Hi,

my new sites include now a little ASCII picture gallery. The pictures
there are not by me. I'd only united the pictures to this html-file.

<sarcasm>  great... </sarcasm>
 another site with uncredited ASCII art... 
not one has a signature on it.  And several
have been posted on alt.ascii-art recently
WITH credits.

Why not acknowledge the people who have
created the pics??

Perhaps you have not read the ASCII art FAQ
either?  (a copy can be found at:

Sorry,

that my pics don't have a signature.

Is it so terrible for an owner to see his picture without a credit?
Is it important for anybody who didn't created the pics?
I want to show only few nice ASCII-pictures at my page.

I didn't copy the pics from alt.ascii-art. I collected they from several
places in the web. They are without a credit, because I don't know who
are the owner. If the owner write me with his picture, I will add the
credit. It's easy to say you have the copyright in the web, more than
believe it, but I will like all people acknoledge. Nevertheless my
little ASCII gallery is only a short view to few good examples of this
art.

Unfortunately you have cut off all the artist's initials. I recognized
at least one of Joan's ascii flowers. Please type them back in before
you get the mighty Ten Commandments emailed at you from masses of
ascii readers and artists.

If we (for a moment) disregard the above error...
Nice page! Simple, yet really beautiful!

Yes, when they have spent a long time working on a piece of artwork they
want people to know who created it.  I spent 6-7 hours on a huge picture
of The White Tower by Richard Boye'.  If I had left off the original
pictures creator people would just assume that I had created the picture
from my imagination.  He would not get the credit he deserves for a
fantastic picture.  It's like getting a Van Gogh and scratching off the
signature. 


> Is it important for anybody who didn't created the pics?

It can help the person to know who to request pictures from, if they need 
specialised ones.

I understand this problem happening.  I expect that someone will tell you
if they see a picture that they recognise.
