Congrats United States - the Health Care Bill Debate

The day Fkn0wned's off-topic forum turned into a shouting match over Obamacare, complete with a poll and a Canadian smugness parade.

Founder TuxifieD kicked off a poll and discussion thread the night the US House passed the 2010 health care bill, asking members whether it was the right call. What followed was a fairly typical early-2010s forum political scrap: Canadian and British members ribbing the US over its healthcare system, some Americans defending the bill as necessary, and others (including a staff admin) blasting it as socialist overreach tied to racially-charged jabs at Obama voters. The poll showed a slim majority in favor, but the replies swung between earnest debate, national debt doom-saying, and outright trolling/slurs, capturing the site's rowdy, unmoderated 'Debate Hall'-adjacent culture.

Congrats United States, The House passed the Health Care bill. The question is, was it the right choice?— TuxifieD

Also, all of you that support the bill are fggots who don't know real brains from dog shit.— ap3x

Dear US Citizens and Residents, You are still are, and always will be faggots. That is all, Rest of the world.— inSpired

Jhurl's Testopro Sponsored Log

The time a cheat-scene gaming forum got sponsored by a testosterone-booster company and a founder logged his gains for everyone

Founder member jhurl started a daily log tracking his diet, workouts, and body stats while trialing 'TestoPRO', a testosterone-boosting supplement, as part of a sponsorship deal with supplement company Anabolic Innovations. The brand's rep 'TwinTowers' (Joe) and fellow rep 'donoh' showed up in the thread to promote the product, offer a member discount code, and cheer jhurl on, while regulars like TuxifieD, ap3x, ZoaQ, and Kimmi joked about the pill packaging and floated giving the AI reps a special forum rank. It's a snapshot of an early-2010s gaming/cheat forum branching out into bodybuilding-supplement sponsorship as a site monetization/partnership experiment.

this is turning into a beautiful partnership already— TwinTowers

make the shit look legit it looks like some kind of underground drug with all the black and blue shit— ZoaQ

Your testicles will not shrink lol, this is just giving you what your body wants.— TuxifieD

Recruiting Marketing Agents // SEO Specialists

Fkn0wned's founder tries to hire the forum's way into the big leagues — with an SEO recruiting drive, a promised resume reference, and a guy offering to make a commercial vid for weed money.

Founder TuxifieD posted an official recruitment call for marketing/SEO-minded members to help grow fkn0wned's traffic, offering to personally vouch as a professional reference for U.S.-based members with marketing degrees. The thread drew a wave of supportive replies, a few PM applications, and the usual mix of earnest suggestions (promo videos, MySpace pages, SEO theory from a college class) and jokes (billboards, a 'Fkn0wned tour' pitch from a touring band member, an 18-year-old offering to make a video for weed). A side exchange about whether the site was 'dead' briefly flared before Kimmi and others voiced support for the initiative.

We are looking for seriously skilled inviduals only who really can help fkn0wned grow to be a very large site.— TuxifieD

yo i can do anything you like all io need is some weed and im creative as hell— madmichael

the fuck are you talking about? It's' not dead at all, just all the spammers has left :)— f0wh

Shoutbox is Back!

The shoutbox returns — and r0ss's 4,000-shout addiction becomes the real headline.

A short, cheerful announcement thread from Skippy restoring Fkn0wned's shoutbox after it had been down, with a teased-but-unfinished site template update mentioned in passing. The real fun of the thread is the community ribbing member r0ss, who apparently racked up over 4,000 of the site's 110,000+ total shouts, earning him the affectionate nickname 'shout whore' from multiple regulars. It's a low-stakes, feel-good thread full of mods, VIPs, and longtime members chiming in with quick thanks and jokes.

Over 110,000 shouts with our top shouter r0ss, contributing over 4k shouts!— Skippy

R0SS IS A SHOUT WHORE— Hatred!

