I am awful at ansi. Just not an artist at all. My current favorite theme is a
mix of a couple I got from Ansigarden. Luciano Ayres is the artist behind
Ansigarden and he's damn good. Currently working on a custom theme for me and
I am excited.

My original board back in the '90s was called Shadowland. I love horror and
stuff like that and got the name from the Peter Straub book. The name of the
board changed when I registered my first domain in '99 or so and
shadowland.com was already taken so changed it to Shadowscope. Still stuck
with the horror theme though and haven't had a desire to change it.
