Fkn0wned Crew Recruitment Applications
Half the forum's old guard lines up to apply for staff — and immediately starts ribbing each other about it
A Site News thread where longtime Fkn0wned members announce they've applied for open 'Crew' (staff) positions, wishing each other luck. A former staffer explains that Crew duties went beyond moderation, including specific assigned tasks like maintaining the cheat database. The thread has the loose, familiar banter of a small close-knit community — inside jokes, sig-editing pranks, and casual jabs between regulars, alongside one member's account-selling vouch thread pasted in for credibility.
Applied. Hoping for the best, like most of you are I guess. Good luck to everyone!— Kudi
When I was on staff, my assignment was to update the cheat archive and keep it updated at all times.— mystical
youre applying again? and IVE APPLIED!— Cosmonty
The State of Fkn0wned [5/25/12]
A site news update sparks talk of game walkthroughs, growth plans, and community goodwill.
This was a Site News announcement thread on Fkn0wned dated May 25, 2012, giving members an update on the state of the forum. The replies are mostly supportive, with members thanking staff for transparency and floating ideas like adding game walkthroughs to draw in more traffic and grow the member base. The tone is upbeat and low-drama, reflecting a community checking in on its own direction.
Nice update, thank you for keeping us informed.— Guest_BlackHawk_*
I support adoras game walk through idea, that would attract alot of google search traffic for a larger member base..— LordEthan2
I hope it goes well, can't complain when someone is putting in effort that isn't getting anything but appreciation and respect.. Do work son— nullvoid
Error Messages, Lag/Downtime and 403 Forbidden
Site's throwing 403s, someone's ghost-posting as you, and the old guard is just shrugging it off
A Site News thread where members reported recurring 403 forbidden errors and general lag/downtime issues on the forum. One long-time member (SNK) also flagged a stranger-things problem: people apparently posting under his account. Responses were casual and unbothered, with veterans treating it as just another rough patch the forum would weather, and a newer member chiming in with reassurance that 'every forum goes through this.'
I'm getting the 403 forbidden messages now, The CTRL+F5 doesn't really work for me at all times. An who are these people posting on your account with -Blah.— SNK
Don't worreh. Every forum goes through this. They'll give up eventually. They're just jealous. Lol.— W-H
Forums Upgraded (Site News, v3.3.1 patch chatter)
The night fkn0wned pushed a software update and everyone just talked about the bugs
A short Site News thread documenting a forum software upgrade to version 3.3.1. Regulars AngelsDead and ap3x go back and forth about a minor glitch that cropped up after the update, with ap3x (a 'Retired and Respected' staffer) confirming the issue shouldn't persist post-patch and AngelsDead reporting it resolved itself. A small, mundane slice of forum housekeeping rather than drama, but a nice time capsule of the site's admin/community dynamic.
does this belong with a bug comming from the upgrade?— AngelsDead
This shouldn't be in 3.3.1, try your post again— ap3x
TheJah, Tripication, and trs promoted to SMod!
Three names climb the fkn0wned ladder — congrats roll in for the forum's newest Super Mods.
A Site News announcement marking the promotion of three members — TheJah, Tripication, and trs — to Super Moderator status on the fkn0wned forum. The visible reply is a short congratulatory note from VIP member DonStefano, reflecting the community's casual, supportive tone toward staff milestones. This kind of thread was typical of the site's internal culture, where rank changes and staff shakeups were publicly celebrated.
Congrats to all 3 ^^!— DonStefano
Goodbye zanderdanmark
One of Fkn0wned's own said their farewells — a small update thread that marked the end of an era for someone in the crew.
A short 'Minor Updates' announcement thread marking the departure of member zanderdanmark from the Fkn0wned Forum. These threads typically served as the site's bulletin board for staff/member comings and goings, and this one was dedicated to a goodbye. The actual page content is mostly forum navigation and database chrome, with the real farewell messages likely spread across the thread's pages.
Monster Back to Crew - Minor Updates
A returning member's minor update thread — pure early-2010s forum housekeeping.
This was a short 'Minor Updates' post announcing that a member (going by 'Monster') was back with the crew, likely a brief status/reconnection update rather than a substantial announcement. The page itself is mostly site navigation and board index chrome, with the actual thread content largely absent, typical of the small housekeeping posts that filled out the Site Related section between bigger cheat-database and gaming discussions.
Good Bye and Good Luck Mystical
A staffer's farewell thread — the kind of goodbye post that marked the slow end of an era.
This was a brief announcement-style thread in the 'Minor Updates' section of Site Related, marking the departure of a member or staffer known as Mystical. It reads as one of the small farewell posts common to forum communities winding down or losing longtime contributors, with members presumably chiming in with well-wishes. No real drama or detail survives in the extracted content beyond the title and forum structure itself.
Welcome Kudi to the FkN crew!
A new staffer joins FkN0wned — page one of a three-page welcome thread.
A short site-announcement thread from the 'Minor Updates' subforum announcing that a member called Kudi had joined the FkN0wned staff/crew. The post kicked off a multi-page (3 pages) round of community congratulations and welcomes, typical of how the site marked new staff additions. No drama or technical content here, just a routine but well-received site milestone.
MOTM August - JeremyLin
August's Member of the Month announcement drama on Fkn0wned.
This page is a 'Minor Updates' announcement post naming the Member of the Month for August, awarded to a user going by JeremyLin. It sits in the Site Related section of the Fkn0wned Forum, which also served as a hub for cheat/hack databases and gaming discussion. The extracted content is mostly site navigation and board structure, with no substantive discussion text preserved.
Linking to your Logger - Minor Updates
A quiet little site-update thread about how members were supposed to link back to their loggers.
This was a brief announcement/discussion in the Minor Updates section, part of Site Related on the Fkn0wned forum. It dealt with a small technical/policy tweak regarding how users should link to their 'logger' tools within the site. Not a major event in forum history, just routine housekeeping typical of the site's constant tinkering during the cheat-scene era.
Fkn0wned Clothing - Minor Updates
The merch line got a tweak — a tiny footnote in the site's endless list of small fixes.
A short administrative post in the 'Minor Updates' log noting a change related to 'Fkn0wned Clothing,' presumably a site merchandise line tied to the forum's branding. The surrounding page shows the classic structure of the old Fkn0wned Forum: its database of game cheats/hacks (CS 1.6, CoD, Battlefield 3, Minecraft, RuneScape sections in various states of 'coming soon'), plus its General, Gaming, Market, and Security & Hacking categories. Not much drama here — just routine site upkeep from the era when the forum was actively maintained.
RAT/Trojan Warning Thread (Minor Updates)
The mods drop a warning about rats hiding in your downloads.
A staff/site notice posted in the Minor Updates section flagging concerns about RATs (Remote Access Trojans) circulating on the forum, likely bundled with shared cheats or tools. This kind of thread was a recurring feature of the site's culture — a reminder that the same community trading hacks and cheats was also constantly policing itself against malware smuggled in under the guise of 'free' downloads. The page itself is mostly site chrome and forum navigation, with the actual warning content trimmed, but the title alone captures the ever-present cat-and-mouse trust issue on cheat-scene forums.
