Favorite Shoe Brand?
Nike, Vans, or Uggs for style — Fkn0wned settles the great sneaker debate of December 2009
A lighthearted off-topic thread in General Discussion where PopTart asked members what shoes they preferred, and a good chunk of the community's regulars weighed in with their brand loyalties. Nike and Vans dominated the responses, with shoutouts to Adidas, DC, Osiris, Etnies, and even Uggs. Nothing dramatic here — just a casual, mundane hangout thread showing the human, everyday side of a forum better known for CS hacks and warez.
mine is NIKE because its the only that i can fit into :p :p— PopTart
Is this even a competition? For me, it has to be either Etnies, Nike, Ugg, or Osiris.— h4voCK
Songs That Pump U Up
A 2007 lacrosse player asks fkn0wned for hype music and gets the forum's questionable taste in rock, metal, and techno.
A member named mako_x23 kicks off a casual thread asking fellow forum-goers for pump-up songs ahead of his indoor lacrosse season, requesting rock, heavy metal, or techno recommendations. Staff member Industry chimes in with a quirky suggestion ('Skatman'), and another member, Famousss, joins the conversation. It's a small, laid-back Off-Topic thread typical of early forum culture — sports hype meets music talk with a dash of humor.
songs that you listen to to get pumped up before games...im lookin for stuf thats like mainly rock/heavy metal or techno...— mako_x23
skatman, by skatman its got a good beat and its good for running— Industry
E-raged on Vent =[
One member invited the whole forum to dogpile a kid named Yoohan on voice chat, just for the lulz
A short 2009 General Discussion post from CookieTerrorist calling out a Vent server where a member named Yoohan supposedly rages easily, inviting other Fkn0wned members to join and provoke him for entertainment. The tone is classic era-appropriate forum mischief — casual, mean-spirited fun rather than any real conflict. It got no visible replies in the archived page, just the setup post itself.
I got a kid thats names Yoohan, he e-rages epically and cries a lot! it's funny as hell— CookieTerrorist
Go for it, take some screen shots and post it, have some fun fellas!— CookieTerrorist
Music Torrents
Demonoid's dead — where do you get your tunes now?
A short, casual January 2008 thread in General Discussion where a member asks for good music torrent sites after Demonoid went down. Several regulars chime in with their go-to sites of the era (isoHunt, Mininova, The Pirate Bay, btjunkie, torrentz, and staff member Arcade dropping what.cd and waffles.fm), with some good-natured ribbing about torrent-hunting skills along the way. Nothing dramatic, just a snapshot of how people found music before streaming took over.
But I'm teh_uber_t0rrenthax0r so I add trackers manually sometimes, rifk.— The Moose

Superbowl XLII Poll Thread
Giants vs Patriots, forum-poll style — one guy just wanted a meteor to hit the stadium.
A casual Off-Topic poll/thread from Super Bowl Sunday, February 3, 2008, asking members to pick between the New York Giants and New England Patriots. The community poll was tight, with a chunk of voters just wishing disaster on both teams for laughs. This is page 2 of the thread, catching the tail end where staff members chime in with quick one-liners as the game wraps up.
Both of them suck...i hope a meteroid goes down in the staduim!!
Giants win— hunterbrute224
Favorite Food?
Sushi vs. pizza vs. lasagne — fkn0wned settles the eternal food debate, one-liner at a time.
A light, off-topic General Discussion thread from late December 2009 where forum regulars traded their favorite foods. Nothing deep here — just small talk between members, ranging from sushi and lasagne to pizza and spaghetti, plus one deadpan joke answer. A nice little snapshot of the community's casual, low-stakes side away from the hacking and warez talk.
pizza rapes all kind of food, no doubts. Dont even try.— kubaxplx

Why Microsoft Windows Vista Sucks
A 2009 forum roast of Vista turns into a wholesome little OS support-group thread
Utu kicked off this General Discussion thread by linking a video mocking Windows Vista, and the regulars piled on with their own takes. Most members agreed Vista was a flop and were either already on Windows 7 or planning to skip straight to it, while a couple of holdouts repped XP and Ubuntu/*nix as their daily drivers. Low-drama, casual tech-chat thread typical of the era's OS wars.
i skipped vista altogether. fail release. been using *nix since the 90's. never fails me ^_^.— lulraep
i prefer xp though i have 7 on laptop, and vista on a different laptop. plus Ubuntu on my other desktop. this is my main cpu though.. xp all the way :D— srw0801
Ctrl+V Game (General Discussion)
The classic 'paste whatever's in your clipboard' game, complete with an early Gangnam Style link and a random internal network hostname.
This was a lighthearted General Discussion thread where members played the old 'Ctrl+V' game — pasting whatever happened to be on their clipboard at that moment, no matter how random. Posts ranged from meaningless strings of text to a member dropping a YouTube link to 'Gangnam Style' back when it was freshly viral in mid-2012. Typical low-stakes, goofy filler thread from [FkN] crew members passing time between the site's cheat/hacking content.
Tell PETA my mink is dragging on the floor— d0t1q
GANGNAM STYLE!— DarkRood
Stand-up Comedy DVD Recommendations Thread
An old Fkn0wned regular asks for DVD stand-up recs and gets Russell Peters, a leecher rant, and staff showing up to weigh in.
A casual Off-Topic thread from November 2007 where member 'Epic Failure' lists stand-up specials they'd already seen (Dave Chappelle, Jeff Dunham, Dane Cook, Pablo Francisco) and asks for more DVD recommendations. Replies came from ZarbonPRO, who suggested Russell Peters with a video link, and 'Arcade', a Rager-ranked member, who pointed to a comedy video source while grumbling about leechers hiding content. Staff member PaRaNoID (a self-described 'SyKoTiK HaCkEr' from Sydney) also chimed in, showing how even off-topic threads drew in the site's regulars and staff.
THERE IS A HIDE THING THERE BECAUSE OF FUCKING LEECHERS, DEAL WITH IT.— Arcade
Russel Peters.— ZarbonPRO
What Drugs Show Up in a Piss Test? (Off-Topic Crowdsourcing)
A CS:S kid asks the forum to crowdsource a drug test cheat sheet — the internet answers, obviously.
A member named MeTaLn2 asked for a rundown of what substances (from meth and weed to prescription pills like Adderall and Oxycontin) actually show up on a standard drug test, worried about a parent-administered test. Fellow off-topic regulars chimed in with links, personal anecdotes about their own testing experiences, and the usual mix of jokes and half-informed advice typical of a mid-2000s gaming forum's General Discussion section. It's a snapshot of the off-topic chatter that filled the space between cheat releases — teenagers talking about real-life problems in between CS:S threads.
lol piss tests how bout piss in ur bosses face? XD— RecoileZ
thanks<3— MeTaLn2
iPod Touch MP4 Converter Chat
A guy just wants free MP4s for his iTouch, and half the forum shows up with their favorite cracked converter
A low-stakes 2008 General Discussion thread where user Famousss asks for free MP4 videos and a cracked YouTube-to-MP4 converter for his iPod Touch. Several regulars and a staff member chime in with their go-to tools of the era (bit torrent searches, PSP-oriented converters, Videora, Frostwire/Limewire), making it a quick snapshot of pre-smartphone media-hoarding culture on the site. Nothing dramatic happened — just a casual, helpful exchange typical of the forum's Off-Topic section.
yer i wana put some vids on to my touch thanks F— Famousss
I have an mp4 converter that i use for my psp... works great— Scratch
90 Amazing California Pictures
PopTart drops 90 gorgeous California wallpaper pics — and someone still finds a way to make it weird about a stadium.
