ap3x's Movie Making GUI mod for CS:S

ap3x drops a stripped-down GUI mod for CS:S machinima makers — but the hidemod's a little broken

A short skins/CS:S sub-board thread where longtime [FkN] Admin ap3x shares a custom GUI material pack meant for Counter-Strike: Source moviemaking, designed to strip away the normal HUD for cleaner footage. A file download was posted behind a hidden-content tag with a warning to back up original files before replacing them. Fellow member fkngames replies noting the hidemod component isn't functioning correctly but still shows interest in trying it out. A small, low-drama technical exchange typical of the Skins section.

GUI Materials for moviemaking, essentially eliminates the whole GUI.— ap3x

you do know that hidemod is not working right? but nice upload, I want to experiment with this— fkngames

How to get free 14 day trial codes

A one-post download link that racked up four pages of 'ty' — until someone said it got patched.

Started by Fopje in October 2012, this Console Gaming Tutorials thread offered a downloadable method (via a Dropbox-hosted RTF file) for generating free 14-day trial codes, likely for a console gaming service. The bulk of the thread is the classic low-effort forum reply pattern — dozens of members chiming in with 'ty', 'thanks', or 'yt' rather than discussion. By late October a member reported the method appeared to have been patched, and the thread continued sporadically into January 2013 with more thank-you posts and little substantive follow-up.

I think they patched this.— Synister

Good FC Zon Build? (D2 Amazon Gear Guide)

Old-school D2 vets trading full Frenzy Zon gear lists — Enigma, Shako, Stormshield and all — back on fkn0wned's Other Games board.

A member asks for a strong Fury/Charged Strike Amazon ('fc zon') build in the Diablo II: Lord of Destruction subforum. IxPKxALL responds with a very detailed high-end gear list (weapons, armor, jewelry, charms, stat allocation) and personal stats, sparking a short back-and-forth with -Still Life- about crafted glove alternatives. It's a low-key, gearhead thread typical of the Other Games corner of the forum, where CS regulars swapped tips on unrelated games between rounds of the main cheat-scene chatter.

I need a good fc zon build that'll rape anything. Post please. o.o— orangespwnz

try to craft some blood gloves with the following stats.... those are godly for fczon..— -Still Life-

Learning Visual Studio .NET - Videos

A GFX staffer shares a 100-clip .NET coding tutorial series in the forum's downloads-and-goodies corner

In mid-2007, GFX staff member pato posted a share of an English-language video course teaching Visual Studio .NET 2005 programming, aimed at newbie coders, in the site's 'Electronic & Audio books' subforum under Red Light District. The thread drew a handful of brief thank-you replies over several months (July through November 2007), typical of the low-key, resource-sharing threads that filled this section. Nothing dramatic happened here — just a small, appreciated contribution from the community's graphics crew to anyone trying to pick up coding skills.

I reall need this for a project thanks!— sammo

Thanks, hopefully the link still works.— cedars

Skinning Tutorial (Call of Duty 2)

Old-school COD2 weapon-skinning guide, gathering dust since 2007.

A member named fizzer posted a step-by-step guide for extracting and re-skinning Call of Duty 2 weapon textures using Pakscape and Photoshop Elements plugins, crediting some of the conversion tools to GER-Iceman. It's a small, low-drama tutorial thread typical of the Other Games subforum, with a couple of members chiming in to say thanks and share their own COD2/COD:UO habits. Nothing controversial happened here — just a quiet corner of the site's modding culture preserved in amber.

Cool thanks, didn't even know you could do that lol.— Peski-Ruski

On School we play cod and coduo a lot so i'm developing some skills— ferrywell

SQL Injection Scanner Tool Drop

A skiddie-tier SQLi scanner share that pulled twenty 'thx bro' replies and one blunt reality check.

In this Server & Computer Security thread from late September/October 2009, longtime member f0wh posted a download for an SQL injection scanner tool behind hidden content (unlock-by-reply). The thread quickly filled with the classic forum ritual of members posting 'thanks'/'unhide' just to unlock the download, spanning regulars, VIPs, and a couple of later-banned accounts. Amid the pile of low-effort thank-yous, a couple of more security-savvy members pushed back, calling the tool basic and skiddie-oriented rather than anything sophisticated.

