Some of my pictures (Ninjade's Belgium & Thailand photo thread)
A cheat-scene forum takes a breather to admire a Belgian member's holiday snaps from Brugge and Thailand.
In the Photography subforum of Art & Design, member Ninjade posted a batch of personal photos hosted on Photobucket, mostly of old medieval-era buildings near Antwerp/Brugge, with a follow-up set from a trip to Thailand added later in the thread. The replies are wholesome and low-key: members admire the scenery, mistake giraffes in a photo for fakes, ask about editing the shots, and chat about where everyone in the thread actually lives (Belgium, Birmingham, Mississippi). It's a quiet, friendly slice-of-life thread far removed from the hacking/cheat-scene reputation of the forum, showing the more social, everyday side of the community.
at first i thought the giraffes were fake then i took a second look— Hatred!
beautiful, I almost felt like I was actually at there. Good Job.— timem604
I don't have the pictures I took in Thailand on my computer, they're probably on my dad's computer.— Ninjade
Dubai 45 Gigapixel Photo
A member shares a mind-boggling 4,250-photo composite of Dubai — and things briefly get racial before settling back into casual awe.
In the Photography subforum, member merete92 shared a link to a massive 45-gigapixel panoramic photo of Dubai stitched from 4,250 individual shots, sourced from another forum. Replies were mostly short reactions of amazement at the scale and dedication involved, with someone joking it looked like a GTA map. The thread takes a brief detour into a jab from pikachu at Junnyerr's grammar and race, which Junnyerr brushed off with a sarcastic reply, before the thread returns to mundane appreciation of the image.
You mean 'boredom' Joon? I know people of your race don't go to school but you could've done better. QT <3— pikachu
Sorry I guess I should of google'd it . Won't happen again .— Junnyerr
Looks like one of the grand theft autos— fkngames
My Photography >:] — mecon2's photo thread
A hacking forum's cheat-scene regulars pause the exploits to gush over sunsets, dust storms, and a train shot everyone loved.
In the Art & Design > Photography subforum, member mecon2 shared a set of personal DSLR shots (sunsets, a duststorm, trees, a train/rails scene, and later some flowers) hosted on DeviantArt and Photobucket. A cross-section of well-known forum names — VIP members, a Smod, a Founder, and even some later-banned users — dropped in with genuine praise, and the thread drifted into friendly camera-gear talk (Nikon D60 vs D100, lens setups). It's a quiet, wholesome corner of an otherwise cheat/hacking-focused community, showing the softer, hobbyist side of the userbase.
shit son that's smexy keep going keep going :)— NIX
hackers + flowers = ?— mecon2
You have the right Idea's, but not the correct settings, what type of camera are you using bro?— jcomp6
jcomp6 shares his photography (Flickr link thread)
A year of amateur shots, a stage-diving scar, and forum members actually being nice to each other for once.
In the Photography subforum of Art & Design, longtime member jcomp6 shared a link to his Flickr portfolio after about a year of shooting. The thread is a rare pocket of warmth on the board, with members like Botoxx, vermiLLion, shwager, and trinetyface genuinely complimenting the work, asking about his gear and location, and one photo prompting a story about a stage-diving injury that needed stitches. It's a small, wholesome side of the community outside the usual cheats/warez traffic.
I really like your photos, probably one of the best photograqphers here.— Botoxx
yes that is a photo of me, result of copping a Knee from a mate stage diving and tripping on microphone cord. 6 stitches— jcomp6
I love the tree ones and shit =D— shwager
KZA's Watch Collection Photo Thread
The forum's resident 'baws' shows off his watch collection, and everyone wants to know the price tag
A simple show-off post in the Photography subforum where longtime member KZA posted a photo of his watch collection, asking for reactions. Regulars piled in with compliments and light banter, several jokingly asking the total cost or accusing him of stealing them, and founder TuxifieD and smod NIX weighed in with their favorites. It's a low-key, friendly flex thread typical of the forum's social side rather than its gaming/cheat focus, with a cast of well-known names (Puree, jonneh28, TuxifieD, NIX, Hatred!, timem604, ZoaQ) trading casual compliments over about two weeks in April 2009.
bitch.. im the baws— KZA
your watches gave me a boner. OMG!— timem604
I thinks KZA Stole them all , Jokes, How much did they all cost?— Hatred!
