How to SPAM a CS:S Server by Joining
A guy just wants to annoy a server admin faster, and the whole thread turns into a console-script arms race
leeth4x kicks off a request for a way to rapid-join/leave a Counter-Strike: Source server so the join message spams the console and irritates admins. Several members (xxChrisxx, OutkastCS, DaJayJay) respond with variations of wait-alias and retry/connect scripts, while others like Pigmeat and timem604 report the simpler connect/disconnect loops just don't work. It's a small, low-drama utility thread typical of the Scripts/Tools section — casual troll-tooling passed around for laughs rather than any big scene event.
Is there a script to do this? because I've seen other people do it to a server very quick and it gets the admin mad :D— leeth4x
Join the server, get banned. Change your name keep trying to rejoin.— CSSChool
I should be moving the idea along now?— OutkastCS
[Script] AWP Fast Autoswitch by SNK
SNK drops an AWP autoswitch config and half the CSS scripting crowd shows up just to say 'tnx'
A Counter-Strike: Source scripting thread from October-December 2009 where forum smod SNK shared a config-based AWP autoswitch script for players' autoexec.cfg files, with usage notes and a hidden-content download gated behind replying. The thread devolved into the classic forum pattern of one-word 'thanks'/'ty'/'unhide' replies from low-post members, with a brief aside about whether using the script could get someone banned. It's a small but representative snapshot of the site's Scripts/Tools culture around CS:S at the time.
Thanks babe.— PaynE
can get banned for this?— Jord
No! And tyvm— loktar
IP Anonymous AIO
A 2007 mega-pack of proxy and IP-hiding tools drops, and half the board just says 'thx' and bumps for more.
In April 2007, member prinz posted an 'all-in-one' bundle of IP anonymity and proxy-switching utilities in the Red Light District > Software section. The thread ran three pages mostly as a long chain of short 'thanks/nice/ty' replies from a wide cross-section of the community, with a brief detour where members debated what 'AIO' even stood for. Nothing eventful happened beyond typical download-thread bumping, but it captures the era's casual software-sharing culture and the site's laid-back moderation of grey-area tools.
why does everything u put come in an AIO or w/e..— Jack Bauer
AIO=All in 1 lol— !nv!s!on
Nice, show me— rnie
Visual Studio 2005 Professional upload thread
A pirated dev suite drops in the Software subforum, and ten months of 'thx!!' posts roll in
In the Red Light District > Software section, user Afteryou posted a full DVD/MSDN copy of Visual Studio 2005 Professional for download, with a quick feature rundown lifted from official marketing copy and simple install notes claiming no serial was needed. The thread itself is mostly low-effort gratitude replies spread out over almost a year (January to November 2007), typical of a warez-sharing board where the real content was the download link, not the discussion. A minor side-exchange shows members asking to have hidden/spoilered content revealed ('Unhide', 'UNHIDE THIS BITCH'), a common quirk of these boards where links were tucked behind reply-gated tags.
UNHIDE THIS BITCH— Ex777
Man, i just needed this! COOL!— Ezku
*No serial key needed, its built into the installer.— Afteryou
Norton 10-Year Keygen Thread
A 2007 forum classic: crack every Norton product and get a decade of "protection" for free.
A late-2007 post in the Red Light District > Software subforum offering a supposedly full working copy of Norton Internet Security/AntiVirus 2007 with a 10-year subscription, plus keygens for other Norton products. The bulk of the post is copy-pasted Symantec marketing copy describing Norton's features, followed by hidden download/keygen links. Replies are mostly one-word thank-yous and 'unhide' bumps typical of warez threads, with one member asking for a virus scan before trusting the download — a common (and reasonable) worry in threads like this.
AV for idiots!
Edit: please post a virus scan.— __yess__
wow n1— .:BaTmAn:.
Hypercam2 + crack
A 2008 screen-recorder-and-crack giveaway thread that mostly turned into two years of drive-by 'thanks' posts
Started by Famousss in February 2008 in the Red Light District > Software subforum, this thread shared a cracked copy of HyperCam2 (a screen recording tool, pitched here as 'like fraps but better'). The bulk of the thread is a long, low-effort chain of members replying with thanks, keyboard mashes, or 'unhide' requests over the following weeks and months, a classic pattern for these download threads. It's a small, unremarkable but very representative artifact of the forum's software-sharing culture rather than a dramatic or notable event.
like fraps but better— Famousss
i r teh needz!— CodenameHawk
As soon as I insert, its stretched for life.— CodenameHawk
Win-Spy Pro v9.0.175 Retail-ZWT Release Thread
A staff member drops a cracked commercial keylogger/spyware suite, and the replies are just one long chorus of 'holy shit' and 'unhide'
Staff member HaSh posted a release-style thread for Win-Spy Pro, a commercial remote monitoring/keylogger tool, complete with the vendor's own marketing copy and feature list. The thread sat in the Red Light District's Software subforum, which hosted this kind of warez/cracked-software posting. Replies are mostly low-effort one-liners and thanks ('holy shit', 'unhide', 'ty', 'cheers') typical of a download-request thread, stretching out over months from August to December 2007 as new members kept bumping it for links.
