Get Adobe Photoshop for Free Without Crack or Keygen
One member's dubious DLL-swap trick to 'unlock' Photoshop CS5 trial forever — instant thanks from a fellow noob.
A short, quintessential Red Light District post in the Software subforum: a member walks through downloading the official Adobe CS5 trial and replacing a system file with one grabbed from The Pirate Bay to bypass the trial limit. It's a bare-bones two-post thread — the original poster shares the method, and a second member chimes in with enthusiastic thanks that it worked. Totally typical of the warez-sharing culture on this board: casual, unpolished, and matter-of-fact about piracy.
and then, woila, you got free photoshop.(works for every Adobe shit)— matissetass
THAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKS ! WORK LIKE A CHARM !— iQuick
mIRC v6.31 + Patch-FWK release post
The forum's go-to IRC client gets a Y2K7 facelift — and a rapidshare link, naturally.
A Supervisor named DCLXVI posts the November 2007 release of mIRC v6.31 in the Software subforum of the Red Light District section, pasting the full official changelog (new TurboMilk-designed icons, script editor tweaks, dozens of bugfixes) along with a rapidshare-hosted 'Patch-FWK' download. It's a straightforward software-release/mirror post typical of the era, with one reply from a since-banned member. Nothing dramatic here, just a little time capsule of how software got shared and IRC clients got hyped on cheat-scene forums back then.
IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a virtual meeting place where people from all over the world can meet and talk— DCLXVI
mIRC is back with a new face! :-)— DCLXVI
Foldergaurd + Serial.
The thread where fkn0wned members shared a file-hiding utility so nobody's little brother would find their stash.
A member named Gospel posted a share of Folder Guard, a Windows utility for locking and hiding files and folders, in the Red Light District's Software subforum. The post included a description of the program's features and a password for the archive. Replies were mostly short thank-yous from other regulars, typical of a low-drama utility-sharing thread from late 2007.
HIDE YOUR SHIT!— Gospel

Rapid Hacker v4.2 (Skippy) — Red Light District release [dead link]
A password-walled release thread that's now just a broken link and a ghost error page.
This page was a Software subforum release thread in the gated 'Red Light District' section, hosting a tool called 'Rapid Hacker v4.2' credited to a user named Skippy. The archive capture mostly shows forum scaffolding: a password-gate prompt, a Project-Win advertisement for CSS hacks, an IPB 3.0 upgrade announcement, and news blurbs about a COD MW2 pub hack and Combat Arms hack release. The actual thread content is gone, replaced by an IPB error saying the forum couldn't be determined — a dead end typical of these old restricted 'release' boards.
We could not determine which forum this topic is in.
*FacePalm* Tons of errors in our update to IPB 3.0
YouTube Movie Ripper 1.1.0.0 upload
A little tool from 2007 for yanking YouTube videos onto your hard drive, posted by a Fkn0wned Supervisor.
A software-sharing post in the Red Light District > Software subforum, where Supervisor 'Sonikk' shared a program called YouTube Movie Ripper that let users search, preview, and download YouTube videos for offline playback, complete with a built-in FLV player. Typical of the era's file-sharing culture, it included a joke 'thanks' download link hosted on Rapidshare. A small but telling snapshot of pre-YouTube-downloader-crackdown internet utility sharing.
It's purpose is to allow you to download (rip) movies from YouTube.com and save them on your hard drive or Flash drive to play while not connected to the internet.— Sonikk
Feel like saying thanks for the download? Then download this file to support me— Sonikk
10 RPG Online Game Scripts.
A grab-bag of pirated browser RPG scripts, quietly forgotten by 2008 as members begged for reuploads.
In the Scripts & Templates subforum of Fkn0wned's Red Light District, member AcidViper dropped a bundle of ten downloadable RPG-style web game scripts (vB RPG Inferno, PHPrpg, Kings of Chaos clones, Legend of Green Dragon, and similar nulled/cracked software) for anyone wanting to run their own browser RPG site. The thread got a handful of quick 'thanks' replies from regulars over the following days. By early 2008 the original download link had died, and latecomer leonc888 was posting repeatedly begging for a reup or mirror, even offering his own hosting server, with no response before the thread trails off.
Download: password: Enjoy, -Acid.— AcidViper
any download this as it not online anymore even tried mirror sites who had this file— leonc888
MSN hack? — the phishing-101 thread
A newbie asked if MSN passwords could be 'hacked' — and got the full 2007 forum treatment.
A member (JoboX, referenced from earlier in the thread) asked whether there was a way to grab someone's MSN Messenger password while chatting with them. Responses ranged from mockery of the question's naivety to a vague description of a phishing-style scam page. The thread had already been necro'd once and was eventually closed by staff for being an old, gravedigged topic. Overall it's a snapshot of mid-2000s MSN account 'hacking' curiosity that was mostly social engineering dressed up as tech.
haha and i thought i was a noob— byrdman17
KKKKKKKKEWWWWWLLLLL— Dominator
[Guide] Heroes of Newerth
A DotA-clone guide dump that turned into an IGN swap between two VIPs.
VIP member iluvnic dropped a compilation of Heroes of Newerth resources — beginner and laning guides, terminology, wiki/database links — crediting 'hype from THETZ' for the info. It's a short, practical guide thread rather than drama; the only real interaction is S3RK asking iluvnic's in-game name and preferred game mode, with iluvnic replying his IGN was 'goshem' and that he usually played All Pick. A small, quiet corner of the Other Games board from the HoN era.
I usually play AP... my IGN is goshem.— iluvnic
What's your IGN? Do you play AP, BD? SD, EM?— S3RK
Age of Empires 3 Trainer by f0wh
99999 food, wood, and coins — courtesy of f0wh, hotfile edition after the rapidshare ban
A short trainer-release post in the Rebel Gaming subforum for Age of Empires 3, offering unlimited resources and noting it worked on the demo version. Posted by longtime member f0wh, a prolific poster with over 4,000 posts, whose rapidshare account had apparently been banned so the download was mirrored to hotfile instead. Typical of the era's trainer/hack release threads: a one-post drop, a quote block description, and content locked behind a reply-to-unlock wall.
99999 Food, Wood, Coins. Works with DEMO VERSION.— f0wh
My rapidshare got banned so have to use hotfile.— f0wh
Xbox 360 Profile Editor and Gamerpicture Injector
hitmanre drops an Xbox 360 profile-editing tool — one reply immediately clocks its griefing potential
A short, now-locked thread in the Rebel Gaming section where longtime member hitmanre shared links to a 360 profile editor and a gamerpicture injector, tools used for tweaking Xbox 360 profiles and achievements. The thread got only two replies: one from Unbeliveable joking about using it to get kids banned, and a bemused one-word reply from dakota over a month later. A small, forgettable console-modding post that captures the site's casual, edgy, anything-goes tone.
Now i can insert gay pics to get kids banned from their xbox— Unbeliveable
wtf?— dakota
How to Clean-Up Your Steam Registry
A one-line registry tutorial that mostly just collected 'thx' replies from the reply-to-unlock crowd
A short tutorial thread posted by forum smod PopTart (crediting a user named Nix) in the Tutorials section, explaining how to clean out leftover Steam registry entries — content was hidden behind a 'reply to see' wall, a common fkn0wned convention. Replies were mostly low-effort ('let me see', 'thx', 'asda'), though one member noted the newer Steam client had stopped storing user data in the registry the same way, still leaving a clientregistry.blob file behind. Nothing dramatic here, just a small slice of the site's everyday tutorial traffic and its reply-gated content culture.
new steam client doesnt save user data in registry, suspiciously... but its still got the clientregistry.blob file— aimshot120
Let me see— sweetheart
How To Ruin Someone's Cell Phone
A 2010 'prank tutorial' on flooding someone's phone with texts until their bill (or sanity) breaks.
Member Mufleh posted a short tutorial in the Tutorials board outlining two crude methods for spamming a target's phone with endless text messages using web-based SMS gateways and a phone's own resend function. It's a small, casual thread typical of the site's prank/tutorial culture — quick to post, low effort, aimed at annoying an ex or a 'retard kid.' pheonixinwater chimed in approvingly, already scheming about who to target, and Mufleh egged him on. No real drama, just a snapshot of the site's juvenile mischief-sharing vibe.
if u know a retard kid or EX GF You will have fun and they will cry over the Bill :p— Mufleh
Sweet as tutorial bro, keep em coming! Just trying to think of a target now ;)— pheonixinwater
Adobe Illustrator CS3 Classroom in a Book (RS ebook share)
Someone dumped a whole Adobe design textbook here in 2007 — because why buy software manuals when Fkn0wned has you covered
A short, quiet thread in the Tutorials sub-board of the Red Light District where user AcidViper shared a two-part RapidShare link to the Adobe Illustrator CS3 'Classroom in a Book' guide as a CHM ebook. It's a small piece of the site's broader ebook/warez-sharing culture rather than a discussion thread — a handful of members dropped by to say thanks or ask how to get the files working. Nothing dramatic happened; it's a snapshot of the era's casual, no-questions-asked file-sharing norm among a gaming/cheat community that also traded design and software tutorials on the side.
