Hey man, remove something from the text above, like a zero or two, eh?

And while we're at fake commercials, you should know the facts:

How did you get the knowledge of being the largest ascii art site?
Is it self-proclaimed?
You shouldn't burst out with phony facts just to bring visitors to your
site, which in fact was kinda good.

And one more thing, you should _always_ post the exact URL to
your ascii collection, not to your opening page.

The URL for your page would then be
http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Marina/4942/ascii.htm

It isn't? It was when I visited him.
Just look there, yes right in the middle of all the gif animations
and stuff:
[] The great ASCII collection []
(I think)

Now do you see why gif-anis suck?

Yes, there is, and great one too!



BTW. All my Wicked Ascii Art troubles are over.
I renamed all the file-extensions to *.txt instead of *.asc
And now everyone should be happy!

Could this be a problem with Joan not being able to see frames? (because
I found plenty of ascii there....)

I'll go back and look again... when I did look, I saw that the ASCIIs had
been
moved to another server and were not available at the moment...
I'll let you all know... I like to see more ASCII art on the internet!  I
also like
to see more people making it too!

I beg forgiveness... I visited the site again and found LOTS of ASCII
art!!
It is well-organized and nicely displayed.  I tried to go directly to the
ASCII page
and was not able to view the frames.  But when I went through the index
page
I was able to see them... go figure!  I'm no technical guru so I have no
idea as 
to why that happened... it even happened a couple times!
It is a nice site... I'm not sure if it is the "largest"- but it certainly
is NOT the
smallest.  It's worth bookmarking!

Actually, at the last _rough_ count, it came to about 8,000 pics, (I
have a lot of spare time).  So I round up a little! :)

Secondly, 'tis true my 'largest' title is self-proclaimed, and if you do
hold that
recognition, my apologies.  I should say that I never even meant to say
that I was the
largest :), I was going to put something different as the subject, but
as I was pressed
for time, my mental deliberation was else where.

Again I apologise.  I was unaware of this li'l quark ;}.
But in that case the _actual_ URl is
http://www.home.aone.net.au/kangaroo/ascii.htm

Since I have so much bloody ascii art, I haven't found one server that
can give me enough space... (I'm a cheapscate who looks for free
homepage sites :) as is I still have a few megs on my computer waiting
to be uploaded... my site will end up being split over 5 servers right
across the world :)

If your site is the largest it probably means it will be hard to spot the
good pictures. So check out mine :)

As long as these sites exist, ascii artists and users ought to be happy.
Superlatives as 'largest', and 'best' are fleeting.  Look at Scarecrow's
ASCII art website as an example.

MY largest ascii site (which is also my smallest, since I only have one)
can be found here:

http://www.ludd.luth.se/users/vk/pics/ascii/ASCII.HTML

I also keep some files on the net for llizard (but I don't know if this
is llizard's biggest ascii site since I suspect there may be something
interesting coming from that direction very soon...) here:
