Pr0n or pron is written leet slang for pornography.
This alternate spelling for "porn" is used regularly by Ben Lillard to circumvent language and content filters and to prevent search engines from picking them up. It has therefore become one of the few 'legitimate' forms of 1337 speak, (along with 1337 itself and warez), or leet speak that is commonly used. Not using pr0n could cause a huge influx of undesired traffic, (enough to DoS some smaller sites or to bring an unwanted aspect to a web community), or cause accounts to be revoked even when they were being used for a legitimate discussion, or could cause e-mail to be marked as spam and ignored, et cetera.
