Well - if it has anything to do with ASCII Art then it is welcome.
If it is just some cool information about anything else then post elsewhere.
The people on Usenet have invented something called "newsgroup charta"
to define what kind of data/talk is welcome on a newsgroup - check it out!

And if you want to give us info about search engines like Lycos and Altavista -
this kind of stuff certainly belongs elsewhere and is better looked up at the
sites themselves.