Thanks, but so skiddie.— XpliciteR

thanks for the post but suffers from standard scanner issues— rawrsec

Understanding Steam IDs (2007)

Back when 'STEAM_0:1:2302910' was rocket science: a 2007 crash course in reading your own Steam ID.

A short, friendly Q&A thread from October 2007 where a member asks how to interpret the numbers in a Steam ID (like STEAM_0:1:2302910). Other regulars chime in explaining the digit count, the fixed 0/1 prefix, and how to pull your ID via console commands, with a bit of correction and back-and-forth about whether IDs change when buying games versus switching accounts. Low-drama, purely helpful vibe typical of the Steam Client subforum's early days.

Ok thx guys. I didnt know that I just have to count the numbers XD I thought its much more complicated.— Rock Superstar

Your steam id doesn't change when you buy games, it changes when you switch accounts— Legit_Hacks

AccessDiver Proxy Troubleshooting Thread

A guy switches routers, and suddenly thousands of proxies go 'fake' — the forum's proxy guru tries everything to fix him

Member synae posted a tech support thread after switching to a new Linksys router, finding that AccessDiver (a proxy management tool) suddenly couldn't validate any working proxies, with everything returning as fake or timed out. Regular misterfopje, a longtime News Master, stepped in with troubleshooting advice around proxy analyzers and judge configuration, even sharing a tutorial file, but despite testing thousands of fresh proxies across multiple sites, the pair never cracked the mystery. The thread trails off unresolved, with a one-post user chiming in months later to confirm they had the same unexplained issue.

its not a problem on ur side its obviously something to do with accessdiver.— gstringpanties

So yes it must be something with the things you changed, but no idea how you can fix that dude..— misterfopje

Xbox Hard Drive Rescue Attempt Fails

Dude fries his Xbox power supply, tries to salvage the hard drive for his PC, gets a lesson in why that's not how it works

Member thejah's Xbox power supply died and he was left with a locked hard drive he hoped to repurpose for his desktop PC. Regulars hitmanre, ap3x, and vermiLLion chime in to explain that without the original console (or a saved password/bin file) the drive is effectively stuck, and that Xbox drives aren't PC-laptop compatible anyway. A small, mundane tech-support exchange typical of the board's console modding crowd, ending with thejah still out of luck.

there is no password, theres a bin file you need to make it work with regular computers again, if it was a stock hdd theres nothing u can do— hitmanre

You can't use the xbox hard drive for a laptop.— vermiLLion

silentrock's Ubuntu/Vista dual-boot disaster

Tried to dual-boot Ubuntu next to Vista, ended up staring at a blinking GRUB error and a scary disk warning icon

A member named silentrock posted a panicked tech-support request after attempting to install Ubuntu 10.04 alongside Windows Vista in a dual-boot setup. The install seemed to go fine until reboot, when the machine threw a GRUB error instead of booting, leaving him running Ubuntu off a USB stick to investigate via GParted and Disk Utility. He posted several screenshot links (now dead) showing a warning icon on his hard drive and asked the Tech Support board for help, clearly worried about losing his files. It's a classic early-2010s 'I broke my dual-boot' cry for help, complete with apologies for not being able to embed images properly.

PLease help me with this fucking shit. Thank you guys.— silentrock

im kidna scared— silentrock

Vent Lagging While Gaming

New laptop, same games, but suddenly Vent turns every match into a lagfest — the fix? Task Manager, apparently.

A member named Opti15 posted a tech support request about Ventrilo (voice chat) causing severe in-game ping spikes on a new Windows 7 laptop, despite the old machine running fine. Fellow members traded quick troubleshooting theories — connection quality, wireless vs. wired, and process priority settings — in a short, casual back-and-forth typical of the Tech Support subforum. The thread wraps up amicably with Opti15 reporting the issue likely resolved thanks to a suggestion from admin ap3x.

