Fkn0wned.Com - General Discussion (Off-Topic Board Index)

78 pages of car crashes, Christmas cheer, and a thread simply titled 'NIGGERS' — welcome to old Fkn0wned's Off-Topic

This is a board index page for the General Discussion sub-forum under Off-Topic, dated right around New Year's 2008 based on the timestamps. It captures the classic mid-2000s cheat-scene forum sprawl: staff announcements about site rules/FAQ and 'Help Fkn0wned' donation drives sit above a chaotic mix of everyday member chatter — introduce-yourself threads, desktop/setup pic threads, a member sharing a serious car accident story, gaming debates (BF2 vs CoD4), tech help requests, and a fair amount of edgy/off-color thread titles typical of the era. The page also shows the site's later evolution into an IPB 3.0 forum with a Movies/warez release sub-board flooded with duckbutta and joeymes DVDRip postings, hinting at the site's drift toward general warez/leech culture after its cheat-scene roots.

Help get Fkn0wned back on top!— [Co-Manager] Shifty

gee doesn't this like rather familiar.— [Supervisor] mr.N0Nam3

Dear Fkn Community (And Industry...hoe) — Traitor's Farewell-For-a-Few-Days Post

Member's PC dies, announces a two-day 'goodbye' to the forum, community reacts with a collective shrug.

A member going by 'Traitor' posted a dramatic-sounding farewell titled after computer troubles, explaining he'd be offline briefly while reformatting his PC and hunting down an old Windows XP disc. The tone was self-aware and joking rather than an actual departure, but the grand title didn't match the mundane reason, prompting a blunt 'so?' from a Supervisor. The thread is a tiny slice of everyday General Discussion chatter typical of the board — low stakes, lots of inside humor, and staff keeping a tight, no-nonsense grip on the section (as seen in the reopening notice from moderator Nerf).

gg windows, you win.— Traitor

so?— NoNamE!

I closed it for a reason it's bullshit, Got a problem with it please PM me I moderate this section and when I close something then it fucking stays closed— Nerf

Comparison: Help Me Decide! - Which Chick Is Hotter?

A dead-simple 'dress girl vs swimsuit girl' poll turns into a mini soap opera about whose girlfriend is a 'bitch when she fights.'

A late-page continuation of an old General Discussion poll thread asking members to vote on which of two women pictured was hotter, with Swimsuit Girl dominating the vote overwhelmingly. The tail end of the thread drifts into some light ribbing between members about one poster's girlfriend, with a staff member jokingly asking for more pictures. Classic low-stakes off-topic filler content typical of the board's General Discussion section, later archived with visible signs that some participants (TheLoneMan, ri0t) had since been banned.

you know, ur g/f is pretty hot..ur a lucky sumbitch— Industry

She definitely is, for sure. But I pay my price for it... she's a fucking BITCH when she gets in a fight.— TheLoneMan

Can I get more pics of the dress girl :]?— Arcade

"My First Time Having Sex" — Thread That Wasn't

A thread titled about losing your virginity... that somehow turns into people showing off a Counter-Strike map.

Despite the attention-grabbing title, the surviving tail end of this Off-Topic thread on Fkn0wned.com has nothing to do with its subject — it's just a handful of members complimenting a custom map someone was building and sharing an fpsbanana link to check it out. Classic forgotten forum drift: a thread named for shock value that wandered completely off course by page 2. Low post volume, mostly quick one-line replies from regulars.

Looks wicked. Keep up the good work.— MONST3R

Check out my fpsbanana account, I'm about to upload a wicked map.— Marc347

looks cool— y0uran00b

i Cant Get onto Fkn

A staff member gets locked out of his own forum — and the fix is buried in Windows' hosts file.

Staff member Laptops posted asking why he could only reach Fkn0wned and its sister site through a proxy, wondering if he'd been accidentally IP banned. Fellow members ballistic and Paws chimed in with a quick technical suggestion (clearing the Windows hosts file) rather than confirming any ban. A small, mundane slice of forum life — the kind of low-stakes tech-support thread that filled the General Discussion board between the drama and cheat talk.

hey, i cant get onto fkn, i have to use a proxy... have i been IP banned? maybe by accident, please check and let me kno, thanks.— laptops

go to C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/ and delete the hosts file (smile.gif)— ballistic

if that doesnt work... well.. i dunoo:(— Paws

Fuck Everything (And Game Saves)

GTA: San Andreas eats a save file, and the fkn0wned crew commiserates like it's the end of the world.

