1t = 0ff1c1411y 3p3113d pwn3d1!!!1!1!!!!~~ !!

Shouldn't that first 3 in 3p3113d be a 5? pwn3d (I've never used that word before...)

"owned' is the proper term.

But the 3 key is not directly to the right of the E key? Where is the logic in this?

It's directly above (and slightly to the left) of the E key. pwn3d again.

Look at your keyboard. Where is the "O" key? What key is directly to the right of the "O" key? pwn3d.

It's the way moronic, 12-year old geeks show the rest of the world just how dumb they are.

It's almost as cool as people that put their 3dmark score in their signature...

It's just a way of separating the no0bs from the lifers. If you know what pwn3d is, if you use it, it simply identifies you as someone familiar with internet culture, not necessarily a beyond-hope geek. If you're writing sentences in |337, you're hopeless. If you drop a word in every once in a while, mocking something or someone, you're just identifying yourself as knowing the net culture.

 

[EvilTwin996]

This typo (probably caused by FFS*) is "popular" because an overly large percentage of prepubescent nerds like the way it looks.

I prefer "0wn3d".

pwn = pawn without the "a"...= moooron...

own = own...no questions...

Don't you know it's forbidden to make fun of a Diamond Member if you are only senior?

[MagicianBdotCom]

Nothing is wrong with writing out pwned but people who constantly say it in real life annoy the hell out of me.

pwn = some bollox
own = a word meaning to posess something.

 

[hjo3]

Maybe it'll become a whole new trend... remember how they used to use F's in place of S's in the middle ages? And ppl said "ken" instead of "know?" Just think... presidential address, 2104:

"Gppd Morning mye fellpw 4mericans. 4t 0900 tpday, we pwn3d Sydney."

I'm just assuming we'll go to war with Australia. Seems inevitable, right? Platypi give me the willies.

I am so bored.

 

[Aquaman]

according to googlefight.com........... pwned got owned

pwned ( 11 000 results) versus owned (14 700 000 results)


Cheers,

[xirtam]

We used "owned" for awhile, but then that got pwned.

whatever it is, it's stupid
