How to start? (coding, crypting, computers)
A newbie asks how to get into coding and crypting — and the old guard hands him a mini programming-languages 101.
Member Emrys, a longtime Graphics Crew member, asks the Support board for advice on getting started with coding and 'crypting' and learning more about computers generally. Replies range from the classic 'google it' to a genuinely thorough breakdown from lam3r comparing PHP, Java, C/C++/C#, and Visual Basic, noting that popular crypters of the era mixed C++ stubs with VB GUIs. Admin ap3x chimes in recommending books alongside Google, name-dropping learning iPhone coding that way. A calm, helpful little snapshot of the forum's tech-support culture and the crypting/coding subculture around it.
Google is your best friend, although books are a great resource they are a bit dull.— ap3x
crypting is quite difficult and for experienced programmers only in my opinion (if you ever want a truly FUD crypter...)— lam3r
google and books has taught me everything. networking is a good place to start.— lulraep
Block Websites
Gabe just wants his little brother off The-West and Grepolis, and half the forum shows up with hosts-file tips and 'FUUUUUUUUU that should work'
A member named Gabe asks in Support how to block specific websites (not IPs) using Windows Firewall or AVG, so his younger brother can't access browser games like The-West and Grepolis. Regulars and staff chip in with suggestions ranging from parental controls and router-level site blocking to editing the Windows hosts file, with admin ap3x and member Shadow14l trading corrections on the exact syntax. It's a low-drama, everyday tech-support thread typical of the forum's General/Support section, ending inconclusively with Gabe noting he's on a Firefox beta and Windows 7 compatibility is unclear.
FUUUUUUUUU that should work— [FkN] ap3x
I want to block access to certain websites. e.g.: my little brother plays with: The-West , Grepolis , etc.— Gabe
Windows 7: Where Do I Even Get This Thing?
A noob asks how to download Windows 7 in 2009 — and accidentally sparks a mini turf war over what 'Support' is even for
A member named b3njamin94 asked in the Support section where to download Windows 7 and how to dual-boot/partition it alongside Mac OS or Windows XP SP3. A brief side debate broke out over whether the question even belonged in Support, quickly settled by a couple of senior/respected members. Other regulars chimed in with the standard era-appropriate suggestions (torrent clients and search sites) before one member suggested just buying it. Pretty mundane by forum standards, but a good little time capsule of late-2009 tech habits and community pecking order.
This section is named "Support" he is asking for support, his post is very relevant to this section.— xXHeistXx
No need to discuss whether this is the right forum or not. (It is the right Place).— ZoaQ
Support Forum — General Help Desk
Broken bootloaders, botched PayPal deals, and 'how do I use this crypter' — the everyday chaos of the Fkn0wned help desk.
This is the index page of Fkn0wned's Support subforum, a general catch-all where members posted whatever they were stuck on — computer errors like missing NTLDR files, questions about game saves, Photoshop and GFX help, and a steady stream of tech-support-adjacent requests tied to the site's cheat/hacking culture (crypters, keyloggers, stealers, proxies, SQL injection questions). Regulars like Phenex and NiEDEZ show up constantly, either asking for help or answering it, giving the board its everyday rhythm. The mix of mundane ('New Mobo', 'Safe mode') and shadier ('FUD Crypter', 'BruteSteam Banned') threads captures the dual nature of the site: part ordinary early-2010s internet forum, part cheat-scene hangout.
Do NOT ignore your thread— Phenex
Hwo Help , reward , Big Job With Money !— Coca Cola
Support: "Anyone willing to help? I want to learn some basic stuff"
A noob asked Fkn0wned to teach him to hack MySpace accounts — the vets answered with phishing 101 and botnet jokes.
A low-post-count member named gleen76 posted in the Support subforum asking for someone to teach him account-hacking basics, offering fkn0wned points and Teamviewer access in exchange. Forum regulars Olie22, MillerLite, and Skippy replied with casual, half-joking suggestions rather than real tutorials, treating the request as fairly routine for the board. The thread captures the site's early cheat-scene culture where 'helper' requests, points-based bartering, and dark humor about hacking were commonplace.