A short, low-stakes vent thread from December 2007 where member Goodapollo complains about losing two hours of San Andreas progress to a crash. Fellow members blackxthink and valucard chime in with sympathy, a joking suggestion, and a reminder to save often. It's a tiny slice of everyday forum life outside the cheat/hack side of the site — just regulars killing time in General Discussion.

I just played 2 hours of San Andreas. and i'm on my way back to my house to save, and the fucking game crashes.— Goodapollo

Go download 100% saved game— blackxthink

Save every so often? I do that on all games I play, just to be safe— valucard

Is this weird or lame to collect. (energy drink cans)

One guy's 23-can energy drink collection featuring the legendary 'Communist Russian Monster' can

A Fkn0wned member named Jerry_Seinfeld asks the General Discussion board whether collecting energy drink cans is weird, spotlighting a prized find he dubbed the 'Communist Russian Monster' can with a hammer-and-sickle design. A few members chime in supportively, one asking where to find the can, another bringing up a knockoff Red Bull tangent, and the thread drifts into casual chat about energy drinks and bootleg brands. It's a small, low-stakes slice-of-life thread typical of the forum's off-topic side — mundane hobby talk rather than cheat-scene drama.

It's made by monster and its energy drink with a splash of Java, it's quite good.— Jerry_Seinfeld

ppl collect things WAAAAY weird-er than that bro..I think its kinda cool.— UserID_7588

isn't there a fake redbull called like columbian or something?— Marc347

Nero 8 is giving me the shits

A staff member begs for help burning an .avi to DVD and nearly loses his mind (and his CD key) in the process

A short, mundane tech-support thread from the General Discussion board where staff member PaRaNoID (SyKoTiK HaCkEr) vents frustration trying to burn an .avi movie file to DVD-RW using Nero 8, downloaded from the site days earlier. Fellow member olie22 offers a basic walkthrough while accidentally admitting his own Nero CD key got banned mid-post, prompting a chorus of members ribbing 'paranoid' for needing help. jcomp6 chimes in offering to find a disc but comes up empty. A slice of everyday low-stakes forum life rather than any major drama.

ive downloaded nero 8 off fkn owned about 3 days ago and ihavnt got a clue how to burn a movie(.avi) onto dvd-rw using nero im so close to smashing my pc— PaRaNoID

awww fuck my CD key has been banned well anyway— olie22

(lol paranoid) (lol Paranoid) (lol paranoid) (lol paranoid)

What's in a Name? — Gametration.com Username Origins Thread

Where fkn0wned regulars confessed the real (and not-so-original) stories behind their forum names.

A long-running Off-Topic thread on Gametration.com where members shared how they picked their usernames. It devolved into some gentle ribbing when one poster, DCLXVI, revealed his name was a roman-numeral nod to '1337' — and admitted he'd borrowed the idea from another user named Nutter, prompting some sarcastic 'very original' jabs from Olie22 and blackxthink. Light, low-stakes banter typical of the forum's Off-Topic section, spread across multiple pages.

I thought my name up after years of sitting in isolation in my room. Not really, I stole it from Nutter— DCLXVI

very smart FkN idea. and quite original— Olie22

Wow dclXVI Nice name and very original— blackxthink

I got banned from Xbox Live

13-year-old modder gets the Xbox Live hammer, asks the forum for a way back in

A young member (self-described as 13) posts that he got banned from Xbox Live for modding his 360 and asks for help getting unbanned, preemptively asking people not to just tell him to buy a new console or mock him for his age. Staff members hunterbrute224 and Shifty chime in early, with a quick joking suggestion about a new hard drive. It's a pretty typical low-stakes Off-Topic thread capturing the era's console-modding-ban culture and the forum's casual, teasing camaraderie.

i got banned from xbox live for modding my 360 its lame because im only 13 and dont got much of a job so wont be getting 1 for a while now.— adamdafoo

Easy, get a new hard drive— hunterbrute224

Official FkN Ventrilo Thread

The old crew's voice-chat hangout — passworded channels, TF2 banter, and everyone promising to redownload Vent 'today after work.'