Holy shit— TheLithuaniansLeader
unhide— b0xr
open sesame— karthik
Make Windows XP Genuine (Software Share)
A simple Windows XP activation share that kept members bumping and thanking for a full year
A quick software-sharing thread in the Red Light District's Software section where member DannZy posted a hidden-content download to make Windows XP show as 'genuine.' The thread ran from September 2010 into mid-2011 as a steady trickle of members replied just to unlock the hidden content, dropped thanks, and gave rep. Low drama, purely utilitarian — the kind of everyday file-share thread that quietly kept a forum's economy of replies-for-content ticking along, with one user even asking if a Windows 7 version existed.
I've been looking for this for 20 damn minutes. THANK YOU.— chocotaco
bump for shoutbox ;)— [1K] DannZy
maybe for windows 7?— EuphoricMurder
ZoneAlarm Security Suite + Keygen
Staff-posted ZoneAlarm firewall/AV suite with a keygen, and a trail of 'ty' replies stretching from November to Christmas 2007
A staff member named mr.N0Nam3 posted a download and keygen for ZoneAlarm Security Suite in the Software subforum of the Red Light District section, complete with a changelog copied from the official release notes. The thread drew a steady trickle of short thank-you and reaction posts from regular members over the following weeks, right through the 2007 holiday season, with a couple of users asking if the download still worked by December.
fux yea tnx duwd— Tundergun
does it work still if so ty— Cud
w0t i needed thiz ty— Ezku
Ardamax Keylogger v2.8 Release Thread
A user jokes about installing the keylogger on someone else's PC — and immediately gets called out for lying
A classic Fkn0wned 'Red Light District > Software' release thread from late 2007, where user pyeman shared a copy of Ardamax Keylogger v2.8, presumably hosted on Rapidshare. The thread is mostly low-effort replies ('thnx', 'looks aight', 'unhide') from members grabbing the download, with a brief bit of drama when InzaneHacker jokingly claimed to have already installed it on someone's computer, only for pyeman to point out the download-count stats proved that was a lie. Otherwise it's a snapshot of the era's software-sharing culture — quick, casual, low-stakes forum activity typical of the board's darker corners.
wow, *Installed on anothers comp* haha^^ gonna check his logfiles later=]— InzaneHacker
stop spamming no u didnt install it on somebody elses pc because no one has dled this file yet. rapidshare gives stats on how many people dl the file— pyeman
Dude, omg... I didnt install it right then o.O I just said it because I was gonna do it O_O lolz— InzaneHacker
Bluetooth Phone Hacking Tool Share (2000s Mobile-Hacking Fad)
That ancient thread about a phone-hacking app claiming it could ring, restart, and even call from someone else's Bluetooth-paired mobile
A software-sharing thread in the Red Light District's Software subforum where uploader LoRd Ragealot posted an old Bluetooth exploitation tool claiming it could mess with a paired phone's contacts, ringtones, and calls. It's a snapshot of the mid-2000s mobile-hacking fad, when Bluetooth 'phone hacks' aimed at Sony Ericsson, Motorola, and Nokia handsets circulated widely on forums like this. The thread is short and low-drama: a fresh member asks for the archive password, another shows up just to say thanks with a grinning emoticon.
And here comes the best Call from his phone" it includes all call functions like hold etc.— LoRd Ragealot
The only mobile to which it couldnt do anything was a nokia n95— LoRd Ragealot
thnx— Ken
WoW Guides Megathread (HaSh) — bump-thread filler
A megathread of WoW guides that turned into a 50+ reply parade of 'ty' and 'unhide'
This was a compilation tutorial thread in the Red Light District's Tutorials subforum, gathering World of Warcraft guides into one place (originally posted by a user called HaSh, per replies referencing them). By the time this third page rolls around, the actual content is long buried under dozens of low-effort bump replies from members thanking the poster, asking to 'unhide' the hidden content, or just posting one-word reactions. It's a classic example of an old-forum resource thread kept alive purely by drive-by gratitude posts rather than discussion.
Sweet post HaSh, should help some of the newer players.— Nerve
tysm been lookin everywhere for this— Superzxoz
i love wow— JimJim4
Building Forums with vBulletin
A 2007 how-to-run-your-own-forum guide, tucked away in fkn0wned's Red Light District tutorials.
A 2007 tutorial thread in the Red Light District's Tutorials sub-board, posted by longtime '1K' member anarchie65, sharing a guide/download about setting up and customizing a forum using vBulletin's Admin Control Panel (users, skins, templates, maintenance, etc.). The replies are brief and low-effort — a handful of members dropping quick thanks with no real discussion. It's a small, unremarkable utility thread typical of the site's tutorial dumping ground rather than a dramatic or notable one.