A simple photography-sharing thread in the Art & Design > Photography section, where forum fixture PopTart posted a Photobucket preview and a Rapidshare download link to a folder of 90 California landscape photos taken by a friend, pitched as wallpaper material. The replies are low-key and pleasant by forum standards — people asking about the camera used, praising specific shots, and one member asking permission to use them as signature stock images. A very ordinary, wholesome corner of the site compared to its warez/cheat-scene reputation.
sun is like a lamp there— JuMx
the 1st and 4th one make me soo hard. I don't do much photography but I don't like the stadium one...its a stadium. I like nature much more— Repulse
a camera FOR photography
A cheat-scene forum's Photography subboard, where a member just wanted a decent $50 camera for Christmas 2009
In the Photography corner of Fkn0wned's Art & Design section, longtime member slingblade asked for recommendations on an affordable (under $50) camera to get into photography, posted on Christmas night 2009. Two other regulars, BONxFIRE and h4voCK, chimed in with basic brand advice (Canon/Nikon) and a reality check that decent cameras rarely come that cheap unless used. A small, low-drama, everyday exchange typical of the forum's quieter hobby subforums outside the gaming/cheat talk.
im interested in photography, i've always liked taking pictures, i find myself in picture perfect moments all the time— slingblade
you can't find any camera nowadays for less than 50 bucks unless it's used, old, and obsolete.— h4voCK
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
Jeff Hardy
A YouTube wrestling clip and an instant 'it's fake you moran' takedown
A member posted a Jeff Hardy highlight video with unabashed enthusiasm, only to get immediately clowned by a Supervisor who dismissed pro wrestling as fake and boring. A GFX staffer chimed in right after, suggesting the thread was heading into typical off-topic ribbing rather than genuine discussion. Classic low-stakes Links/Humor fare: someone shares something they love, the forum pushes back hard for laughs.
Jeff Hardy fKn pwnz!— ZarbonPRO
Wow, you like wresting? It's fake you moran. It's not even entertaining...— Bucketface
Crysis Barrel Physics YouTube Link (Links/Humor)
Someone dropped a Crysis physics video in 2007 and the crew spent two pages losing their minds over stacked barrels.
A low-key Off-Topic thread from late 2007/early 2008 where longtime poster LoRd Ragealot shared a YouTube clip showing Crysis's Sandbox 2 engine physics — barrels piling up and a satisfying explosion. Other members, including a Toronto CoD4 player and site staff, chimed in marveling at the graphics, joking about needing better hardware, and asking how the barrel stacking was even done. It's a small, cozy time capsule of the site under its earlier name (Gametration.com, later rebranded Fkn0wned.com) and its old forum hierarchy of cheat databases and off-topic banter.
at the end, the explosion, is so fkn cool— LoRd Ragealot
youd be amazed... you will SHIT BRIX, its AMAZING— Anexxion
CATZ - Funny Cats Thread
A 2007 cat-video thread that somehow peaked with 'invisible bike' and Pokemans jokes
A lighthearted Off-Topic post from bragamuffin sharing a funny cat video link, which turned into a small round of members swapping cat humor and links (including a shoutout to roflcats.com). The thread is short and low-stakes, mostly forum regulars riffing on early YouTube-era meme culture like the 'invisible bike' clip. Nothing dramatic happened here — just a snapshot of casual downtime chatter typical of the Links/Humor subforum.
pictures wit cats r the funniest things ever— mako_x23
Lol, The invisible bike and the 'let me show you my Pokemans' were the best. haha.— ♠P@7R1K♠
That Human Tetris Japanese Game Show Clip
A member drops the infamous human-Tetris Japanese gameshow clip and the whole thread just laughs at 3:50.
A quick, low-effort Links/Humor post from December 2007 sharing a YouTube link to a Japanese game show segment featuring 'human tetris.' The replies are short and lighthearted, with several regulars piling on to say it's funny, especially one moment around the 3:50 mark that gets quoted twice. Nothing dramatic — just a classic slice of forum downtime between the cheat-scene talk.
LOL @ 3:50.— The Moose
3..50 OWNS!1 LOL— haha.1
Stupid fucking pastor
HaSh drops a Break.com link and the Links/Humor crowd finds their new favorite villain.
A short 2007 Links/Humor thread where supervisor HaSh shared a viral video/link about a controversial pastor, calling him 'an old asshole.' Media Crew member Goodapollo replied with a much more personal, heated rant, revealing the pastor's church operated near his hometown and that he'd followed the guy's antics locally and nationally for years. It's a small snapshot of the board's off-topic culture: quick reaction posts, dark humor, and members occasionally getting genuinely worked up over outside-world news.
what an old asshole.— HaSh
he is honestly one of the few people i would just blatantly walk into a crowd and shoot in the face. i have such a passionate hatred for him. but you knowwww. hate breeds hate— Goodapollo
Potato Gun
Someone got 'fkn0wned' by a potato gun, and the physics lecture followed.