A community thread announcing and discussing the official Fkn0wned.com Ventrilo (voice chat) server, where staff and Media Crew members coordinated which channels were passworded versus open to everyone. Staff member Nerf explains the channel setup and mentions the music playing in Vent was well-liked by members. Other regulars chime in with light banter about Team Fortress 2 and re-downloading Ventrilo to hop back in.

There are only three channels with passwords. But we are always in the passworded ones that why probally i'll make sure to hang out in the un-passworded to make it easier for everyone.— Nerf

New reason gto get Vent now again. I will DL it today after work an get iin there!— DJSketch

Such an Annoying Sig... (page 2)

A dumb forum signature turns into a good-natured 'my sig is more annoying than yours' pissing match.

Tail end of a lighthearted General Discussion thread from January 2008 where members razz each other over an overly large or annoying forum signature. hunterbrute224 owns up to having an even bigger, more obnoxious sig and blames a member called bucketface for egging him on to keep adding to it. A minor mix-up over a possible double-post from Marc347 gets smoothed over by The Moose. Classic low-stakes off-topic banter typical of the board's General Discussion section.

I saw this and it was dumb. LOL Peski soon enough youll be calling all of us "Damn kids" lool. My sig is more annoying, seeing as it is so big. I blame bucketface he tells me to add stuff— hunterbrute224

Idiot, he didn't double post on purpose I guess, shit...— The Moose

LoL at this kid

A staffer's forgotten MSN contact panics that he might get 'hacked' — and it's screenshotted for the whole forum to laugh at.

Staff member miLLer posts a copy-pasted MSN Messenger conversation with a random kid who had a wildly decorated display name and turned out to be scared of getting hacked once he realized he was talking to someone from Fkn0wned. The thread is a classic 'lol at this kid' post typical of the era's forum humor, poking fun at the naive user's paranoia and elaborate MSN nickname. It's a short, casual off-topic post rather than any real event, but it captures the site's mocking, in-group banter culture and the MSN/early internet flavor of the time.

who are you?— נσяєℓ

but dont bitch me... i hav to block u homie... coz u might hack me— נσяєℓ

LoL— miLLer

Soo, When Did You Join?

A simple 'when did you join' thread turned into an old-timer roll call before a mod shut it down.

A veteran member (joined July 2006) started a casual thread asking longtime users when they first joined the forum, noting he hadn't seen many other 2006-era members around anymore. Only a couple of replies came in before a moderator marked the thread as closed with a simple 'answered.' It's a small, low-key nostalgia thread rather than any drama or event, but it captures that early-veteran-vs-newer-crowd feeling common on forums a year or two into their life.

Curious when u all joined. I havnt seen too many people from 06, i joined on July 8, 2006.— blacknight00

i join on the 19-November 07— benji1

Will CS Disappear in 20 Years?

2007 forum prophets debate whether anyone will still be bunnyhopping through de_dust in 2027.

A newer member (CSROCKS) opens a speculative thread in December 2007 asking whether Counter-Strike 1.6 will still have players two decades later, floating population estimates and suggesting someone chart historical player counts. Staff and regulars weigh in with a mix of shrugs and confident predictions, including a memorable comparison of CS's future to humanity's survival odds. One member flatly predicts nobody will be playing 1.6 or Source at all by then. A light, idle speculation thread typical of the site's Off-Topic/General Discussion section, notable now mostly for the irony of hindsight.

They will probally keep updating it releasing new versions every few years. But you can't really be sure its like saying will humanity still be around in twenty years.— miLLer

20 years you crazy ? lol NO body will still playing 1.6 and source— blackxthink

Shiftz Announces a Month Away in Sicily

A co-manager goes off-grid for Christmas in Sicily and dares the staff to catch his post count

In this General Discussion thread from November 2007, longtime Fkn0wned co-manager Shiftz announces he'll be offline for about a month while visiting family in Messina, Sicily for Christmas, citing spotty internet access in the area. The post has a warm, personal, low-drama vibe typical of forum life check-ins, with Shiftz sharing travel photos and jokingly challenging fellow members Sonikk, Afteryou, and Laptops to close the gap on his post count while he's gone. It's less about site business and more a slice of everyday community life among the staff.

