STRONG KEEP - I believed it to be a bad joke by somebody. FYI, there was a time before the internet and before Windows 95 and up. People used Modems not to call an ISP to connect to a NET, but somebody elses Computer that was in most cases a private computer up for 24 hours on a designated telefon line just for the computer. That person had a software running called BBS Software that accepted incoming phone calls and provided features like Messaging (just like Email) and Upload and Download of files. Those "things" were called BBS which stands for Bulletin Board System and the PC Versions usually operated under MS DOS which was Text Based and fairly uggly. Thanks to ANSI and ANSI art and ASCII art got BBS's a much better look and touch of individuality. The Guys that did those weird type of Art (in the opinion of some folks of the after-MS DOS -> Windoof Generation) usually formed Art Groups (like the Guys that did Demos (Demo scene) and the ones that removed copy protections from games and applications (Warez scene) later the guys that ripped MP3's and Movies, something everybody should be familar with, because they are still around. Btw. ASCII and ANSI Art is also still around. There are a lot of folks out there that have vivid memories about ANSI and ASCII art, but might not remember the groups and artists that made them, but there are also still a lot of guys out there that remember very well and appreciate the fact that Information can be found about it and that it is not all forgotten. --roy<sac> ^Talk! .oOo. 05:53, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

additional comment: the CEO of deviantART also things that Groups like SAC and and ACiD and Remorse are very much notable, but he only runs the foremost artist community on the Web, nothing notable --roy<sac> ^Talk! .oOo. 07:05, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
