Discuss.

[Chruser]

Ownage has been better since the CliffyB (http://www.planetunreal.com/cliffyb) days.

[Jamesadin]

Well, Owned makes more sense than Pwned, but Pwned sounds alot funnier.

[Hellmonkeys]

Owned is a lot better. I hate made up words like 'Pwn' and 'j00' and all that crap :p.

[Jamesadin]

Pwned!

[Silverjinx18]

I dunno...I like using pwned as opposed to owned...

[ask_rabber]

you can generally tell who uses pwned vs owned or regular type vs "1337". the pwned and 1337 generally is d2 players who do not know what they are talkin about, and get real annoying real fast.

i stick with owned.

[Mantralord]

pwned

The proper way is: pwnd

1337

The proper way is: l337

[Grav]

Owned > Pwned but Pwnt > Owned

[Demosthenes]

who gives a fuck...it all means the same thing. I personally like owned better because some ppl completely use that "l337" crap and it's confusing but who really cares...

[ask_rabber]

but who really cares...

i care, not a day goes by that i don't think about pwned or owned.

Actually, pwned has its roots in Counterstrike.

My friends in real life have taken to using that work instead of owned for verbal taunting such as at LANs or whenever convienient. However, since pwned is difficult to pronounce (only being created because the lowercase "p" is similar to o), we say Poned, rhyming with Toned and Owned, even though that would be an incorrect pronounciation of it.

[ask_rabber]

did i say it came from d2? no. i just said generally d2 players use it...

[!King_Amazon!]

Whoever made up "Pwned" needs to go back to Arab.

[Medieval Bob]

Arabia you mean? And... um... what connection does the replacement of an "o" with a "p" have with Arabia?

[ask_rabber]

its over your head bob.

[Shade]

Bob...take a look at rabber's title......yeah.....

[!King_Amazon!]

Go back to Arab Bob.

[Medieval Bob]

Damnit! I don't get it! I'm not from Arabia! *Defiant*

(jk.. upon closer inspection of sed title, I understand the meaning behind the statement)

I'm still not an Arab... *snif*

[ask_rabber]

even though you think you get it, you don't. there's more to it than you think.

n00b. 4 can be s too.

[uncapped]

i...dont...understand......

[Medieval Bob]

Nah. only 5 can be s.

[Kingof2v1]

bob ur wrong.. s can be like 3 numbers.. 2, 5, 4. thats just how it goes... but usually its 2..

[Medieval Bob]

Nah, you're just trying to cover your ass. 5 is shaped like an s. That's why it can be interchanged with s. 2 is.. somewhat shaped like a backwards s. 4 has nothing whatsoever in common with s. 4 is a. See how they're similar? 4 = A. not s.

Just admit you made a typo in your l337 sp34k and don't make an ass of yourself.

[Jamesadin]

Does it really matter?

[Kingof2v1]

Does it really matter?
yes it really does matter i live my live by 1337 and bob is obviously not 1337.. notice.. he said l337 its 1337. and you CAN use s as a 4. case closed.. get back on subject pwn owns own.... just like i pwned bob.^_^

[Grav]

I've never seen someone use s as a 4, ever.

[Hades-Knight]

n00b. 4 can be s too.


omg you are an idiot

[slaynish]

I know WHY people made up pwned, becuase o and p are right next to eachother, a SIMPLE typo, i prefer pwned though ^_^ and l337 and BOB and JIM FRANK AND Bo-Bo

[Kingof2v1]

knight... u would never understand... its real 1337.

[Medieval Bob]

Everyone laugh at King together for being so stubborn as to try to cover up his typo by saying that s can be three different numbers. Buhahahahaha

[Kingof2v1]

K, im just ignoreing you, because you are one iggnorant fuck and you should kill yourself for being so fucking iggnorant... have a nice fucking day, you fucking fatass.

[Grav]

1) Bob isnt fat

2) 'iggnorant fuck'

Need I say more?

[Doofus_AW]

I am pretty sure the origin of pwned was a simple mis-key due to the placement on the keyboard. Could we talk about something different and more meaningful now? Like the benefits we could all get from eating one bag of pork rinds at every meal?

Mmmmmm......Pork Rinds...

[!King_Amazon!]

Does it really matter?he said l337 its 1337

And he was right.

I can feel my brain trying to kill itself.

[Odyssey]

personally...no offense but...i think you all sound like homos arguing over what numbers look like letters...but yeah its true..most people who use l337 or 1337 or w/e the hell you want to call it..are noobs who think they are hip and hackers...so yeah...doofus..those pork rinds sound good...

[NonGayMan]

Sometimes you hit "p" instead of "o" so it makes pwned instead of owned.

[Squirt]

[MiNi_MaX]

Thse are websites from Google research. They explain l337 languages properties and how to translate it.

http://www.planetquake.com/turkey/l33t.htm

First site say "Remember, l33t speak is not a consistent language. Usage varies drastically from user to user." but I dont see how "4" could be used as "S". And the others are interesting.
On topic I prefer owned over pwned.
