Yep .. the rest of us ascii-artist seem reluctant to stray from alt.ascii-art > This isn't the late 80's > when ASCII art was still wildly popular in Usenet. Alas not .. I think ascii-art have lost popularity to WWW. Most old internettechnologies have lost popularity to WWW. So many new internetusers today don't even know of the existence of Usenet , FTP or IRC .. or even real email .. thinking webmail is all there is. "Yo , so watz yr hotmail ?" - I don't have a hotmail account .. I have a unix mailaccount. "Wat !? .. Don't U knoow U must hav a hotmail .. evrybody has 1!" - Well I don't. "n00b !!" > Keep up the good work Bug! I, for one, enjoy seeing your work, even > without detailed descriptions. I do too .. Bug IMO is the best ascii-artist there is. Clearly number one on my list of top ascii-artist. His work would just be better with descriptions. And if it takes so little effort to make it perfect .. why not do it ?
