I was going to mention that. I'm sure there are a lot of threads posted in P&N that can give us some ownage.

Hah wow, that's epic. Guess Harvey actually isn't a douche outside of P&N.

Banning a newbie with 2 posts isn't getting owned. The mod calling the Mother over the phone was pure BS.

Why? What did you steal? Oh can you pm me your phone number since I dally in fencing.
 
M4H posts on Offtopic.com or did he may have moved to nonoobs or whatever the splitoff is called after faz decided to make people pay for it
 
The Citrix post was...eh. The Pat Threw and Sampson/Zane post was awesome.

The Randlee post was lame. And the G20 post was great. Mainly because it shows how much the P&N people are douchebags.
 
In case it hasn't been linked yet, here's one of the CasioTech threads: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...222079&highlight_key=y

Here's some mild ownage:

Guy complains about his brother borrowing his car, asks ATOT if he should call the police, then the brother shows up in the thread.

Teachers Facebook creepin' (not as interesting as it sounds)

RoadRunner is blocking Hulu, oh wait, no its just down.

Vista Sucks

I think one of the Patriots threads would offer some good ownage after they lost the Super Bowl. There were a few others as well. I seem to remember a thread where two people were trying to defend pedophiles (as in real pedophiles, not the ones that get slapped with statutory rape). ICRS, TridentyBoy, and Arcadio surely have a solid ownage thread each. I would say a certain conspiracy theory thread from this summer but I don't think it'd be a good one to nominate.
 
This year, it's no contest. I present to you glugglug's thread,

Anyone notice what gold & oil prices did on Friday?

Originally posted by: glugglug
For most of the day, the prices ($/ounce of gold & $/barrel of oil) were perfectly flat - didn't vary by even a penny.

This seems impossible to me, and thinking about it more, it just screams of manipulation. That and the MSM couldn't repeat enough how the lower gold & oil prices (& higher stock prices) Thursday & Friday were due to renewed confidence & a possible market turnaround.

Am I the only one thinking this is the work of the President's Working Group On Financial Markets??

How much more debt did the American taxpayer just acquire to short the gold & oil markets in an attempt to hold the price back below the psychological $1000/ounce barrier?

Yup the Harvey Pwnage of the kid with the stolen computer certainly takes the cake for Ownage of the year.
