It would be nice if I had the time to at least try and draw more ascii, but lazyness and busyness are not conducive to good ascii art ;-) > Hmm I wonder what would happen If I put a news://alt.ascii-art link in > my Slashdot sig? I would put an asciipr0n.com link there but I don't We'd get more lurkers? :) People who can do ascii art well are few and far between these days, I think people are more interested in fancy "real" graphics. Perhaps I'm way off the mark there since those comments are all based on guesses :) One thing that might be worth doing is knocking together some good tutorials, post them here and on the web somewhere, and encourage people to try them out and post their results. Volunteers? :) T.