Enjoy, -Acid.— AcidViper
how do u get this to work?— cctnfg
How To Make A Simple Spammer (VB.NET Tutorial)
A five-minute VB.NET crash course in making a chat-spam bot — beginner tier only.
A short beginner tutorial posted in the Tutorials board by member Shine, walking through building a bare-bones auto-text-sender using Visual Basic 2008 (two buttons, a textbox, and a timer). Fellow member lam3r chimed in acknowledging it was extremely basic but a decent intro to VB.NET's GUI and timers for total newcomers. Shine promised a follow-up 'advanced' version with screenshots and video, though it's not part of this page. Low-drama, low-key thread — just a starter coding lesson typical of the forum's tutorials section.
well about as simple as it gets, but yeah i guess worthwhile to know if you have barely any experience with VB— lam3r
Something simple for the ones new to vb.net— Shine
Make Firefox Run 10 Times Faster!
The old about:config trick everyone swore made Firefox fly — brought to you by 2007 dial-up/ADSL wisdom.
A tutorial posted by staff member Sonikk in the Red Light District's Tutorials subforum, sharing a popular era-appropriate tweak for speeding up Firefox by editing hidden about:config network and rendering settings. Classic mid-2000s 'browser optimization' folklore that circulated across many forums at the time. Nothing dramatic here, just a helpful staff post with a 'use at your own risk' disclaimer.
Make firefox run 10 times faster by following these simple steps— Sonikk
Use at your own risk!— Sonikk
Get Free Hosting Accounts (reply-to-unhide thread)
A classic 'reply to unhide' tutorial thread that mostly turned into a chorus of 'unhide' and 'ty'
A Tutorials-board thread from April 2009 where user at3b posted a guide (hidden behind a reply-to-unlock wall) claiming to offer free web hosting accounts. As typical for this kind of post, the replies are almost entirely one-word 'unhide'/'ty' bumps from members trying to reveal the hidden content, with a bit of off-topic joking and one user noting they got hit with an anti-bot/cheating ban message unrelated to the topic. No real discussion of the hosting method itself takes place in the visible text.
unhide oh lol "You have been banned because our systems have flagged you for using scripts (or bots), cheating, or other reasons."— cjainy
fuck yo couch niguhhhhhhh— OmfgzATree
Windows 7 Tips And Tweaks
A hidden-content tweak dump that people were still thanking xXHeistXx for months later
A short tutorial thread in the Tutorials section where longtime member xXHeistXx posted a collection of Windows 7 tips and tweaks behind the forum's standard 'reply to unlock' hidden content wall. The replies are mostly quick one-word thank-yous spread out over several months in late 2009 and early 2010, showing the thread had lasting traffic as new members found it well after posting. Nothing dramatic happened here — it's a small, typical utility thread of the era, useful more as a snapshot of forum culture (hidden-content gating, bump-for-thanks etiquette) than for its actual content.
thanks just installed this over the weekend.— marz
danke schoooon— aimshot120
Xbox 360 Modding Guide (2007)
l3m0nz drops a 2007 Xbox 360 modding guide in the Red Light District — Dr.Lol says he'll get around to it eventually
A short-lived tutorial thread from late 2007 in the Tutorials sub-board of the Red Light District, where user l3m0nz posted a download link claiming to show how to modify an Xbox 360 to run burned games. Reception was mild — a couple of members chimed in with brief, low-effort replies rather than any real discussion or follow-up. Notable mainly as a snapshot of the console-modding hype of that era and for l3m0nz's memorable 'yougotrickrolled.com' tagline, posted while banned.
This shows you how to hack/modify your xbox 360 to run burn games uplauded by me— l3m0nz
I must try this some time— Dr.Lol
Bat to Exe Tool Request
A quick tool request closed out in under two hours flat — solved for jesus.
