Leaked Windows 8 Build 7989 Share
A leaked pre-release Windows 8 build, dropped in the Red Light District back when it was still just a rumor to most of the internet.
A short share thread in the Red Light District's Software subforum, where member Grim posted a leaked early Windows 8 build (7989) for others to grab, gated behind the classic reply-to-unlock spoiler tags. It's a quick, low-drama post-and-thanks exchange typical of the warez side of the forum. Only one other member, Wizzrobe, bothered to chime in with a quick thanks.
Enjoy.— Grim

Windows 98 Warez Post
That time a mod dumped a Wikipedia essay on Windows 98 just to hawk a rapidshare download
A Super Moderator posted a lengthy encyclopedia-style writeup on Windows 98's history and features in the Red Light District > Software subforum, paired with password-protected RapidShare download links split across six archive parts. Replies were short and low-effort, with members chiming in to praise Windows 98 nostalgically and briefly debate it against XP and Vista. Classic early-2010s warez-forum energy: an OS nobody needed anymore, shared anyway, with two-line reactions from members.
i LOVE Windows 98 it kicks assssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss thanx man <3— olie22
Yeah windows 98 is good i have no problems with XP though. And from what iv heard vista sucks ass.— McLovin!
Bank Of America Fake Pages!
A 2007 phishing kit drop in the Red Light District, complete with obligatory rep-begging.
Member dark_skillz posted downloadable 'fake pages' mimicking Bank of America, pitched as an easy money-making scheme, and asked for +REP in return. The thread drew a string of low-effort bump replies asking to 'unhide' the download links, plus off-topic filler and emoticon spam typical of the board's Red Light District software section. There's no real discussion of the material itself — it's mostly a case study in early forum phishing-kit sharing culture and the reputation-farming behavior that surrounded such posts.
Fake pages for Bank Of America, big money can be made from this.. Very big money, download the pages below =] +REP Me And I Shall Return The Favour!— dark_skillz

GameCam v1.4.0.5 Registered Release Thread
A cracked screen-recorder drops in the Red Light District, and the nubs rejoice.
A software release thread in the 'Red Light District' section, where uploader LoRd Ragealot posted a cracked/registered version of GameCam, a tool for recording in-game footage with sound, credited to the RESURRECTiON release group. The replies are short and typical of the era: a couple of members thanking the poster for the upload, one joking he'll finally be able to record himself dying in-game, and a fourth reply just trying to 'unhide' content in the thread. Low-drama, purely functional software-sharing post that captures the casual piracy/cheat-scene culture of the board.
Nice needed this— kimpa60
yes now i can record myself gettin owned!— xStJimmyx
Windows XP & Vista USB Stick Edition
The thread that let you carry a bootable Windows in your pocket, back in 2007.
A December 2007 upload by LoRd Ragealot sharing a portable USB-bootable version of Windows XP and Vista, aimed at letting members boot a mini-OS from a flash drive for recovery or on-the-go use. The thread is short and low-drama, mostly polite thanks and a curious back-and-forth about whether it could double as a full Vista install versus just a portable boot environment. Typical late-2000s Fkn0wned software-sharing thread vibe — practical warez-adjacent tech tips, casual member banter, and the usual reputation/xfire signatures of the era.
xp AND vista. boobs— hybridrainbow
this looks good thx for sharing anarchie.— l3m0nz
[RS.com] Adobe CS3 Cracks
The thread where half the forum came just to say 'thanks' for their pirated Photoshop
A 2007 post in the Red Light District's Software subforum sharing cracked versions of the entire Adobe CS3 suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, InDesign, Flash, Acrobat, etc.) via RapidShare-style links. The thread quickly filled with low-effort 'thanks' replies typical of warez threads, a couple of troubleshooting exchanges, and one member warning that most crack downloads from sites like isohunt carried trojans or keyloggers. Nothing dramatic happened — just a routine but well-used piece of the forum's software piracy corner, running to three pages of gratitude posts.
guru you are a guru at this shit— Jack Bauer
just download it with crack on www.isohunt.com here ie 7 from 10 times trojan keylog or virus:S— masternick
Demonoid Invite Auction: One Bid, No Drama
One lonely invite, one bidder, and a gavel that fell fast — the tiny economy of a dead-simple auction thread.
