Post Your Setup

Old-school PC flexing: monitors, towers, and cable-managed pride from 2008.

A long-running General Discussion thread (into its 4th page by early 2008) where members posted photos and descriptions of their computer setups — rigs, monitors, desks. It drew the usual mix of admiration and light ribbing, typical of forum 'show off your gear' threads from the era. Both posters quoted here, Don Ruski and Shifty, were high-post-count veterans, though both accounts were later marked Banned.

Pfft show-off— Don Ruski

I have an insane stalker.

A mystery gifter kept showering one member with presents — and nobody knew who it was.

A member named Seaking posted in General Discussion claiming someone had anonymously 'gifted' them three times, seemingly a Steam or forum-related gifting feature, and expressed confused amusement rather than alarm. The thread was light and jokey ('in a good way') rather than an actual complaint about harassment. A GFX staffer, -Shikari-, replied early on, though the rest of the discussion isn't captured here.

This is the third time this person has gifted me...Wtf? I don't even know who it is.— Seaking

My Present to Fkn0wned! (the GIF thread)

A staffer whips up a homemade GIF 'gift' for the site out of pure jealousy — and drops it in Off-Topic for the verdict.

In December 2007, staff member Industry posted a self-made animated GIF as a lighthearted gift to the Fkn0wned community, admitting he made it because he'd seen other members' GIFs and got jealous. It's a quick, low-stakes Off-Topic post inviting reactions, with fellow staffer Scratch chiming in right after. A small, casual snapshot of the site's General Discussion culture rather than any major event.

lol i made you a "gif" hehe...ironic! what you guys think? i saw [censored]s and i got jealous lol— Industry

NoNamE!'s TeamSpeak Invite

The forum's own mascot drops a TeamSpeak invite and one guy shows up right on cue.

A brief General Discussion post from Gametration.com, a mid-2000s cheat-scene forum, where senior member and self-styled 'Gametration's Mascot' NoNamE! invites anyone in the community to join his TeamSpeak server. It's a quick, casual community-building post rather than any drama or event, with only one reply from fellow member rnie before the trail goes cold in the archive.

anyone is welcome to come into my teamspeak.— NoNamE!

Scamming - 'Gullable Kids'

One dude drops a Steam name and dares the forum to go scam him — classic thec0re chaos.

A short 2007 General Discussion thread where user thesource calls out a Steam contact as an easy scam target and eggs on other members to add him and report back on 'owning' him. Blaqk replies almost immediately, but the thread cuts off before anyone confirms a result. It's a small, blunt snapshot of the casual scam-baiting culture that ran alongside the site's cheat scene.

Someone add this to steam g2cursed lmao wait till he gets owned! post back here when u scam him lol— thesource

help with ipod

Formatted his PC, bricked his iPod connection — a Co-Manager turns to General Discussion for tech support.

A short, mundane Off-Topic thread from Fkn0wned.com's General Discussion board, where longtime member Shifty (a Co-Manager, member #6, one of the site's earliest registered users) asks for help after reformatting his computer left his iPod unable to connect via USB. The thread captures a quiet, everyday corner of the forum's life outside the cheat scene and drama — just a member troubleshooting basic tech in between whatever else was going on. No resolution or replies are preserved in the archived content.

i formatted my computer and now my ipod won't connect to my computer at all.— Shifty

AVI Question

A member just wants to burn a movie file to DVD so it'll play on the living room player.

A short, low-key General Discussion thread from the Fkn0wned.Com forums where user 'Epic Failure' asks the community for the best way to burn AVI files onto a DVD disc so it plays in a standalone DVD player. It's a single-post, unanswered snapshot at the time of archiving — the kind of mundane, everyday tech-help question that filled the Off-Topic boards between the cheat-scene drama and gaming talk.

whats the best way to burn AVI files on to a DVD disc so that it works with my DVD Player?— Epic Failure

Kung-Fu Election

The time a Fkn0wned member found a flash game where Hillary and McCain settle it with bo staffs

A single-post throwaway in General Discussion where member lragnarok11 shares a link to a goofy 2008-era Atomfilms flash game called 'Kung-Fu Election,' letting players pick presidential candidates (Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Richardson vs. Romney, Giuliani, McCain, Huckabee) and fight it out with kung-fu moves and weapons. Pure lighthearted link-sharing typical of the Off-Topic board, poking fun at the 2008 US primary race. No replies, no drama — just a snapshot of forum-era internet humor.

