Pr0n or pron is Leet slang for pornography.[2] This is a deliberately inaccurate spelling/pronunciation for porn,[21] where a zero is often used to replace the letter O. It 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 may reject messages as offensive or spam. The word also helps prevent search engines from associating commercial sites with pornography—which might result in unwelcome traffic. Pr0n is also sometimes spelled backwards (n0rp) to further obscure the meaning to potential uninformed readers.[24] It can also refer to ASCII art depicting pornographic images, or to photos of the internals of consumer and industrial hardware. Prawn, a spoof of the misspelling, has started to come into use, as well; in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, a pornographer films his movies on 'Prawn Island'. Conversely, in the RPG Kingdom of Loathing, prawn, referring to a kind of crustacean, is spelled pr0n, leading to the creation of food items such as “pr0n chow mein”.
Once again your youthful inexperience shows itself -- that, my dear dclamp, is Transport Tycoon -- hopefully the Deluxe version lest wossy be a noob. Or perhaps it is even better, OpenTTD. But anyway, I have digressed -- you will know no greater joy than to stamp out your computer competition and achieve TTD greatness.