A member called bragamuffin put up a Demonoid (spelled 'Demoniod') invite for auction in the Trading > Auctions board back in October 2007, starting the bid at 10 points. Only one other user, HaSh, actually bid, offering the opening 10 points, and bragamuffin admitted he'd hoped for more action before closing it out and declaring HaSh the winner two days later. A small, quiet snapshot of the site's internal points-based trading scene, where invites to private trackers like Demonoid were treated as valuable currency.
surely more bids i was hoping it would a bit highe...— bragamuffin
BIDDING HAS STOPPED HASH ONE— bragamuffin
Torrent Invites for Sale: TorrentLeech & Demonoid
A member hawks private tracker invites for forum points — until someone points out this isn't even an auction
In this 2007 Auctions subforum thread, member r3skyline offered invites to the private torrent trackers TorrentLeech and Demonoid in exchange for forum points, citing a weekly allotment from TL. A couple of members responded wanting invites, with one offering to bump the price up. Along the way, member Sonikk needled the OP for posting a straight sale in the Auctions section rather than running an actual bidding auction — a small but telling glimpse of forum etiquette policing in the trading boards.
this is not an auction, this is a shop..— Sonikk
I'd like one of each, will give 15 points tota...— TheLoneMan
MySpace Fake-Model-Agency Scam Tutorial
A banned member's fake-modeling-agency scheme for MySpace, filed under 'Random Tuts.'
A quick post in the Random Tuts subforum under Off-Topic, pitching a social-engineering trick that involved creating a fake MySpace 'model agency' account to trick women into sending photos, with a linked download attached. Posted by a user named Shifty (account tag r3birth?, already marked as Banned at the time of posting), it's a snapshot of the kind of edgy, low-effort 'life hack' content that circulated in cheat-scene off-topic boards. Typical of the era's laddish, boundary-pushing humor mixed with genuinely shady social engineering advice.
Get nudes from bitches easy!
Basically pretending to be a model agency, then send the content of the download file to sluts!— Shifty
Free Albums!!! (Random Tuts)
The thread that turned Fkn0wned into a bootleg record store for five minutes
A short 2007 post in the Off-Topic > Random Tuts subforum where a prolific uploader called LoRd Ragealot dropped a 'free albums' offer, hiding the actual content behind a reply-to-unlock wall — a very typical warez-forum move of the era. It's less a discussion than a drive-by upload thread, emblematic of how these boards doubled as file-sharing hubs alongside their cheat-database purpose. No real back-and-forth or drama recorded, just the classic bait-and-click setup.
free music ftw— LoRd Ragealot
Post to see the hidden content— LoRd Ragealot
[REQ] Regarding IP address'
A noob asks if you can trace someone or nuke them with just an IP — and gets roasted for it.
A newer member (S3NSA) opened a curious little thread asking whether IPs could be used to trace people or send viruses, and whether there were any other 'badass' tricks worth knowing. The thread quickly turned into a minor bicker between scuddzilla and forum regular HaSh over whether a joke reply about admins showing up was 'stupid,' derailing the topic for a few posts. It wrapped up anticlimactically with Sideways dropping the classic 'tracert' command as the only real answer given.
What a stupid fucking reply.— HaSh
Run > cmd > tracert *ip*— Sideways
[RS] 160 All-In-One's (AIO) Part 2
160 RapidShare AIO packs dumped in one post — the second helping of a massive early-2010s software hoard.
A Public Warez post by longtime member Kimmi (Smod, 'King of Random') dropping a huge second batch of RapidShare-hosted All-In-One software packs, credited as uploads by a user named Mustafa2403. The collection ranged from HTML editors and font tools to download managers, DVD copy software, and various utility bundles, each illustrated with a thumbnail image link. It sat in the Public Warez subforum under the Red Light District section, a giveaway-heavy area of the site alongside things like free Steam account drops.
Biggest AIO Collection World-Wide— Kimmi
Better be on and better be active!!
[RS] 160 All-In-One's (AIO) Part 3
160 RapidShare-hosted 'AIO' tool packs, dumped in one mega-post by the site's own super-moderator.
A Public Warez post in the Red Light District section, part three of a series cataloging over a hundred 'All-In-One' software packs (utilities, tools, ISO helpers, font packs, burning software, and more), each linked to a RapidShare download with a thumbnail preview. Posted by Kimmi, a long-tenured Super Moderator ('King of Random') with over 8,000 posts, this was standard fare for the forum's file-sharing culture of the late 2000s. The thread sits under the site's open 'Public Give Aways' promotion, part of an era when the board offered steam accounts and rapidshare bundles to keep members active.