Anyway Sonikk, Afteryou and Laptops you have a month to get as close as you can to my post count haha.— Shiftz

This is so short notice, although we've been planning it for ages I only got told we are doing it about an hour ago.— Shiftz

1.6 and CSS Gunsounds

A random IM argument about whether CS 1.6 and CSS share gun sounds gets dragged to the forum for a verdict

A member named Renegade.MB posted a pasted chat log between two people (M4RC and Semper) arguing over whether Counter-Strike: Source's weapon and footstep sounds are identical to Counter-Strike 1.6's, spiraling into a petty back-and-forth capped by escalating 'FAIL' spam. Renegade brought the debate to Fkn0wned's General Discussion for the community to weigh in. It's a small, silly slice of mid-2000s off-topic forum culture — low stakes, high snark.

the only difference is graphiccs— Semper

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL— Semper

we will ask the people on fkn0wned— M4RC

Fastest you've been vacced?

Guest pass, one detected aimbot, VAC ban in under 48 hours — who could beat that?

A casual General Discussion thread from November 2007 where members swap stories of how quickly they got VAC banned using known-detected cheats like 'Holzed v1.1'. It's a lighthearted brag/confession thread typical of the forum's cheat-scene culture, with regulars comparing timelines from months down to just days.

On the 2nd day I was vacced— bobbafett07

Lmao, 6 months? 4 days...— MessiaH

Fkn0wned IRC Channel Revival Announcement

The old IRC got nuked — here's the new address to idle in forever

A co-manager named DCLXVI posts the connection details for a replacement IRC channel after the community's original one was destroyed, inviting members to idle in via mIRC. A follow-up edit from 'Shifty' adds a pirated mIRC client download for anyone lacking a copy. Staff member Nerf chimes in shortly after, suggesting quick community engagement with the announcement. It's a small but telling snapshot of how this scene coordinated outside the forum itself, leaning on IRC and cracked software as everyday infrastructure.

Our old IRC channel was destroyed, I made a new one.— DCLXVI

I just know and you dont.— Nerf

N0name Needs Ban again!

A single-post callout demanding the ban of a 9-year-old member named N0name — classic fkn0wned drama in miniature.

A member named HackerKing, posting as a fresh 'Noob' rank account, opened a thread in General Discussion publicly calling for staff to ban a user known as N0name, citing immaturity and age (claimed to be 9 years old) as the reason. The post is brief and reads as a community heads-up rather than a moderation report, typical of the casual, unfiltered drama that played out in the open on Off-Topic boards. There's no visible staff or community reply captured on this page, so the outcome of the callout is unknown.

ban noname... just a warning... hes 9 years old and inmature and more... so just giving you guys a heads up.— HackerKing

"Want free game accounts?" - HaSh's Scamming Recruitment Thread

A member openly recruits a 'scamming crew' to rip off game accounts and resell them for forum points — right out in the open.

In October 2007, forum regular HaSh posted an open call for members willing to help scam game accounts (targeting markeedragon.com and WoW accounts) in exchange for free accounts and a cut of what got resold on the forum for points. He announced he'd hold same-night 'tryouts' and only take on a handful of recruits. A couple of members replied showing interest, including one asking if there'd be a training area for beginners. The thread is a blunt snapshot of the forum's cheat-scene culture, where scamming schemes were pitched casually as forum 'business'.

Im looking for people that are good at scamming.— HaSh

i would if i could scam but im just starting, it would be nice if you have a training area— bragamuffin

CD Key Cracks

New member asks for a CS:S key crack — gets shut down instantly by the old guard

A low-post-count newcomer asks in General Discussion if anyone knows of a working crack or keygen for Counter-Strike: Source CD keys, tired of repurchasing keys after VAC bans. A veteran member (Paws) flatly shuts the idea down, pointing to an existing pinned thread in the hack forums confirming no such crack exists. A regular 1K Club member chimes in briefly before the thread trails off.

there are NONE. Absolutely NONE. Read the css hack forums.. and ull find a pinned thread, saying exactly what i said.— Paws

so does anyone know of a site that has a good crack/gen for cd keys for counter strike source— Golden3

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

how to spam an email addy?

A member wants revenge on some guy who wronged him — by drowning his hotmail.de inbox in spam.

A short, petty little thread from Fkn0wned's General Discussion board: member r8d110 asks how to sign someone's email up for spam and mailing lists because he's mad at the guy. It's a quick, casual request typical of the forum's off-topic section, posted with a couple of goofy emoticons and zero follow-up shown on the page. A snapshot of the kind of low-stakes, mildly petty requests that filled the Off-Topic board back in the day.

yo all. i want 2 spam an email cos the guy is a total dickhead— r8d110

do wot you want— r8d110

DubStepHEAVENZ

A co-manager dusted off an old Reason disk and dropped his homemade dubstep tracks on the forum.

