Geeks trying to be cool is annoying. Geeks are not cool and should not attempt coolness.

thaifan99 07-03-2005 11:26 AM

I could prolly kick your ass.........

but you would prolly tell me its arse!!

AmateurFlix 07-03-2005 11:35 AM

I can understand the desire for abbreviation for the sake of brevity, but never did get what's supposed to be cool about making stuff harder to read, using the same number of characters, but also easily decipherable... it just doesn't make sense...

The pr0n spelling was never about being "cool". Learn your internet history... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pr0n

Do you even know what grammar is?

Zoe_Zoebaboe 07-03-2005 11:47 AM

I don't know. I happen to like the word Pr0n. It makes me feel even more geeky. But it seems to work when i'm in between some hotties:

Exactly,

StuartD 07-03-2005 11:50 AM

We can say it is what ever we want... but if there's a whole market of people out there who want to call it what they want, then it's up to us to cater to them, not force them to speak the language we want them to.

Dirty Dane 07-03-2005 12:50 PM

Its pornography - not porn or pr0n :thumbsup

I am fully aware of the "origin" of the term. But it is now used by geeks on message boards trying to be cool and "fit in" with other geeks. It's fucking stupid. Most message boards do not filter the word.

sicone 07-03-2005 12:55 PM

I always thought it was from typos and then just got picked up and used. I know I have accidently typed pron instead of porn before

Drake 07-03-2005 12:55 PM

Remember when people used to call it 'porno' in the 70s and 80s. I always prefered 'porn'.

I really don't want the money of anyone so stupid as to get confused when seeing the non-leet spelling of porn :error

So you only take money from those worthy enough? Only the highest quality pervert masturbator's money is good enough for you huh?

Not knocking everyone who uses the term just those who would get confused by the normal spelling.

And yes there is such a thing as a potential customer being too stupid to bargain with. They end up being more trouble than they're worth. Then again I'm speaking from selling tangible items, not memberships where the only likely trouble could be chargebacks.

maxxx_fucktor 07-05-2005 02:38 AM

pron - prawn. it's delicious, you know.

A pornographer insulting geeks on the internet is like the greens keeper insulting wasps at the country club. The geeks run the place, the pornographers just make it look pretty.

nico-t 07-05-2005 08:05 AM

i never understood why some ppl call porn pr0n, it doesnt make sense