I just wnt to task manager and adjusted the task priority to realtime— ap3x

I use to have this problem when i used wireless. The second i hooked up to a cable it stopped :)— PopTart

VMware Workstation 7 + BackTrack 4 Final help thread

New guy tries wifi cracking with BackTrack 4, gets stuck, gets roasted for typing like a caveman

A member named 357 posted asking for help getting a wireless adapter working inside a BackTrack 4 Final virtual machine running on VMware Workstation 7, mentioning he was stuck on driver/compiling steps after following YouTube tutorials. Xanatos chimed in asking about wifi card compatibility, and 2000-Club veteran lam3r showed up purely to demand punctuation. A short, low-stakes Tech Support thread typical of the era's casual wifi-hacking curiosity rather than any real drama.

well im new at this wep cracking— 357

USE FUCKING PUNCTUATION GOD DAMN— lam3r

AdBrite Clone Script Share

Someone dropped a full ad-network clone script in the Red Light District, because apparently every board admin wanted to be their own AdBrite in 2007.

In the Scripts & Templates corner of the Red Light District, user pyeman posted a rundown of a PHP/MySQL script that cloned AdBrite-style ad network functionality, complete with admin panel, publisher/advertiser features, and built-in payment gateways like PayPal and 2Checkout. It got a couple of low-effort replies, including one from a since-banned member plugging an unrelated group, before quietly dying out with a two-word thanks from a new member. A pretty typical, low-drama script-sharing thread from the site's webmaster/scripting side.

Full Admin Control Panel - Have total control over your websites users.— pyeman

Myspace Gold v8.0.x Nulled

AcidViper drops a cracked social-network-builder script and the thanks train rolls on for months

A late-2007 post in the Red Light District's Scripts & Templates subforum where member AcidViper shares a nulled copy of 'PHPMySpace Gold,' a PHP/MySQL script for building Myspace/Friendster/Hi5-style social networking sites. The thread is mostly a long string of short 'thanks' replies from other members over the following months, typical of the era's warez-sharing threads. No real drama, just a snapshot of the site's software-sharing culture.

It does not matter what type of social networking site you are trying to create, you can build it very easily using PHPMySpace Gold.— AcidViper

Thank you retarded_elephan...— Nikogromf

VB WoW Style

A World of Warcraft-themed vBulletin skin drops in the Scripts & Templates pit, image missing but the thanks roll in anyway

A short, low-key thread in Fkn0wned's Red Light District subforum where user asshoel50 shared a WoW-themed vBulletin style/template, apologizing for not including a preview image. A handful of members, including some 1000 Club veterans, dropped quick thanks over the following weeks, with one newer member asking what VB even was. Nothing dramatic here, just a small slice of the site's template-sharing culture and its long-tail replies stretching from late 2007 into whenever 'Yesterday' actually was.

sorry dident get pix— asshoel50

oooh VB? whats dis— daxsmoke

All 30 Intel Locations (CoD4)

A five-page guide thread that slowly turned into a page of people just saying 'unhide' and 'ty'

This was a guide thread in the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare subforum pointing members to all 30 hidden 'intel' collectible locations, originally posted by user PaRaNoID with a video walkthrough behind a hidden/spoiler tag. By page 5, the thread had devolved into its natural forum-era rhythm: dozens of low-post-count members replying with little more than 'unhide', 'ty', or 'thks' just to reveal the hidden content, with the occasional aside about how tedious the later intel pieces were to find. It's a classic snapshot of how guide threads on cheat/gaming forums functioned as much as a ritual for unlocking hidden posts as an actual resource.

lol i didnt bother with these after like the 19th its so boring to look for them— revolt

thank you... i only had 5 of them— soleicey

[Script]Reduce Lag 2 by SNK

A hidden lag-reduction config script for CS:S, gated behind the classic 'reply to see it' wall.

A short, no-frills post in the Counter-Strike: Source Scripts/Tools subforum where longtime staffer SNK dropped a config/script named 'Reduce Lag 2' behind hidden content, requiring a reply to unlock. The replies are typical low-effort bumps and thanks from members chasing the download, plus one 'lol' quoting the OP. Nothing dramatic here — just a routine utility-sharing thread typical of the CS:S scripts scene at fkn0wned.

let me see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!— omfg2007

lol— Paiin

[MATERIALS] Flashing Dropped C4 (Shifty, Fkn0wned CS:S board)

A visual-only C4 material tweak that made the bomb impossible to miss — and impossible to forget for the regulars who piled on to say thanks.