Car pictures with Nikon D60
A VIP shares his brother's Nikon D60 car shots from Spa, Belgium — and gets caught out by his own signature pic
In the Photography subforum, VIP member Bernie L. Madoff posted a set of car photos taken by his brother 'Noprobz' with a Nikon D60, shot around Spa, Belgium and touched up in Photoshop. The thread turned into a friendly appreciation chain with members praising specific shots (an Audi, a Dodge, bottle and tequila photos) and asking for full-size versions for wallpapers. A minor comic moment came when smod Kimmi jokingly mistook Bernie's forum signature image (of Bernard Madoff) for one of the car photos, prompting a light 'gotcha' exchange.
You mean the picture of Bernard Madoff? That's in his signature, you dummy. He didn't make that picture.— Kimmi
No, I didn't make the pic of my sign .— Bernie L. Madoff
The dodge is hella sexeh :) good job— gilkra
Some pics I made for school (Utu's photography thread)
A student's school photo project gets an oddly wholesome critique session from the fkn0wned crowd
Member Utu posted a set of photography images made for a school assignment, shot around an old train station in Eindhoven, Holland, asking the board to weigh in on favorites. The thread turned into a small, genuinely friendly critique session, with regulars picking their favorite shots (the second image was the clear crowd-pleaser) and even smod NIX and a few 1000 Club members chiming in. A rare quiet, low-drama corner of the forum, though not everyone was impressed.
Where was this some kind of a prison ?— NIX
it does look like you live in a pretty rough part of town. :]— howeasy
all really boring sorry.— jcomp6
Some Pictures Taken By Me (NIX's countryside photos)
A [FkN] Crew regular shares countryside snapshots — and sparks a gentle debate over whether they're actually good
NIX, a longtime [FkN] Crew member, posted a batch of personal photographs (tinypic-hosted, since dead) taken 'a few years back' in his countryside, including a horse and a river scene, in the Photography subforum. The thread drew a steady trickle of compliments over several months from March to September 2009, with some light ribbing about Yugoslavia/Serbia geography and a couple of members offering more critical, constructive feedback about composition and focal points. It's a quiet, wholesome corner of the forum — cheat-scene regulars taking a breather to share slice-of-life hobby content rather than hacks or drama.
Yugoslavia is now my favourite place in the world. Nice pics, keep them coming.— spammingman
That Horse looks Beautiful, Looks like you take Good care of it. You must have allot of money :)— Greedytrojan
There isn't that much of a focal point of much of a subject other than the fact you like the countryside.— TheFlow
AcTiViZoN's Redone Beach Wallpaper Edit
A noob posts a Photoshopped beach wallpaper for critique — and the forum votes for the original almost unanimously.
In the Photography subforum of Art & Design, member AcTiViZoN shared a photo edit of a stock beach wallpaper, asking for ratings and critique. A string of regulars, including some heavyweight long-time members and a moderator, weighed in — most agreed the edit added glow and extra light sources but preferred the smoother, softer original. It's a small, low-drama slice of the forum's creative side, a casual C&C thread typical of the Art & Design section's photo-editing culture.