Public Give Aways! Give away section now open for everyone!! Random steam and rapidshare give aways all day!!
Biggest AIO Collection World-Wide— Kimmi
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas Thread
A 2007 R6 Vegas thread where the replies were shorter than the game's install time.
A brief 2007 thread in Fkn0wned's Games subforum (under Red Light District) introducing Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas with a boxshot image. Replies were mostly one-liners of hype ('hell yeah', 'thx'), with one poster joking about the pirated nature of the copy shared. Several posters, including the OP and a couple of repliers, carried the 'Banned' member group tag, typical of the forum's revolving-door moderation style.
wow...now that's what i call pirating— dollahite7
hell yeah— oinkypig
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines download thread
One vampire-RPG download link, a borrowed FilePlanet account, and a chorus of 'thnx' — classic Red Light District filesharing.
A short 2007 thread in the Red Light District > Games subforum where a member shared a download link for the cult RPG Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, mirrored across a couple of file hosts and routed through a shared/borrowed FilePlanet account. The rest of the thread is the usual low-effort appreciation train — a handful of members dropping by to say thanks or that the game looked cool. Nothing dramatic, just a small, everyday piece of the forum's warez/file-sharing culture.
This is tested by me and works fine.— lol
sweet thanks— FatalGFX
[MU] [RS]Knights of the Old Republic: 2
A staff-posted KOTOR II upload thread that turned into two pages of one-word 'thx' bumps
A game-sharing thread in the Games subforum of Red Light District, posted by staff member Fluffman offering an upload ('MU'/'RS' links) of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II with box art and blurb copied from the game's description. The replies are almost entirely low-effort thank-yous and one-liners from members grabbing the download, typical of these upload threads. One reply jokingly praises Fluff and the admins for uploading 'the best shit,' claiming the earth would stop rotating if they died — a small nod to the community's reliance on its uploader-staff.
Fluff & other admin upload the best shit. If they died, im sure the earth would stop rotating.— anthrax_hax
+ R E P I F Y A L O V E M E !— Fluffman
Marvel Vs Capcom 2 (Dreamcast) Share Thread
A staff member drops a Dreamcast classic (with emulator) into the Red Light District games bin — one 'ty' and the thread goes quiet.
A short, low-key file-sharing post in the Games subforum of Fkn0wned's Red Light District, offering an English version of Marvel Vs Capcom 2 for Dreamcast bundled with an emulator. Posted by staff member ..//TOMCRUISE in January 2008, it's the classic RS.com-link-and-screenshot format typical of the era's warez-adjacent forum culture. Only one reply, a brief thanks from another member, shows it got at least some quiet love.
+rep if download.— ..//TOMCRUISE

StarCraft: Brood War rapidshare share thread
Someone dropped a Brood War download link back in 2008 — cue the 'unhide plz' chorus.
A short thread in the Red Light District > Games subforum where user Industry posted a Rapidshare link for StarCraft: Brood War, accompanied by a screenshot. The rest of the thread is the classic forum ritual of members replying just to 'unhide' the hidden download content, a common courtesy/spam pattern on file-sharing threads of the era. Nothing dramatic, just a quiet nostalgic snapshot of old-school warez-adjacent forum culture.
IGotPwned :[— Industry
Unhide, thank you!— hidendra
Mass Effect 2 (RAZOR1911) Warez Release Thread
A RAZOR1911-cracked Mass Effect 2 drop that kept the 'ty' replies rolling in for over a year
A warez-release thread in the Red Light District's Games subforum, posted by staffer duckbutta, sharing a multi-part upload of Mass Effect 2 cracked by the legendary scene group RAZOR1911, complete with cover art, screenshots, and the group's classic NFO ASCII art. The thread itself is unremarkable content-wise but shows the site's typical release-and-thank-you culture, with a long tail of members dropping quick 'ty'/'thx' replies from late 2010 through mid-2011. One reply stands out as a small slice of real life — a user saying their own disc was lost and the upload saved them after a torrent failed.
thanks! torrentz broke for this. my cd is lost and you saved me :)— junit5000
83 danke— thatguyjosh
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl RapidShare Upload (2007 warez-sharing)
A 34-part RapidShare drop of a classic — because in 2007, that's how you shared a game.