A quick throwaway thread in the Links/Humor section where Keskin^ posted a video link of someone getting hurt by a potato gun, using the site's signature 'fkn0wned' catchphrase. banak replied with a deadpan physics explanation about recoil and equal-and-opposite reactions before laughing it off. A small, low-stakes bit of forum humor typical of the Off-Topic board's link-dump culture.
He got fkn0wned with Potato Gun.— Keskin^
Simple physics, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.— banak
Revenge is Sweet: Viral Spin-Kick Video Thread
A 2007 video link thread where one spin kick united the whole Off-Topic crowd
A quick Off-Topic/Links-Humor post from October 2007 where member ZarbonPRO shared a link to a viral clip (hosted on nothingtoxic.com) showing someone getting a violent comeuppance. The thread is short and casual, just a handful of members reacting to the video, joking about the 'spin kick' and wishing for subtitles. Typical low-effort, high-nostalgia forum filler from the site's Links/Humor section.
Wow, that spin kick was fucking deadly.— orangespwnz
there should hav been sub titles,would hav loved to knowen what they wer saying lol— Famousss
Gamer Gets Owned
A funny video clip thread that ran two pages deep, mostly laughs and one-liners.
This was a lighthearted Links/Humor thread on Fkn0wned.Com sharing a 'gamer gets owned' video/clip for the community's amusement. By page two the discussion had trailed off into short reactions like 'staged' and 'LMAO!!!!' rather than any real debate. It's a small, unremarkable but charmingly typical slice of the forum's off-topic humor culture from late 2007.
staged— that 1 dude
LMAO!!!!— Killz0rzz
The "New" 2 Girls 1 Cup Thread
A 2007 shock-link callback thread that's basically a time capsule of internet gross-out humor's golden age.
A short-lived Off-Topic/Links-Humor thread from December 2007 where a member (posting under a Banned account) shared follow-up shock-site links riffing on the infamous '2 Girls 1 Cup' viral video, referencing related spinoff links some members had apparently been hunting for in another thread. It's a quick, low-effort post typical of the shock-link/prank-link genre popular on gaming forums in the mid-to-late 2000s, capped off by a self-deprecating typo correction. Only one reply followed, a brief joking remark before the thread went quiet.
Edit : I just noticed I spelled chicks wrong. Oh well, I'm retarded.— Seaking
lol just pwnt somebody heh heh— olie22
A way to watch TV shows/Movies free
2008's version of cord-cutting: some guy discovers Hulu 'in beta' and the thread immediately turns to torrents
A member shares Hulu, newly in beta at the time, as a way to stream TV shows and movies for free, noting the limited movie selection but good quality. Another member almost immediately counters with a torrent site link instead, boasting about grabbing a batch of stuff from it. Classic low-key Off-Topic filler thread from the Links/Humor section, more of a quick tip-share than a real discussion.
I found a website thats in beta http://www.hulu.com/ allows you to watch movies and Tv shows free from there website.— Jerry_Seinfeld
Or torrents. Look I got 1-9 from there. xD haha.— Marc347
Post your funny signs!
A 2007 image-dump thread where one member kicked things off with a real 'illegal software' rule screenshot from Microsoft.
Started by member ri0t in the Links/Humor sub-forum, this thread invited people to post genuinely funny signs — real-life photos or internet screenshots — with strict no-photoshop, no-repost, no-bump rules. The opener shared a screenshot poking fun at oddly-worded Microsoft software rules. It's a classic low-stakes, time-killing off-topic thread typical of mid-2000s gaming forums.
Post your funny signs! Funniest ones i find will be put in this post.— ri0t
Thats what it actualy says on the MS rules.— ri0t
ITS A TRAP seriously (car commercial edition)
A banned Toyota ad, a wall of lulz, and an Admiral Ackbar joke born before it was a meme
A short, cheerful Links/Humor thread from December 2007 where hunterbrute224 shares a YouTube link to a (apparently banned) car commercial he found funny. A handful of regulars chime in with quick reactions ranging from mild laughs to confusion over why the ad was pulled, and someone jokes about redubbing the clip with Admiral Ackbar's famous 'It's a trap!' line — giving the thread its title. It's a low-stakes, of-its-era slice of forum culture: quick posts, xfire handles in signatures, and casual banned-content curiosity.