In this January 2008 General Discussion thread, longtime co-manager 'Shifty' (posting under the alias Crim) shared a couple of self-produced dubstep tracks he'd uploaded to the Newgrounds Audio Portal, made using an old copy of Reason and a MIDI keyboard. He mentioned having several more tracks sitting on an old hard drive he might upload later. A couple of members chimed in briefly with quick approval before the thread trails off.

So yah, I found my old Reason disk. Plugged in my midi keyboard and uploaded some old projects into Reason.— Shifty

Sick beats.— Wares

Thank You FKN0WNED.COM!

One member did the math on everything he'd downloaded — warez, game tuts, and 'porn and what not' — and came back with a very specific dollar figure.

A short-lived thank-you thread in General Discussion where member daxsmoke gushed appreciation to the whole community for the free warez, tutorials, and adult content he'd grabbed from the site over time, claiming it saved him thousands of dollars. Supervisor Don Ruski replied but the thread got closed almost immediately by moderator Afteryou for going off-topic, cutting the love-fest short. A small, goofy artifact of the site's classic mid-2000s warez/cheat-forum culture.

You've saved me around... $5439 to be exact LOL— daxsmoke

I love FKN0WNED.COM!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3— daxsmoke

Slash Vs Bill Gates in Guitar Hero III

The day Fkn0wned debated whether Bill Gates could out-shred Slash on a plastic guitar.

A random pop-culture news post from December 2007 sparked a light off-topic thread about Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash preparing to face Microsoft's Bill Gates in a Guitar Hero III showdown at CES 2008, plus a mention of Scott Weiland's DUI troubles. The thread itself is short, casual chatter with members just weighing in on who'd win — classic low-stakes General Discussion filler typical of the era's forums.

so.. who you think wil win ?— asshoel50

Bill gates.— mr.N0Nam3

Can anyone code websites?

A GFX staffer asks the forum for help ditching table layouts for div/CSS — and gets a whopping two replies.

MuusiK^, one of the site's Graphics staff members, posts in General Discussion asking if anyone can help him get up to speed on proper div/CSS-based coding instead of old-school table layouts, admitting he's rusty and has 'not much to offer' in return. The thread gets almost no traction: a low-post-count member named Dylan10311 chimes in with a one-word 'yesh', and longtime Scotland-based member Scratch (posting under the handle miLLer in one archive snapshot) shows up a day later without adding much. A quiet, forgettable little thread, but a nice snapshot of the era's transition from table-based to CSS web design and the low-key day-to-day chatter of the forum's Off-Topic section.

well im realy rusty with coding so does anyone know how to code in proper div format? css stuff, no tables or shit— MuusiK^

yesh— Dylan10311

A brand-new Call of Duty 4 owner hits a PunkBuster wall on his very first day online

A member fresh off downloading Call of Duty 4 from Direct2Drive ran into a PunkBuster error message when trying to switch teams on a multiplayer server, and posted asking what was going on. Another member quickly chimed in with a pointer toward the game's PB setup folder to fix it. A short, low-key tech-support style exchange typical of the forum's General Discussion board, with regulars mr.N0Nam3, typeusernamehere, and longtime co-manager Shifty all dropping in.

k so i dl the game from direct2drive put my key in, go to multiplayer, i hit find servers, i log into one, i go to switch a team and some message about punkbuster, wtf?— mr.N0Nam3

you need to add punkbuster, search somehwere in the game folders under pb or pbsetup— typeusernamehere

It's NERFFFF!

A member named Nerf announces his return and gets a two-post welcome party

A short, low-key General Discussion thread from November 2007 where a staff member going by 'Nerf' pops back into the forum after time away, greeted with a quick welcome from regular mystical1. The thread trails off with Don Ruski (nicknamed 'FkN Godfather') posting right after, though his message content wasn't captured. It's a small slice of everyday forum life rather than any major event — just members checking in on each other.

I'm back suppp— Nerf

welcome back nerf— mystical1

wtf is campstaff?

One user's random question about a stranger unearths a piece of scene history — Project Mayhem and the fall of msx.

