Hey Guys,

I was just wondering if there where any artists in here that would like to
do some ascii art for my BBS, trying to go for a System/X Ami/X look but
B&W.. if you want to see what I've currently done you can telnet to here:

telnet://lurch.theBBS.org

You'll need a telnet client I recommend mtel or netrunner

Mtel
http://ozone.eesc.com/mtelb11.zip

Netrunner
http://www.mysticbbs.com/nrun0081.zip

Otherwise you'll see garbled nonsense d;)

But tell me what you think.

Don't know what system/x and ami/x are and google isn't helping too
much either.  Got any examples?

I can't even connect so all I am seeing is:
telnet lurch.theBBS.org
Trying 203.96.111.237...

System/X an Ami/X are BBS software, they were setup using ASCii art, I am
mainly after some skull's etc dark arts, gothic style ascii. d:)

Yes the dynamic dns host I am with is having problems and is pointing the
DNS to the wrong IP, just another thing to piss me off today.The wonders of
the internet d:)

Will be on their backs today about it so hopefully will be back to normal.
Will be setting up a backup DNS aswell so people can still get on in the
meantime, but this is a right royal pain as I have to advertise and change
the BBS listings so people are aware of the second DNS, ah well not your
problem so wont ramble on any further d:)

Here's what I got, before the session froze up.  I don't know what
this menu is supposed to be, but the antler-things around the outside
are nice.

                       |    |       |    |
                        \   |       |   /
                         --._U-._.-U_.-- :F_P:

                             V     V


Just keep the sigs in there and you can use them for your BBS.
