A group for fans, collectors, and creators of ASCII art.

ASCII art is a graphic design technique that uses computers for presentation and consists of pictures pieced together from the 95 printable (from a total of 128) characters defined by the ASCII Standard from 1963 and ASCII compliant character sets with proprietary extended characters (beyond the 128 characters of standard 7-bit ASCII). The term is also loosely used to refer to text-based visual art in general. ASCII art can be created with any text editor, and is often used with free-form languages. Most examples of ASCII art require a fixed-width font (non-proportional fonts, as on a traditional typewriter) such as Courier for presentation.

Made this many years ago in the usenet days. It took a little work to figure out how to get the words to pop cleanly.

I can usually do these no problem but this one was a real struggle (on Mobile). If you're having issues:

I had to hold the phone much further away than I thought.
Hold your phone so that your fingers aren't on the left and right sides of the image (ie hold it by the bottom)

Yeah doing this one on Mobile is a pain. to help people out I put guide marks on to help. Cross the eyes until you have three Xs perfectly parallel with the more solid one in the middle.

This was typed up before mobile devices were a thing so it was built for a 15+ inch screen.