This is a materials-release thread on the Counter-Strike: Source sub-board of Fkn0wned, posted by longtime member Shifty in mid-2007, sharing a cosmetic model/material tweak (credited to -=SaWkYMoD=- aka m-tek) that made a dropped C4 bomb flash so it stood out visually, with an optional 'glow' variant covering other grenade types. The thread is mostly a long tail of one-word 'thanks/unhide/nice' replies from members over several months (June–October 2007), typical of the forum's download-unlock reply culture. No real drama here — it's a quiet, functional release thread that racked up steady engagement, a nice little time capsule of the CS:S modding/cheat-adjacent scene at Fkn0wned.

well now it flashes and cant be missed!!!!— Shifty

this will be handy thanks— Sammo

Flashing Effect Tutorial in Sony Vegas (hidden content unhide thread)

A hidden Sony Vegas tutorial that racked up two pages of 'unhide' replies, gaming forum style.

ZoaQ, a veteran 'Retired and Respected' member, posted a video editing tutorial on creating a flashing effect in Sony Vegas, locked behind the classic forum-hider so users had to reply to unlock it. The thread devolved into the typical wave of low-effort 'unhide'/'thx' replies from a couple dozen members just farming access to the content, with one poster shouting out fellow tutorial-maker Tsunam!s along the way. It's a snapshot of the Art & Design > Video Production section's everyday tutorial-sharing culture rather than any major drama.

Tsunam!s tutorials are teh sex— drplobble

Unhide, Thanks.— Tr3Nx

Request: Software Like Brutus

One member wanted a Brutus-style bruteforcer — the resident crew talked him out of it on the spot.

A short, quiet request thread in the Computer Security and Hacking > Discussion section where member NiEDEZ asked for a password-cracking tool similar to the old Brutus bruteforcer. A [FkN] Crew member, Lipscomb, replied with a dose of practical skepticism, noting bruteforcers are generally slow and ineffective and suggesting keylogging or session hijacking as better routes. The thread ends there — just two posts, no further discussion, a small snapshot of the kind of casual tool-requests that filled this section of the board.

For the most part, Bruteforcers dont work very well, and if they do work, take a very long time to do so.— [FkN] Lipscomb

Someone can Send me a software likes Brutus— NiEDEZ

Make Money Using Triond

A VIP's hidden guide to cashing in on Triond, back when 'monetizing' meant something else entirely

A short-lived thread in Fkn0wned's Monetizing subsection where VIP member RandyCandy posted a reply-locked guide about earning money through Triond, a content-revenue site popular in the early 2010s. As typical for the forum, the actual content was hidden behind a 'reply to see' wall, and the only visible activity is two members dropping quick thank-yous. A tiny, unremarkable but very of-its-era snapshot of forum monetization culture.

thanks— bahanegag

C++/Batch Virus Code to Disable All Hard Disks

A one-post 'virus' tutorial gets instantly clowned in the reply below it

A member named Charlie FkN Provider posted a Hacking Tutorials thread sharing a batch-to-C++ converted script claimed to disable hard drives, framed as an easy prank/tool to send to a 'victim' in exchange for reputation points. The content itself was locked behind a reply-to-unlock wall, typical of the forum's tutorial sections. The lone reply from a brand-new member bluntly pointed out the code would be trivially detected, undercutting the whole post. A small, quiet corner of the site's cheat/hacking tutorials board, capturing the era's casual script-kiddie culture.

dont forget to Rep+ :)— Charlie FkN Provider

though it can be dtected easily— Mryihan

57 Games [Pokemon included] + Visual Boy Advance Emulator

A modest GBA ROM pack drop that quietly became one of those 'thanks a bunch' threads everyone remembers fondly.