This will grow your understanding and familiarise you with the power and possibilities of vBulletin.— anarchie65
Roger that ground control.— SpaceOddity09
cool! thks— Games
FREE GIFT CARD GLITCH (kacash.com)
slumba claims he cashed out a $100 Amazon card by gaming a survey site's SMS confirmation — chaos ensues in the replies.
A Tutorials-section post by slumba described exploiting a rewards/survey site (kacash.com) to earn gift card points without actually completing the paid SMS confirmation step, framing it as an opportunity to 'mess with the site' en masse. He claimed a successful $100 Amazon gift card cashout. Replies were skeptical and confused rather than triumphant: Dresden asked for proof, and schehf reported the trick didn't clearly work for him, describing sketchy ringtone-scam popups and uncertainty about whether points still registered. A pretty typical small-time 'free stuff' tutorial thread from the site's Tutorials board, sitting alongside the era's open give-away threads for Steam accounts and rapidshare loot.
let's mess with the site and see if we can make them bankrupt by the end of the day.— slumba
Proof of concept? :)— Dresden
i get the fucking 10$/week scam on my cellphone, so i just send stop asap but the survey is still complete so i still get the points?— schehf
How to Make an Email w/ @steampowered.com
A 2008 tutorial thread promising fake @steampowered.com emails 'useful for scamming' — mostly just people begging to unhide it
Posted in the Tutorials section by lragnarok11 in February 2008, this thread offered a hidden guide for spoofing or faking a @steampowered.com email address, explicitly flagged by the OP as useful for scamming. As with most 'hidden content' tutorials on the forum, the actual replies are almost entirely low-effort bumps from members demanding to see the hidden text, plus a stray rep-farming request from the OP. It's a small, typical snapshot of the site's tutorial culture: bait title, locked content, forced replies, repeat cycle.
You'll be able to see the hidden content once you reply to this topic.— lragnarok11
You forgot to [hide_me]...— Stev0
unhide +rep— Christopher
89% working WoW account scam
A guide promising a near-guaranteed way to scam World of Warcraft accounts — locked behind the classic 'reply to unlock' wall.
Posted by Metal425 in the Tutorials section in July 2008, this thread offered a hidden guide claiming an '89% success rate' for scamming World of Warcraft accounts, viewable only after replying — a common engagement trick on the forum. Most of the visible thread is just members posting 'unhide,' 'ty,' or one-word bumps to unlock the content, with Metal425 claiming he'd already scored a geared druid account using the method and teasing a follow-up guide. It's a pretty unremarkable but representative slice of the forum's Tutorials board, showing the account-scamming/warez culture and low-effort reply-farming that were everyday fixtures there.
It depends, I already got a T6 Druids doing it. It depends on the ignorance of your target.— Metal425
I guess this should work if it's an 89% chance.— Monkeygeek
do it faggotr— fatbasterd
How to Steal Steam Accounts (Combined and A New Idea)
A one-post-wonder drops a hidden 'Steam stealing' tutorial, and the regulars immediately smell a reposted rehash.
A low-post member named bunbuidoi posted a hidden tutorial claiming to combine existing methods with a 'new idea' for compromising Steam accounts, in the Tutorials board. The thread quickly turned into a mix of members demanding to 'unhide' the content and skeptics — including a self-described 'Steam Account Seller' — accusing the poster of just reposting material that had already circulated. It's a small, low-effort thread typical of the forum's tutorial section: heavy on hype, light on originality, and mostly remembered for the bickering over whether it was actually new.
UNHIDE BITCHES! :D— bunbuidoi
wow can we stop postin the same tutorial over n over?— weezy69
Way to copy the exact same thing that I posted.— method3909
Earn Easy Cash (Reply-to-Unlock Bait Thread)
A hidden 'make money online' tutorial that just farmed a year's worth of 'unhide' replies instead of actually earning anyone cash.
A classic hidden-content bait thread in the Tutorials section: AKULA posted a 'moneymaking' guide locked behind a reply-to-unlock wall, and for the better part of a year members simply posted one-word replies ('unhide', 'show', 'kk') to unlock it rather than discuss the method itself. The thread limped along from February to October 2008 with no real engagement or feedback on whether the technique worked, just steady bumps. It's a good snapshot of the era's forum economy, where 'reply-to-unlock' tutorials were a currency for post counts as much as actual info.
hide hack isnt working— that 1 dude
lets see.. I'm home sick and really bored. so why not make some cash? lol.— glish
hopefully ezz— Dylan10311
How to Edit the Fkn0wned Website (Reply-Farm Tutorial)
A quickie web-design trick tutorial that mostly just farmed 'unhide' replies for two years straight
Member thejah posted a short tip about tweaking the Fkn0wned website's front-end (framed as general web design knowledge applicable to any site), locked behind the classic hidden-content-for-reply gate. The thread devolved almost immediately into a wall of one-word 'unhide'/'thanks'/'ty' posts from members just trying to unlock the content, with only a couple of people (April) actually engaging with the technical substance. It ran quietly from November 2009 through March 2010, a good little snapshot of the forum's reply-farming culture around tutorial threads.
if u already kno website design u probably know how to do this already who knows but chk it— thejah
U could just add this on the java script on the address bar instead of making a bookmark but yhea, its faster if u're going to edit many :D— April
im 3 what this?— f0wh
Ventrilo Ban Bypass?