Anyone know how to hack myspace accounts, and willing to teach me?— gleen76
Phishing is your best option unless your good with botnets lol.— MillerLite
Winows Partition Corrupted?
FkN admin nukes his own Vista partition messing with Linux, then just... buys Windows legit.
Site admin ap3x posts to the Support board after botching a dual-boot setup — he removed Fedora 10 and GRUB using a Linux LiveCD's gParted, resized his Vista partition in the process, and broke the boot. Fellow members thejah and -Alex chime in with MBR/repair advice, with -Alex noting the same thing happened to him during a partition resize. ap3x ultimately sidesteps the fix entirely by buying a legit copy of Windows Home Premium straight from Microsoft and reinstalling, closing the thread as resolved.
so IMO backup everything and clear the MBR. (Resets your HDD)— -Alex
I ended up buying the Legit Home Premium from the Microsoft website, product key and everything.— ap3x
Execute files in a .exe file
A member wants his .exe to launch other files — a tiny, mundane VB.net question that's now a little time capsule of the forum's coding corner.
A short, low-drama support thread from the Fkn0wned Forum's General/Support section where a member named Charlie FkN Provider asked how to make one .exe file execute or open other files (like a .cfg or another .exe) using VB.net. MOTM-tagged member silentrock replied asking for clarification on the use case, comparing it to opening a file from within a text editor. The thread cuts off there, unresolved — a small, ordinary snapshot of everyday programming help-seeking on the forum.
How do I execute other files in an .exe file? vb.net?— Charlie FkN Provider
So using VB.net you want to Open another file?— silentrock
Weird Computer Fan Noises (Resolved)
A busted PC fan, a Best Buy horror story, and a promise to buy seven fans just to be safe.
A short, low-stakes tech support thread in the General/Support area where a member asked about a noisy computer fan and whether it could be fixed or balanced. givenchy shared an anecdote from working at Best Buy about a client's unbalanced fan being too much hassle to repair, and pointed to a cheap replacement fan on Newegg. The thread's starter decided buying a new one was easier, thanked everyone, and asked for the thread to be closed — a quick, mundane slice of forum life.
Oh wow. i should get like 7 fans. my computer will never be hot ever again.— Squabalobadingdong
the noise was sooooo loud but they didnt even tried to repair it because it's a waste of time.— givenchy
name for this program ?
A forum regular casually offers up a "cracked version" of some unnamed program — no big deal, right?
A short Support-board thread where a member asked for the name of an unspecified program. Longtime member Cl0ud chimes in offering to check if they have a cracked version lying around, wrapped in the usual signature shout-outs to other members. Pretty mundane by fkn0wned standards — the kind of low-stakes help-desk exchange that filled the Support section between the bigger drama threads.
I may have a cracked version, but idk if it work— Cl0ud
"stupid mistake" support thread
A user's slip-up in Support gets quietly patched up with a PM.
A short Support-board thread on Fkn0wned where a member owned up to some kind of mix-up or error, referred to only as a 'stupid mistake.' Staff member BlackHawk (an Extasyy Elite / FkN coder) stepped in and resolved it privately via PM rather than airing details in the open thread. Typical of the low-key, informal way small issues got handled on the forum, with staff quietly fixing things behind the scenes.
PM'd with the account. otter<3 <3— BlackHawkᴴᴰ
AOC Monitor, opinions?
A member wanted monitor advice — and got a genuinely wholesome, off-topic thread out of it.
A casual Support-board thread where a member asked fellow forum users for their opinions on AOC monitors before making a purchase. Rather than cheats or hacking talk, this one was just ordinary hardware chit-chat, the kind of everyday tech-support thread that filled out the quieter corners of the forum between the drama and the gaming discussion. A small, low-key exchange typical of the site's General/Support section.