A member named kasper5150 posted a Visual Boy Advance emulator along with links to 57 Game Boy Advance games and a full set of Pokemon ROMs, split across easy-share file hosts. The thread got a handful of appreciative replies, a request for hacked Pokemon ROM variants which kasper5150 agreed to follow up on, and a stray question about how to actually play the Pokemon files. Nothing dramatic — just a small, friendly exchange typical of the Emulators and ROMs subforum under Console Gaming.

sure ive got a bunch. gimme like an hour or so.— kasper5150

any chacne you could upload a collection of hacked pokemon roms etc like pokemon orange and whatnot— marz

How to Get More FPS in Battlefield 3

A BF3 FPS-boost tutorial that mostly turned into a two-year parade of 'ty' replies

A Gaming Tutorials thread offering tips to improve frame rates in Battlefield 3, archived here from later pages (posts #11-#20) spanning April-May 2013. The actual tips are barely visible in this excerpt beyond one member's generic 'get a better graphic card, increase your RAM' advice; the rest is a long string of members dropping by just to say thanks. It's a good snapshot of low-effort bump culture on fkn0wned, with a mix of ranks (New Member, VIP, 1K Club, even a Banned user) all chiming in on an old hardware-tweak guide.</br>

Need Help With Sams Teach Yourself Tut.

Someone tried to learn C++ from a book and got wrecked by MFC42D.DLL instead.

A member named exon posted in the Programming subforum asking for help after following the classic 'Sams Teach Yourself C++' tutorial, only to hit a cascade of missing/ordinal DLL errors trying to compile and run 'Hello.exe'. It's a small, mundane tech-support thread typical of the Technology board, with one reply from zmuck pointing toward a Microsoft Foundation Library project setting. A quiet little snapshot of a teenager's first steps into programming on a gaming forum in 2007.

Problem- When I do the step where I go "8. Select Build | Build Hello.exe to compile your application." It works, but when "Sam" tells me to run it, I get several dll errors.— exon

Anti-Hotlinking for n00bs

A staff member drops a bite-size HTML snippet to stop leechers from stealing your bandwidth.

In the Programming subforum, forum smod ap3x posted a quick, simplified HTML tutorial for turning a hotlinked image or file into a fake 'button' so casual hotlinkers couldn't rip content directly, inspired by the anti-hotlinking approach GarrysMod.org used at the time. It's a short, purely educational post-and-code-block thread typical of the Tech & Security section, with no real discussion attached — just a staff member sharing a beginner-friendly trick.

Makes a link into a button so stupid n00bs can't hotlink your stuff.— ap3x

VB Learning Pack 1 Video Tutorial (by ph76171)

Forty lessons deep into Visual Basic, courtesy of a 2009 Rapidshare link and a 'Noob' with 26 posts.

A member named ph76171 shared a 40-part video tutorial series covering Visual Basic fundamentals, from 'Hello World' through arrays, loops, databases, and client-server chat programs. Hosted on Rapidshare and Uploading.com mirrors typical of the era, it's a straightforward resource-share post rather than a discussion thread. Just one post, no replies, no drama — a quiet little corner of the Programming subforum where someone tried to pay it forward with a beginner's coding course.

HAve Fun :D— ph76171

nah's SOF2 Wallhack PunkBuster Troubleshooting

A noob coder's homemade Soldier of Fortune 2 wallhack keeps getting PunkBuster-kicked, and the fix attempt goes sideways in the code itself.

A member named 'nah' posted asking for help getting a self-made OpenGL wallhack for Soldier of Fortune 2 working without triggering PunkBuster kicks. The post dumps a chunk of half-broken hook/detour code and asks for pointers on using the Detours library, offering up an MSN contact for direct help. It's a classic mid-2000s cheat-scene tech-support thread: earnest, technically shaky, and dropped in the Programming subforum under Tech & Security.

Creating A Custom C# Button: Video Tutorial

One lonely tutorial post teaching fkn0wned's coders how to skin their own C# buttons.

A quick tutorial thread from September 2009 by member papanyquiL, offering a video walkthrough on building a custom C# button control step-by-step. It's a small, single-post entry in the Programming subforum under Tech & Security, typical of the low-key skill-sharing content that sat alongside the forum's more infamous cheat/warez sections. No replies followed, just the original download link and post.

In this video I will take you through creating a simple custom button step-by-step in C#.— papanyquiL

360 Spin Script? (CS:S Scripts/Tools)

One guy just wanted his character to do a cool spin trick — a fossil of the console/bind script era.

