Hey Saph!


I don't mean to be a downer, but I've probably been part of at least a dozen resurrection attempts over the past five years. They all fizzle after a month or two because of a tiny lapse in concentration. You can spend two months trying to rebuild, make progress, then go on vacation for ten days and have it all go back to square one.

Nevertheless, I'll always be here and be up for helping where I can.

Yeah, unfortunately the ASCII inactivity is very much linked to the inactivity on forums. :/

Even if say, only us three, were to try attempt to get things started, perhaps we could get new artists in who'll find it more interesting and get hooked onto it just like we did when we started out.

Nop, I think you have a good point, but perhaps we should have a plan of action. For instance, there isn't much use having a school if no one is interested in learning. So spreading awareness is a must.

Signatures are luckily still fairly popular from what I've seen, so I think we should try focus there. However, I haven't seen any logos for ages, and that's mainly due to the decline of clans on forums. What we could also do is offer up our services to popular threads without waiting for them to come to us. For instance, messaging the thread owners in game and offering to make a logo. In return, they could post a QFC on their thread to a signature-making thread. Hopefully, this will create an association of successful threads and ASCII and perhaps potential thread owners will want some themselves.

What I am enjoying is seeing JMods becoming more involved with the community on the forums. Perhaps we could try post art relating to their thread topics on their threads. I'm actually going to create a Christmas Tree drawing and post it on Mod Kalaya's Christmas Chat Lounge. Wish me luck on the outcome

I somewhat like the idea of ascii spam on rants I remember someone turned my dinosaur into something that was briefly known as the spams*urus. Perhaps we could utilize generic memes that are often used as responses (such as impossibru or that 'you don't say' meme of Cage).

I also liked the art competition threads. Those were a really good idea and if only Forum Games were more popular, I'm so it would hold a lot of success.

What is he planning on doing? Is it the sort of thing where we could coordinate our efforts somehow?


^ Nice Christmas tree Saph! You've still got it

Had to cut it short unfortunately due to character limit

Hmm, I think you have a good idea there with the prize. What sort of prize may have to be discussed though, such as whether it is money or just something on the forums. I know in the past we always refused payment for creating logos as it was considered a form of real world trading. However, if it is a competition, we're not really trading, are we? We're merely congratulating someone. Although we'll probably have to double check on whether that would be allowed. But it does definitely make it more exciting.
