SOTW #20 Winner - [FkN]MuusiK^
The week [FkN]MuusiK^ took the crown in the GFX Basement's signature contest — and got called out for ripping it soon after.
This is a Hall of Fame post from the Sig Of The Week (SOTW) subforum, a recurring GFX Basement contest where members submitted custom signature graphics for community bragging rights. Round #20 was won by [FkN]MuusiK^, whose showcased sig and 'reward' badge were posted by staff member Niggorex with a brief admin nod of approval. Notably, a moderator edit later flagged the winning entry as ripped (i.e., not original work) from someone named IKILL3RI, a small but telling glimpse into the GFX drama and rip-accusations common in that scene.
Well Done— Niggorex
Reason for edit: IKILL3RI Ripped.— mem0rex
SOTW Winner #26 - c01Dcu7
The week GFX crown went to c01Dcu7, filed away in the Hall of Fame forever
A short, formal Hall of Fame post from the GFX Basement's 'Sig Of The Week' contest, announcing c01Dcu7 as the 26th winner. Posted by GFX staffer pato, it includes the winning signature showcase, a reward sig for the winner to use, and a brief admin congratulations. Notable mainly as a small time-capsule of the site's graphic design community and its recurring contest culture — and for the fact that pato's account had switched from GFX staff to 'Banned' by the time the page was archived.
Good Job on winning this weeks SOTW.— pato

SOTW Winner #25 - MuusiK^
A Star Wars-themed sig earns MuusiK^ a third SOTW crown in the GFX Basement's hall of fame.
This is an archived Hall of Fame entry from Fkn0wned.Com's 'Sig Of The Week' contest, announcing MuusiK^ as the winner of SOTW #25 back in August 2007. The post, made by forum member/moderator Malware, showcases the winning signature (a Star Wars-styled graphic) and includes a short admin comment praising the design as worthy of the member's third win. It's a small, quiet snapshot of the site's GFX/signature-making subculture rather than any major drama.
This is one great looking signature really worthy the three wins!— Malware
SOTW Winner #28 - Pato
Round 28 of the forum's signature-making contest crowns Pato — announced by a co-manager who'd later end up banned.
This is a Hall of Fame archive post from Fkn0wned's GFX-adjacent 'Sig Of The Week' contest, formally announcing Pato as the 28th winner. The post follows the standard SOTW template: a winner banner, a reward signature graphic, a showcase image of the winning CS:S-themed sig, and a brief admin congratulations. Posted by 'Shifty,' a co-manager at the time — notable in retrospect because a later snapshot of the same page shows their account status changed to Banned, a small time-capsule detail of forum drama playing out between archive crawls.
Good Job on winning this weeks SOTW.— Shifty
SOTW Winner #34 - Shifty.
The GFX Basement crowned its 34th Sig Of The Week champ — a Star Wars-themed showcase from Shifty.
This is a short Hall Of Fame announcement post from Fkn0wned.Com's GFX Basement, where a weekly 'Sig Of The Week' (SOTW) contest recognized the site's best signature graphic designers. Manager Niggorex posted to declare member Shifty. the winner of round 34, awarding them a special winner's signature banner and showcasing their entry (a Star Wars-themed piece). It's a small but telling artifact of the site's active graphic design subculture, run alongside the cheat database and forum sections.

SOTW Winner #37 - Futerix
Deep in the GFX Basement archives: the week Futerix took the Sig Of The Week crown.
A brief Hall Of Fame announcement post from Fkn0wned's Sig Of The Week competition, naming Futerix as the winner of round #37. Posted by longtime co-manager 'Shifty' (member #6, joined August 2006), whose own status flips between Co-Manager and Banned across the archived snapshots — a small glitch in the site's history. The post itself is sparse, just a placeholder for the winning signature image that no longer loads, typical of these old GFX showcase threads.
