New Points System Installed!!

The day Fkn0wned turned posting into a economy — points, lottery tickets, and a black market to trade them.

CEO TuxifieD (posting as c0ke) announces a new forum points system where members earn points for posting in certain sections, with plans for a shop letting users buy lottery tickets, edit titles/display names, and eventually purchase perks like 1K Club status or VIP from Source Industries. A dedicated points-trading subforum was rolled out almost immediately after. The replies are short, upbeat reactions from regulars hyped about the new feature, especially the idea of being able to edit other members' titles.

we have installed a points system, you now gain points for posting topics and replies in certain sections.— TuxifieD

I have made a forum for trading points. You can trade anything for FkN points in this forum.— TuxifieD

LOL! Change other members user title.. that could be fun.— Sideways

The 'Bypass VAC2, Play Banned' Thread

The post that promised banned players a way back onto secure servers — and got quoted for years after.

A 2007 thread from Gametration.com (a precursor community to fkn0wned/thec0re) started by admin KingDavid, cross-posting a VAC2-bypass method that had been circulating on other forums like MPCforums. It reads as a classic early cheat-scene 'community knowledge sharing' post — long technical steps, screenshots hosted on Imageshack, credit given to the original source site. The replies are short, appreciative, and mostly from members who admit they don't actually have banned accounts to test it on. The page also preserves site-history noise: an admin announcement about the forum's IPB 3.0 upgrade, plus mentions of later Fkn0wned releases (a Modern Warfare 2 pub hack, a Combat Arms hack), showing this thread sat right at the hinge between the old Gametration branding and the fkn0wned era.

This has been posted on a few sites, please post what you have learned and any tips and tricks you have learned.— KingDavid

These guys really pwn ass. Thanks a lot!— AddiKT1ve

wow thats tight. dont got any banned account but good and usefull stuff.— deboy

News + Site Updates board (Fkn0wned.com)

The 2007 news feed of a cheat-scene forum — donation drives, drama over a trojan'd CSS hack, and a 'do not fuck with us' VIP warning shot.

This is the News + Site Updates index for Fkn0wned.com, a mid/late-2000s gaming and cheat-scene forum, running from roughly August through December 2007. It's the classic admin-broadcast board: newsletters, points-system rollouts, a site 'face lift' and 'Version 6' relaunch, Member of the Month threads, donation drives, and a running hacking montage thread hyped as 'best of the best hackers.' It also captures scene drama typical of the era — a report that the 'Holzed' CSS hack contained a trojan, a thread on bypassing VAC2 bans, and staff (c0ke, TuxifieD, Niggorex, tKeR, Shifty) posting site milestones like 150,000 posts and 70,000 members. The trailing site-map fragments show the forum evolving over the years from a Counter-Strike/console cheat community into a broader 'warez and leeching' hub before it eventually went dark.

Do not fuck with us.— c0ke

Best of the best hackers!— c0ke

MOTM: October Winner

Laptops takes October's Member of the Month for sheer volume of give-aways, warez, and porn dumps.

A staff-run monthly announcement thread crowning 'Laptops' as October's Member of the Month, with a custom signature and a copy of The Orange Box as the prize. Staff cite his prolific posting of give-aways and adult content as the deciding factor, noting it was a tight race against runner-up Ernie, with no third place due to short notice. The thread then opens voting chatter for the November title, with regulars and staff (including Co-Manager 'Riggy14'/Shifty and Supervisor DCLXVI) weighing in on the results.

Congratulations Laptops You have won this months member of the month due to you're excessive give-aways/warez and porn.— Shifty

It was a close one this week, between Laptops and 1 other member.— Shifty

Closely behind Laptops was Ernie and we didn't have a 3rd because it was such short notice.— Shifty

Site Updates: SOTW Spotlight & the Great Warez Voting Experiment

The day fkn0wned/Gametration made you vote on a toplist just to peek at the warez section

A staff announcement from site admin c0ke (posting under the Gametration.com branding, forerunner of fkn0wned/thec0re) rolling out two changes: featuring the Sig Of The Week winner at the top of the forum index for extra clout, and a temporary scheme requiring members to vote for the site on an external toplist to unlock access to some of the warez boards, with 1k Club members and staff exempted. The tone is casual and self-aware, with c0ke acknowledging the voting gimmick was annoying but framed as a necessary evil to climb toplist rankings. A couple of regulars chime in lightly, one joking about the cheeky riddle-style password hint given for the day.

I'll Fight You— c0ke

Password hint for today: Guys have two of them, girls have none.— c0ke

Lol nice hint I already vote anyways so it dont make it any harder— rhion82

Fkn0wned.Com Ventrilo Server

The old voice-chat invite thread — plus one member's spectacular rage-quit on the way out the door.

A News + Site Updates thread advertising the site's Ventrilo voice server for members to hang out and chat. Most of the discussion is mundane — people asking why they can't connect — but it's memorable for a scorched-earth farewell post from a banned member unloading on the community before disappearing. Typical of the site's rough, unmoderated 'we moderate your fun' era.

Fkn0wned is really gay. I am leaving all you piece of shits.— Visual0n!

Is there a problem with the Ventrilo server still? I can't seem to connect.— skanza

The 'Holzed CSS Hack Trojan' Scare

A trojan panic, a false positive, and a shot fired at rival crew MPC — all over one Counter-Strike: Source hack.