A one-post thread in the Red Light District's Games sub-board where member ArmedLlama shared a multi-language copy of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, split across 34 RapidShare .rar parts. Typical of the era's warez-sharing culture on Fkn0wned, with a brief personal note calling it 'one of my fav games.' No replies or discussion followed, just a straightforward file-share post.
One of my fav games!— ArmedLlama
Poppadoms catch fire in the microwave, Well mine do...— ArmedLlama
jacal Begs Forum to Teach Him to Steal Admin Password
A guy named jacal begs the forum to teach him to steal an admin's password — in broad daylight.
A short-lived thread in the Other Raging subforum where user jacal, posting under the 'Pro Spammer' rank (later shown as Banned), openly asked the community to teach him how to hack another forum and grab its admin password, even supplying the target's phpBB version. It's a classic slice of mid-2000s forum culture: brazen, low-effort, and almost endearing in its lack of subtlety. There's no indication anyone actually helped — the thread reads as a one-post plea into the void.
i wanna know how to hack a forum can some one teach me?? ppppppppplllllllllllllllzzzzzzzzzzzzz— jacal
the main thing i want is the admins password— jacal
Myspace Football Profile
A guy posts a blurred-out MySpace 'football profile' screenshot and gets instantly clowned for it
A low-effort August 2007 post from a new member sharing a screenshot of a MySpace football-themed profile, with everything conveniently blurred out. Months later two other members revive the dead thread just to call out the obvious self-promo attempt and mock the OP for hiding his own profile. A small, forgettable corner of Other Raging that captures the era's casual roast culture.
Why did you blur everything out? That was probably your own profile fag— boxiom
LMAO True.— Blaqk
Yet Another Rage: A CS:S Ragepost Regulars Actually Liked
A CS:S ragepost with screenshots that actually made the regulars laugh instead of groan
A 'rage' thread in Fkn0wned's Other Raging subforum where member anarchie65 posted screenshots mocking players from an in-game session, framed as comedic ragebait rather than genuine anger. The thread got a handful of approving replies from established members, including supervisors Janza and DCLXVI, praising it as a rare 'good' rage post that kept the raging tradition alive. Low-key, friendly thread typical of the board's raging-and-advertising culture rather than any real drama.
Title says it all!! read it all through so you don't miss some funny shit— anarchie65
Wow, a rager who actually rages. Good job man, and keep the ragers alive!— Janza
fuckin msn virus
One member's friend got hit by the classic MSN 'picture virus' and just would not stop pinging people about it
A short Rants and Raves gripe thread from December 2007 where staff member mr.N0Nam3 complains about the infamous MSN Messenger 'picture virus' spamming him via an infected friend's account. blackxthink offers the obvious fix (just block them), and forum manager Shifty drops in with minimal comment. A tiny, low-drama slice of the era when MSN worm links were a constant nuisance across gaming forums.
the fucking picture virus is fucking annoying one of my friends got it and every 2 seconds the virus fucking messages me.— mr.N0Nam3
Block him— blackxthink
Stephen Colbert vs Jon Stewart Rant
A 2007 rant about The Colbert Report devolves into a Jon Stewart vs. Colbert feud that got necro'd a year later
In this Rants and Raves thread from August 2007, member Marc347 kicks off a rant slamming Stephen Colbert as a shallow rip-off of Jon Stewart, arguing Colbert's humor relies on humiliating guests rather than genuine wit. The thread ran to at least three pages before staff closed it in January 2008 for being 'gravedigged' (revived long after it went cold), a common fate for old off-topic rants on the board.
