How you guys get over Depression?? - Serious Discussion

When a gaming/cheat forum got real for a minute and members opened up about depression.

A thread in the forum's Serious Discussion area where a member asked how others cope with depression, prompting a handful of sincere, informal replies from regulars. Responses ranged from practical advice (hang out with friends, get some fresh air) to more personal reflections on love, relationships, and self-deprecating humor as coping mechanisms. It's a small but notable example of the community stepping outside its usual gaming/cheats focus to have a genuine, supportive conversation.

Just be yourself and try to relax.— uglydewey

Love gets me through it— Ruan09

You don't, you accept it as it is and focus on the good in sight.— A U X

Help Me Quit Smoking

A gaming forum's cheat-scene regulars trade quit-smoking tips between signature spam and FPS-boost guides.

A member in the Serious Discussion section asked for help quitting smoking, describing cravings and the urge to snack or chew gum instead of lighting up. Forum regulars 'SoloMidPls' (VIP) and 'niggacamo' (1K Club) chimed in with casual advice, suggesting eating noodles, KFC, or pizza instead of gum. The exchange sits amid the usual forum furniture of the era — elaborate signatures, spoiler-tagged FPS optimization guides for Battlefield 3 and ArmA 2/DayZ, and shoutouts to other members like Panda and Slinky.

Well, when i don't smoke i get really hungry and allways need to eat or chew gum. And eventualy i need to light one. I just really don't know what to do.— SoloMidPls

eat something else chew gum isnt really good i think. eat noodles or kfc or pizza or whatever— niggacamo

Thinking about College.

The cheat scene's coders swap real-life advice on community college vs. CS degrees.

A member in the Serious Discussion area asked for advice about going to college, and a couple of longtime VIPs chimed in with practical guidance. ReMiiX suggested starting at community college for an AA degree before specializing, while RandyCandy listed the tech and computer science course offerings at their own school. It's a quieter, more grounded thread showing the human side of the forum outside the usual cheats-and-drama scene.

Start slow attend community college, get yourself your AA degree, and pursue specifics from there.— ReMiiX™

"Nobody changes until the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of change"— RandyCandy

Which Human Decision Has Had the Most Negative Impact on Society?

Old heads debate humanity's worst mistake — one VIP says it was the War on Drugs.

A philosophical off-topic thread in the Serious Discussion area where members traded opinions on the most damaging decision in human history. The one surviving excerpt comes from longtime VIP member 'hippie', who argued that criminalizing drugs was the worst call society ever made. Typical of the forum's more reflective side, mixed in among its usual cheat/hack and gaming market business.

Making drugs illegal.— hippie

Does Age Command Respect? (Serious Discussion)

A philosophical detour on fkn0wned asks: does being older automatically earn you respect?

A brief 'Serious Discussion' thread pondering whether age alone commands respect among members. The visible excerpt captures a reply from longtime member dgrock (aka ViCiOuS DeLiCiOuS, part of the site's '1K Club' with nearly 3,000 posts), who gives a simple mutual-respect take before plugging his own SoundCloud page. Fairly typical of the forum's off-topic 'Serious Discussion' section, where cheat-scene regulars occasionally traded life-philosophy takes between the hacking and gaming talk.

I respect everybody who respect me, that's all— dgrock

Start eating healthier? — Serious Discussion

Before it was patches and cheats, fkn0wned was arguing about diet and self-improvement.

A rare off-topic, non-gaming thread from the Serious Discussion sub-board where members traded advice and opinions about eating healthier and improving their lifestyle. It's a small glimpse of the community outside its usual cheat-scene and gaming focus, showing members engaging in everyday, personal-life chatter. No major drama or notable events are preserved in the extracted content, just a slice of ordinary forum life.

Change my Mindset

A member asked the forum to talk them out of their own head — and the community actually leaned in.

A thread posted in the Serious Discussion sub-forum, one of the site's rare non-gaming, non-cheat spaces where members dropped the leetspeak and talked about real-life struggles. The original poster asked for help reframing their outlook or mindset, opening the floor for advice, encouragement, and personal anecdotes from other members. It's a small window into the more human side of a forum otherwise built around game hacks and cheat databases.

Do you think quitting smoking is easy or is it not?

Fkn0wned's cheat kids take a break from aimbots to argue about nicotine addiction.

A rare off-topic 'Serious Discussion' thread on the cheat-scene forum Fkn0wned, where members debated whether quitting smoking is actually hard or just a matter of willpower. It shows the community's General section wasn't only about hacks and gaming market trades — there was also a space for genuine life-and-health chat between regulars. Archived content is thin, but the thread topic itself is a nostalgic glimpse of the forum's more human side.

What's your biggest dream? - Serious Discussion

Before the leech boards and the cheat database, fkn0wned members got real about what they actually wanted out of life.

A Serious Discussion thread on the fkn0wned forum where members were invited to share their biggest personal dream or life ambition. Sitting apart from the usual cheat database, gaming market, and leeching sections, this corner of the site let regulars drop the internet-forum bravado for a moment of sincerity. No major drama or notable content survived in the scrape beyond the site's navigation and category structure, but the thread's existence is a small window into the human side of a community mostly known for game hacks and shady downloads.

Can Exes Stay Friends? — Serious Discussion Thread

The old 'can you actually be friends with your ex' debate, fkn0wned edition.

A casual off-topic discussion thread in the Serious Discussion sub-forum where members weighed in on whether staying friends with an ex-partner is realistic. Typical of the forum's General section, which mixed cheat/hack talk with everyday life and relationship chatter among the regulars. No drama or notable events are preserved in this fragment beyond the thread topic itself.

Relationship Without Sex?? Possible???

Fkn0wned's cheat-scene regulars trade hot takes on love, sex, and relationships in the off-topic pit.

A Serious Discussion thread on the Fkn0wned forum where members debated whether a romantic relationship could work without a sexual component. Like many 'serious discussion' threads on cheat/hack forums of the era, it was less about gaming and more a space for the community to hash out life opinions, mixing genuine takes with the usual off-topic banter. No major drama or notable events are preserved beyond the general discussion itself.