An admin post announces that a widely-downloaded Counter-Strike: Source cheat called 'Holzed' had been flagged as potentially containing a trojan, only for the site to walk it back as a false positive after further inspection. The post apologizes to the cheat's author 'holz' for the scare, but takes a swing at rival community MPC ('Multiple Pussy Community') and a user named patrick for allegedly not helping resolve the confusion. It's a snapshot of the messy, trust-nobody atmosphere of the mid-2000s cheat scene, where false alarms about infected downloads and inter-forum rivalries were routine drama.

MPC aka Multiple Pussy Community, are a bunch of retards, but we apologize to holz as this was not an attempt to ruin your reputation— KingDavid

patrick refused to help anyone, apparently he does not care that everyone gets trojanned :/— KingDavid

September 22nd Newsletter - Fkn0wned.Com Weekly Update

The week Fkn0wned went legit-ish: h4ck-y0u.org alliance, a points economy, a lotto, and a hacking wiki all launched at once.

An admin newsletter post from KingDavid rounding up a busy week of site changes on Fkn0wned.Com (posted under the Gametration.com forum shell). It announces a new affiliation with h4ck-y0u.org, a new IRC channel, a freshly introduced points/reward system tied to posting, a member lotto, new forum rules drafted by C0ke, a community gaming playlist, weekend activity giveaways, and the launch of a hacking wiki. The tone is upbeat and promotional, staff hyping growth and rewarding the community; a couple of members reply approvingly.

This week has brought about many changes at Fkn0wned.Com.— KingDavid

nice i like the new addons to the site.— deboy

150,000 Posts and 70,000 Members Milestone Announcement

The day Fkn0wned.Com (Gametration) bragged about becoming one of the biggest cheat scene sites around

A staff milestone post from July 2007 announcing that the site had crossed 150,000 forum posts, 70,000 registered members, and roughly 250,000 logged downloads, framing the site as rapidly overtaking older, more established Counter-Strike cheat scene forums. The founder/admin explains that the real post count was actually higher since hidden or deleted posts weren't counted, and that the download counter had been reset a few months earlier. A couple of early members chime in with congratulations, giving a glimpse of the site's community pride in its own growth.

Fkn0wned.Com is turning into one of the biggest websites in the Counter-Strike cheat scene.— c0ke

good job man, hope we keep this up, even though i dont hack— tracyfan_1

Fkn0wned Donation Drive!

The site founder went broke keeping fkn0wned alive — and asked the community to bail it out

In December 2007, site owner TuxifieD (posting under that handle and later cross-posted under 'KingDavid' on a mirrored Gametration.com copy) announced personal financial trouble and appealed to the community to help cover hosting costs for fkn0wned and the wider 'Deception Network' of sites. Members were invited to donate cash via PayPal or Western Union, or donate sellable digital goods like Rapidshare/Steam accounts, with the biggest donor promised a staff position and special account award. The thread ran at least four pages, reflecting how much the community rallied (or argued) around keeping the site afloat.

Show me how much you love fkn0wned and how much you appreciate us.— TuxifieD

Help keep fkn0wned alive.— TuxifieD

Welcome Back Niggorex + Massive Site Updates (2007)

New header, archived flame forum, and a race to 200,000 posts — Gametration's big status update thread.

A Site Related news post from admin c0ke announcing that graphics guy Niggorex (aka Memorex) returned after frying his motherboard, delivering a new site header and nav menu. The post also announces the Flame Forum being archived due to spillover drama into the main boards, celebrates the site nearing 200,000 posts with a giveaway of Rapidshare accounts and Source Industries VIP passes, thanks 1000 Club buyers for funding server costs, floats the idea of a girls-only section, and previews a new weekly community newsletter covering cheat releases and site events.

Niggorex aka Memorex is back! Yep that's right, he's finally back.— c0ke

The main reason for this is that what was being said in the flame forum wasn't staying in the flame forum— c0ke

Fkn0wned Version 6 Launch Announcement

The day fkn0wned got its big v6 facelift — and everyone rushed in to say 'nice job'

This is the launch thread for 'Fkn0wned Version 6,' a site-wide relaunch featuring a new forum skin built by site manager Niggorex. The post asks members to report bugs or visual issues as the staff continued installing mods post-launch. Early replies are quick, positive reactions from members praising the new look, typical of a fresh site-update thread.

Welcome to Fkn0wned Version 6, Hope you like it we all have been working hard to get Fkn0wned Updated and I have just finished the NEW Skin.— Niggorex

The First (and Only?) fkn0wned.com Newsletter

The site's very first official newsletter: girl badges, a donation drive, and an advertising contest to build a 'leet' recruitment army.

A September 2007 announcement post from admin KingDavid (posting as 'tuxified') introducing the first official newsletter for fkn0wned.com, a precursor identity to the Gametration.com / thec0re cheat-scene forum. It rolled out a verified 'girls section' for confirmed female members, launched a September donation drive to fund site growth, and kicked off a two-week advertising contest where the top recruiter would be promoted to staff to lead a new advertising team. The lone reply came from Shifty, a heavily-posted member later marked as Banned, giving an early snapshot of the community's staff structure and site culture.

Welcome to the first OFFICIAL news letter from fkn0wned.com— KingDavid

Guys, invite your girlfriends to the forums!! This is a great way to get them involved with your gaming and a great way to show them how leet haxing is!!— KingDavid

The day Gametration told everyone to grab their headsets and hop on voice chat.

A brief site-news post from Gametration.com's early days, announcing the community's dedicated Ventrilo voice-chat server for members to hang out on. Posted by founding member c0ke (Member No. 1, a Super Mod) with a quick follow-up from NoNamE!, billed as the site's mascot. It's a small, functional announcement typical of the site's early cheat-scene community-building era, more about fostering hangout culture than any drama.
