Pr0n or pron is 1337 slang for pornography.

This deliberately inaccurate spelling/pronunciation for "porn" is sometimes used in legitimate communications (such as email discussion groups, Usenet, chat rooms, and Internet web pages) to circumvent language and content filters - which might result in messages being rejected as offensive or flagged as spam - and to prevent search engines from associating them with pornography - which might result in unwelcome traffic. It has subsequently become one of the most widely used examples of 1337 speak (leet speak). Pr0n is also sometimes spelled backwards to further obscure the meaning to potential non-informed readers.

It can also refer to ASCII art depicting pornographic images.

The creation of the word "pr0n" was by a teenager who decided to spam a forum back in 1995. He continued typing the word "porn" into the reply box, but made a mistake and wrote "pron". After a while, people around the world started using "pron" instead of "porn", and with the influence of 1337, it was transformed into "pr0n", which is what we know to be used today.
