Such as the saracasm tag (</sarcasm>), the </pwned> tag represents, that some one has been pwned in a live chat or internet forums. The "</" and ">" come from html talk used on .html, pages for internet websites.

a type of the word 'owned' usually made in the excitement of typing owned and an either misplace of the right hand middle finger on the 'P' or the fat hands of most gamers spamming either.

A corrupted version of the word "owned", this..."word"...has been plagueing internet space since the day some nerd accidently hit the "P" key instead of the "o" to display owned. its definition is unknown, as only the retarded can say it, but it is believed to mean "I have no place in Internet gaming".
"Dude I just pwned you hardcore!" *gunshots from every direction*
"Dude I was pwned!" *gunshots from every direction*
"I hate it when people use the word "Pwned" *gunshots from every direction*

A basic error on the part of a Warcraft Map Designer; It is a misinterpretation of the word "owned"
In gaming language, it means to be elite and "totally dominate" or to "Own" with a "p" or "Pwn"
It can also be used as sort of a refrence to being "elite" or "uber"
This word was first used when a Warcraft Map Designer screwed up in his designing and programmed the computer(when the other player had lost) to say "You were owned." He made a typo and instead the computer ended up saying "You were pwned."

1."Dude, I just pwned you!"
meaning "Dude, I just owned you!"
2. "Dude, my 90th-level sorceror pwns!"
meaning "Dude, my 90th-level sorceror owns!"
meaning "Dude, I just owned you!"

This word's origins do infact come from quake 3 like a gentlemen from the first page mentioned. A player named O.G. coined the term. Furthermore it was not a typo error it was done intentionally. I know this because I am the very O.G. himself. Some may remember my handle, mostly played ctf4 on quake.oarie.net. I'm an unknown e-legend. LOL. I am also the one who coined the term "knee grow."

1. Came from Counter-Strike, meaning "Pistol Owned". Very humiliating for whoever got "pwned" as the pistol is the weakest weapon in the game.
