It means that you are new and just being negative around the boards. You just have ike 50 posts or less and just being NEGATIVE. Nothing else. You go also around the boards and say opposite of what everyone else is saying. Just like a regular "troll" would do.
Hope this helps!

Well owned doesn't necessarily mean someone dissed you. It is more like someone completely dominated you.
pwned has different origins
-contraction of Pure ownage.
-common typo because P is next to O very much like "teh" is use for "the" on many gaming forums.
-supposedly from some starcraft map- this one is probably the least likely.

Hey goober, are you guessing at those etymologies or did you see a source somewhere that spelled these out? I hadn't heard the first and last possibilities you mentioned, but they're pretty interesting.goober said:

Noelle said:That's spelled as "trawling" if you're speaking of fishing.But yes, trolling has some element of fishing: fishing for angry replies from people who don't know they're being trolled.
Noelle--you're right, but so is ezdude. It's actually both. Trolling is a method of fishing, as is trawling--same thing! Kind of like crayfish and crawfish are the same. Just some fishy trivia fyi.