A short, mundane General Discussion thread on Fkn0wned.com where a member named CratycloS asked for a link to a tool that converts .bat files into .exe files, recalling having seen it posted somewhere on the site before. Fellow member hunterbrute224 quickly replied, recalling he'd released the tool himself years earlier bundled with an icon pack, and dug up the old filefront links (even noting it was sitting in his own forum signature the whole time). A moderator closed the thread almost immediately with the classic tagline 'solved for jesus,' typical of how fast small requests got resolved on this board.
Yeah I released it with a pack of Icons. It got lost in history LOL, Ill get you the link though.— hunterbrute224
solved for jesus— mr.N0Nam3
Phishing hoster
Someone shares a 'great hoster for phishing websites' and the thread just says thanks
A member posts a link to a web hosting service they claim was good for hosting phishing pages, noting it stayed up for months before takedown. A handful of regulars reply with quick thanks or a simple 'unhide' to reveal the hidden registration info, with little further discussion. It's a small, low-drama utility-sharing thread typical of the forum's gray-hat underbelly circa 2009.
Tis a great hoster for phishing websites. You can have it up for months before they take it down.— iamrag
thanks, this site is actually pretty sweet— lamer12
Help Making a Hack
New guy wants to learn hacking from scratch — gets told to go learn C++ first
A brand-new member asks the Support forum for help getting started making a cheat, sparking a small back-and-forth about whether you actually need C++ knowledge or can just get by with 'ripped source code' and some tinkering. Regulars debate the merits of learning to code properly versus just hacking together (pun intended) existing leaked code, while others chime in just wanting C++ tutorial links for themselves. It ends with the OP claiming he'd already built an aimbot and no-recoil and just needed help compiling it, which a Supervisor then dropped in on.
not rly, only thing you need is some intelligence and some ripped source code, a bit of mangling and scrambling and your good to go— Wankst0r
Yes tht is all i need to do. I already made all the aimbot and norecoil, etc, and now jus need to compile.— lilkooz
-dxlevel 81 and heapsize 524288 FPS tweak thread
A newbie couldn't get the classic FPS-boost launch commands working — turns out he was typing them in the wrong place entirely.
A member named JGSkpx0389 asked for help getting old-school FPS-boosting console commands (-dxlevel and -heapsize) to work in Counter-Strike: Source, confused about why the console rejected them. Supervisor DCLXVI explained these belong in Steam's launch options rather than in-game console, and the thread got moved to Support. Regular member The Moose chimed in with his own preferred settings and FPS numbers, and the original poster thanked everyone for clearing it up — a small, ordinary tech-support exchange typical of the CS 1.6 Support subforum in late 2007.
You don't put that in console, you put that in the startup options for the game.— DCLXVI
-heapsize "value" in launch options, mat_dxlevel 80 in you config, that's what I do.. I have avrage 260 FPS so yea.. GG.— The Moose
[HOT!] Download Direct - Rapidshare Downloader Share
A guy named Ziink drops his own download tool, gets called out for pushing a 'cracked' program that mangles .rar files
A member called InzaneHacker (aka Ziink) posted a small utility called 'Download Direct 1.04' meant to grab files from Rapidshare automatically, complete with a demo video hosted on his own site and a Megaupload link behind a hide-tag. The thread is short and friendly, with a few members (scuddzilla, olie22) chiming in with quick approval, until Inzane admits the tool corrupts .rar files and someone dryly jokes that Rapidshare itself was never that reliable anyway. Classic Red Light District > Software fare from the file-sharing era of the forum — low effort, high enthusiasm, no real drama beyond a bug report and a snarky one-liner.
maybe because rapidshare is 100% bulletproof?— AveLoN
found bug: all .rar files get corrupted =\ I reported the bug - hopefully fixed in 1.05!=)— InzaneHacker
DDoS 5 1.5 Final tool release thread
A DDoS tool release thread that just kept running — five pages of 'thanks' and 'nice' long after the download stopped mattering.
This is the tail end of a long-running release thread in the Red Light District > Software section, sharing a tool called 'DDoS 5 1.5 Final' billed as 'the best DDoS tool yet.' By page five the actual content had faded into a trickle of short bump/thank-you replies from members, typical of how these old tool-release threads lingered on for months. It's less a story of drama and more a small artifact of the site's software-sharing culture at the time.
thanks alot— crazy5abimunda
nice— freak_uk
YouTube Grabber 4.2.6 share thread
Before yt-dlp, there was a rar file on Rapidshare and a Supervisor named DCLXVI handing it out.
