These are absolutely phenominal. I must admit that I am just flabergasted by the talent you have for these things. You have a true gift for these things. :) >For people not familiar with mIRC... (like me) what makes a picture >suitable for use in one? For the most part 6 lines x 50 characters wide, but it really depends on the channel you are talking in and whether the moderators either like or dislike ascii art. There is one channel I talk in that forbids ascii art (or long messages) of any kind and there is another where some of the art is up to 30 or 40 lines in length. I usually use 50 characters for the length since it seems to be the most reasonable for everyone seeing them. Since Pirch and mIRC 4.7 introduced colour into the realm of IRC there has been alot of ascii art floating around. In this case (no pun intended) I wanted the book art for the #Psychic_Readings Channel and for an intro to 'Storytime by TdyBear' :) Thank-you very much. If anyone is into this (ascii-art on IRC) here is the modified script that I'm using for 'Storytime' :-) Hopefully I haven't done too much damage to a beautiful job. I've put it as an attachment since (on my newsreader anyways) it screws everything up with the control characters.
