pwn is actually the 1337(leet) form of own and it means you are a master, you are great and you destroy all. Example- In Halo i got a killctacular therefore i pwned everyone.

from my understanding of it, to 'Pwn' someone, started out, as an error in Counter Strike (someone correct me if I'm wrong) some one got 'owned' and the person who typed it in, made the mistake of putting a 'p' instead of an 'o'. It's use proliferated, and continues even today.

Another way of looking at it, is to see that Pwning someone, is one step higher than owning someone, say, a higher plane of success.

EX:

if you beat someone 10-8, you beat them.

" " 10-5, you stomped them.

" " 10-3, you owned them.

" " 10-0 you pwned them.

ofcourse, that's just my opinion/context of it, I may be wrong...

Oh... My... God....

this has to be the dumbest question, and the asker is spazing out because noone is answering it. I mean come on! after the first 5 bumps, you should have realized your not gunna get a response! And why do you even care what "Pwned" means? Its not worth getting yourself banned for!

o, and whos Meka?

Maka is a Moderator, and he's stopped already, and hopefully he won't do it again.

Let's just let this slink back to the bottom.

I'm sure he's figured it out - and if he hasn't - he'll be gone soon.