LOL Someone needs to redub it with Admiral Ackbar— hunterbrute224
lmao why do all the funny ads get banned?— dainbramaged
WWE Raw 2007 Full Game Share (RapidShare) with Homemade Cover Art
Someone slapped Jerry Lawler's face on a fake box art and dropped a full WWE game link in the Red Light District.
A post in the Red Light District > Games subforum sharing a full copy of a WWE Raw 2007 PC game via RapidShare, posted by YoshMitSu. The thread includes some homemade cover art edits (a Lawler image and a mashed-up Fkn0wned 360/Live cover) since a proper PC cover couldn't be found. Typical of the era's warez-sharing culture on gaming forums, with a casual, joking tone about the editing job.
Lawler, Like my editing— YoshMitSu
I couldn't find the PC Cover, so i mashed a Fkn0wned 360 w/Live— YoshMitSu
Age of Empires III: The Warchiefs rapidshare thread
Guru drops the Warchiefs expansion and the thread just becomes a nine-month 'thx' parade.
A simple file-share thread in the Games subforum of the Red Light District section, where user Guru posted a rapidshare link to the Age of Empires III: The Warchiefs expansion. The thread ran from April 2007 through January 2008 with a steady trickle of members dropping in to say thanks, ask for an unhide, or note the link had gone dead. Nothing dramatic here — just a classic low-key file-sharing thread typical of the era's forum culture, with a broad cross-section of regulars from Counter-Strike and Half-Life crowds passing through.
this looks sick thanx *EDIT* It says "File not found"— Ray Teh Ak
I wanted to play this game few days ago ^^— kaZad
Medal of Honor: Airborne share thread
A 2007 WWII shooter drop in the Red Light District — with the usual 'can I play online' confusion after
Regular prefeK posted up Medal of Honor: Airborne in the Red Light District's Games subforum back in November 2007, complete with a promo blurb about Boyd Travers and the 82nd Airborne. The thread is classic low-key filesharing-board fare: a handful of members thank him, one asks about online play, and prefeK clarifies you'd need a legit CD-key for that. It trickles on for weeks with straggler replies into December, ending with someone joking the download would come in a thousand parts.
Nah, to play online, you need a legit CD-key.— prefeK
well its gonna be like 1000 parts anyway but lets give it a try— mircomania92
MX vs ATV Unleashed Megaupload share thread
Old-school warez etiquette in five posts: drop the link, everybody says thanks, thread dies happy.
A short, unremarkable thread in the Red Light District > Games subforum where user blackxthink shared a Megaupload link for the racing game MX vs ATV Unleashed. The rest of the thread is just a handful of members dropping quick 'thanks' replies, typical of the site's warez-sharing culture. Nothing dramatic happened here — it's a small time-capsule of how casually full game downloads were traded on fkn0wned back in December 2007.
warez downloader!!!!!!! ty— TAZZY123

Steam Cafe Licences Scam Link Called Out
A brand-new one-post member drops a 'free games' download link — the regulars smell a rat instantly.
A first-time poster with a single post to their name shared a rapidshare link claiming to offer Valve's Steam Cafe program licences, dressed up with promotional Steam-for-Cafes marketing text. Established members immediately called it out as suspicious, with one flagging the poster's lack of history and another posting virus-scan links to back up the warning. The thread fizzled quickly, standing as a small snapshot of the forum's community-policing instincts against sketchy downloads.
Not trustable. 1 post lol. I say its a virus.— sanjuro3456
not safe.. dont be dumb— ballistic
Elder Scrolls Full Series Share Thread
One thread, one guy, the entire Elder Scrolls saga from DOS-era Arena to Oblivion's Knights of the Nine — all rar'd up and waiting.
