Laurie | Welcome to CT Laurie.
Pr0n is another way of saying "p o r n" and on CT it is refering to pictures of chips (singles, stacks, stacks with spots, etc). To a chipaholic chip pics are as good as traditional pr0n. As far as why the word is spelled that way -- if I'mnot mistaken it was started as a way to get around the word filters that are used on most forums. I may be wrong about the reason for spelling it that way.
Again welcome to CT

When I 1st joined I noticed allot of my posts that had THAT WORD were changing to some variation of pron.
I thought it was just a typo and changed it back.
After about the 3rd time (in the same post) it finally clicked in my little brain that the mods were busy at work keeping us out of PORN web searchs.
Still, I think allot of posts actually have THAT WORD in it ---do a search.
I do,
(frequently)

What he said. Since you are new here. I will give you some sound advice, leave now while you still have money. This site reminds me of the Guns & Roses song Mr. Brownstone'
We been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone
He's been knockin'
He won't leave me alone
No, no ,no, he won't leave me alone
I used ta do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' ta get a little better
Said the little better than before

You start with dice chips, then its faux clay, Chinese clay, Paulson home setcustom ceramic, custom ASM. Nothing is ever enough. its worse than crack, but with more social values and not looked down upon as much by outsiders. it's a great group of folks that are very knowledgeable but will not help you with your soon needeed intervention! |