A short, low-key thread where member k0rn_h0li0 asks who 'campstaff' actually is, skeptical that he's legit and not just some random hack user claiming ties to 'cheat-project.' blacknight00 answers with a bit of scene lore, identifying campstaff as a former admin of 'pm' (Project Mayhem) who went inactive when 'msx' shut down, vouching for him as legit. It's a tiny two-post exchange, but it's a neat little snapshot of how reputations and cheat-scene pedigree were checked and vouched for informally on these forums.

he says hes part of cheat-project. i just think hes another user that just uses hacks. anyone got any info on him?— k0rn_h0li0

Campstaff was an admin from pm, when msx went down so did pm. Hes legit, he helped with Project Mayhem— blacknight00

The Great MP4 Converter Ask (Zune/iPod Edition)

A 2008 member just wanted to convert AVIs for his Zune — a perfectly mundane thread that's basically a time capsule.

A member named gorillas asked for a free video converter that could turn AVI files into MP4 for use on a Zune or iPod, specifically griping about shady 'free' tools that only half-convert files. nullvoid replied with a suggested tool, and steve357 pointed toward the software subforum for more options. A completely ordinary tech-support exchange, but a nice little snapshot of mid-2000s portable media player culture and the forum's software-sharing habits.

does anyone know of one? that converts video files such as .avi into .mp4 files to use on your zune, ipod, etc.— gorillas

check in the software area— steve357

WVU vs. Pitt (2007 College Football Upset Rant)

A WVU fan melts down in General Discussion after Pitt ruins their national title shot 13-7

User 'Industry' vents about West Virginia's shocking 2007 upset loss to unranked Pittsburgh, torching his own team's performance in colorful terms. Staff member miLLer chimes in mostly to say college football bores him and question whether the thread belongs in the venting forum, while Janza drops in without much comment. A small, low-key sports gripe thread typical of the forum's Off-Topic section rather than any cheat-scene drama.

wvu fuckin sucked and messed up multiple times because they choke they choke like a motherfuckin whore on a cock!!!— Industry

does this not belong in vent forum or something?— miLLer

NoName showed me his wheels!

A staffer gets jealous over a supervisor's 'wheels' — and the thread gets closed almost as fast as it opened.

A quick, lighthearted Off-Topic post where a staff member (Scratch) posted an image expressing envy after apparently seeing member mr.N0Nam3's 'wheels' (likely a car or similar). Supervisor mr.N0Nam3 chimed in shortly after, but the thread was closed the next day by mr.N0Nam3 himself with a one-line nod agreeing with another member ('apollo'). A short-lived, casual bit of forum banter typical of the site's Off-Topic section.

im so jealous...— Scratch

good point apollo— mr.N0Nam3

Please fkn0wned CODERS

A guy claims a CAL team called 'Stacked like pancakes, HACK!!!!' beat ACL/VAC and goes hunting for a coder to make it happen for him too — staff immediately smells nonsense.

A member named CoryZ opens a thread claiming a CAL/CEVO competitive team was secretly running cheats undetected by ACL and VAC, based on secondhand info from a friend who supposedly knows one of the players. He asks the forum's coders to reach out to him, presumably wanting the same capability. Staff member Arcade quickly pushes back, asking for the source of the claim, and the thread cuts off with no real resolution or coder stepping forward.

they r a team of CODERS, they get passed ACL and fucking chnage it before vac catches up.... anyone know sfkn0wneds? vent? any coders out there plz contact me plz.— CoryZ

So, Where did you hear of this information?— Arcade

Who's Got a Dark Past?

Old members air out their skeletons — and someone gets called out for getting 'owned' back in the day.

A confessional-style thread in Fkn0wned's General Discussion where members reminisced about their shady histories on the forum and in the old cheat scene. This is the tail end of a two-page thread, catching a late reply from a member who admits he mostly lurked to download hacks rather than post, and recalls a memorable moment of another member getting clowned on by a user named 'shifty.' The tone is nostalgic and self-deprecating, typical of old forum 'confess your sins' threads.

Yeah I remember all those arse holes although I was never a poster back than I just liked to download the hacks— Riley

The funniest was the ownage on [censored] by shifty haha what a prick— Riley

"question" — the password-change security scare

TuxifieD tells everyone to change their passwords... and nobody quite explains why.