A member named awshit asks in the Counter-Strike: Source Scripts/Tools subforum whether a script exists to make the player spin 360 degrees and stop, after not finding one on FPSBanana. Two members reply with quick bind/console-variable suggestions over the following weeks. It's a short, low-drama, purely technical thread typical of the era's script-sharing culture around CS:S.

I'm basically looking for a script that does a 360 spin and then stops spinning around.— awshit

NetTools Release Thread

A network utility release thread limping to its third page and a whole lot of nothing in the final replies.

This was a software-sharing thread in the Red Light District > Software section of Fkn0wned.Com, where a member posted a version of a tool called NetTools (v4.5.74) for others to grab. By the time this archived page loads, the thread has stretched to three pages, but the tail end only shows two brief, low-content replies acknowledging the post. It's a small, unremarkable snapshot of the forum's software-sharing culture rather than a dramatic moment.

ya— Goodapollo

How to install hacks [VIDEO]

A meister gets tired of PMs and drops a video tutorial instead

A support thread in the Counter-Strike: Source section where a member known as Dragon13 posted a YouTube video meant to explain hack installation, explicitly to stop people from messaging him individually with questions. The post notes the current hacks were already non-functional at the time but frames the video as a general reference for when new ones dropped. Classic mid-2000s cheat-scene support thread, functional and low-drama, aimed at cutting down repetitive support requests.

stop pming and beside hacks dont work now but when new ones come out this is how u get them to work— Dragon13

[E-Book] Pro Perl Debugging (rapidshare share)

A staffer drops a Perl debugging e-book — and a cheeky fake 'thanks' download to troll gratitude-seekers

A brief tutorials-board post from Fkn0wned.Com staffer Sonikk sharing a scanned copy of the Apress book 'Pro Perl Debugging' via Rapidshare, common practice on early forums like this one for e-book and resource sharing. The post includes the usual synopsis blurb about Perl's usefulness and a joke 'thanks.txt' download link, a running bit where posters bait people who reply 'thanks' without actually engaging. It's a small, ordinary piece of the site's Red Light District > Tutorials section, useful mainly as a snapshot of the community's file-sharing culture and humor.

Feel like saying thanks for the download? Then download this file to support me:— Sonikk

How to Hack PayPal! (Tutorial Thread)

A bold tutorial-forum promise that PayPal-payable stuff could be 'hacked' — classic Red Light District bravado.

A short post in the Tutorials subforum of the Red Light District section, claiming to offer a method for obtaining PayPal-payable products without paying. Posted by forum regular DCLXVI, a high-post-count member who was banned at some point. Typical of the sketchy, edgy tutorial threads that populated this corner of the site, mixing bravado with dubious claims rather than substantive content.

How to hack paypal-payable products! Thanks!— DCLXVI

Kelton's RuneScape Skill Guide Pack

One rar file, nine skills, and a mandatory 'say thanks' — classic 2009 forum currency.

A short late-2009-era Tutorials post by longtime member kelton (already a '1K Wonder' with 1,295 posts by this point) sharing a compiled archive of RuneScape skill guides covering things like Agility, Fletching, Slayer, and the then-new Summoning skill. It's a typical low-frills resource-sharing post from the site's MMORPG/tutorial culture, hosted on Rapidshare with a password gate, and the customary request that readers post thanks in return. Nothing dramatic here, just a small artifact of the forum's guide-sharing economy from its General/Tutorials section.

Please enjoy and remember to say thanks every one!— kelton

How to Burn an ISO Image Using Nero Burning ROM

A relic from when 'burn this to a CD' was still everyday advice.

A short, plain-language tutorial posted by longtime member kelton in the Tutorials board, walking through the basic steps of burning an ISO image to a blank CD using Nero Burning ROM. It's a classic snapshot of late-2000s internet culture, back when disc burning software tutorials were staple content on gaming/tech forums. The post is bare-bones and utilitarian, with screenshots hosted on old image sites like TinyPic and Imageshack, typical of the era.

After few minutes your cd is ready to use Enjoy !— kelton

Trillian Pro v3.1.7 & Crack

A member named TaZ^ drops a cracked copy of the classic multi-network chat client Trillian Pro in the Red Light District.

