In other words: "Hi, I'd like to make a collection of ascii art and I'd
like you guys to do the work for me".

That "database" must be the most pitiful "collection" of anything that I
have ever seen.

Veronica,
 Arent you bieng a little critical?It is a forum for artists to post
thire art and have it archived in a searchable database.I think its a
great idea.Then when people ask,"Heya asciiart dudicules,where can i find
some (insert idea for pic here)",there would be a convient place for them
to go.
  Sorta like Andreas page,but catagorical instead of alphabetacal.

  Scott,
 I would like to put up some stuff there but hardly any of my art
fits any of your catagories.Please expand the scope of your index
and add some more "other" subparts.It might also help if you have
a number beside the catagories that tells howmany entryies are there.
  Of course your on Veronica,s bad side allready,I hope you redeam yerself.

No, I think Veronica's perfectly right. 
I doubt that he'll get many artists to spend their time uploading
their pictures. What for? 

There are a lot of collections already, eg the huge
 _catagorical_ collection by Paul Norgaard 
http://www.duc.auburn.edu/~norgapd/

And I simply don't like the word 'database'. I'd prefer a gallery
anytime. From my experience I can say that via Allan Mullan's link list
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/2695/links.htm
you can find almost any piece of art easily - if you care. 


Andreas

P.S.
Sometimes I believe that alt.asc-art is seen as a social service for 
people in need of a picture. It's not. And some people seem to believe
that the artists are longing for better promotion of their pictures.
I don't think so.

Hrmf! It's 'Allen Mullen' of course! Sorry. :)

And btw, does anyone use my gateway to dejanews?
http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/~freise/ascii/ocollections.html
It's more or less the search filter for *ascii* groups.
Just wondering.

Not until now (nice!).
Sometimes when I look over the requests here, it makes me
wonder how many would be redundant when the requester would
have typed '<subject> ascii art' in e.g. Alta Vista, or
use a query at Deja News or service like yours. It's all
out there folks, the quality of such queries are usually
of a good quality and your wishes can be fulfilled almost
immediately, by yourself.

Exactly, what for? Most of us have homepages where we put our own
pictures, and those who don't are moving in that direction...

[Joris... Where are those naughty bunnies you promised us a few of
months ago?]

hmmm.... Data - Database, Art - Gallery.... Yes, I think I agree with
you. "Gallery" sounds much friendlier.  :)

Hmm.. they don't bother me at all in Lynx.. =)

What does bother me are all those GeoId cookies they keep giving me.
Lynx asks for confirmation before accepting cookies from a site, and
it ruins my type-ahead. I pay them back by allowing them at random
about 50% of the time. No big deal, but I'm sure my navigation trails
look rather interesting.

Grrrr! I loathe and despise those popups. (They have caused my Netscape
to crash a couple of times.) I have instead opted for the hulking great
ad at the top of each page. (I'm in the process of adding it and have
got to most of the pages now.)

Now if anyone goes to any of my ascii-art pages or animation pages,
there shouldn't be any popups.

Just curious, if the ad is at the top of the page, does GeoCities still
try to send cookies?

I had to break down and do the same thing....I guess Geocities wins!
There is nothing we can do to stop it, so we have to use it or change
servers. LOL, it's not like people depend on our homepages. 4000 hits in
a year is not from one time visits, especially on a poetry page like
mine. That is repeat visitors. So, thanks alot Geocities for taking
feeling and mood away from some great pages out there!

Well, if you don't hear from me in 6 months or so, you'll
know what I'm doing!   LOL!
I think I could be there for a long time if I were to upload
my entire collection!

Well, I'm in the boat too-- I added the bulky header to two of
my pages... I am seriously considering the $5 a month to join
the GEoPlus so that there are no ads...  I think that's what
GeoCities is getting at...  they want all to join...  until I can
justify it, I will leave them on and hope that others will find
that content of my website will take precedence over  the
 rudeness of the pop-up ads.

HAHAHA-- sorry all... I'm not really going to pay $60
a year just to keep those goofy things off my website...
worst scenerio, I'll move my site somewhere else if it
gets too out of hand.

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

Thanks Veronica for the following enlightenment.


You can now go to my homepage this way:

http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/#top

my animation page this way:

http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/animations.htm#top

my ascii-index page this way:

http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/myasciiart.htm#top

(You can still scroll up to see the ads if you want to.)

Just put a <a name="top"> after the geoguide stuff.



NOTE: If you hit the reply button, add an "e" to the "freent";
its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.

be so worth it!!!! *jumping around dancing and happy at how that worked*

Another couple of ways of dealing with GeoCities Ads (if you aren't a
GeoPlus sucker like me) is to minimalize the popup window the 1st time
it comes up.. then it won't bother you anymore. *Or* put the GeoGuide
at the bottom of the page.. it works, they just don't want you to know
that.

Don`t your provider supply you with webspace? If I remember rightly juno
give email accounts don`t they so won`t give web space but ure header says
