How to Find ASCII Art FAQ
=========================
One can easily find ascii art on the net these days. For example, typing
"ascii figlet" and "ascii batman logo" in the Yahoo! search engine gives
you plenty of hits, see the search results below my sig.
Sigs are quite frequently requested here on alt.ascii-art, and an ascii
figlet generator does just that. It automatically generates a sig for
you (free of charge :-))
For example:
* click the link "ASCII-Generator" in the search results
for "ascii figlet"
* type your name in the box that appears on the web page,
say, April Rose, and here is your sig, voila!
You can choose from various fonts, etc, just try it out!

You can also search for ascii art in the alt.ascii-art archives in
http://www.dejanews.com or post a request here on alt.ascii-art. But
generally speaking, you will find what you need a lot faster, if you
search the entire net rather than a single newsgroup. Over and above
that, what you find may be closer to your liking, since what you have
looked at is what the entire world has to offer. Just use your favorite
search engine!
Happy ASCII Art hunting!

I'd rather give people a hint on how to find ascii pics rather than saying here is where you find ascii pics, because the net changes so fast. Just point them in the right direction, and let them proactively help themselves. ================================================================ [] [] [] /( )\ Visit the Gallery of the 'steins!

Also, although it isn`t really what this KindaFAQ is about, I suggest
bunging in http://www.surfplaza.com/figlet/ since that's the one most people
give the URL to when asked and if we put it in every single FAQy document it
might actually entice people to it...

Pete, I think you should reword the title. At the moment it sounds like how
to find the FAQ list for the ASCII Art Newsgroups (to me, anyway.)
