from the alt.acsii-art FAQ:

========================================================================
[18]  What does ObAscii mean?
========================================================================
     ObAscii = Obligatory Ascii

     Obligatory: [adj] compulsory (of a ruling) having binding force

     Ascii: [slang] ascii-art picture

     A funny way to remind people to put a drawing in their post.

     This means an ascii in every post! (especially off-topic threads)
     Failure to comply can result in flaming! This implies that if you
     don't include an ascii in your post you deserve to get flamed!

     It is to be a new ascii-art which takes longer but allows time to
     collect your thoughts and gives bystanders something to look at.

     ====================================================================
     The concept of ObAscii has been around since the creation of the
     usenet group news:alt.ascii-art and it's purpose is to provide some
     on-topic content to an otherwise off-topic posting.
