Massive Crew Promotion Thread (GFX Crew TBD)

A round of promotions hits Fkn0wned and the crew comes out to say thanks — and roast each other a little.

This is a Site News congratulations thread celebrating a wave of member promotions on the Fkn0wned forum, with new crew members (including darkfolf) thanking staff for the opportunity. Longtime members like Mugen (Database Admin) and others chime in with thanks directed at 'Panda' and 'Fuser', who appear to have been behind the promotions and a signature graphic. The tone is light, jokey, and affectionate — classic small-forum camaraderie with inside jokes and over-the-top titles/taglines under each name.

Gratz Bitches Thanks Panda and Fuser ! <3 <3 <3— Mugen
Thanks for the opportunity guys. I will do my best and hopefully I don't annoy you guys with questions >.>— darkfolf

FkN Crew and Graphics Crew Recruitment

The one where the site owner had to beg people to actually apply

A Site News recruitment thread on Fkn0wned calling for new [FkN] Crew and Graphics Crew members, with over a dozen regulars and VIPs chiming in to wish applicants luck. Owner f0wh posted mid-thread pushing back on low turnout, noting the site needed 10+ new crew/graphics members and was disappointed with the response so far. Mostly a supportive, low-drama thread full of 'good luck' posts, community shout-outs (like thanking Manlosa for signature art), and the usual reminders to use the report button and say thanks.

Don't hold back your applications because you think you're not good enough. Currently, the amount of crew we need is pretty high (upwards of 10+ counting graphics crew), so your chances of being accepted are good. I'm not very impressed with the numbers of applications we've gotten so far.— f0wh
Gl everyone hopefully fkn will get what its looking for— darkfolf
Good luck to all. Thanks Manlosa for the Great sig <3— ңƩx čode

VIP Discounted to $40/Lifetime! + Brand New VIP Hacks!

The classic 'VIP sale' announcement thread — where a member's absurd social-engineering loot list stole the show

A Site News post advertising a discounted lifetime VIP subscription and new VIP-tier hacks on Fkn0wned, a gaming/cheat-scene forum.

It captures the site's commerce-driven VIP model and the boastful, tongue-in-cheek member culture typical of early-2010s cheat forums.

Can i pay with a Vanilla prepaid card? Because i dont have a real cc but if i can use vanilla, im gettin this shit TODAY— cjdog1234
