What does everyone think of this site? Is it ascii art or something
else. If its not ascii art, just what the heck is it?
This was submitted to Dmoz awhile ago and I listed it with mixed
feelings. Now its come up for an address change and I thought I would
get some expert second opinions before I update it.
The site is: Macrohouse

Thanks for your help,

Well, this looks like it would be a good place for people who want stuff to put in AOL chats and Instant Messages to be sent to. I tried copying and pasting some of that stuff into Notepad, but it was all messed up, so I'm guessing that it's not fixed-width for the most part.

This site wants in the ascii art webring, and since they have added an ascii section (even though it only contains a handful of ascii pictures, so far), we're considering allowing them to join. What does everybody think? JRO

Yes , it's mainly macro's .. but they have a small section with regular ascii on the site : Laura, i would include it.. but identify it : as "text art" not as ASCII art. I second that. - CJ

Do you take anybody into the ring .. or only quality (or semiquality ) artists. The fact that they only have 7 pics and 4 of them seem to be yours (jro) .. make me want to say ... Nay. Maybe when they do some more.. That Rhino is good!

Well, actually it is NOT ASCII art... even though many of these AOLers call it that. They use non-standard characters. And unfortunately for the rest of the internet, they don't use a fixed-width font -- they use the Arial-10 which is standard on AmericaOnline. Laura, i would include it.. but identify it as "text art" not as ASCII art. BTW, have you seen the Japanese text art sites? They do not use ASCII characters -- but some of their pictures are stunning.

Would someone please post the original page this refers too. I am looking for some macro art and small ascii pics for use in email and chat. If you have any other pages with this kind of art please post the link to them also. Thanks so much for your help.