Proof that r0ss never shuts up— Jonesyyf

Site Changes (March 2009 Forum Restructure)

The day Fkn0wned gutted its dead forums and gave the artists a home

Founder TuxifieD announced a forum restructuring, cutting underused sections like Homework, Spartan Project, Geek Lounge, and Debate Hall, and adding a new Art & Design category with Graphics, Video Production, Graffiti/Drafting, and a revived Sig Of The Week contest forum. The community response was overwhelmingly positive, with members praising the cleanup of dead sections and excitement over the new creative forums, though a couple of members mourned the loss of Debate Hall and Geek Lounge. TuxifieD confirmed old content was backed up rather than deleted outright. The thread is a small but telling snapshot of how the site managed its identity shift toward art/design and away from some general chatter forums.

Down with the useless sections— f0wh

i would dominate the graffiti section ;) haha i like it— Shadovv

Its cool but debate hall and geek lounge were section that I liked... But oh well changes are good— beNnbeNn

Last Week to Purchase Lifetime VIP

TuxifieD's final countdown to lock in lifetime VIP before it's gone for good — the thread where members hyped, haggled, and one guy announced he was stuck in a Qatar airport lounge.

Founder TuxifieD posted an official announcement giving members their last chance to buy or upgrade to lifetime VIP membership before the site switched to monthly-only VIP going forward. A string of VIP members and staff chimed in to vouch for the deal, some current VIP holders sharing how membership had helped them get involved deeper in the community, while a few members questioned the price or joked around. An admin closed out the thread by plugging a PayPal purchase tutorial elsewhere on the forum.

Get it guys, its worth every penny ;)— Speedo

if lifetime Vip is so good why do you cut it down?— Berish

chrome approves of all your comments . guess what fuckers im in sand nigger land!!— [C]hrome

Business Expansion.

Fkn0wned's founder pitches investors and coders on going global — while a random reply casually brags about phishing 13 Steam accounts that week

Founder TuxifieD posted a December 2009 announcement seeking outside investors (offering a 50% stake) and cheat/hack coders to help Fkn0wned expand beyond its North American base, name-checking the site's Combat Arms EU hack launch as a growth lever. The replies are classic community banter: jokes about whether the site is 'clean' now, mild admin sarcasm about never answering PMs, and a member reassuring everyone Fkn0wned wouldn't 'sell out' after 3+ years running. The thread's vibe curdles a bit when one member casually mentions phishing Steam accounts as evidence of 'learning so much' from the site, undercutting the buttoned-up business talk.

Fkn0wned has been around for over 3 years, if we were gonna sell out, it woulda happened already this site is too much fun.— TuxifieD

i learnt how to phish a week ago and i phished 10 steam accs today lmao :L EDIT: 13 Now :)— JUSTiiNCREDiiBLE

So we're clean nao?— Unbeliveable

200,000 Members! (Fkn0wned Milestone Thread)

Fkn0wned hits 200k members, staff throw a party, and someone drops a free account right in the announcement post.

Staff member Skippy announced Fkn0wned had crossed 200,000 registered members, listing stats on posts, topics, and downloads, and promising a round of 200 giveaways plus a new banner to mark the occasion. The 200,000th member, x1Shot1Kill, got an exclusive forum tag as a reward. The thread is mostly celebratory replies from members and staff (including admin ZoaQ joking he was responsible), with a bit of banter about whether the count was really accurate due to deleted accounts, and someone else piling on with a bonus account giveaway.

We officially have 200,000 Fkn0wnians! That's right, we have already hit another milestone, 500k here we come!— Skippy

weve had 200k members for awhile now.....— CandleJack

All because of me :) Gratz fkn— ZoaQ

Recruiting Staff (World News / Warez / XXX Pass Positions)

Six open jobs, one founder handing out power — the great Fkn0wned staff hiring thread of '09

Founder TuxifieD posted an open call for six unfilled staff positions covering World News, Warez, and XXX Pass sections, giving members a week to prove they deserved a slot or lose it if the section flopped. The thread fills up with classic forum-application energy: some members earnestly pitch relevant experience (following world news, sourcing warez), others just vouch for their own loyalty and daily activity, and at least one applicant leans hard into meme-speak leetspeak self-promotion. It's a small time-capsule of how volunteer moderation and community roles got handed out on a mid-2000s cheat/gaming forum — equal parts sincere community pride and tongue-in-cheek chaos.