I don't like Stephen Colbert. He makes me sick.— Marc347
He is a rip-off of Jon Stuart, who actually knows how to tell a few jokes.— Marc347
eBay Rage: Snipe-Bid Vinyl Decks Rant
Snipe-bid vinyl decks steal drives forum staffer to violence against a work bin
Staff member miLLer vents about being outbid on a secondhand decks/vinyl package on eBay in the last 20 seconds by another bidder, leading to a small destructive tantrum at his workplace. The thread is a classic Rants and Raves outlet where members commiserate and offer eBay sniping advice, with one reply veering into a casually racist remark about the winning bidder. Low-stakes, everyday forum drama typical of the section's 'rant about things, not people' rule.
this asian went and bought it only paying 1 more ... what a fucking nob'end i raged big time and booted the bin at my work into the door destroying the bin— miLLer
when you want something really bad you need to stay on top of it. dont bid early wait till right before like he did.— Jack Daniels
Fuck Winter! - Cold Weather Complaint Thread
Canadians freeze at -45C while Australians whine about 14C — the eternal winter beef, archived forever.
A casual rant thread in the Rants and Raves section where members griped about winter weather in their respective countries. Canadian members complained about brutal prairie windchill hitting -45C, while a member from Colorado lamented the long drive to the nearest mountain for snowboarding. Members from Australia chimed in with the opposite complaint, noting their 'winter' barely dips below 14C and Brisbane never sees snow at all. A lighthearted, low-stakes thread showing the global mix of the Fkn0wned member base.
Yup, I had a test at school today... It was a nice -45C with windchill aka like -22F.....cold as FUCK.— MONST3R
Winter in Australia is like the bottom end of Summer... we don't ever get snow...EVER!— Insatiable.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.39 Portable (NIX's RS.com upload)
The classic 'here's Malwarebytes on RapidShare, thanks bro' thread that ran from 2009 clean into 2010
A straightforward warez-share post in the Security Tools subforum: longtime uploader NIX posted a portable, pre-registered version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.39 hosted on RapidShare, complete with screenshots and changelog copy-pasted from the official release notes. The thread itself is unremarkable content-wise but shows the low-key, steady rhythm of the site's Warez section — members trickling in over more than six months just to drop one-word 'thanks' posts and bump the download. Nothing dramatic happened here; it's a good snapshot of the everyday file-sharing culture that filled fkn0wned's Red Light District.

AVG Anti-Virus PRO 8.0 + Serial (til 2018) — f0wh's Warez Post
A 2009 antivirus giveaway thread that just kept collecting 'ty' replies for pages.
f0wh, a well-known 'Retired and Respected' poster, dropped a copy of AVG Anti-Virus PRO 8.0 with a bundled activation code advertised to work until 2018, posted in the Security Tools subforum under Warez/Red Light District. The thread quickly turned into a long, low-effort gratitude chain, with dozens of members from Noobs to VIPs just popping in to say thanks or ask for a re-up. It's a pretty typical snapshot of the site's warez culture: useful software cracks shared freely, minimal discussion, and a community that valued the drop more than the conversation.
i hope the link(s) still work my virus protection system sucks— slingblade
Works up to 2018 ;) Enjoy!— f0wh
Guards EP Review by Crxss
A forum full of cheat sellers and warez kids pauses to review a free indie surf-rock EP
In the Music -beta- subforum of Art & Design, longtime member Crxss posted a short album review of the free 2010 EP by the band Guards, comparing them to Frankie Valli, the Beach Boys, and MGMT and giving it a 4/5. Fellow Graphics Crew member Emrys suggested adding a numeric rating, which Crxss promptly added. A tiny, low-key exchange showing the softer, non-cheating side of the community's culture.
This whole album makes for great easy summer listening, plenty of chill medleys to go around. Even better that it's free.— Crxss
maybe include a ranking eh? like x/5— Emrys
VIP Shares German Rap Duo Nate57 & Telly Tellz
A VIP member puts the whole forum onto German hip hop before it blew up
In the Music -beta- subforum, VIP member awshit shares tracks from up-and-coming German rap duo Nate57 & Telly Tellz, hyping them as future stars despite their humble beginnings, and notes their first single had already cracked the German charts in mid-2010. It's a short, low-key music-sharing thread rather than a big event, with only one reply from toastie joking about the language barrier. A modest but charming little time capsule of forum members putting friends onto music outside the usual American hip hop scene.
Maybe interesting for you guys listinging only to american Gangster Hip Hop.— awshit
Maybe if i knew german it would be better xD— toastie
Got more of this? (music recommendations thread)
A smod asks for songs like 65daysofstatic and the Graphics Crew turns it into a mini glitch-hop/IDM tastemaking session.