A short General Discussion thread sparked by a site-wide security notice from CEO TuxifieD warning members that Fkn0wned's security and personal info may have been compromised, urging everyone to change passwords and avoid reusing them elsewhere. Member MicroUltra opens the thread simply asking what the reason for the warning was, relieved they hadn't reused a password. A small, mildly anxious moment of forum history rather than a big drama — just admins covering their bases after a possible breach.

There is reason to believe that the sites security and your personal information might have been compromised.— TuxifieD

whats the reason? thank god i didnt use the same thing— MicroUltra

LOLCODE Appreciation Thread

A guy named Wankst0r tried to get the forum hyped about coding in meme-speak, HAI WORLD style.

A short-lived, lighthearted General Discussion thread from late 2007 where a member (already tagged 'Banned' by the time of this archive snapshot) shared the joke programming language LOLCODE, complete with a sample 'HAI WORLD' snippet. Forum veteran ballistic, a high-post '1000 Club' member, replied right after, though the reply content itself was mostly just his signature/profile block. Typical of the era's Off-Topic filler threads — low stakes, a bit of nerd humor, nothing dramatic.

who doesnt want to code in a language most of all already know? LOLCODE is there for you!— Wankst0r

HAI CAN HAS STDIO? VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!" KTHXBYE— Wankst0r

Xango.com? - the Xpango referral hack that wasn't

Kid asks fkn0wned to hack a free-stuff rewards site, gets told to sit down

A short, quickly-resolved thread from February 2008 where member Nur5 asked if there was a way to game Xpango (a referral-based free-stuff site) for credits without doing referrals, and dropped his own referral link while insisting it wasn't advertising. Fellow member l3m0nz shot the idea down flatly, saying no such hack existed and that anyone claiming otherwise was scamming. Nur5 accepted the answer and asked mods to close the thread, making this a tiny, low-drama exchange typical of the forum's off-topic chatter.

is there a way i can get credits fo free? you know like hax?— Nur5

no i dont think that theres any xpango hack out there the only ones you will see will be some guy trying to scam you.— l3m0nz

mr.N0Nam3's Public Apology

A supervisor eats crow forum-wide after posting someone's photo out of spite.

A Supervisor named mr.N0Nam3 posted a public apology on the General Discussion board admitting he leaked a picture of a member named 'tux' and flamed other staff members during a personal dispute. He clarified he wasn't forced to apologize, framed it as a moment of immaturity and anger, and hoped to smooth things over with the community. A staff member named Industry replied shortly after, though the response itself wasn't preserved in full. The thread captures a small but telling moment of internal staff drama typical of the forum's day-to-day social friction.

I'm sorry for posting tux's pic, I'm sorry for flaming the people who i did in staff, it wont happen again and I hope we can all get along— mr.N0Nam3

Learn To Count! (page 9 of 9)

A years-long spam-counting thread limps to its final page with cat pictures and 'I has feets' jokes

This is the tail end of a classic forum time-waster: an off-topic 'count to X' style thread that ballooned to 9 pages of low-effort, high-nostalgia filler posts. By this final page, the counting premise has long since dissolved into inside jokes, lolcat-style images, and members riffing on a 'feets' meme. It's the epitome of 2007-era General Discussion filler — pure community glue rather than actual content.

lol i has feets tooo— olie22

WTF IS THAT? I HAS FEETS? AHAHAHAH— Whats that?...BA...

Deface [censored] — a one-post callout

A brand-new noob shows up asking someone to deface a rival site 'once again'

A short-lived General Discussion thread from April 2008 where a freshly registered member (7 posts) calls out an unnamed site/group, accusing them of going around trying to screw people over, and asks the community to deface them again — implying it had happened before. No replies or follow-up appear in the archived page, so the outcome and the target's identity are lost to time.

Someone Please deface the [censored] there just going around looking who to fuck over. It would be nice if someone defaced them once again.— HackerKing

MSN Password Cracker

Page two of a thread promising to crack MSN passwords — mostly just people saying 'thanks' and 'unhide'

The tail end of a two-page General Discussion thread on Fkn0wned.com about some kind of MSN password-cracking tool. By the time this page picks up, the actual content has faded into brief member replies — one asking to have hidden download links unhidden, another just dropping a quick thanks. Classic late-2000s cheat-forum filler: a tool thread that outlived its own substance and became a two-line tail of gratitude and link-begging.