It's sharper that's alright but this did you take the first pic by yourself ? Don't think so— NIX
I think you added to much lightsources, however i do like the softness of the original— jbfkenpwns
same as others, i love also the original one more smoother.— sikret7238
cross dresser at college
Someone posted a photo from a college class assignment and the whole board piled on with 'ugly as fuck'
A quick, low-effort image-share thread in the Photography subforum of Art & Design, where user penguinmessiah posted a photo (framed as being 'for a class') of a cross-dresser at their college, noting most classmates didn't realize what was going on. The replies are short, blunt reactions ranging from calling it funny to 'evil' to 'creepy' and 'ugly as fuck' — pretty typical of the crude, dismissive humor common on the forum at the time. No real drama or lasting notability beyond being a snapshot of the board's casual mean-spirited banter circa 2009.
it was for a class... but yea still funny, most people had no clue what was going on.— penguinmessiah
UGLY AS FUCK. ( all 3 )— conTagious
Wow, class or not that's still fuckin' creepy.— Four20
Corsica 2008 - Tsuki's Travel Photography
A cheat-scene forum stops to admire cave photos and cloud shots from a member's Corsica vacation.
Member Tsuki shared a set of personal travel photographs taken in Corsica in July 2008 with a Kodak Easyshare point-and-shoot, hosted via a DeviantArt gallery (username Enkiii). The thread is a simple, warm compliment thread in the Photography subforum of Art & Design, with regulars and even a founder and retired/respected members dropping by to praise the scenery, especially a cave shot and a bird photo. It's a small, wholesome pocket of the forum far removed from the site's gaming/cheat-scene reputation.
I love the cave one, nice pictures mate— Hatred!
wow those are really nice pictures dude amazing place— TuxifieD
That bird, is HAWT!— Staminix
PaynE's Photography Thread: "Some pics."
The cheat-scene forum's toughest crowd goes soft over some tinypic sunset shots.
In the Art & Design > Photography subforum, longtime member PaynE posted three tinypic-hosted photos simply to "try to get this shit active again," and it worked — a string of regulars piled in with genuine compliments on the skies, colors, and composition. For a board otherwise built around game hacks, giveaways, and drama, this thread stands out as a quiet, sincere moment where hardened members like Don Ruski and Botoxx dropped the usual bravado to admire someone's photography. It's a small but warm slice of the community's human side between all the cheat talk.
Hope these please your eyes.— PaynE
Damn, these are amazing. Respect if these are actually yours :).— Don Ruski
wow chearing me up <3 thanks!— Botoxx
Swiss Paradise
A quiet landscape shot from Switzerland gets a round of forum love, one cloud critique, and a Fresno diss.
In the Photography subforum under Art & Design, member tom2strobl posted a landscape photo taken in Switzerland, linking to his DeviantArt for more. The thread is a small, easygoing gallery reply chain spanning June to December 2009, with regulars dropping quick compliments, one mild compositional critique about the lack of a focus point, and a passing jab comparing it favorably to Fresno. Nothing dramatic here — just a low-key, friendly moment of forum members appreciating a nice nature shot.
Nice thats way better than fresno— Dank
There's no focus point in the image unless you want the viewer to look at the top where the clouds is— mad tag
thats a very nice nature picture you made! the clouds are beautiful!— fearblaster
Opium Poppies
A member posts photos of homegrown opium poppies in the Photography subforum, and the thread just... goes there.
User ADDlCTlON shared photos of poppies they grew at home, describing them as real opium poppies and casually discussing consumption methods, strains, and sourcing seeds. Other regulars chimed in with questions and half-joking commentary about opium-producing countries and buying seeds from hardware stores. It's a small, weirdly candid thread that captures the anything-goes vibe of the forum's Art & Design/Photography section, where posts didn't always stay strictly on topic.
home grown goodness— ADDlCTlON
yes, if they look exactly like that they are real opium poppies ... don't eat more then 3 pods at a time— ADDlCTlON
Lawl you can buy poppy seeds in B&Q for 50p a pack.— Scratch
sMiz's First-Ever Photos Thread
A self-proclaimed camera newbie posts his first shots — and half the forum refuses to believe it's true.
In the Photography subforum under Art & Design, member sMiz shared a DeviantArt gallery claiming these were literally the first photos he'd ever taken with a camera. The thread turned into a wave of genuine compliments on the quality of the shots, with several members asking what camera/lens he used, and one poster (fufu) pushing back with 'I call bs' after noticing one image looked signed and older, suggesting more experience than claimed. Despite the mild skepticism, the tone stayed friendly and encouraging, with regulars and even a Smod (Kimmi) chiming in with praise.