Kimmi, a well-known forum smod, kicks off a low-key music-sharing thread asking for tracks similar to 65daysofstatic's 'Aren't We All Running.' A handful of regulars from the Graphics Crew and 500 Club chime in with recommendations spanning glitch, dubstep, and the Brainfeeder label, plus a shoutout to Kashiwa Daisuke for long-form tracks. It's a small, chill corner of the forum's Art & Design section, more about shared taste than any drama.
I don't really know genres that well, I just know it's good music lol.— Crxss
dat song is niceee— toastie
How Does One Hack Into A Myspace Account?
A total noob asks the forum's dumbest, most 2007 question — and gets a two-word answer.
A brand-new member with all of 7 posts wandered into Computers General asking, in classic naive newbie fashion, how to 'hack into a myspace account.' A veteran member with nearly a thousand posts replied tersely, and the thread died there with no further discussion. It's a tiny, dated snapshot of the era when Myspace was still relevant and forums like this fielded constant low-effort requests from newcomers.
How can i hack into a myspace account? im a total noob so please bring it down a notch for me... lol THANKS! =D lol— mind_ninja
Just set up a fake login page.— _
Law bans Internet images that cause 'emotional distress'
Tennessee passes a law so broad it could make posting a picture online a crime — thread reacts with pure disbelief
A World News post by [VIP] Fopje (posting as 'The Associated Press') relays a story about a Tennessee law criminalizing online images that cause 'emotional distress' to anyone who sees them, not just the intended target. The two replies are short and dismissive, capturing the general 'is this real' reaction typical of the forum's news subforum. It's a quick, low-drama thread, but a nice little time capsule of early-2010s internet culture reacting to overreaching legislation.
you have got to be kidding me.— [FkN] Adora
lol fuck the united states man— [VIP] nullvoid
New MW2 Maps - The Stimulus Package (Video)
Remember when paying $15 for two old COD4 maps felt exciting?
A short news-share thread from vermiLLion announcing Modern Warfare 2's first DLC, the Stimulus Package, listing the price and the five maps (Crash, Overgrown, Storm, Salvage, Bailout) with a preview video. Replies are brief and casual — some hype for the returning COD4 maps, some grumbling about console exclusivity and Infinity Ward. A low-key, nostalgic little snapshot of the MW2 DLC era on the forum's Console Gaming section.
fuck infinity ward, consoles stealin everythin from pc, even its fkin maps— aimshot120
Overgrown brings back some memories. That map was the shit.— MrThirsty
Best Cartoon Porn, Really - Fo Real
The Porn Paradise thread that ran 11 pages deep on cartoon porn, because apparently that needed debating
A thread in the adults-only 'Porn Paradise' section of Fkn0wned.com, kicked off with an image post hyping cartoon porn content. It sparked a brief bit of confusion when a supervisor questioned whether the OP's post was even in English, quickly cleared up as just an image link. The thread stretched to 11 pages, suggesting it became a long-running dumping ground/discussion in the site's NSFW corner.
English or what?— Janza
yeah, just english - Check it out— Guru
Japanese Sex School - Uncensored (Rapidshare Thread)
Ten pages of one-word 'thanks' posts under a 2007 image dump that summed up an entire forum subculture
A May 2007 thread in the Porn Paradise > Images/Videos section where a member named Guru posted a set of adult images with a rapidshare link. The replies are almost entirely short, low-effort reactions ('thanks', 'nice', 'ty', 'DAMN o.O') from a rotating cast of regulars, typical of the image-dump threads that filled this NSFW board. The thread ran to ten pages, showing how much traffic this kind of content drove on Fkn0wned. A couple of the repliers (Xajino, [Kc]aC!d) were later banned members, a small footnote of the site's churn.
DAMN o.O— Meledia
thanks— lucifer4163
Sandee Westage Bathroom Sex Pics Thread
An 8-page image-dump thread that ran nearly a year on nothing but 'nice' and 'thx'
A long-running thread in Fkn0wned's 18+ 'Porn Paradise' section built around a single Photobucket-hosted image dump, kicked off by member 'effin' in April 2007. The thread mostly consists of members bumping for rep, thanking the OP, or posting one-word replies ('nice', 'thx', 'unhide') to unlock the hidden content, stretching from spring 2007 into early 2008. A brief bit of forum-etiquette friction appears when a member is called out for begging for rep in his post, to which he claps back that the mod does the same thing in his own signature.
