All word filters = nonexistent!
@"Philly" makes a new thread announcing the removal of all word filters ever added on FK. Yes, this allows you to use stuff like Sinister and several other disallowed words that were previously censored. This does not mean that your posts may be hateful, racist, etc. All rule breakers will be warned.

FK/Personal PayPal hacked
Earlier this week, @"Philly" made a thread announcing that FK and his own/personal PayPal accounts were hacked. The hacker did not do any harm, except do a few refunds to some transctions. @"Philly" also suggested that if any of the users had received any refunds, they may not use them to avoid negetive or low balance. The good part was that @"philly" was able to regain access ASAP.

7/23/2014 FK News
There were several changes to the Staff Team recently, with members like @"Sector" being promoted to the position of Staff and our beloved @"Gr33d" being promoted to Super Staff. A few inactive additions included @"м¢ℓσνιη" and @"Justice" who stepped down from their positions after years of hard work they put into FK. We'd like to thank our Ex-Staff Members for their contributions and welcome the new Staff members. We hope them to have a great time ahead as Staff.
Along with this, @"Narc" was announced Officially as the Administrator besides @"Philly". @"Narc" had purchased a percentage of FK in May, which will remain unclosed permanently. With members like @"Narc" who have the calliber to run a forum, everything is possible. Congrats @"Narc" and we hope that you'll have a great time Administrating FK.
Here's a quote from Narc:

Here's a quote from Narc:
Raheem by @Arrest - Raheem took over ForumKorner this weekend. @Trilogy, @Kanye, @Leader, and @Sector were being controlled by an Arabic Instagram god who goes by "Raheem Abadi". Many users found Raheem annoying, especially @Arrest who made a thread about it. Arrest's thead titled "Raheem" obtained 56 replies within around 40 minutes.
Removed from DWC by @Phenom - Two days ago FK veteran and ex-moderator @Phenom was removed from the Deal with Caution usergroup. @Phenom is the first pardoned user to have been removed from the DWC usergroup, and is now free to wear any other usergroup on ForumKorner.
FK Movie Night by @Sector - ForumKorner Staff member @Sector has made the suggestion of having a movie night where FK members can get together in a Skype call or join.me session and watch a movie.

@Beware: Welcome to the FK News Interviews! Today I have my friend @Rude here. He has built quite a name for himself here on FK. Any shout-outs you'd like to make before we begin?
@Rude: Hey, @Beware, glad to be here. As for my shoutouts, shoutout to @Leader, @Kanye, @Trilogy and @"TheHackerHD".
@Beware: So, tell us a little about yourself. What do you do on and off the forums?
@Rude: Well, I'm 15 and live in Chicago. I spend my time on FK selling and buying SMs. I've recently taken up record collecting and have amassed quite a large collection.
@Beware: Nice! About how much money have you made from selling items on forums?
@Rude: By now, I've beyond lost count. But somewhere around $7000 sound about right.
@Beware: That is a nice sum of money. If FK was never made, would it have impacted your life in any way? If so, how?
@Rude: I believe yes, besides the fact that I'd have less money, FK has been a learning experience for me, I've learned how to be a successful businessman, a very good tool to have in life.
@Beware: Looks like FK helped you a lot. What is your opinion on the amount of groups we have, and what would you like to do to solve the issue?
@Rude: I don't really mind how many groups we have, because it gives the community more variety. The only thing that bothers me is when people buy a group then sell it the next day.
@Beware: I agree with you completely. Sadly, this interview has come to an end. Anything else you want to say before we wrap this up?
@Rude: I want to thank you for having me, and I want to thank @Philly and @Narc for running this site.
I will use this section to discuss various topics ranging from pop culture to media to politics. I will divulge different topics into two different sections, one being a Winning category and the other being a Losing category.
Winning:
In the winners category this week we have alternative music. I've recently begun to move away from rap music and I've turned back to my roots in alternative, rock, and grunge. Here are few songs I've been listening to.

Losing:
The infamous Christian YouTuber who goes by the alias "G-Man" takes over the loser's category this week. Here are a few videos involving G-Man.
