IRC Server Down (Dec 2007)

The old fkn0wned IRC channel goes dark — anyone else locked out?

A short General Discussion post from a longtime member ('1000 Club' rank) asking whether the site's IRC server was down, since he'd been unable to connect for several days. A small, quiet slice of forum life showing how the community relied on IRC alongside the forum itself, and how outages got flagged by regulars.

Is it just me or has the fkn IRC been down? I've not been able to connect to the server for a few days.— Scratch

The Things You Love

One of fkn0wned's cheat-scene regulars pauses the VAC-proof talk to list off his iPhone, guitar, and Coca-Cola.

A light, feel-good off-topic thread in Fkn0wned's General Discussion where members listed the small things that made them happy — this snippet catches page 5 of a long-running list-style thread. Poster 'Archies' rattles off a simple top-8: his face, iPhone, computer, Coca Cola, guitar, music, friends, and family. It's a low-key, wholesome break from the site's usual cheat-database and rage-thread traffic, showing the softer, community side of a forum otherwise known for VAC-proof releases and scripting.

1. Mi Face 2. My Iphone 3. My Computer 4. Coca Cola :] 5. Guitar 6. My Music 7. My Friends 8. My Family— Archies

[Call] Template or Sistem

A one-post mystery: some guy named ruval just wanted to know what software ran a random gamer site's forum.

A brand-new member, ruval, dropped a single low-effort post in General Discussion asking whether a site called algamers.net was running a custom system or a purchasable web template, hoping someone in the community could identify it. The thread got zero replies and just sat there — a tiny, forgettable blip typical of the daily churn of newbie posts on a mid-2000s gaming/cheat forum. No drama, no big names, just one guy's post number one and a link nobody apparently followed up on.

I need to know that this system uses Web or where can I get such templates .. I want to know if anyone can help me— ruval

Whats your home page?

A staff member asks the eternal forum icebreaker: what's your browser's home page?

A low-key General Discussion thread from November 2007 started by a staff member ('Scratch') asking members what their browser home page was set to, with 'google.com' offered as the opener. It's a classic filler/small-talk thread typical of mid-2000s forum culture, meant to spark easy replies and keep the Off-Topic section ticking over rather than spark any real debate or drama.

Whats your current home page? mine: google.com— Scratch

Why Do You Come to FkN?

FkN regulars fess up: half came for the cheats, all of them stayed for the people.

A casual General Discussion thread asking members why they actually hang around FkN0wned. The one visible reply comes from silentr0ck, a Super Moderator from Mexico with nearly 4,000 posts, who jokes that he's there for the giveaway leeches and the porn section before admitting the real answer is the community itself. It's a small, self-aware slice of forum culture — the kind of lighthearted check-in thread that reveals what actually held these cheat-scene communities together.

Well really, I come here to leech giveaways and porn. OT: The community of course.— silentr0ck

where did (missing MSN cracker thread)

A member's thread about an MSN 'cracker' tool just... vanished, and he wanted to know why.

A short, half-finished thread from April 2008 in the General Discussion board where longtime member Famousss asks what happened to his earlier thread about an MSN password cracker. He posts once, gets no reply, then bumps his own post a few hours later. No resolution or explanation is captured on the page.

my thred go with the msn craker in?— Famousss

Realtek Mic Echo Help Thread

MostWanter's mic feedback loop turns a simple tech question into a tiny time capsule of CS:S troubleshooting.

A member named MostWanter posted a basic tech-support question in General Discussion about his Realtek HD Audio Manager causing an annoying feedback loop and echo when using voice chat in Counter-Strike: Source. He asked whether uninstalling the Realtek software would fix it. The post reads as a mundane, everyday tech-help request typical of gaming forums of the era, with no replies visible in the archived page.

when i say hello it repeats and says hello,hello,hello,and louder + sounds start up.— MostWanter

Tell Us About Yourself! - Gametration.com

The classic intro thread where every regular first said hello.

This was Gametration.com's introductory thread in the General Discussion section of the Off-Topic forum, where members posted basic info about themselves to break the ice with the community. Typical of early-2010s gaming/cheat forums, it served as a low-key social hub rather than a technical or drama-heavy thread. The archived page itself preserves mostly site navigation and forum category structure rather than actual member posts.

Describe the Person Above You With a Song

A whole page of members getting musically roasted (or celebrated) by whoever posted next.

A lighthearted forum game thread in General Discussion where members took turns picking a song to 'describe' the poster above them. Typical of the filler/fun threads that kept the community glued together between the cheat releases and drama, it ran long enough to stretch past a single page. No major controversy here, just old-school forum bonding and inside jokes.

Did you just flip me off?

A random offhand jab in General Discussion that somehow became its own thread.

A short General Discussion thread on the old Fkn0wned forum, seemingly sparked by a joking or confrontational one-liner tossed at another member. Typical of the board's casual banter culture, it likely spiraled into the usual mix of jokes, ribbing, and off-topic chatter rather than any serious dispute. No major drama or notable names survive in the extracted content, just a fragment of the forum's day-to-day back-and-forth.

What mic is tha best?

A totally ordinary 'which mic should I buy' thread from the depths of Gametration's General Discussion.

A run-of-the-mill Off-Topic thread on Gametration.com where a member asked for recommendations on the best microphone to buy, likely for gaming voice chat or streaming setups of the era. The archived page mostly preserves the site's navigation and forum structure rather than substantial discussion content. It's a small, everyday snapshot of the site's General Discussion board rather than anything dramatic or notable.