A 2007 post in the Red Light District's Software subforum sharing 'YouTube Grabber 4.2.6', a small utility for pulling downloadable video links from YouTube, Google Video, and other streaming sites of the era. Posted by forum staffer DCLXVI with the usual feature list and mirrors on Rapidshare, Easy-Share, and FileFactory. Drew a couple of quick, low-key thank-you replies from regular members — a typical low-drama utility-sharing thread from the site's early software archive.
rly thanks— Killermx
thanks mate-— r3dh0tBbQ
CoD MW2: Way Out of "Contingency" (glitch/skip video)
PopTart drops a quick MW2 mission-skip video and gets a one-word thank-you.
A short, low-key Console Gaming post from December 2009 where longtime forum staple PopTart shares a hidden YouTube link showing an alternate way out of the 'Contingency' mission in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It's a tiny, functional thread typical of the era's gaming boards — a quick tip-share with barely any discussion, just a single 'ty' reply before it faded into the archive.
This video is showing you a NEW way out of the mission Contingency in Modern Warfare 2!— PopTart
ty— sohjo
How People Make Some Real Cash (and How to Protect Yourself)
A late-2007 'making money online' tutorial thread that ended, predictably, with a PayPal tip jar request.
This was the tail end of a long-running Random Tuts thread from early 2008 about ways to earn money online and avoid getting scammed while doing it, originally kicked off by a member named AKULA back in late 2007. By the time this page picks up, the thread has stretched across five pages with a trickle of members thanking the OP or reacting with short one-liners. Classic mid-2000s forum energy: a semi-useful guide buried in filler replies, capped off by someone quoting the original post and jokingly (or not) asking readers to PayPal them five bucks if they found it helpful.
Wow, thank you for the tip, its never happened to me but would be devastating if it did.— Elleray
If you liked this tutorial send $5.00 to my paypal— =jr=
How to Hack Windows With a Limited Account
A 2007 tutorial thread on bypassing limited Windows accounts, met mostly with shrugs and 'unhide' spam
A late-2007 thread in Gametration's Off-Topic 'Random Tuts' subforum, started by lragnarok11 promising a tutorial on getting around limited Windows account restrictions. Replies were mostly low-effort bumps and one-liners rather than real discussion, with a few members just posting 'unhide' to reveal hidden tutorial content, a classic tuts-board ritual of the era. One reply from Paws suggests just using a boot CD instead, and the thread trails off into filler posts with no real payoff visible on this page.
sounds interesting,, or u could just use a boot cd..— Paws
Thank the lord for proxies.— XyHavix
Get Your Steam Account Un-Disabled! (Random Tuts)
A 2007 tutorial thread on talking Steam support into lifting account disables — results depended entirely on which rep you got.
Member blacknight00 posted a tutorial claiming success in getting disabled (not VAC-banned) Steam accounts restored by contacting Steam support with a specific appeal message and proof of purchase. Staffer AKULA pushed back, noting the method's success was inconsistent and depended on the mood and personality of whichever Steam support rep handled the ticket — it hadn't worked for him. A few other members chimed in briefly, with mixed enthusiasm. Typical of the Random Tuts subforum: a practical, slightly shady lifehack shared community-to-community with immediate real-world pushback in the replies.
Yeah.....this doesn't work for everyone, it depends on that the guy from steam(guy that works there). His mood, and his personality.— AKULA
lol, pwnt, this is what i said... worked for 3 of my accounts.— blacknight00
Hacking PayPal & Hacking with LimeWire — video tutorials thread
A member's self-promoted 'PayPal hacking' YouTube tutorial pulled 10k+ views before anyone blinked
A coder-ranked member named Gate Guardian posted links to two of his own video/text tutorials, one about manipulating LimeWire and one billed as 'Hacking Paypal,' plugging his YouTube channel for subscribers. The replies were short and low-effort, with one member jokingly referencing shared 'Runescape passes' and complimenting his accent, and another just dropping a one-word 'nice'. It's a small, low-drama Random Tuts post typical of the era's self-promotion culture rather than any serious technical exchange.
HAHA!!!! Good work man I love this i got the same runescape passes as you did xD i like your accent— AlbinoBoi
nice... Xfire: bob— posmen007
Speed up your computer in 10 minutes...
A 27-step PC speed tutorial from '07 that pulled in a small crowd of 'interesting' replies and shrugs
A tutorial thread posted in the Random Tuts sub-forum under Off-Topic, offering a 27-step guide to speeding up a computer. Posted by longtime/founding-looking member Shifty (member #6, later banned), it drew a handful of short, low-effort replies typical of a filler tutorial thread rather than any real controversy. The thread ran long enough to span 17 pages, suggesting it stuck around as a reference/bump thread for a while even if the early replies were unremarkable.
Interesting.— Strikewire
Unhide— lragnarok11
How to Go on AIM/MSN on iPod Touch
Before the App Store existed, fkn0wned users were already figuring out how to IM from an iPod Touch.
A short 2008 tutorial thread from the Random Tuts subforum on getting AIM and MSN messaging working on an iPod Touch, back when this required jailbreaking rather than a simple app download. The original post drew a modest reply, with one member plugging their own jailbreaking guide that unlocked third-party apps like MobileChat as a better alternative to using Meebo in a browser. Low-key, practical, of-its-era tech-tips thread typical of the site's tutorial culture.
been looking for this thanks— Atmosphere
noob tut actaully check out the tut i just wrote on jailbreaking your ipod— UserID_7588
How To Spam With iMacro (Forced-Reply Gimmick)
A tutorial thread that opens with a member demanding forum strangers chant 'laptops is god' just to see the content
A tutorial-style thread in Gametration.com's Random Tuts subforum, ostensibly about using iMacro for spamming/automation. The OP, user 'laptops', gated the actual tutorial behind a hidden-content wall, requiring replies to say a specific phrase praising him before he'd unhide it — a classic forced-reply gimmick common on cheat/tut forums of the era. Early replies show at least one member playing along to unlock the content.
say laptops is god......... then say unhide— laptops
Laptops is god, unhide please.— pwn911
How to Download YouTube Videos & Get Them on Your iPod
A 2007 tuts thread that's basically a time capsule of pre-YouTube-Music, pre-smartphone media hoarding.
A quick, low-key tutorial thread from December 2007 where member mud1337 shared a Firefox add-on for downloading and converting YouTube videos to get them onto an iPod or convert to mp3. It got a handful of short 'cool thanks' replies from regulars before fizzling out — the kind of small, useful post that quietly filled out the Random Tuts subforum without any real drama.
Get this firefox addon http://www.downloadhelper.net/ have fun— mud1337
hmmm cool thanks— banak
How To Mount ISOs (Windows XP)
Before daemon tools was a household name, fkn0wned had you covered on mounting ISOs the old-fashioned way.
A tech-help thread in the Games subforum walking members through using a free virtual CD-drive tool to mount ISO files on Windows XP, complete with a step-by-step install and setup guide. Posted by longtime/notable member -Still Life-, whose profile shows a 'Banned' group status and over 3,300 posts, giving it that classic early-2010s cheat-forum flavor of practical tech tutorials mixed with colorful member titles. It's a mundane but nostalgic slice of the era when burning, ripping, and mounting discs was everyday computing knowledge.
We Moderate Your Fun!

Half Life 2: Episode One - The Full Game...
A staffer shares how to unlock Episode One for free — because who actually paid for it?
A [Staff] member named Fluffman posts a method for CS:S owners who got Half-Life 2 bundled with their Steam account to access Episode One without buying it, complete with screenshots. It's a short, casual thread in the Games subforum with a handful of replies thanking him — the kind of low-stakes 'here's a freebie' post typical of the site's Steam-era piracy-adjacent culture.
This is for anyone who like me bought a CS:S account bundled with HL2 and couldn't be bothered to buy EP1 just to see what happens next... Just put it in a folder and run it!— Fluffman
hmmm thanx!— pewpewpew
Best Hacking and Pen-Testing Programs
One link dump, eleven 'thanks' posts, and a guy screaming ANARCHY at 8am — the platonic ideal of a Fkn0wned share thread.
A share-thread in the Security Tools subforum where user Lipscomb posted a hidden-content link to a roundup of pen-testing/hacking tools sourced from hacktutors.info. The rest of the thread is the classic forum ritual of members bumping the post with 'ty', 'nice', and 'thanks' over the following weeks in order to unlock the hidden download link, with essentially zero actual discussion of the tools themselves. Notable only for its length and for capturing the low-effort bump culture typical of these download-gated boards.