A single-post release thread in Fkn0wned.com's 'Software' subforum under the Red Light District section, where a member called TaZ^ shared a cracked version of Trillian Pro v3.1.7, a once-popular all-in-one chat client that unified AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, and IRC. The post includes promotional screenshots and a rundown of the app's features and what was new in that version, followed by simple install instructions and a download link. It's a classic snapshot of the era's warez-sharing culture, where members traded cracked software openly as part of the forum's everyday content.

Trillian is a fully featured, stand-alone, skinnable chat client that supports AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, and IRC.— TaZ^

Ardamax Keylogger 2.8 Repost Drama

A staff-posted keylogger release in the Red Light District — and someone immediately complains it's a repost.

A staff member named PaRaNoID posted a release thread for Ardamax Keylogger 2.8 with a serial, in the site's 'Red Light District > Software' subforum where cracked tools and grey-area software got shared. The post is a standard feature rundown of the keylogger (invisible mode, email/FTP log delivery, chat monitoring, etc.) lifted from the program's marketing copy. First reply calls out that the tool had already been posted before, and a banned member also chimed in on the thread, giving a small glimpse of the forum's loose moderation and repost culture circa 2007.

well acctualy i have posted this... but... what ever— TheLithuaniansLeader

Simple Duel Say Script for CS 1.6

One member's quick 'good taunt / bad taunt' bind for CS 1.6 duels

A member going by 4Saken posted a small autoexec.cfg say-script for Counter-Strike 1.6, letting a player bind one key to fire off a friendly message and another to fire off a taunt during duels. It's a modest, single-post contribution typical of the Scripting subforum — utility content rather than drama, showing the kind of small quality-of-life tools members traded around. No replies are preserved, just the original post sitting in the archive.

This is a simple say scrip that i decided to make— 4Saken

How to Put Movies On Your PSP

A 2007 rite of passage: unhide-by-posting your way to PSP movies.

A short tutorial thread posted in the Random Tuts subforum of Fkn0wned.Com, explaining how to get movies ripped or downloaded onto a PSP. Classic mid-2000s forum mechanics apply — the content was hidden behind an 'unhide by posting' wall, a common tactic to farm post counts and engagement. Posted by member Rebelz, a 'Trained Noob' rank user, it's a small snapshot of the era's DIY tech-tinkering culture that filled out forums like this one alongside gaming cheats and trading boards.

This tutorial will teach you how to RIP or DOWNLOAD movies onto your PSP system. Enjoy... unhide by posting.— Rebelz

Proxy List for Warez Downloading

A guy named 'Afteryou' drops a proxy list and someone immediately asks if it's good for pirating warez

A short, low-key thread in the Computers General subforum where a member (posting under the handle Afteryou) shared a list of proxies. Replies were sparse and casual, with one member noting they could be used to download warez, and another popping in with a generic response. Nothing dramatic — just a typical early-2000s tech-help/resource post of the kind that filled out the Technology section.

Nice one, can use these to download a shit load of warez— havok123

Door Teleporter Glitch - Team Fortress 2

Gametration's Engineers found a way to lock enemies inside their own spawn door.

A 2007 post on Gametration.com's Team Fortress 2 subforum lays out a spawn-door teleporter exploit for the Engineer class, walking through placing entrance and exit teleporters to trap players inside spawn on certain maps. The original post was tucked behind a spoiler/hide tag, typical of the site's cheat-database culture. Only a couple of replies followed, mostly acknowledgment rather than discussion, with regular posters chiming in from their usual banned-member ranks.

Nobody can get out of the door. This doesn't work on all spawns.— NoNamE!

Unlocking Cores on the Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition

Building a Christmas PC and hoping the BIOS gods bless you with two free CPU cores

A Tech Support thread from November 2009 where member esahc26 planned a new Christmas build around AMD's Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition, hoping to 'unlock' its two disabled cores by picking the right motherboard chipset and BIOS features. The post lists a full parts build and a shortlist of AM3 motherboards with AMD SB710/750 southbridges believed to support the unlock trick via ACC (Advanced Clock Calibration). One other member chimed in agreeing that AMD750-chipset boards had better odds of success. A short, practical, very of-its-era PC-building thread, later locked.

motherboards with the southbridge amd750 have more of a successful rate of unlocking the 2 cores.— i dont hack