Thanks. but plz dont whine for rep in ur posts. ppl will rep u if they want to rep u— Jebus AUS
People have it in their sigs, so i don't see what the whole big deal is. edit: you have it in your sig lol.— effin
Need to Buy a Nice Gaming Desktop ($1300-1700 CDN)
A 2007 build-your-own-PC thread where a Quad-Core rig for $1700 CDN was peak dream machine.
A member named logik92 asked fellow forum-goers for advice on building a gaming desktop in the $1300-1700 CDN range, monitor included. Other members chimed in with retailer suggestions like Newegg, BuyDirect, and TigerDirect, and logik92 progressively refined a parts list including an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 and an Antec 900 case. A mundane but charmingly of-its-era slice of the forum's Technology section, capturing the late-2000s PC building scene.
I've been wondering what site to use to build a fast, reliable, gaming desktop.— logik92
Your best bet is to check out www.newegg.com or.....— Pr0wL3r454
Intel or AMD? Norton or McAfee? NVIDIA or ATI? - The Great PC Poll
86 votes, three classic PC holy wars, one poll to settle them all (it didn't).
A multi-part poll thread in the Computers General section pitting Intel vs AMD, McAfee vs Norton vs AVG, and NVIDIA vs ATI against each other. Members weighed in with their hardware and software preferences, giving a snapshot of mid-2006 PC gaming tastes. Nothing dramatic here, just a laid-back tech-preference thread typical of the era, complete with a staff member joking about pirating antivirus software.
I like Mcafee better. Its cleaner and works much better!— J3DAH
i like norton because its sooooo easy to warez.— Rockforce
Adobe CS3 activation woes and the hunt for a working crack
A pirated copy of Photoshop's suite dies after two months — cue the forum's amateur IT support desk.
A member complains that his cracked Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium install stopped activating after a couple months, suspecting Adobe had blacklisted shared serials. Other members chime in with half-solutions: a suggestion to try the requests subforum, a member offering an exe crack he vaguely recalls came from a friend's FTP but balks at uploading the 143MB file, and some good-natured ribbing about teasing a fix without delivering it. Thread ends with someone dropping a corporate key as a workaround. Pretty typical low-stakes tech-support banter for the era, tucked away in the general computers section rather than the dedicated warez boards.
Actuallty, I just saw how big the cracks were... 143mb..... Don't feel like uploading that right now.— chooken
can you tell us where to find it instead of just posting it and rubbing it in our faces— Jack Daniels
Emo Girl MySpace Callout
A guy posted his girlfriend's teenage friend's MySpace and told the forum to 'do whatever you want with her' — nobody quite knew what that meant either.
A short, unsettling 2007 thread from Gametration.com's 'Other Raging' subforum, where a member identifying as 'Don Ruski' posted a link to a young girl's MySpace profile with a vague, hostile invitation for the forum to target her, apparently venting about her influence on his girlfriend. Another member's confused one-line reply ('So... what are we suppose to do now?') captures the aimless, low-effort raiding culture typical of these off-topic 'raging' boards. The thread cuts off quickly with no clear resolution, a small fragment of the casual harassment culture common on mid-2000s gaming/cheat forums.
she cuts herself and it pisses me off, she turned my girl into an emo... do whatever you want with her— Don Ruski
So... what are we suppose to do now?— pwn911
Phished Myspaces Thread
One member bragged about a stash of 'phished' Myspace accounts — and asked for a thanks
A December 2007 thread in the Raging and Advertising > Other Raging section where a member (posting under a banned account) shared a collection of what they called 'phished' Myspace profiles, promising to add more later and asking others to thank a specific user. Replies were sparse and low-effort, typical of the board's throwaway 'raging' subforum. It's a small window into the casual, ethically loose culture of the cheat scene's off-topic corners circa late 2007.
My Phished Myspaces! Add more later— Afteryou

Family Guy S08E08 RapidShare drop by founder TuxifieD
A one-line RapidShare drop and two 'thanks man' replies — the whole internet in miniature.