A 2007 post in the Red Light District's Games subforum where member ArmedLlama compiled the whole Elder Scrolls catalog — Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind plus its Tribunal and Bloodmoon expansions, and Oblivion with Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine — complete with box art, plot blurbs lifted from wiki-style writeups, and multi-part download links. It's a classic warez-forum 'mega compilation' post: exhaustive, lovingly formatted, and clearly a labor of love for old-school RPG fans. The replies are short and grateful, with one user later reporting the links had gone dead, a common fate for these old fileden/downtown.vc hosted threads.
So awesome. Thanks for the games.— grynder
Dead links?— IGotPwned :[
Prey PC - Rapidshare Thread
Someone dropped a Prey download link in 2007 and the whole thread was just dudes saying 'noice'
A short 2007 thread in the Red Light District's Games subforum where user Jebus AUS posted a description and download link for the game Prey. Replies were brief and low-effort, mostly members thanking the poster or reacting with one-word approval. A staff member (HaSh) chimed in dismissively calling it a 'pointless thread starter,' and banned member [Kc]aC!d also posted, giving a small glimpse of the forum's casual piracy-adjacent culture and moderation banter.
thx man , i was about ta go buy tha game tomorrow , but hell , ill just download it now lol— mflames01
Pointless thread starter— HaSh
263 GB Games FTP thread — tail end of a warez-sharing mega-thread
One dial-up-defying FTP link, 263 GB of games, and a page full of members just saying 'thanks' and 'lemme see'
This is the final page of a long-running thread in Fkn0wned's Red Light District > Games subforum, where someone had shared access to a massive 263 GB games collection over FTP. By the time this page rolls around the actual content/details are long buried upstream — what's left is just a string of members dropping quick replies of thanks, hype, and requests to get in on it. It captures the everyday piracy-sharing culture of the board rather than any single dramatic moment.
tight, lemme see— Someone510

Lemonade Tycoon 2 FULL upload
The day fkn0wned's Red Light District got soft — a lemonade stand sim posted between the cheats and warez
A staff member named Arcade posted a full copy of the casual PC sim game Lemonade Tycoon 2 in the Games subforum, with a promo-style description of its features (multiple stands, upgrades, 19 locations). A couple of regular members, sanjuro3456 and hidendra, chimed in with casual thanks, noting the download was quick and calling it a decent time-waster. Low-key, low-drama thread — a quiet little relic of the site's file-sharing culture outside the usual cheat-and-hacking focus.
I guess if I get bored on Saturday's I can give it a shot =S Thanks Arcade.— sanjuro3456
why not i'm looking for a time waster thank you— hidendra
Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos + Frozen Throne game share (2007)
A 2007 game-sharing post that got the whole 'Red Light District' crowd downloading Azeroth all over again
A release-share thread in Fkn0wned's 'Red Light District > Games' subforum, posted by HaSh in September 2007, offering Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its Frozen Throne expansion for download along with install instructions. The thread reads like a typical warez-era share post — game blurb pulled from IGN, system requirements, screenshots, and a short reply chain of members thanking the poster. Nothing dramatic here, just a small slice of the site's software/game-sharing culture and a handful of regulars checking in.
thx hash, im gonna download to play with my friends.— anthrax_hax

BioShock - Direct Download Thread
A 2007 forum post shares a 'direct download' for BioShock — and the link was broken almost immediately.
A member named dark_skillz posted a promotional blurb and download link for the newly released game BioShock in the 'Games' subforum of the Red Light District section. The thread quickly filled with the classic forum ritual of one-word 'thanks' replies (ty, tyvm, thx man) from a mix of regulars and low-post newbies. One user, Archies, pointed out the download link was broken, which was a common fate for these old file-sharing threads. Nothing dramatic happened — just a snapshot of everyday game-sharing culture on the site.
the download link is fked up..— Archies
This looks good. Im bored so ill download. Thanx!— Archies
[RS.com] Age of Empires III download thread
Just a bunch of forum regulars saying 'ty' for a RapidShare link to a strategy game — peak late-2000s warez thread energy.