A guy asks how to dodge a Vent ban — and gets told 'no such thing as a vent hack.'
A member named xxatreyu asks in General Discussion whether there's a way to get unbanned from a Ventrilo voice server, hoping for some kind of hack or bypass. Replies range from flat denial that such a hack exists, to vague mentions of proxy programs, to the more grounded explanation that Vent bans are IP-based and suggestions to just use a VPN or new IP. It's a small, low-stakes thread typical of the forum's casual tech-help culture, stretching out over months as stragglers kept dropping in replies from October through December 2007.
no such thing as a vent hack— Eckos
buy a couple vpn's or steal or hack— minitureman
Ventrilo servers ban by IP address, so all you can...— jdonlin
Doing free .edu mails :)
A VIP member ran a little side-hustle handing out free .edu email accounts — and the vouches rolled in.
In this Services board thread from October 2014, forum member Bangerz offered to create .edu email addresses for anyone who PM'd him a name, framing it as a way to kill time and help people out. Several members (Stewart, dexie, SocialEngine) publicly vouched for fast, easy service, while others like posse and Fugit chimed in requesting one of their own, some complaining about delays. The thread trickled on for a couple months with periodic 'bump' posts before going quiet in December 2014, a small but characteristic slice of the forum's informal favor-and-vouch service economy.
Vouch! He made me one— Stewart
/Vouch for this guy. Easy and fast— dexie
This user did an account for me pretty fast. Thank you!— SocialEngine
[REQ] Windows Vista Activation Help
A member begs the forum for a way around Vista activation — and someone actually delivers a zip file.
In the Requests subforum of Fkn0wned's Red Light District section, member .Smurf (aka Acid) asks for a Windows Vista Ultimate key or activation crack, explicitly wanting to avoid reinstalling or messing with programs like Timestop. Fellow member Rogue supplies a rapidshare-hosted tool with step-by-step instructions, and the two go back and forth confirming whether Windows Update would still function afterward. The thread trails off months later with another user, DRTerrorist, reporting the fix didn't fully work for him, still seeing the 30-day activation warning — a quiet, unresolved end typical of these old warez request threads.
Heyy, I've looked everywhere and i can't find anything. Could someone please help me out with a Windows Vista Ultimate key that i can activate?— .Smurf
Here ya go mate:— Rogue
I used the program and i turned off UAC. But i am still getting the 30 day thing in my activation log.— DRTerrorist
Big Microsoft Crack Pack!
A staffer drops a Microsoft keygen bundle and half the forum just says 'ty' for three pages straight
A [Staff] member named Fluffman posted a link to a bundle of Microsoft product-activation tools (covering Office, server OSes, and XP) in the Red Light District's Software subforum. The thread became a classic low-effort 'thanks' bump-fest, with dozens of members chiming in with one-word gratitude, requests for an XP activator, and quoted reposts. It's a small snapshot of the site's software-sharing culture and its Red Light District section where such downloads lived.
gr8 i need a xp activator..— Paws
Gotta love school block bypasses =]— ballistic
hmm thx for the share— ballistic
Invisible Browsing v6.5 release thread
The old IP-masking tool everyone downloaded, half of them couldn't even patch it.
A software release thread in the Red Light District's Software subforum, where regular anarchie65 posted a cracked/patched copy of 'Invisible Browsing v6.5', an IP-masking and browser-privacy tool. The thread ran to at least three pages of the classic download-and-thank cycle: dozens of members dropping quick 'thanks', a few asking for help getting the patch to work, and others mentioning practical (if slightly comedic) reasons for wanting it — dodging ISP throttling, working around a Rapidshare IP ban, or farming region-locked reward-site offers. Pure late-2000s warez-board atmosphere: low effort replies, warn-system tags next to several names, and a couple of now-banned users still in the thread history.
i like this thing it really works PERFECTLY but how to patch it? i dont know how.. can teach?— haha.1
using it for prize rebel so i can do all the US offers— retarded_elephant70
Most i have tried so far havent worked :S 3rd time lucky?— TenSpeed
MSN Webcam Hack (flagged as virus)
A 4-page "MSN webcam hack" thread that was mostly people saying thanks, asking if it worked, and one guy calling out the download as a virus.
A long-running thread in the Red Light District > Software subforum shared some kind of tool claiming to let users spy on or access others' MSN webcams. As with a lot of these old download threads, the replies are mostly one-liners: thanks, bumps, requests to 'unhide' hidden content, and skepticism about whether it actually worked. At least one member flagged the file as a virus after trying it, which cuts through the hype typical of these Red Light District posts.
