MikeChat: Where is ASCII on IRC?

· 11 messages · 21 Oct 2001 - 31 Oct 2001
Looks like you are the one to ask Mike. Where are they posting ascii
art (coloured or otherwise) on IRC these days? I went to a channel
ages ago and had a nice time. Even saw what some of them had done with
ascii I made. Anyway, I have looked on IRC but not found any this
time.
Mike or anyone have a list?

Well you go "CHECK THIS ASCII OUT" and hopefully everyone will shut up until it is done =) I'd imagine the room wouldn't be continuous ascii.

They were using a specialized script or software. I downloaded it at the time but its ages ago. I don't remember the software though I think it started with a K.