A brief 2009 post by forum founder TuxifieD sharing a RapidShare link to a Family Guy season 8 episode, branded with the fkn0wned.com watermark in the file name. Two members, jab2000 and Xreaper19, stopped by weeks apart just to say thanks. A tiny, unremarkable slice of the site's Red Light District warez section, notable mainly for being posted by the site's own founder.

thanks man— Xreaper19
[MU] Fringe Season 3 720p
One VIP, one show, twenty-one episodes — duckbutta's slow-burn Fringe Season 3 upload log stretched from September 2010 to April 2011.
This was a long-running download thread in the Red Light District's TV Shows subforum where VIP member duckbutta steadily posted 720p episode links for Fringe Season 3, updating the thread episode by episode over roughly eight months. It's less a discussion and more a release log, with a couple of members dropping in briefly to say thanks and share their love for the show. The thread reflects the typical MU (MegaUpload-era) TV-show sharing format common on the forum at the time.
ty i love fringe srlsy :)— h4x0rZ

Weekly TV Streaming Roundup - Feb 21-27
PopTart's weekly TV drop: Lost, 24, Survivor, and a dozen more streamed for the fkn0wned faithful.
A recurring weekly thread in the Warez > TV Shows subforum of the Red Light District section, where user PopTart posted streaming links for a full slate of that week's TV episodes — everything from Lost and 24 to Kitchen Nightmares and American Idol. The thread was maintained daily and closed at week's end, with dead links reported for replacements. It's a small, quiet post typical of the forum's warez-sharing routine, with one member dropping by to say thanks.
Will be Updated Daily Until the Week is over, then i will close the thread, If you still want to watch you can, if the link dies report it and ill get another one— PopTart
good stuff, much appreciated.— marz
I Am Legend DIRECT LINKS - NO Rapidshare Needed
A Christmas Day 2007 movie-link dump that ran three pages deep with a sneaky 'thank me' image swap.
Posted on Christmas Day 2007 in the Red Light District > Movies subforum, this thread offered direct download links for the movie 'I Am Legend' as an alternative to needing Rapidshare Premium. The original poster padded the post with a 'thank me by downloading this picture' gimmick, a common upload-etiquette trick of the era. A handful of members dropped in with quick thanks and quality-check replies before the thread rolled on for three pages.
LIMITED TIME DIRECT-DOWNLOAD LINKS(12 JANUARY 2008) = NO RAPIDSHARE PREMIUM NEEDED. ENJOY— laptops
Looks good quality, thanx— FatalGFX
[Rs.com] Avatar (2009) DVDRip — Warez movie post by PopTart
A pre-release Avatar rip posted by a forum legend, 19 days before it even hit stores.
A short-lived Warez subforum post in the 'Red Light District' section where longtime staffer/'Smod' PopTart shared a DVDRip of James Cameron's Avatar, posted weeks before its official retail street date. The thread is a typical hide-and-reply download post: cover art, technical specs (XVID, AC3 5.1 English/Na'vi audio, multi-language subs), and hidden content unlocked by replying. A handful of members dropped in over the following weeks just to unhide the post and say it worked, with no real discussion or drama beyond that.

Friends Series 1-10 Megathread
Ten seasons of Friends, one RapidShare megathread, and a chorus of forum thank-yous that ran on for months.
A staff member, Shifty, posted a consolidated set of download links for all ten seasons of the sitcom Friends in the Movies subforum of the Red Light District. The thread itself is light on discussion, mostly members from 2007 dropping in over several months just to say thanks and ask for reuploads once original links died. It's a good snapshot of the era's file-sharing culture and how these forums doubled as media-swap hubs alongside their gaming/cheat focus.
Shifty, you have no idea how appreciative i am of this thank you so much— Goodapollo
god lol this is hard having to download it like this lol but cheers— scuddzilla
The Simpsons Movie streaming link thread
Six pages of nostalgia over a free stream of The Simpsons Movie, circa early 2008.
A long-running thread in the 'Movies' subforum of the Red Light District section, where members shared a streaming link to The Simpsons Movie with 'great quality, no download' promised. By page 6 it's mostly stragglers dropping late thank-yous, a couple of quick greetings, and one user grumbling that a stream-only option was inferior to a download before still praising the film. Low-key, functional thread typical of the era's link-sharing culture.
No Download = GAY but good movie Ill find some way— hunterbrute224
BERRRRRRP ! ! ! ! THANX— ndbeedo
