Why do they refer to pornography as pr0n? (that's 'r' before a zero, if I've read it right)

Two reasons that I've heard:

1. They intentionally misspell it "pr0n" or "pron" to get by filtering software.

2. It's all part of d00dsp33k. Y'know, being 31337 (eleet) and stuph. Beats me.

John: FYI, look at posts 215-218: a duplicate set of 2 posts, with times spanning 2 minutes. That may indicate a bug you'll be interested in.

Moose4, ICU812: Yea, 'pr0n' to fool filters makes sense.
