All World of Warcraft Guides! Includes everything!

A megathread of WoW guides that turned into a 50+ reply parade of 'ty' and 'unhide'

This was a compilation tutorial thread in the Red Light District's Tutorials subforum, gathering World of Warcraft guides into one place (originally posted by a user called HaSh, per replies referencing them). By the time this third page rolls around, the actual content is long buried under dozens of low-effort bump replies from members thanking the poster, asking to 'unhide' the hidden content, or just posting one-word reactions. It's a classic example of an old-forum resource thread kept alive purely by drive-by gratitude posts rather than discussion.

Sweet post HaSh, should help some of the newer players.— Nerve

tysm been lookin everywhere for this— Superzxoz

Crack an MD-5 Hash Tutorial

The thread where Fkn0wned learned to break MD5 hashes wide open — and half the replies were just 'thanks bro'

Posted in the Tutorials subforum of the Red Light District, Darkcha0s (later hidden behind a spoiler tag) shared a guide on cracking MD5 password hashes. Staff member typeusernamehere chimed in with links to online hash-cracking lookup sites as a shortcut for single hashes. The thread mostly filled up with two pages of one-line 'thanks' and 'nice' replies typical of a popular utility post, plus the usual gallery of long-forgotten member handles and Xfire tags.

Awesome job on this one Dark— Don Ruski

Runescape Millions Guide

A 'guaranteed gold' Runescape guide that half the thread swore was a keylogger in disguise

A December 2007 thread in the Tutorials section of the Red Light District where a member posted a supposed money-making method for Runescape, claiming to have made 300k before quitting the game. Most replies were just 'unhide' posts chasing the hidden content, but suspicion quickly grew that the downloadable file was actually a keylogger rather than a real guide, sparking a back-and-forth about the .exe extension and a staff member confirming they'd scanned it themselves. It's a classic snapshot of the era's forum culture: low-effort bumps for hidden links, casual paranoia about malware, and off-topic jokes derailing a mundane gaming tutorial thread.

I'm alost certan that's a keylogger. ... Because to be honest, guides don't usually consist as a .exe file. Nice try?— Guru_Danny

No, youre fucking retarded, I downloaded it and its an EXE, I scanned it, but it doesnt seem to be a virus.— HaSh

Tutorials Board (Red Light District) - Fkn0wned.com

From CS demo-to-movie converters to homemade pipe bombs and 'hacking PayPal' — this board's index was the internet's early-2010s anarchist's cookbook, gaming-forum edition.

This is a board index for the 'Tutorials' sub-forum under Fkn0wned.com's Red Light District section, listing dozens of user-submitted guide threads rather than one single discussion. Topics ranged wildly from Counter-Strike/CSS skill guides and Photoshop DVDs to internet-speed tweaks, WoW and Runescape guides, and dual-booting Mac OS X, alongside far more troubling how-to threads on scamming Steam/PayPal accounts and making explosives (pipe bombs, C-1, beer can mortars) — all sitting casually next to a pinned '1000 Tutorials' megathread. It captures the loose, unmoderated 'anything goes' culture typical of mid-2000s cheat/gaming forums, where staff like HaSh, Janza, DCLXVI, and LoRd Ragealot were prolific tutorial posters. The mix of harmless nerdy content and genuinely dangerous or illicit material side-by-side is the defining, slightly unsettling flavor of this page.

C-1 Plastic Explosive - What the fuck? It's C-FUCKING-1— [Supervisor] Janza

How to: Scam Steam Accounts.— Eckos

How to: Scam Steam Accounts (mega-thread, page 13)

A 13-page monument to shady Steam account tricks — this is the tail end of it, still getting bumped years later.

This is the closing stretch of a long-running, sprawling tutorial thread in the 'Red Light District > Tutorials' subforum, dedicated to methods for scamming Steam accounts. By page 13 the original 'how-to' content had mostly given way to short bump/thanks replies and quoting of an older post (attributed to a user named Eckos) claiming a combined method that reportedly netted 18 accounts in one day. The thread illustrates the site's darker, less moderated corner where account theft and scamming tips circulated openly, a notable contrast to the site's cheat-database and gaming focus elsewhere. Low-effort one-word replies ('thx', 'ty', 'right') dominate this page, typical of a thread that had become a running community fixture rather than active discussion.

This is the method I use. Its kind of like a bunch of tutorials combined to make one super pwnage way to get accounts. My friend and I got 18 accounts IN ONE DAY using this method.— Eckos (quoted)

Hacking: The Art of Exploitation [ILLUSTRATED] - Tutorials Megathread

A five-page thread of forum regulars quietly farming replies to unhide a shared copy of a famous hacking book.

This was the tail end of a long-running Tutorials thread in the Red Light District section where a copy of the book 'Hacking: The Art of Exploitation [ILLUSTRATED]' was being shared, with content hidden behind reply-gated 'unhide' tags. The page mostly shows a string of low-effort bump posts from members thanking the OP or just posting to reveal the hidden material, spanning late January into early February 2008. It's a small snapshot of the era's classic 'reply to unlock' download culture rather than any real discussion of the book's content.

you knowz its gonna be cack but ah well unhiiiide..— Dahjeeling

The '1000 Tutorials' Megathread

One thread, five pages, a thousand text files: the internet's entire mid-2000s how-to knowledge dumped in one post.

A sprawling dump-thread in the Red Light District's Tutorials subforum where a since-banned member ('HaSh') posted an enormous single-post archive of hundreds of old .txt tutorial files covering everything from Windows XP tweaks and registry hacks to IRC, DC++, FTP servers, disc-burning, phreaking, and general early-2000s 'warez scene' file-sharing know-how. It reads like a time capsule of a specific era of internet culture — the kind of catch-all grab-bag thread every forum with a 'Red Light District' section had, mixing legit PC tips with sketchy old-school hacking/downloading lore. Replies were minimal and low-effort ('show please', 'nice', 'cool thx'), suggesting most visitors just came to browse the file list rather than discuss it.

show please— d0m3sh0t

cool thx— Bonkers

How to Hack PayPal! (Tutorial Thread)

A bold tutorial-forum promise that PayPal-payable stuff could be 'hacked' — classic Red Light District bravado.

A short post in the Tutorials subforum of the Red Light District section, claiming to offer a method for obtaining PayPal-payable products without paying. Posted by forum regular DCLXVI, a high-post-count member who was banned at some point. Typical of the sketchy, edgy tutorial threads that populated this corner of the site, mixing bravado with dubious claims rather than substantive content.

How to hack paypal-payable products! Thanks!— DCLXVI
