LOL I have to admit mine is slightly messed up.

You can edit it up to 24 hours… Just use the Preview Post button to see what it will look like…

Forgot about that, now it’s fixed.

Forget What?

What were we talking about??

forgot that you can edit posts. And I don’t have a clue what we’re talking about. someone has to write the next word. Look out for ____!!!

Just a little historical note what we call ASCII art started in the 1800’s as typewriter art.

It has also been done with teleprinters.
A museum I volunteer for has been given a collection of teleprinter art punch tapes. We are currently setting up equipment to print them out. It should be quite interesting.

Early computers ( mainframes etc ) were used to also produce art.

So you can see people have always had to much time on their hands.:slight_smile:

You can also use the [/font] for the end and the [font=“Courier New”] for the beginning to use a fixed-width font. Good alternative to code tags and is easier to immediately see results if WYSIWYG editor is enabled. Look at my signature too! I did that for my sig.

Changed my design to the font tags. The original codetag art only took a few minutes. Signature a few minutes too.

And for us old-timers that remember tractor-feed line printers that printed on continuous fan-fold paper:
I present the unix command “banner”. It still lives on in Mac OS X (and probably lots of Linux distros too)
