I'm afraid not. Onomatopoeia is a word that imitates the sound it is referring to, with more or less fidelity. Do you know any cats that really say “meow”? If you still doubt it, I invite you to check this article from the French wiktionary.
Still, I can't believe I'm debating over the word “prout”.

Well, it's a pretty good word!

*walks away while mumbling the word "prout" to himself*

By the way, this leads us into thinking that the founder of the pr0oOuT group actually knows some French.

DUM-DUM-DUM!

*shocking twist*

That narrows it down a little.

It seems odd to me that Prout is even on this forum. Was he a guest who saw the pr0oO group and then registered to be an anti-pr0oO or something?

Also, Comment ?'s sig has the word "Prout" in it.

It makes that sound when most other people fart too. Well, except for small farts.

He started the pr0oOuT group as a guest, and one day he decided to register.

Considering pr0oO came after Prout, this is an impossibility anyway.

The pr0oO group was created on RZ before the pr0oOuT group was created on PC though.

Why was it created in the first place, anyway?

It was created to make boons stop spamming.

And it had the opposite effect.

Nope. Some boons actually were stopped.

How can giving someone a high "boon score" make them stop spamming?

That wasn't the way we worked at RZ.

How did you work at RZ?

This phrase

Please don't spam. The pr0oO group is watching you.

was our main weapon.

Later Zequi and Jona found a way to give us special user titles and ranks but FCY didn't like it.

And it worked?

Why don't you use it anymore?

The only reason why FCY disapproved of such special ranks was because he thought his was the most awesome ever, and he didn't want a rival.

It didn't work very well, no. Some boons were provoked by it though and were given official warnings for flaming later I believe.

spiraldoor wrote:Why don't you use it anymore?

Because the pr0oO group is kinda inactive at the moment.
