Update: Nop has recreated the new sticky. Thanks Nop

(Previous first post now on the second post)

Nop Rs said :
So the general consensus seems that a merge is not the right course of action?

It's also true that Long has a post on the first page with a few links.

So now the two questions are:

1. Do we want a new BD#

2. If we want a new BD#, what would we want changed?
———> Bulletin Board type thing (news about the community/thread links/etc)
———> How long should the guide be? Shorter? Longer? The same?
——————> Perhaps a one post "crash course", followed by something more in depth?
———> Icey's idea of a history of ASCII. I've always liked this idea, but I'm not so sure it has a place on the BD#.(r)
------> Logo request form? - now that the clan logos thread is no longer existant

Thoughts?

Please see post above as conversation has shifted to that

Hello everyone!

After speaking with a number of people including the Forum Moderation team I've brought up the idea of regenerating the stickied ASCII guides with the potential to combine them into one big resource. After the sudden influx in activity within the ASCII community what better way to further take us forward by initiating a community project to bring ourselves forward than to provide potential newer players with an updated resource to get them into ASCII artwork?

There's no doubt that ASCII has always been a part of the RuneScape Official Forums. I want to reach out to the rest of you, far and wide, to generate ideas and offer guideance and support for this new project. The idea is to combine the Bored? Draw #ere thread and the ~ Guide to Signature Making ~ thread. Signatures are a niche of ASCII artwork. This is the perfect opportunity for us all to be able to put our heads together to come up with a brand new thread.

So far the general idea for a revitalised thread would be to format it in a way such as:
Page 1: General information useful in both large pieces of artwork and signatures, such as introductions to formatting tools and BBCodes, as well as the forum censor.
Page 2: Guide to ASCII artwork.
Page 3: Guide to Signatures
Page 4: Colour chart in colour order, to make it easier to find similar colours.

Of course the above is just a general idea. I hope that we can get as many of you will get involved in this project as we can get! Post away with your ideas:
- What is vital to include?
- How should we present it?

Please bear in mind that we don't have to reinvent the wheel, and we can use existing resources for the majority of this project (take the signature guide for example). Any additions or subtractions though, let's discuss!