It's a virus don't download.— Pyroxic
Video is kinda homo looking..— MONST3R
no answers, just off topic replies— LoRd Ragealot
Server Destruction tool release thread (tail end)
A years-long 'Server Destrustion' tool/release thread limps to its final page — mostly just members saying thanks and asking what it even does.
This is the tail end of a long-running thread in the Red Light District > Software section of Fkn0wned.Com, an early-2010s gaming/cheat-scene forum. By page 6 the thread has devolved into a string of short replies — thanks, praise, and at least one member asking what the shared tool actually does — rather than substantive discussion. It captures the typical rhythm of these boards: a popular release draws a long tail of bump-and-thank posts from regulars long after the original content was posted.
dude awesome— night2shade
So What exactly does it do?— {}JuNNeZ{}
Rageage anyone?— whee
MadCrackeR Upload Thread
A cracked tool drop that kept randoms saying 'ty ty ty ty' for a full year straight.
A software release thread in the Red Light District > Software section, sharing a tool called 'MadCrackeR' (billed as 'The Cracker Machine') via an MUpload.com link. Posted by member afteryou back in February 2007, the thread quietly kept pulling replies through the rest of 2007, mostly one-line thank-yous, 'does it work?' checks, and a few skeptical or hype reactions. It's a good snapshot of the low-effort, high-volume bump culture typical of Red Light District release threads on this forum.
lmao cracker machine coool CRACKER ! lol— trickster
Can crack anything ?— [LiP]STicK.
Dayum— CodenameHawk
Administrator Password Hack (Windows Boot-Disk Trick)
The 2008 thread that shared a boot-disk trick for resetting Windows admin passwords — and the replies are pure old-forum gold.
Posted by uploader LoRd Ragealot in the Red Light District > Software subforum, this thread shared a bootable utility said to reset local Windows 2000/XP administrator passwords without knowing the original one. It's a classic 'warez board' upload post, complete with a screenshot and a short description, followed by a handful of members dropping quick thanks and rep. Nothing eventful happened beyond typical appreciation replies — a small, ordinary utility-sharing thread typical of the era.
thankssofuckinmuchdude i LUB YOU— xStJimmyx
man man man....so nice....+rep— albert90
thanks for this— goofu
Hack Tools, Keyloggers, Crackers and MORE!
One megathread, a thousand-plus tools — password crackers, WEP breakers, keyloggers, the whole 2007 script-kiddie toolbox in one post.
A Supervisor named DCLXVI posted a sprawling master-list dump in the Red Light District > Software section, cataloguing hundreds of downloadable security/hacking utilities: password and hash crackers, WiFi/WEP cracking tools, NT/2000 exploit and rootkit utilities, keyloggers, network sniffers, and application password-recovery tools, many with Spanish-language descriptions. It reads like a classic mid-2000s 'ultimate hacking tools' link compilation typical of the era's underground/warez forum culture. The reply chain is short and low-effort — a one-word 'cool' and a dismissive jab from a staffer calling it a 'pointless thread' — suggesting the post was seen as an oversized, low-value link dump even by regulars.
LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF HACKING TOOLS! 1000+— DCLXVI
cool— sammo
Pointless thread starter— HaSh
BunnyHop Script Thread
MessiaH drops a bhop script, gets called out as 'just 2 binds' — classic scripting subforum energy.
A member named MessiaH posted a simple homemade bunnyhop script for CS 1.6 in the Scripting subforum back in January 2008. Replies were the typical mix of thanks and 'unhide' requests common to script-sharing threads, though one poster (hugz`) called out the script as nothing more than two binds rather than a real script, sparking a bit of mockery. Another user (TeKn1qu3z) asked for proof it worked, and a couple of unrelated members dropped in just to ask for a bhop script of their own. Small, low-drama thread but a nice time capsule of the era's script-sharing culture and forum ranks (Noob, Trained Noob, Forum Addict, Co-Manager, Uploader).
Thats not a script.. thats 2 binds.. wow. Stay in school!— hugz`
proof?— TeKn1qu3z
need BunnyHop script— Frauenarzt
Saken's Bomb Jump Script
The autoexec.cfg trick that made your CS bomb-out jump look ridiculous — and everyone said thanks.
A short scripting thread in the Counter-Strike 1.6 Scripting subforum where user 4Saken shared a silly autoexec.cfg script that made a player's character do a goofy jump animation while holding the bomb and pistol (viewable via thirdperson). The replies are mostly quick appreciation posts from a handful of members rather than any real debate or drama — a small, lighthearted 'funny shit' find typical of the era's script-sharing culture. Long-time poster LoRd Ragealot, a 1000-post club member, also dropped by, showing the thread got some attention from established regulars.
good shit i love you!— Sasio
thanks— goofu
oh cool— Barry2k7
How to Hide Folders Without Making Them Hidden
A little folder-hiding trick sparks a wave of curious 'lets see' replies from the old CS crowd.
A short tutorial thread in Gametration's Random Tuts subforum, where user Gospel posted a trick for hiding folders on a PC without using the standard hidden-attribute method. The replies are mostly one-line reactions from members curious to try it out, typical of the low-effort tutorial-sharing culture in this corner of the forum. w44s later confirms it worked. Nothing dramatic happens here — it's a small, everyday slice of the site's tips-and-tricks scene.
sounds interessting— w44s
and wow it works nice— w44s
lets see— tracyfan_1
Rapidshare Wait-Time Workaround Tutorial (Tail End)
Late-2007 crew still hitting up an old Rapidshare workaround tutorial, quick thanks and 'unhide' requests all around.
This is the tail end (page 4 of 4) of a Random Tuts thread from late 2007 sharing a method to cut down Rapidshare's download wait times, a common need back when free-tier file hosts throttled downloads hard. By this point the original tutorial content had scrolled off and the thread had devolved into short replies, thanks, and members asking to 'unhide' hidden content. A low-key, utilitarian corner of the forum rather than a dramatic one, but a nice time capsule of how much forum culture revolved around file-hosting workarounds.
unhide— Sir.Buddha
lemme try sexy— blackxthink
thx!— hanibal
Advanced Googler
One guy's Google search tips thread quietly ran for two months on pure lurker gratitude.
A member named chooken shared a basic guide on advanced Google search techniques in the Random Tuts subforum. The thread drew a steady trickle of short, low-effort replies over several months (October to December 2007, with one late straggler), mostly one-word thanks or confusion. Nothing dramatic happened — it's a small, quiet slice of the forum's everyday tutorial-sharing culture rather than a notable event.
How To Be An Advanced Googler— chooken
If you don't quite understand something, pm me.— chooken

A New Way to Get Steam IDs and Friends
A member claims he 'accidentally' found a trick to grab Steam IDs and friends lists — and everyone piled in to see if it was legit.
Posted in October 2007 in the Off-Topic > Random Tuts subforum, this thread has a member named Famousss claiming to have stumbled on a new method for pulling Steam IDs and friends lists, explicitly framed by the thread title as useful 'for scamming Steam accounts.' The original post content was hidden behind a spoiler/unhide tag, prompting a cascade of replies from other members just asking to 'unhide' it or see if it worked. It's a pretty typical example of the forum's cheat-and-scam-tutorial culture — low-effort curiosity replies, one skeptical 'ooookkkk' response, and a lot of 'let see' energy rather than real discussion.
discovered accidently by myselve no more than 20 mins ago... thanks for looking FAMOUS— Famousss
ooookkkk unhide then— slingblade
what is this...— valleyvalleymousemouse
Easy Money with PayPal (thread tail, page 11)
An 11-page 'easy money with PayPal' thread that was mostly just people saying 'ty' and 'gratz'
This is the tail end of a long-running Random Tuts thread called 'Easy money, with paypal,' one of those old forum staples promising a quick-cash method. By page 11 the actual content has scrolled off into archive history, leaving just a wall of drive-by replies — one-word thanks, 'unhide' requests, and skeptical 'show!' demands typical of tutorial threads on cheat/warez forums of the era. A mix of long-timers (some joined back in 2006) and brand-new accounts (joined December 2007) all piled on, showing how these money-making tuts kept pulling fresh eyeballs years after posting. No real drama here, just the quiet hum of a community chasing a free-money tip.
OH EM GEE, m0 m0n3y f0 d3m h03z— CodenameHawk
unhide— Exover

Gaining IP via Myspace
A 2007 'grab someone's IP' tutorial that mostly turned into skepticism and shrugging
A May 2007 thread in the Random Tuts subforum where user Afteryou posted a method claiming to obtain someone's IP address (apparently via Myspace), insisting it worked despite not getting much love. Reception was mixed-to-skeptical, with regulars like conTagious pointing out an IP alone doesn't get you much, while others just said thanks or reported it didn't work for them. The thread ran three pages but stayed pretty low-key, more forum filler than a real event, with the usual cast of banned/notable members chiming in for a laugh.
dont complain that it dosent work cause it does And I have been doing this for quit awhile so anyways l8tz— Afteryou
Bah i just view my server statisics lol . u cant rly do a lot with just a IP adress annyways— conTagious
tried it, cant get it to work lulz im a nub...i think— ballistic
MSN Password Cracker (Beta) Thread
An 8-page thread where members traded links and thanks for a shady 'MSN password cracker' tool — 2007 internet in a nutshell.
In this Random Tuts thread from June 2007, user minitureman shared a re-upped RapidShare link to a tool billed as an 'MSN Hacker (beta),' apparently a brute-force password cracker aimed at MSN Messenger accounts. The replies are mostly short thank-yous, requests to 'unhide' the download, and a running side-debate about how impractical and slow brute-forcing passwords actually is. It's a low-drama, high-volume 'gimme the file' thread typical of the era's file-sharing tool boards, with a bunch of now-forgotten regulars chiming in with one-liners.
i hate brute forcing programs, takes like month and what if the guy's password is like iLoVeKaTe or qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm— AKULA
i know but if you realy hate sum 1 you could just leave it over night to scan lol— minitureman
brute force sucks— complex
Installing Custom Content for CS (Models/Skins/Sprites Tutorial)
The old ritual of manually folder-diving into cstrike/ just to get a new gun skin to load right.
A basic tutorial thread on Gametration.com's Off-Topic/Random Tuts board, walking through the folder structure needed to install custom models, skins, and sprites for Counter-Strike (1.6 and Source). Original poster Darkness shared the steps, and it got some traction with members chiming in about whether it worked, confusion over sprite files, and a helper (FUzzY_WUzzY) reposting a fuller directory-by-directory breakdown lifted from elsewhere. Pretty mundane by cheat-scene standards — no drama, just classic 2006-2007 forum tech support energy with dead-simple emoticons and 'thanks bro' replies.
Nope, didn't work. What exactly is a sprite?— Justin Genocide
Nice ! It worked for me!— Sonikk
Note: This tutorial was not made by me.— FUzzY_WUzzY
Get Someone's IP Over MSN
A 2007 'old but gold' tutorial thread on grabbing IPs over MSN — half the replies just yelled 'this is old news'
Posted in the Random Tuts sub-board under Off-Topic, minitureman shared a reposted (not self-written) tutorial explaining how to get someone's IP address over MSN Messenger, asking for donation points for the find. The reception was mixed — several longtime members like pherball and p5y immediately called it old and widely known, while others thanked him or reacted with generic approval. It's a small, dated snapshot of the era's casual script-kiddie/IP-grabbing culture that circulated on gaming forums like this one.
Oh this is pretty old, everyone knows about this >_>— pherball
yh i kinda new but some people don't know so i thought ill be the one to tell them— minitureman
oww the simple, this is very old— p5y
How to Download Videos from YouTube (2007 Tutorial Thread)
The classic 2007 'how do I save a YouTube video' thread everyone needed for that school project
A quick tutorial thread from Fkn0wned.Com's 'Random Tuts' section explaining how to download YouTube videos, posted back when that was still a niche trick in 2007. It drew a steady trickle of thank-yous from members over the following months, including a few who admitted they needed it for school assignments. The thread wraps up with another member essentially telling latecomers to just Google it, a fittingly low-key end for a low-key tutorial.
nice hha i need this for school— Agility
Go to google and type Download Youtube Videos and you will find many sites— Afteryou
Please accept my gratitude.— fattie
How to Find Almost Anything with Google (2007 tutorial)
Fourteen replies deep into the old 'Google is basically a cheat code' tutorial thread
A December 2007 tutorial thread in the Random Tuts sub-board where user Bradders shared a guide on using Google search tricks to dig up files and content. The reactions were mostly low-effort agreement and 'lol duh' style replies, typical of a casual filler thread, with a couple of members thanking Bradders for the tip. It's a small, unremarkable slice of everyday forum chatter rather than a dramatic event, but it captures the casual tutorial-sharing culture of the board.
Sorry if this has been posted but its good ^^— Bradders
cool didn't know all that! this comes in very handy!— anarchie65
lol, duh^^^^— TAZZY123
How to Get Megaupload Premium Legally
8 pages of forum regulars begging to 'unhide' the free-Megaupload-premium secret
A long-running tutorial thread in the Random Tuts sub-forum promising a legal method to get Megaupload premium access, which by early 2008 had ballooned to 8 pages. This snippet captures the thread's late-life pattern: dozens of members dropping quick one-line replies just to 'unhide' the hidden tutorial content, along with a scatter of 'thanks' posts. It's less a discussion than a queue of curious members chasing free premium file-hosting access, typical of the era's tutorial-unlock threads.
unhide— lasse321
Unhide!— Killer-k
sounds good— Niall
Java Image Hack Tutorial Thread
A member named Famousss drops a 'java based image hack' and half the forum just shows up to say thanks and vanish.
In this 2007 Random Tuts thread, longtime member Famousss shared a small Java-based image hack/trick, apologizing right after for a messed-up code box formatting. The rest of the thread is the classic forum ritual of members replying with quick 'ty', 'unhide', and 'thanks' posts to unlock or acknowledge the hidden content, with a couple of one-liners and a stray 'thats absolutely terrible' jab thrown in. Nothing dramatic happens — it's a low-stakes, high-volume bump-and-thank thread typical of the era's tutorial sharing culture.
this is a fun little java based image hack... thanks FAMOUS— Famousss
Thats absolutely terrible.— AcidViper
replying for content— uselessx
How to Add Players from an In-Game Server on Steam
A workaround thread for Steam's friend-request restrictions, openly pitched as handy for scamming accounts — then quietly deflated when someone points out Shift+Tab already does it.
Posted in the Random Tuts subforum in October 2007, this thread offered a workaround for a Steam restriction that stopped users adding players they'd met in-server, with the OP's title explicitly flagging it as useful for scamming Steam accounts. Most replies are short one- or two-word thank-yous typical of the tutorial-farming culture on the board, with a few members asking to 'unhide' the content. The thread deflates a bit when a Supervisor (DCLXVI) and later a regular (rnie) point out the whole 'trick' is just the standard Shift+Tab overlay method, prompting the OP to admit they'd only just discovered that themselves.
what kind of tutorial is this, wtf, just press Shift+Tab and add players, why make a fkn thread about how to do it?— rnie
Uhh you can do this ingame. Press ShiftTab while playing and click PLAYERS down the bottom.— DCLXVI
oh, sorry, just figured out you can open the steam community by pressing Shift+tab when in a game— valleyvalleymousemouse
Norton Internet Security 2009 Cracked Upload
NIX drops a Norton 2009 trial-reset crack — cue two pages of 'ty' and 'unhide'
A classic Warez > Security Tools post from staple uploader NIX, offering a cracked copy of Norton Internet Security 2009 along with a full copy-pasted feature list and system requirements lifted straight from Symantec's marketing. The crack reset the trial period on each boot and only worked on 32-bit XP/Vista. The thread devolved into the usual reply-farming pattern of one-word 'ty'/'unhide' posts from members chasing the hidden download link, with a little light chatter about ditching Avast/ZoneAlarm for something better.
thank you for this. my antivirus SUCKS DICK .— joeym0nk
Nice, been looking for something better than Avast/Zone Alarm -__-— Mutil8
Where's the crack? :S answer plz— mikeyynguyen
Nod32 free (AesirThor's antivirus share)
One guy shared free NOD32 antivirus access and the thread turned into 20 replies of 'ty', 'unhide', and 'danke'
AesirThor posted a hidden method for getting NOD32 antivirus for free in the Warez > Software > Security Tools subforum, back in March 2009. The replies over the following months are almost entirely low-effort thank-yous, 'unhide' requests, and one guy asking if it worked on 64-bit. Classic warez-board filler thread — the kind of low-stakes, everyday post that quietly kept a section alive between the bigger drama threads.
nod32 100% free.— AesirThor
is this 64-bit? Time to find out— Sakai
nice best virus scanner u can get in my opinion— RossCopland
NOD32 Antivirus Lifetime Fix Share
A 2008 warez drop for cracked NOD32 antivirus that kept getting bumped for over a year straight
In the Warez > Security Tools section, user Traitor posted a RapidShare download for a cracked/lifetime version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus, padded out with a full copy-pasted marketing pitch about NOD32's features and awards. The thread is a typical low-effort 'wares' drop, and the replies are almost entirely one-word bumps and thanks ('ty', 'thx', 'unhide', 'nice') from members grabbing the download and password. It stayed active from January 2008 through mid-2009, with stragglers still finding and thanking the thread over a year later.
password isnt working. edit: nvm fixed.— Xclusiv
Omfg thank you soo much =)— Seether
I think I am going with this, it seems better than Kaspersky thing— hunterbrute224
CS:Source Mouse Sensitivity Adjuster Script
A newbie scripter's first release gets a cold 'retarded' review before a fellow member steps in to defend him
In this Scripting subforum post from December 2007, member 4Saken (Forsaken Shadows) shared a simple two-key CS:Source console script letting players adjust mouse sensitivity on the fly with Page Up/Page Down. It was 4Saken's first scripting release, and the thread is a small, wholesome slice of forum life: a blunt one-word dismissal from Goodapollo, a defense from Inferno_Scripts pointing out the script worked fine, and a grateful reply from 4Saken thanking him for the support. Nothing dramatic, just an ordinary day in a hobbyist scripting corner of the old cheat/gaming scene.
thanks i just started scripting and am now releasing my scripts i have made so i hope its good— 4Saken
let's see. EDIT: retarded.— Goodapollo
Hey man, he just started, give him a break. It's a perfectly working script thats easy to use and simple, how is it retarded?— Inferno_Scripts
F.E.A.R Combat Download
One guy shares a free F.E.A.R Combat download and CD-key, and the thread just... keeps going. For months.
A 2007 thread in the Other Games > Others section where member PaRaNoID posted a download link and CD-key for the free multiplayer game F.E.A.R Combat, plus a patch link. The thread sprawled across three pages and into 2008, mostly filled with newer members bumping it, thanking the OP, or asking to 'unhide' the links (a common forum mechanic requiring a reply to reveal hidden content). Low drama, purely a resource-sharing thread that lived on as a quiet utility post for a long tail of low-post-count members.
Remember if you get banned from this game you can get another cd-key— PaRaNoID
or you could just go to imgay.com and get it from there ROFLCOPTER!— The Rizzle
fear can play in computer?— Kitty2008