unhide..i will try— steve357

Thanks!— AgeOldProphecy

A Reason you <3 Fkn0wned.com

One rule: drop one line on why you love this dump — 'string beans are teh shit' sets the bar

A simple chain-post thread started by staff member Industry, asking members to each add a numbered reason they loved Fkn0wned.com, building off his opening line about the community and entertainment value. It's a lighthearted, community-affirming thread typical of forum culture at the time, meant to rack up nostalgic and joke answers post by post. The page also preserves a curious artifact: the same thread appears mirrored under a 'Gametration.com' skin/chrome, with Industry's account there marked 'Banned' and re-titled 'Expect Us', hinting at some later site rebrand or drama around his account.

post one statement about fkn0wned.com that makes you love it so much.— Industry

string beans are teh shit— Industry

UPLOAD UPLOAD UPLOAD - Gallery Drive

Staff put out a call for image uploaders — quality over quantity, or you're getting suspended.

A co-manager announcement urging members to contribute to the FkN Gallery, framed as a competition tied to Member of the Month. Rules were laid out about avoiding ad-plastered or low-quality JPEGs, uploading to correct categories, and keeping explicit content out of the Safe For Work section. The thread reflects the site's mix of image-board culture and its 'XXX gallery' alongside more mundane forum content, with staff actively moderating tone and quality.

We Moderate Your Fun!

Don't upload the worst JPEGs possible.— Shifty

Ventrilo :O

Someone posted a Ventrilo server and the thread just... happened.

A short, low-stakes General Discussion thread from late December 2007 where a member shared a Ventrilo voice-chat server, prompting a couple of casual replies. InzaneHacker chimed in to claim ownership of the server, and Goodapollo dropped in with a one-liner. Nothing dramatic — just a quiet slice of the everyday chatter that filled Gametration/Fkn0wned's off-topic board.

LoL, its my ventrilo o.O— InzaneHacker

This is the business we've chosen— Goodapollo

Webcomics and Internet Humour

A Smod's daily webcomic addictions, from Questionable Content to Perry Bible Fellowship

A staff member (The Royal Scam, an FkN Smod) kicks off a casual General Discussion thread asking who else on the forum reads webcomics. He lists his own regulars — Questionable Content, Over Compensating, Multiplex, VG Cats, and Perry Bible Fellowship — with a bit of personal color, like comparing QC to a soap opera and noting his real-life job as a cinema projectionist ties into Multiplex. It's a low-key, personal, hobby-sharing thread typical of the site's Off-Topic section rather than anything cheat or drama related.

Questionable Content by Jeph Jaques is like my Coronation Street, a story of on-going scandal and drama that I have become totally engrossed in.— The Royal Scam

Perry Bible Fellowship by Nicholas Gurewitch is the funniest webcomic I have EVER read.— The Royal Scam

Steam Accounts - Working Options

Some old-school account sharing that would never fly on today's internet.

A short 2007 thread in the General Discussion section of Fkn0wned.com where a member with 3,600+ posts ('Afteryou') posted a couple of shared Steam logins for others to use. A Supervisor and a Staff member quickly chimed in to confirm the accounts worked, in the casual, low-effort style typical of these throwaway account-sharing posts on the forum.

thx, working 100%— HaSh

"The Source" — a one-liner mystery post from Renegade.MB

A banned member's cryptic one-liner: 'Why is he banned?'

A short, cryptic thread started in General Discussion by Renegade.MB, a member already flagged as Banned at the time of posting. The post itself is just a title ('The Source') with no real body text beyond the poster's info, prompting confusion from at least one reader about why he was banned in the first place. It's a small, odd fragment typical of the low-effort/off-topic chatter that filled Fkn0wned's General Discussion board.

Why is he banned?

What game do you play the most?

1,097 votes later: CS 1.6 barely edges out CSS in the poll that decided what fkn0wned would even bother supporting.

An admin poll from April 2008 asking the fkn0wned community which game they played most, framed as market research for deciding what titles the site's cheat database should support. CS 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Source dominated the vote almost evenly (38.29% vs 37.10%), dwarfing WoW, CoD4, BF2 and a handful of other era-appropriate titles. The thread ran three pages as members weighed in with their picks and reasons, giving a snapshot of the CS-heavy identity of the forum's userbase.

I am interested to know what the most popular games are regarding the people that visit fkn0wned. Please vote and reply with your reason.— iydsicydt