Edit: I call bs...Taken a year ago and used multiple lenses, but I could be wrong. If so very good— fufu
That is purely beautiful.— timem604
Very nice pictures, what cam and what lens? They are looking very professional, but you say you never used a cam before oO— MaMafia
Psilocybe :P
A guy named ADDlCTlON posts a photo of magic mushrooms he grew, and the Photography subforum turns into a shroom appreciation thread
Posted in the Art & Design > Photography subforum, ADDlCTlON shares photos of psilocybe mushrooms he grew himself, framed loosely as a photography post. The thread quickly drifts away from any artistic critique into members swapping stories about tripping on shrooms, casual drug-use banter, and a bit of harm-reduction advice tossed around. It ends with a member offering to sell spore prints via private message. A snapshot of the freewheeling, no-moderation vibe typical of that era's gaming forums, where a 'photography' thread could casually become a drug culture hangout.
magic mushrooms its a decent pic i took awhile back— ADDlCTlON
Photo isnt artistic but it sure is fun :D— hEndr!x
ill sell you a spore print from this strain. ;) pm me broskie— ADDlCTlON
Aviation Pictures by d3r_bLuB
A member climbs into a Diamond Katana over the Alps and just... shares the view — turns out fkn0wned had a soft side.
In the Photography subforum, member d3r_bLuB (a real pilot flying with an Austrian flying club) posted a growing series of high-resolution aerial and airport photos taken over the Alps, Innsbruck, and Augsburg, along with cockpit shots and plane-spotting pics from his local airfield. The thread is a rare, wholesome detour from the site's usual gaming/warez fare, with regulars and even a banned member praising the photo quality and asking about the planes. It ended up pinned by a moderator ('the unnamed') as a standout community post.
Great dude, just keep posting, love it. Awesome. *PINNED*— the unnamed
Really amazing. Makes me want to learn to fly.— fridsade
Were you the pilot?— Lukeyyy
SAFE HARBOR! — mr_juice's Photos of an Abandoned Nuclear Plant
A member posts photos of a scrapped nuclear cooling tower in the middle of Washington State, and the forum just says 'that's big as shit.'
In the Photography subforum, mr_juice shares a set of flickr photos of the Satsop nuclear power plant site (dubbed 'Safe Harbor'), an abandoned/never-completed cooling tower complex in Satsop, WA, including a shot of himself for scale. The thread is low-key and pleasant, with members mostly reacting to the sheer size of the towers, joking around, and going on mild tangents (dick jokes, wanting to visit, radiation jokes). It got occasional bumps over several months, a typical slow-burn photo-share thread rather than anything dramatic.
that is fucking big as shit— QuaXz
Man, why would you want to go there...The Radiationz gonna get ya!— Staminix
BUMP. Got my Reason.— ZoaQ
f0wh's Volcanic Island Sunset Photo
One member's vacation sunset shot turns into a mellow little photography-forum love-in
In the Photography subforum of Fkn0wned's Art & Design section, longtime crew member f0wh shared a sunset photo taken on a volcanic island near his family's vacation house, posting the original alongside a contrasted and a lightened edit for comparison. The thread is a quiet, feel-good gallery post rather than any drama — regulars filed in over several months just to compliment the shot, with near-unanimous agreement that the unedited original was the best version. A nice snapshot of the softer, hobbyist side of the forum tucked between all the gaming and 'cheat scene' talk.
Love the way you framed the sunset between the hills and the edge, nicely done— JuKeZ
Contrast made my eyes bleed but Orig looks nice— Bonkers
gorgeous just gorgeous yea the first is the best looks like a relaxing place— jbfkenpwns
I is a photographer. (TheStorey's photo showcase)
A member posts a wall of Flickr photos, gets accused of ripping them, and claps back with full EXIF and lighting notes.
