    Hi! Can anyone point me to an example (or archive) of really great ascii logos, titles etc? Maybe from old crack/warez teams or just anything thats really next level. Found a few on textfiles but nothing mind blowing.
    Thanks :)

    Cue me spending an unexpected half hour looking at scene ASCII art.

    What got me started on this?... Oh yeah, here are some links: https://16colo.rs/tags/content/newschool%20ascii https://16colo.rs/tags/content/ascii
    http://artscene.textfiles.com/ascii/

    Textfiles link included in case you hadn't found the artscene
    sub-domain. It's easier to find good stuff with the preview images
    on the other site, though.

    Thanks TFS! I take no responsibility for your ASCII art binge lol.
    There's some sweet stuff in those links. Cool to see new stuff. I wish
    some of the old stuff had more info to go with it tho. I did stumble
    across roy<SAC>'s site (http://roysac.com) which has some nice info about artscene history. Pretty interesting to see the style crossover with
    graffiti back in the day. Cyberpunk af.

    And the Cleveland Free-net also did its thing in ASCII in the 80s:
