About the word "pwned"...

[RobbyZero]

Pwned Originated Originally when someone went to say i OWNED JOO and wrote i PWNED JOO because the O and P are close together and it became a tread that everyone now uses.

This is how it started,nobody cares what you call it or called it. This is factual! Now let this thread die....

[Jordy0823]

no... what if i want to keep it alive... matter of fact I will... and guess what your going to do about it??


absolutely nothing....

[Sfrius]

Robby Zero, in your world, fine. In the gaming world, you are wrong. I realize that o and p are right next to each other, but don't make such a silly assumption. It started with a meaning and it will always have the meaning "Power Owned." Now go back to your little corner and think about what you've done to dishonor the gaming community.

Im dead serious.This is how my friends stumbled upon it as I did. They never purposely wrote PWNED before,but not they do. It's a common trend give it up.

Wait, wait, wait. Your friends stumbled upon pwned and that makes it factual? Look Power Owned takes a while to type, especially during a online game, so pwned is a short way to write it. Makes sence. I know Sfrius plays both R6 and CS (hey look another shorter way to write something), so I know he knows what he is talking about.

[RobbyZero]

So do I,I stumbled upon Pwned on diablo2 and SC

[hund]

Are you saying now that pwned is Power Owned, cause before you were saying it was a typo. I think your tring to eat your words without anyone noticing

[RobbyZero]

Nah I never said it was Power Owned,That sounds pretty retarded...I still go with my statement earlier posted.

[Privateer]

Everyone who is a online gaming veteran has accidentally typed pwned in their lifetime. It got popular because of this and now people purposely do it. I think the level of noobness on this thread is so high I seriously can't listen anymore. POWER OWNED? WTF that's almost as bad as like PRE OWNED and all this other crap noobs come up with or noobs tell noobs.

It became popular on Starcraft. I'm 100% sure about this I've been an avid online gamer for a loong time...like I said I know what I'm saying.

Yeah, I've been an online gamer for 5 years I know what the hell I'm talking about...Robby is completely right about where it came from.

Five years, don't make me laugh. I've been an online gamer ever since I knew what a 14.4k modem was.[/quote]

What have you played?

[ThunderClaw]

RobbyZero is 100% right. pwned is a TYPO. Nothing more. Nothing less. The rest of you must've spoken to people who made a typo, didn't have the guts to admit they'd made a mistake, and dressed it up to make themselves feel better.

Let me say this again.

PWNED IS A TYPO OF OWNED AND USING PWNED INTENTIONALLY IS THE HEIGHT OF IGNORANCE AND INCOMPETANCE.

Everybody's allowed a typo every now and again, however.

[Privateer]

Thunder, we may know the truth but morons won't admit that they were wrong.

[DJ_Chronic]

I think its powned(pound)

[Privateer]

We have already said what it is, noob.

[_Error_Tragic]

i say it 'pwined' but then again, i'm a dumbass so...

Hey, that's how I say it. o.o Bleeeeeeep...

[Scarlette]

Robby's right I think.