In the Photography subforum, member TheStorey shared a set of personal Flickr photos to show off his work. Regulars Junnyerr and pikachu razzed him with jokes, while banned member rawrnine accused the photos of being stolen/ripped rather than his own. TheStorey defended himself by posting a proof shot complete with camera settings, lighting setup, and links to his Flickr, Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook, closing with a pointed jab about not calling people thieves. It's a small, good-natured slice of forum life — hobbyist creative sharing mixed with the community's typical trash-talk banter.
Bullshit I is a letter.— Junnyerr
This stuff is ripped most likely, it looks like hes a proffessional.— rawrnine
Not nice to call people thieves.— TheStorey
Need Help Fixing a Family Photo
Someone's uncle had bad lighting in a family photo — the forum tried to help, gently, in 2009.
A small, low-key thread in the Photography subforum where member Ninjade asked for advice on fixing a shadow and bad lighting in a photograph belonging to their dad, taken of an uncle and his kids. Other members, including Puree and spammingman, offered basic Photoshop tips (dodge/burn) and asked to see the image, while a guest poster chimed in on the technical limits of fixing single-frame shadows. A wholesome, ordinary slice of forum life with no drama — just neighbors helping with a family photo problem.
The lighting is coming from the wrong side, and there's a shadow on my uncle's face.— Ninjade
Hmmm, if you have the digital image you could touch it up with photoshop with the burn/dodge tool.— Puree
Im sure that you cant. because the picture is 1 frame, not multiple frames.— Guest_JamehGould_*
90 Amazing California Pictures
PopTart drops 90 gorgeous California wallpaper pics — and someone still finds a way to make it weird about a stadium.
A simple photography-sharing thread in the Art & Design > Photography section, where forum fixture PopTart posted a Photobucket preview and a Rapidshare download link to a folder of 90 California landscape photos taken by a friend, pitched as wallpaper material. The replies are low-key and pleasant by forum standards — people asking about the camera used, praising specific shots, and one member asking permission to use them as signature stock images. A very ordinary, wholesome corner of the site compared to its warez/cheat-scene reputation.
sun is like a lamp there— JuMx
the 1st and 4th one make me soo hard. I don't do much photography but I don't like the stadium one...its a stadium. I like nature much more— Repulse
Flower Picture (Shwager's Photography Post)
A blurry cellphone flower pic and three replies — small-town forum charm at its finest.
A quiet, low-key post in the Photography subforum where longtime member Shwager shared an old cellphone photo of a flower for critique. A couple of regulars, including admin ap3x and Graphics Crew member pheonixinwater, chimed in with light banter about the photo's blur and unexpectedly large size for a phone camera. It's a small, friendly slice of everyday forum life rather than any major event — the kind of casual, low-stakes thread that filled the Art & Design section between the bigger drama and giveaways elsewhere on the site.
I don't know what it is about this picture but to me it seems... blurry.— ap3x
That's huge for a cellphone picture lol nice flower ;D— pheonixinwater
Well thank you baby ;D— Shwager
New D60 Shoots! — a brother's photography, shared with pride
A forum vet posts his brother's Nikon D60 shots from Belgium and gets nothing but praise (and one very confused jail joke).
In the Photography subforum, longtime member Bernie L. Madoff shared a batch of photos taken by his brother with a Nikon D60, all shot in Belgium, hosted via old Facebook CDN links. The thread is a rare quiet, wholesome corner of the site — replies are almost entirely compliments on image quality and composition, with an admin asking if the photographer had a Flickr. One reply threw in a jab referencing Bernie having been in jail, met with a shrug and a return to the photos. A low-key, well-liked showcase thread rather than any drama.
has jail actually made you that gay sorry, /ontopic: really good quality stuff. Does your brother have a flickr photostream by any chance?— ap3x
man i wish i could take pics like this.— QuaXz
A pic i took this summer
A member shares a summer photo, gets mild praise for the scenery... then someone gravedigs it three months later and it gets locked
In the Photography subforum of Art & Design, longtime member f0wh posted a personal photograph (hosted on TinyPic) taken over the summer of 2009, asking for feedback. Several regulars complimented the scenery but noted the center of the image was blurry. The thread limped along for months with sparse replies, including one member joking he'd mistaken 'Photography' for 'Pornography,' until a September gravedig prompted PaynE to lock the topic.
