     When I first started posting here I used the LESTER nickname, that's
because I used to be in  several ASCII/ANSI art groups. These groups were on
local BBSs where we didn't have access to the internet. Some of these groups
had certian specialized styles that they wanted the members to use, like,
colorized ASCII with also the high ASCII characters being used so the
flourishes could be more defined. I always liked the smaller groups so we could
have a more defined 'vision' if you will. Sometimes there were group projects,
sometimes just themes wanted for certian art packs, and so on. It felt like a
club, you know?

Old School ASCII?:
