    Now that we have that cleared up' date=' can someone please explain "pwned" to me? [/quote']

    PWNED is similar in definition as "owned". When someone claims to have "pwned" or "owned" someone else it is basically saying they worked them over or that it was a very easy kill. Basically like taunting....for instance in basketball they would say "if your face" well us gamers say we "owned" or "pwned" you

     

    To use it in a sentance would be:

     

    My gamer pwned your honor student.

     

    The story I heard abouut PWNED is that someone tried typing in OWNED (like Eric said), but they accidently hit the P instead of the O. It started as mocking that guy, but then it caught on...

     

    Do a google search for "urban dictionary" and you will find out a lot more than you wanted to know about all the slang that teen agers use. Being a teacher I use it a lot so I can understand what the kids say.

    I always thought that Newb is a polite term for a newbie, and Noob is a derogatory term for someone new that is annoying. Very different.

     

    Much like there are "Freshmen" and there are "9th graders." The freshmen are annoying, and the 9th graders are the same age, but are able to act more mature. FWIW, I know some kids that are graduating that are still "freshmen"

    I have potassium permanganate that I can give you/your friend. Next time you are in Portland, you can swing by Oregon City and I can give you a couple of treatments of the stuff. Send me a PM. If you pay shipping, I can probably even put some in a flat rate postal box and send it wherever.

     

    I had montipora eating nudibranchs (two or three times) and zoa eating nudibranchs once.

     

    With enough dips and treatments they can be defeated!!!

    DFS Red Branching Cyphastrea

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have two branching cyphastrea, and three different encrusting cyphastrea. These are all in my 75g with a 6 x 54w TEK light.

     

    Of the branching type, I got one from Rose City about a year ago. I did not know it was a branching one then, because it was encrusted over a frag plug. But now it is putting up a whole bunch of branches that are about 1/4 to 1/2 inch tall now. The other one I just got from Upscales about a month ago. It is a single branch encrusting over a golf tee. I have not had the chance to break it off the tee and mount it in my tank yet.

     

    I would say it would be worth it to drive to portland and get a couple of different corals from the different stores rather than buy from Drs. F&S. I don't have anything against them, but I paid $15 from Rose City, and the one I got from Upscales was in the 3 for $40 tank... Even with paying $30 for gas for the trip, you would still be saving money. :)

    Ya. It was 12:52. I hit the refresh button, and nothing new came up... Completely serious.

     

    Then I posted that and about 10 new posts showed up...

     

    Jon and I live about 2 blocks away from each other. If you work something out with him then also give him mine at the same time.