Shit I thought the forum title way "Pornography" Waist of my damn time— v0nz
lol Gravedig... /closed— PaynE
a camera FOR photography
A cheat-scene forum's Photography subboard, where a member just wanted a decent $50 camera for Christmas 2009
In the Photography corner of Fkn0wned's Art & Design section, longtime member slingblade asked for recommendations on an affordable (under $50) camera to get into photography, posted on Christmas night 2009. Two other regulars, BONxFIRE and h4voCK, chimed in with basic brand advice (Canon/Nikon) and a reality check that decent cameras rarely come that cheap unless used. A small, low-drama, everyday exchange typical of the forum's quieter hobby subforums outside the gaming/cheat talk.
im interested in photography, i've always liked taking pictures, i find myself in picture perfect moments all the time— slingblade
you can't find any camera nowadays for less than 50 bucks unless it's used, old, and obsolete.— h4voCK
Jake Photography!
A member moonlighting as a freelance gig photographer shares his portfolio — and gets exactly one heartfelt reply.
In the Photography subforum under Art & Design, member 'mad tag' shared a small selection of his own photography work, mentioning he ran his own photography company and had previously freelanced shooting gigs at a rock club. He linked out to his Flickr and a self-designed Myspace page for promo purposes since the forum's image tags weren't cooperating. The thread got one enthusiastic reply from a banned member before quietly closing out — a tiny, genuine slice of forum life outside the usual gaming/cheat talk.
I own my run my own photography company and this is a selection of my work...— mad tag
Fucking amazing man. Mad Tag, you're my hero. <3— Industry
Post your favorite pictures!
f0wh kicks off a photo-sharing thread with... a forest pic from Google Images
A simple, low-key thread in the Photography subforum where longtime crew member f0wh invites others to share favorite pictures, either personal snaps or ones found online. He leads by example with a forest photo pulled from an old image-hosting link. The thread archived with only the opening post visible, giving a glimpse of the casual, low-stakes content that filled the Art & Design section between the site's more chaotic giveaway and cheat-scene activity.
From www.images.google.com or your personal snaps ;)— f0wh
Heres my favorite forest picture:— f0wh
Photography Rules (by SNK)
The rulebook that kept fkn0wned's photography corner from turning into a NSFW dumping ground.
A pinned, locked rules post for the Photography subforum under Art & Design, posted by Database Admin SNK back in December 2009. It laid out basic community standards: no porn/NSFW or shocking images, no ripping other people's photo work without credit, no low-effort one-word replies, no harassment or racist content, and no sketchy referral/image-host links — photos had to be uploaded and shown directly in-thread using proper BBCode. A pretty mundane but telling artifact of how the staff tried to keep a niche creative section orderly amid an otherwise rowdy gaming/cheat forum.
Posting pornography, NSFW (Not Safe For Work) material or shocking images. Don't do it, it doesn't make you cool.— SNK
We don't wanna see one word posts like "Nice", "Cool"— SNK
Sony Cybershot DSC-H7 Manual Request
One lonely post in the Photography board: anybody got the manual for this old Sony point-and-shoot?
A short, quiet thread in fkn0wned's Photography subforum where member c0re (posting under handle Firemanzzz) asked if anyone had a manual for the Sony Cybershot DSC-H7, having struck out searching elsewhere online. No replies followed. A small, mundane moment tucked between the site's usual giveaway hype and cheat-scene chatter, showing the forum also hosted ordinary help requests.
I'm looking for a manual on the Sony cybershot Dsc-h7. I've looked quite a few places online but have failed to find one.— c0re (Firemanzzz)
