So do I, but I get so many collections and art from everywhere, I'll promise to be more selective in the future, but it'll have to do. It's meant to be a source of Ascii art, to satisfy everyones need, so that more art and less request can be seen in this newsgroup. > That is not to say that I don't appreciate the generated stuff, only that I > prefer the other.

That's the main point of it too, I'm also going to make it easier to find the art needed, but I ain't got the time. I'm too busy updating it everyday. (Two updates today, three yesterday and three the day before) It looks like I'm going to update it a third time today aswell... > Above all, I most fervently appreciate the work that goes into maintaining > sites like yours and hpe you will continue the work. Sure, I had no idea that it would become that popular and so big. That and the 'Mailbox' (have you seen it?) takes up all my time these days, but it's just so much fun, and there's a _LOT_ of great art out there! > Where do you people find the time?

This week, I have got less sleep than ever, I have stayed up late all week, and I'm awaking 6.45 in the morning to go to school. I don't even want to think about the phone-bill.
