I come back to this group from time to time, only to find that it's
more dead than the last time... at least Google's now archived
everything that ever happened here so I've been able to recover all of
the stuff that I'd posted, what, at least a decade ago...
Bjoern, good to see that you're keeping some sort of pulse alive...
and Veronica, newly appointed queen troll, eh? Or is that just the
mouthpiece for the trolls? Well, I suppose that I ought to create an
ObAscii of some sort, perhaps a troll...

Something about the farts that keeps me coming back. I have no ascii art talent. Wait, check this out! (-: It's a happy face, but turned the other way.

I'm a frecuent reader of ascii art group, sadly I'd been seeing how this newsgroup is getting less popular. I still remember old times when every day were populated with great and amazing ascii art.

As I said, maybe I'll get inspired and start my own Ascii saga... ;-D ...for the time being I'm dabbling in writing (in German) besides my main occupations of 2D/3D-animation, drawing and music. It'll take some time before I will get around to doing this. alt.ascii-art will hopefully be still around (when everybody has had enough with all those oh-so-nifty social portals, inadvertently providing revenue for them)! 8-D ML -- ---------------------------------------------------------- "I don't know.

I came into the group today on an impulse. I started making some ASCII art again in December. I don't know how to post it to Google Groups. Looks like it posted in Courier font so it should work.