100+ Dreamweaver Templates thread

A pile of pirated web templates in the Red Light District, three pages of 'thanks' and one guy shilling Notepad

A long-running download thread in the Scripts & Templates subforum of Fkn0wned's 'Red Light District' section, offering a bundle of over 100 Dreamweaver website templates. The thread stretches across multiple pages and is mostly members dropping quick thank-you replies and 'unhide' comments to unlock the hidden download link, a common pattern on this forum for reward-gated content. It's a low-drama, purely functional thread typical of the site's warez/resource-sharing culture rather than anything eventful.

lol dreamweaver, NOTEPADV2 ftw. helpful though for people that are starting out.— Anexxion

CS:S Colored Models Script (Team-Color Render Hack)

A brand-new member drops a snippet of code to paint your CS:S enemies red and blue — and promises glow shells are next.

In the Counter-Strike: Source Scripts/Tools subforum, a fresh member named Nullr0u73 posted a small code snippet demonstrating a 'coloredmodels' effect that recolored player models by team (red vs blue) using render mode/color calls. It's a lightweight, single-post dev-share rather than a big discussion — the poster frames it as a first step, noting colored models were 'not too special' and that glow shell effects would be the harder follow-up. No replies followed, making it a small snapshot of the era's DIY game-hacking/tool-scripting culture.

OK, So just colored models, not too special. I'll get to work on Glow Shells, but they are a pain in the arse imo.— Nullr0u73

How to Get Free XBL Avatar Items

A tutorial thread on scoring free Xbox Live avatar swag, buried in Fkn0wned's console gaming corner.

A short tutorial-style thread in the Console Gaming Tutorials area explaining how to obtain free Xbox Live avatar items, typical of the exploit/freebie-sharing threads that filled this section of the forum. The surrounding page is mostly site chrome and navigation, with a VIP shop plug from user dazza821 tacked on. Nothing dramatic here, just a small slice of the everyday hustle-and-tips culture of the site.

YO BRO, CHECK OUT THE SHOP OF DAZZA TO SUPPORT FOR VIP— dazza821

FRAPS 2.9.1 Vista/DX10 Release

A moderator drops the latest FRAPS build for the Vista/DX10 crowd — classic Red Light District software fodder.

A short software-sharing thread in the Software subforum of the Red Light District section, posted by longtime staff member Shifty. The post announces a RapidShare-hosted copy of FRAPS 2.9.1 with Vista and DirectX 10 support, typical of the era's screen-recording tool releases for gamers wanting to capture CS:S and other footage. The thread ran at least two pages, suggesting some member engagement and replies.

ISO Tools Dump: MagicISO, IsoBuster, WinISO, PowerISO

A no-frills software dump thread from the Red Light District's Software subforum, straight from the disc-burning era.

A post by longtime member and Co-Manager DCLXVI listing a handful of ISO creation and extraction utilities (MagicISO, IsoBuster, WinISO, PowerISO). Typical of the Software section of the Red Light District board, where members shared program links for burning, ripping, and managing disc images. Nothing dramatic here, just a utility-sharing post reflecting the toolset gamers relied on before digital distribution took over.

Adramax Keylogger + Tutorial

A keylogger drop buried in Gametration's shadiest corner: the Red Light District.

A software-sharing thread posted in Gametration.com's 'Red Light District' subforum, offering the Adramax keylogger along with a tutorial. This section of the forum was where members traded in gray/black-market tools rather than game cheats proper, reflecting the site's dual identity as a Counter-Strike/Battlefield cheat hub and a general early-2010s scene board dabbling in shadier software. No discussion or reactions from the thread survive in this archived capture, just the bare posting.

IM Spammer Toolbox Thread

A dusty toolbox thread from the era when spamming your buddy list was a hobby.

A Software subforum thread within Gametration.com's 'Red Light District' section, apparently rounding up IM-spamming tools for MSN, Yahoo, AIM and other messengers popular in the early-2010s. Consistent with the wider forum's cheat-and-tool-sharing culture, this page sat in a fringe corner of the site alongside porn and 'raging' content, reflecting the looser moderation typical of the RLD area. No actual thread post content survived in this archive capture, just the site navigation shell.