If you thought that McCain was too old for the rigors of a grueling election, wait until you see what he can do with a bo staff in his hands!— lragnarok11

Need a Hexedit Pro

One lonely post, one Rapidshare link, and a region-code mystery nobody ever solved.

A single-post thread from December 2007 in Fkn0wned's General Discussion board, where user jorskobe asked for help using a hex editor to convert a North America save/config file to a Europe region code, linking two Rapidshare-hosted files for comparison. The post got no visible replies, making it a small time-capsule of the era's console modding/region-hacking help requests. Typical of the forum's off-topic tech-help traffic rather than any major cheat-scene drama.

can someone edit this file using hexedit and make it europe code because its north america code and i cant figure out on how to do it..— jorskobe

After the Snowfall - Backyard Snow Pics

A banned member named Traitor once just... shared some snow pics of his backyard.

A short, quiet General Discussion post from February 2008 where a user going by 'Traitor' shared a few photos of snow-covered scenery in his Canadian backyard, simply remarking on how pretty it looked. No drama, no cheats talk — just a small slice of ordinary forum life between members. Notable mainly because the poster's account is marked as banned in this archived snapshot, hinting at a story the thread itself doesn't tell.

That's our backyard. Ain't it pretty?— Traitor

hmm big trouble? (page 2 of 2)

A vague 'big trouble' thread fizzles out with a one-line thanks

This is the tail end of a General Discussion thread titled 'hmm big trouble?' on Fkn0wned.Com, an old Counter-Strike cheat-scene forum. Only the final page survived in this archive, showing member ACxDog, a low-ranked 'Trained Noob', posting a brief thanks in response to whatever advice or resolution had been given earlier in the thread. The original drama or issue that sparked the 'big trouble' title is lost to the archive, leaving just this quiet, anticlimactic close.

oh ok i will thx— ACxDog

SWAP.avi.

A mysterious shared video file sparks a classic take-it-or-leave-it forum showdown.

This is the tail end of a General Discussion thread on Fkn0wned.Com centered around a shared video file called SWAP.avi. By page two, the conversation had apparently devolved into some pushback or skepticism, prompting user ACxDog to defend the post with a blunt 'just watch it or don't' attitude. It's a small, low-stakes slice of classic forum culture — someone shares a link, someone complains, someone claps back.

man ....just click on the link watch the video if ya like it then.good, if not than stfu..thats all ...=D— ACxDog

CAN YOU MAKE IT TO 100

A classic forum time-waster: just count to 100 without anyone screwing it up.

This was one of those low-stakes, purely-for-fun counting threads that pop up in every forum's General Discussion — members took turns posting numbers trying to reach 100 without a repeat or a troll derailing it. By page 2, the thread was winding down with member Version4 posting near the end. Nothing dramatic here, just classic filler-thread energy that kept the Off-Topic section alive between cheat releases and rants.

Hot Or Not!?

A lone 'rate this' post that went nowhere fast.

A short-lived, low-effort thread in the General Discussion section where a member posted a link inviting others to judge someone as 'hot or not.' It's a tiny snapshot of the era's throwaway off-topic posting culture, likely a low-effort or spam-adjacent post typical of small forum communities, with no real discussion following it. Notable mainly as a preserved artifact of the forum's casual, unmoderated off-topic chatter rather than for any drama or lasting impact.

Old Italian Song

Someone dug up an old Italian song and the General Discussion crowd had thoughts.

A short, mostly forgotten thread in Gametration's General Discussion where a member shared or asked about an old Italian song. Little of the actual conversation survived in this archive capture, leaving mostly the site's navigation chrome intact. It's a small, quiet snapshot of the kind of random off-topic filler that filled out forums like this between cheat releases and drama threads.

It's just like hacking!

A Gametration off-topic thread that reduced 'hacking' to a punchline everyone got in on.

This was a General Discussion thread on the old Gametration.com forum, a gaming/cheat-scene community with dedicated cheat databases for titles like Counter-Strike, Battlefield, and America's Army. The thread itself leaned casual and off-topic, riffing on the site's core cheat culture with a joking 'it's just like hacking!' comparison rather than any technical content. It captures the lighter, bantering side of the community that existed alongside its more serious cheat-database sections.
