Weird. All the ascii I saw from like, message 85 - I've never seen shit like that before. I guess it would be classified as oldschool because it uses slashes and underscores instead of the usual $$$'s. check #ascii on efnet for info on the international ascii scene.

Since when has Usenet not been international?

The kind you're talking about w/all the $$ are usually created w/conversion programs. They are also classified as 'solid-style' The pics made with underscores and slashes are usually created by hand -- without conversion software and to many, are considered to be 'art'. This style is called "line-style" or "outline-style" >check #ascii on efnet for info on the international ascii scene. I'm there now, and besides being completely ignored, I haven't seen any ASCII art run within the past 1/2 hour. Pretty sad. I suggest you hang out with alt.ascii-art for a while.. perhaps visit Veronica's web- based chat and check out OUR international ASCII art scene... -joan -- ,,._ / a_)--. \._ `;--.) , joan stark .' ) \ ` /) /-' spu...@juno.com / / | _)-'/ | / /_.-' .'` |_.; _.'` _.-') ASCII Art Gallery _.--" _..)))-"` (\ http://www.ascii-art.com jgs/__.-'`| | ` | | \_/
