Or SOME name like that... a group that was described as "a sort of best of
alt.art.ascii"; whatever happened to it? It was gone for a year or two then
popped back into existence briefly and now appears to be gone again. . . :( It
was a moderated newsgroup that usually had some really good stuff... Why's it
gone? :(

Faster than a speeding e-mail message,
Leaps higher than an AOLer flame,
It's line noise...it's a power surge...it's. . .

Why's it >gone? :( Because it is a moderated newsgroup but nobody uses it...so the newsgroup's Moderator sits and waits for someone to send him messages that he can approve. That's what happens with moderated newsgroups...if there is no traffic or very low traffic then they just die. The only way to revive rec.arts.ascii is for the moderator to request David C. Lawrence to make it an unmoderated newsgroup. I'm fairly sure that the current moderator, Don Bertino, is unwilling to do that. ----- / \ ) | :==================: " )/ /|| Waiting on || )_ /* / || postings to || * | || rec.arts.ascii || (=====~*~======) \ || || 0 \ / 0 ==================== // (====*====) || ............. / \ .......... // * || :\ ############ \ || (=====*======) || : --------------------------------- V * V : | * |__________|| :::::::::: | o (======*=======) o \ | | || ....... | \\ * || --------------------------------- 8 || (=====*======) // 8 V * V --------------------------------- 8 =|=; (==/ * \==) =|= \ ########################### \ / ! \ _ * __ / | \ \ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \ ! ! !