This was a Red Light District > Games thread where someone posted a RapidShare (RS.com) link to download Age of Empires III. The vast majority of replies are terse one- or two-word thank-yous from members, plus a couple of gripes about dead or split RapidShare links and needing an account to grab them. It ran across multiple pages from late 2007 into early 2008, showing steady but low-effort traffic typical of the site's file-sharing sections.
lol al lot of links to bad i dont have a rapidshare account lol— sickalicious
LOL. Looks fun X)— Exodus
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (Kane Edition) Upload Thread
A 7.68GB Tiberium Wars megaupload post and one guy losing his mind at how many mirror links there were.
A member named prinz posted a full game-share thread for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, complete with boxart, plot blurb, and system requirements, packaged as a 'Kane Edition' download split across a huge number of mirror links. Replies were short and reactive, mostly amazement at the sheer size of the download and the link dump rather than any real discussion of the game itself. Typical of the Red Light District > Games board's warez-sharing culture at the time.
OH MY FUCKING N00B!!! THATS A SHIT LOAD OF LINKS!!!!111oneoneone— Killz0rzz
show me this now:huh:— wickedSICK
Guilty Gear XX #Reloaded PC English Release Upload
A staffer's late-night love letter to Guilty Gear, complete with a busted online-play attempt.
A staff member posted an English-patched PC release of Guilty Gear XX #Reloaded in the Games subforum of the Red Light District section, gushing about the game's character variety, art style, and over-the-top move design. He noted his attempt to get the fan-made online play mod working had failed due to his own computer troubles, and gave notes on which extra files might be unnecessary. The post closes with the classic forum-era plea for reputation points in exchange for downloads.
Guilty Gear is an awesome fighting game, rivalling KoF for character uniqueness, personality, and all that stuff you know and love.— Nerf
+REP IF DOWNLOAD IMPORTANT— Nerf
AVG Anti-Virus cracked? (Requests thread)
Guy asks for a cracked antivirus — irony not lost on anyone
A member in the Red Light District 'Requests' subforum asked whether a cracked AVG Anti-Virus existed, and within a day got two different answers: one member linked an AVG Anti-Spyware package, then got gently corrected for missing the 'virus' part, prompting a second post with an AVG Anti-Virus Professional download. The rest of the thread is a string of low-effort bumps and thanks from other members over the following weeks, several noting their trial had just expired at a convenient time. Classic small-request-thread energy for a mid-2000s warez/cheat forum.
Isn't that anti spyware? I'm pretty sure he said anti virus ^^— Bradders
sweet, my trial period just ended! right on time! thanks!— funnydrummer
Windows XP Dark Edition v3 (ReBuild Version) software share
A custom dark-themed Windows XP build, shared and debated across three pages in the Software den of Fkn0wned's Red Light District.
This was a software-sharing thread in Fkn0wned's 'Red Light District > Software' section, centered on a custom modified/reskinned Windows XP release known as 'Dark Edition v3 (ReBuild Version).' Custom OS builds like this were common currency in mid-2000s cheat-scene forums, traded alongside game hacks and other warez. The tail end of the thread captured here is mostly the last posts and sign-offs from a couple of regulars as the topic wound down after 41+ replies.
This is the business we've chosen— Goodapollo
i am your bitch— Goodapollo
Windows Vista Tiny Activated Release
The one where AcidViper shrank Vista down to a 3GB pre-activated ISO and the forum just said 'thanks'
In the Red Light District > Software section, member AcidViper posted a release-scene style share of a stripped-down, pre-activated 'eXPerience' edition of Windows Vista Ultimate, complete with vLite-trimmed components, custom registry tweaks, and a checksum for verification against other trackers of the era. It's a classic warez-board release thread from October-December 2007: a wall of technical release notes followed by a trickle of low-effort replies ('sweet', 'nice', 'thanks') from regulars just bumping and thanking the poster. Nothing dramatic happened here — it's a snapshot of the mundane, routine software-piracy sharing culture that filled this part of the forum.