Hope this helps y'all reek havoc on civilization!!! ANARCHYYYYY!!!!!! what? anyways.... plus rep... NAOW!!!!— Lipscomb
Sharing is caring. thanks!— EntityPacket
ESET v4 - The most easy risk free way
The forum's go-to trick for endless free antivirus, courtesy of Lethal24
A 2009 Warez/Security Tools post by Lethal24 offering a simple method to keep ESET (NOD32/Smart Security) antivirus running indefinitely without patching, framed as safer than typical crack methods. The thread ran quietly for months, mostly low-effort 'thanks' replies from a mix of regular members and a couple of banned/notable names, showing how casual and long-lived these utility threads could get on the board.
The most simpliest risk free way to get ESET v4 or v3 for that matter— Lethal24
Selling steams PM me— Sasuke2525
ESET NOD32 Pre-Cracked Release Thread
A free-antivirus giveaway that outlived the forum itself — bumped and re-thanked seven months later
A classic Warez > Security Tools release thread where veteran member f0wh shared a pre-cracked copy of ESET NOD32/Smart Security with a long-life activation, hidden behind an 'unhide' spoiler tag as was custom on the site. The thread is mostly low-effort gratitude posts ('thanks', 'unhide', 'nice') from a rotating cast of regulars, with little discussion beyond confirming the download worked. It got bumped half a year later by a user whose original copy had crashed, and staff member NIX shuffled it into the correct subforum, showing the mundane housekeeping side of running the board.
Sorry to bump an old topic, other version crashed :(— Virter
Moved to the correct section— NIX
One-Key Session, Rank & Top Script
Bind one key to spam your stats — F5 and let the console do the bragging for you.
A short, unremarkable CS:S Scripting post from December 2007 where member 4Saken (Forsaken Shadows) shared a simple autoexec.cfg bind that used F5 to sequentially call 'session', 'rank', and 'top' with waits in between. A couple of members thanked him or chimed in briefly, and the thread fizzled out after five posts with no real drama — just a quick, practical utility script typical of the era's console-command tinkering culture.
This script binds F5 to say session, rank, and then top with waits in between so u dont have to— 4Saken
Cool, I have been wanting to make these but never bothered— Inferno_Scripts
Wheres my gun?! - the toggle-weapon script thread
A goofy hide-your-gun bind that let you play dumb before pulling out and splitting some skulls.
Co-Manager Shifty dug up an old CS:S script from his cstrike folder that let a player toggle their weapon away and back with a bind, mainly used to bait opponents into thinking they were unarmed noobs before striking. A handful of members chimed in with short reactions, and one asked how the trick actually worked, but the thread stayed low-key with minimal discussion. It's a small, quiet corner of the Scripting subforum showing the kind of casual gimmick-sharing that filled CS:S customization threads back then.
Basically whatever you bind it to takes away you're gun and then press it again and it brings it back.— Shifty
hows this take away your gun?— -Darkness-
ZeToN's "say spam" script for CS:S
One member's numpad-bound trash-talk script, immortalized forever in the Scripting subforum
A member named ZeToN posted a simple CS:S console script that bound a bunch of taunting/spam 'say' messages (including a plug for fkn0wned.com and rival site fpsbanana) to numpad keys, offering it up as a beginner-friendly script even though it wasn't anything advanced. The lone reply from Sasio dismissed it, claiming a 'hide hack' was the better approach and that he'd already released one himself. Small, low-drama thread, but a nice time capsule of the era's script-sharing culture and mild sniping between members.
it's not hard to make a say spam script but i'm posting this anyway if someone would like it enjoy;)— Zeton
your suppesed to use hide hack and ive released one of these already— Sasio
CS:Source Radar Alpha Adjuster
A quick little script to fade your radar transparency — modest thread, four replies, one 'ohmy' emoticon of confusion.
A short, unremarkable Scripting subforum thread from late December 2007 into New Year's Day 2008, where member 4Saken (aka Forsaken Shadows) shared a small CS:Source autoexec.cfg script to adjust in-game radar transparency. A few members replied with quick reactions — one asking about the console variable, one seemingly confused, and one calling it potentially useful. Nothing dramatic, just a small everyday utility-script drop typical of the scene at the time.

Knife-Scout Switch Script Help
A noob wants a knife-then-back-to-scout switch script — and gets asked the eternal forum question: learn it, or just take the code?
A short, low-drama thread in the CS:S Scripting subforum where a member called 'dismal' asks for help building a mouse1 weapon-switch script (shoot with the scout, auto-swap to knife, then back). Regular 'Inferno_Scripts' responds with the classic fork-in-the-road question of whether the OP wants to learn the scripting logic or just get handed a ready-made script. Dismal opts to actually learn how to make it. A tiny, everyday slice of the CS:S scripting culture that filled this board.
