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.

....because "class" (IMO) is, like beauty, "in the eye of the beholder",
not "in the opinion of others".  (my, that's deep!)

There are different types of ASCII art..
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...