Vista Transformation Pack *Latest*
Turn your XP box into fake Vista — and 20 replies of pure 'ty' nostalgia
A software-sharing thread in the Red Light District's Software subforum where Supervisor 'Shifty.' posted a Vista Transformation Pack download to make Windows XP look like the then-new Windows Vista. The rest of the thread is classic forum filler: a long string of members dropping quick thanks, 'unhide' posts to reveal the download link, and a couple of jokes about sketchy alternatives like Limewire. Nothing dramatic happened here — just a snapshot of mid-2000s desktop customization culture and forum download etiquette.
thx mate got 13 threats trying to Dl it from Limewire lol ! <3— r3dh0tBbQ

Universal Math Solver software share
Fkn0wned to the homework rescue: doobie5 drops a math-solving program and the thread erupts in gratitude
In the Red Light District > Software subforum, longtime member doobie5 posted up a copy of 'Universal Math Solver v7.0.0.5 + Patch', a step-by-step math homework solving program, complete with a lengthy sales-pitch-style feature list lifted from the software's own marketing. Replies were short and enthusiastic, with members thanking doobie5 for sparing them from math class. A staff member (Bucketface) chimed in with approval, and a since-banned member (Visual0n!) also posted in the thread, giving a small glimpse of the community's churn of regulars and bans.
FUCK MATHS! :DDD:DDDDD:D:D:D:D:D:D ty doobie! <3— Paws
SHIT! N1 dude.— Bucketface
Avast! AntiVirus Pro Share Thread — Dead Link, Endless 'thx' Bumps
A dead download link and six guys still saying 'thx' anyway — peak 2007 forum energy.
A tail end of a software-sharing thread in the Red Light District > Software subforum, where someone had originally posted a shared copy of Avast! AntiVirus Pro. By this point in the thread the link had already gone dead, but members kept trickling in months apart to thank the OP anyway, note the broken link, or just leave a one-word reply. It's a small, quiet corner of the forum showing the low-effort bump culture typical of file-sharing threads on late-2000s cheat/warez boards.
thx a lot for sharing. It's hard these times to find any AV key working that someone shared.— skyzer

Kaspersky Internet Security v8 Beta share thread
A beta antivirus leak thread that turned into a two-month parade of one-word 'thx' posts
A Supervisor-ranked member named DCLXVI posted a lengthy, almost press-release-style rundown of Kaspersky Internet Security 8.0's features along with a direct download link in the Software subforum of the Red Light District. The thread ran from November through early December 2007, drawing a steady trickle of members dropping by mainly to say thanks or offer brief one-liners. It's a small, typical slice of the warez/software-sharing culture the board fostered, more notable for the parade of regulars who passed through than for any real discussion or drama.

LeetPoster - a warez auto-posting tool shared in Red Light District
The tool that promised to make you look like a warez-forum legend with one click
A short post by uploader LoRd Ragealot in the Software subforum of Fkn0wned's 'Red Light District' shared a tool called 'LeetPoster' (jokingly dubbed 'Lord PostAlotWarez'), linking to an example post on warez-bb.org and crediting another user, ThE UnXplAiNED. It's a typical low-effort share thread from the site's warez/software corner rather than a big discussion — just a drop-and-go post for other members to grab.

RocketDock v1.3.5 software share
The classic Mac-style dock app that made every Fkn0wned member's desktop look 10x cooler in 2008
A software-sharing post from 'LoRd Ragealot' (posting under the self-given nickname 'Lord PostAlotWarez') offering RocketDock, the customizable animated application dock, complete with a screenshot of his own setup and a quick rundown of its features and themes. It's a small, low-drama utility-sharing thread typical of the Software subforum under Red Light District, getting a single low-effort reply. A snapshot of the era when forums doubled as software repositories for desktop customization tools.
you have over 10 themes to choose from you can have it on top of windows or under neath them— LoRd Ragealot

Google Earth PRO Cracked Software Drop
A co-manager posted a cracked $400 Google Earth PRO and the thread lived on as a broken link years later.
In the Red Light District's Software subforum, forum co-manager Shifty posted a cracked version of Google Earth PRO, touting features like premium-resolution image saves and working GPS. Regular members dropped quick thanks and one-liners in reply, typical of the forum's software-sharing threads. By the time someone bumped it later, the file host (RapidShare, referred to as 'RS') had pulled the download, a common fate for these old warez links.
Install Google Earth PRO, once installed don't open it. Press finish then open the crack, install the crack then open Google Earth PRO.— Shifty
RS DELETED. DAMN......— Rose
