The
Ascii Scene!
The Ascii Scene is an old scene, which dates back
to the 80's. In the early years, people used Ascii
to make nfo's, diz'es and artwork for the BBSes. As
time went by, the Internet came and took over. But
Ascii is still beeing used all over the place. People
still run BBSes, but they have moved on to be Telnetable.
FTP sites also uses ascii, maybe in form of a login
ascii, the same with shells as a motd. Ascii is also
today used in the making of nfo files for scene groups
and for the legendary file_id.diz file which still
exists in scene releases.
Ascii
is also used in MiRC scripts and on web pages.
The Scene
we are covering is the underground ascii scene. This
scene contains of the Pc Scene and the Amiga Scene.
The Pc Scene releases ascii pack by artgroups and
the amiga scene mostly releases ascii collies (a text
file with a bunch of ascii logos).