Do you want to know how to make it, or do you want the code to do that?— Inferno_Scripts
I want to learn how to make a script that can do that— dismal
Halo Custom Edition, now portable on your U3 flash drive
One member spent two hours making Halo CE run straight off a USB stick — and flexed about it hard
A member named hunterbrute224 took an existing 'portable Halo CE' build shared on the forums and reworked it to run on U3-format flash drives, posting a screenshot as proof it worked. The post is dripping with self-congratulatory bravado ('Yeah I know Im awesome') and teases upcoming portable Steam game builds. A short handful of replies follow, including a friend appearing in the screenshot and a couple of quick 'ty' acknowledgments — a low-key, everyday thread typical of the Other Games corner of the forum.
Yeah I know Im awesome arent I— hunterbrute224
Yay im in the pic =] Thanks for it bro. Ha, you were soooo excited.— AcidViper
A Bit of Help: School Blocks
Kid tries to remote into his home PC from class after the school locks down LogMeIn — 2007 tech-support nostalgia in full effect.
A member named darkmagi1509 posts asking for help getting around his school's internet filters, hoping to remotely access his home computer via LogMeIn now that the site itself is blocked. He mentions already knowing some basic command-prompt and batch-file tricks and is looking for an alternative method or site. The thread gets a handful of replies ranging from a suggested tutorial to a dismissive jab, ending with a workaround being tossed around and a mention that the teacher pushed students toward Firefox instead. Classic small-scale tech-help thread typical of mid-2000s gaming forums where kids traded workarounds for locked-down school computers.

Need Help - HTML Over Images
A 2007 coder's dilemma: how do you lay text over a picture without it looking like garbage?
A member named SpaceOddity09 asked for help figuring out how to overlay HTML text on top of images, referencing a sponsor layout on an external site as an example and even sketching a crude diagram to illustrate the question. A few members chimed in with basic pointers, from linking W3Schools to explaining table-background tricks, in a low-key, helpful exchange typical of the Technology > Computers General board.
I can't remember how to put html over actual images.— SpaceOddity09
The way i do it is by creating a table, then setting the image as the background for the table.— miLLer
nasty cunt of a virus (Trojan Vundo help thread)
Downloaded some shady .exe, got wrecked by Vundo, and the whole Computers General board piled in with fixes.
Member |-noodle-| admits to running a sketchy executable and getting hit with the Trojan Vundo, complaining about recurring popups and repeated Symantec detections despite trying Spybot, Ad-Aware, ZoneAlarm, and Registry Mechanic. A handful of regulars chime in with their own go-to removal tools and suggestions, while the OP explains they can't just reformat because they've got 200GB of personal files with nowhere to back them up. It's a classic late-2000s tech-help thread: everyday malware problems, a stack of well-meaning tool recommendations, and someone weighing a risky non-destructive format against losing their whole media stash.
ok, so like a total fucking idiot i downloaded shady software and activated the exe. BAM infected!— |-noodle-|
i would love to reformat, but i have 200 gigs of personal files...and nothing large enough to back it up on.— |-noodle-|
Proxies
A humble list of school-bypass web proxies from the dial-up-to-broadband era of internet freedom fighting
A short thread in the Computers General subforum where members shared their go-to web proxy sites, mostly for getting around school or work internet filters. Started by forum regular DCLXVI with a handful of links, followed by a couple of replies adding more. Pretty typical low-key tech-help thread of its time, the kind every gaming forum had tucked away in its General Computers corner.

CS/CS:S Photo-Scanned Tips Guide (Unhide Thread)
c0re shares an old photo-scanned CS/CS:S tips guide, and half the board just shows up to say 'unhide'
A 2009 guide thread in the Counter-Strike: Source Guides subforum where member c0re posted a hidden download link to a scanned/photographed guide covering assorted Counter-Strike and CS:S topics, apparently photographed from print material roughly a year earlier. The thread quickly turned into a long, low-effort chain of members posting 'unhide' or brief thanks just to reveal the hidden content, typical of the forum's hide-tag reply culture. No real discussion or debate developed — it's mostly a roll call of usernames grabbing the guide.
Took the pictures with my camera about a year ago, dunno if this has already been uploaded.— c0re
Would be good for me just gonna start playing again tommorow— Lukeyyy
