I see about the same thing.  Not just for ascii art, but everything
else as well.  I suspect the "bystander effect" may be a factor..

Once in a while, I see a new sig that's based on something I did,
usually a cat.  But a lot of the time it's in alt.fan.warlord, so I'm
never quite sure how to react. :)

Yup.  It's mostly just an occasional hobby for me.  I do this stuff
for fun, for the challenge, and to learn how to draw.  Flat surfaces
are hard to find, but computers are all around me :).