If your section fails.. you're gone. Evil huh? But Direct.— TuxifieD

ILL GO FOR THE WAREZ SECTION I HAS EXPERIENSE AND DEAL WITH WAY SPAMMIER SEKSHUNS— wearemages

Fkn0wned has been my savior.— zawmintu

Site Changes — Skippy Takes Over as Head Admin

TuxifieD vanishes, Skippy grabs the keys, and the Jailbait section quietly disappears for 'legal issues'

An official announcement from Skippy explaining a leadership shakeup on Fkn0wned: founder TuxifieD stepped away indefinitely, jhurl was promoted to Founder to handle VIP/1K subscriptions, and Skippy himself became head Admin with full site access. The post also confirms the controversial 'Jailbait' forum section was removed over legal concerns, with an open question about whether it'd return. The thread is a mix of congratulations, inside jokes about color/name changes, a VIP member complaining about an unfulfilled lifetime subscription, and one blatantly racist outburst that got called out by another member.

Jailbait has been removed for legal issue, we are still debating on weather or not to re-introduce it in future.— Skippy

This world is going to hell, everything is run by niggers now. America, fkn0wned, etc WHATS NEXT?!— Industry

I paid VIP Lifetime Subscription 3 weeks ago and I received nothing... What I really have to do now ?— Bernie L. Madoff

Staff Shuffle! (December 2008 Staff Changes)

Promotions, a shiny new Admin badge, and five staffers quietly shown the door — all in one post.

An official staff announcement from jChase, freshly promoted to Admin, welcoming Kimmi and Mystik to the SMOD team alongside existing SMOD Glish. The same post announces that KZA, c0ke, panda, afteryou, and tker were stripped of their staff permissions, with jChase keeping the reasons vague but implying they were justified. The tone is upbeat about the promotions and diplomatically brief about the demotions, closing with the usual call for members to stay active and consider donating to keep the site running.

It is with not so much pleasure, that I announce that KZA, c0ke, panda, afteryou, and tker have been removed from their respective permissions.— jChase

The reasons behind these demotions vary, but trust that it is well deserved, and nothing personal.— jChase

The Hot Girl Sign Competition

Founder TuxifieD launches a 'get a girl to hold our sign' contest with lifetime VIP as the prize — chaos ensues.

An announcement thread from site founder TuxifieD launching a member photo contest: get a woman to pose holding a sign with the site's slogan, with the top two photos winning lifetime VIP membership (and its associated perks). The rules were blunt and juvenile, reflecting the site's early-2010s edgy forum culture, and required at least 10 entries with visible faces. Early replies are jokey and dismissive, with one member quipping about asking his mom before backing out.

You must get a hot girl to hold a sign that says "Fkn0wned.com We got the Bitchez"— TuxifieD

I'm gonna go see if my mom is up for this. *edit* she's not. D:— Jawn

Donations GREATLY Needed

The founder passes the hat to keep Fkn0wned alive — sad puppy pics included.

A November 2008 announcement thread where site founder TuxifieD appeals to the community for donations to keep Fkn0wned.com running after 'a couple bad months.' The post is decorated with the era-classic sad animal reaction images to tug at heartstrings, and offers public thank-yous to anyone who donates and shares their transaction details via PM. Two members, mutantcookie and Mystik, are credited early on with $25 and $80 donations respectively, showing the small-scale, community-funded nature of running a cheat/gaming forum back then.

We have had a couple bad months at Fkn0wned as we have had in the past and we need to ask for donations this month to help us going.— TuxifieD

Thank you to : mutantcookie for his 25$ donation to help with our needs. Mystik for his 80$ donation to help with our needs.— TuxifieD

Slow Month For Fkn0wned... Need Donations!

The site's founder passes the hat to keep the lights on — and dangles a bundled hack deal to sweeten the pot.

A October 2008 announcement from founder TuxifieD asking the community for donations to cover server costs, tying the fundraiser to a promotional bundle deal from an affiliated site (sourceindustries.net) run by a coder named Skar. The post promises a public TF2/DODS/CSS hack release if donations came through, and offers unspecified 'special rewards' to donors via PM. It's a snapshot of the site's precarious, ad-hoc financing during its cheat-scene heyday, run on PayPal donations and hack sales rather than any stable revenue.

Fkn0wned had a very slow month this month and so we need donations to help meet the server bill— TuxifieD

NO OTHER SITE OFFERS THAT!!!— TuxifieD

Recruit fkn0wned Ladies

The founder's big plan to grow the site's female membership: forehead marker stunts, free swag, and a promo video.

A December 2008 announcement thread started by site founder TuxifieD proposing a lighthearted recruitment gimmick: get women to write 'fkn0wned' on their foreheads, post proof, and receive free fkn0wned-branded shirts/clothing as an incentive to join. A promo photo and an upcoming YouTube video were teased to help spread the word. Longtime super moderator Kimmi replied quickly, reflecting how active and tight-knit the site's staff presence was at the time. It's a snapshot of the site's early, informal promo culture and its casual attitude toward site growth stunts.

Get girls to write fkn0wned on their foreheads and join!— TuxifieD

We need more fkn ladies, I am thinking of giving out free fkn0wned shirts and clothing to ladies who join— TuxifieD

New COD4 VIP Hack Released (2009)

The day fkn0wned rolled out its paid COD4 cheat — chams, aimbot, 'PB Undetected' and all.

An official announcement from site founder TuxifieD introducing a new paid VIP cheat for Call of Duty 4, sold through CCBill since PayPal wasn't an option. The post laid out a long feature list (ESP, aimbot, no-recoil, menu customization) and claimed Punkbuster-proof status at the time. A moderator, ZoaQ, replied shortly after, likely to acknowledge or bump the release. It's a good snapshot of fkn0wned's commercial cheat-selling era and how these releases were marketed to the community.

PB Status: Undetected— TuxifieD

We Currently are NOT offering paypal.— TuxifieD

Fkn0wned VIP Hack Release (CS:S)

The day fkn0wned rolled out its paid VIP aimbot/ESP package for Counter-Strike: Source — undetected, of course.

A May 2009 announcement thread from site founder TuxifieD unveiling the site's premium 'VIP' cheat for Counter-Strike: Source, sold via CCBill or PayPal. The post is a full feature rundown — aimbot options, ESP, wallhack-style extras, and misc tricks like bunnyhop and spinbot — framed as VAC2 undetected at the time. It's classic cheat-scene marketing copy: bold claims, a screenshot, and a hard sales pitch, with a promo tie-in offering a free Steam account for lifetime buyers that week. Staff admin Fkn0wnedWasHere chimes in right after, suggesting the announcement got quick attention from the community.

Vac2 Status: Undetected— TuxifieD

FREE STEAM ACCOUNT WITH LIFETIME PURCHASE THIS WEEK ONLY!!!— TuxifieD

Private Hacks Up For Sale

The day Fkn0wned put a price tag on 'undetected' — VIP cheats, $20 a month, right in the announcements forum.

A founder-posted announcement advertising paid 'VIP' private cheats for Battlefield 2, Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty 5, Counter-Strike: Source, and Crysis, priced at $20/month through a site payment panel. It reads as an official site update rather than a member ad, marking a point where Fkn0wned formalized monetizing its cheat offerings. The thread is short and businesslike, inviting questions rather than sparking much back-and-forth.

They will start off at $20/month— TuxifieD

Every hack IS full featured and undetected.— TuxifieD

Recruiting CS:S / CS 1.6 Coder

Fkn0wned put out a help-wanted ad for cheat coders — public work first, paid private gigs after.

A brief staff announcement in the Updates and Announcements section, posted by founder TuxifieD, calling for coders skilled in Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Source to join the team. The offer laid out an unpaid trial period of public releases to prove skill before any paid private hack work would follow. Graphics crew member ZoaQ replied shortly after, though the visible content cuts off there.

You will be paid for all private hacks made however the private hack coder position does not come before proving your coding skills and providing free public hacks to the members.. thank you— TuxifieD
