NEW ascii arts ring
alt.ascii-art
· 1 message · 25 Aug 2001
Since Yahoo! took over the ASCII Art Ring, they've begun using it to promote themselves. Their interface design is ugly, their navigator isn't exclusively ASCII, and there are advertisements. Since decentralization was one of the goals of Web Rings when they originally became popular, I took it upon myself to write software to support a web ring to replace the ASCII Art Ring. If you have a site featuring ASCII art, I encourage you to register and join this new ring. http://artcode.org/ascii/ andy PS The interface design is ASCII-only, and is Lynx compatible.
