heh, yeah, i shoulda just merged the moment i noticed.

anyhoo, i'm posting this, in "release early, release often" model, more out of a need to calm the heck down!   i'll be hitting burn-out in a week at this rate.

so... here's one of the computer generated ones (i think i used just gimp and aview for it ~ yes, gimp can save ascii),
and the manually made one i was working on.   ~ it certainly could use a lot of refinement yet, but it's already a lot better than anything i've gotten out of attempts at automatic generation from images.

(the gimp saved one seems to have a few characters hastebin doesnt like, so the "VSIDO" has gone a bit italic.  ~ not that it was all that legible in the first place)

I would like VSIDO to succeed on it's own merit... Not by any of us driving people to a banner plagued site that is casino like rigged, you know where the house always wins....

Good points ectropy

fair comments, however...

why was that posted in this thread?

fair enough if responding to some off the cuff offtopic comment that was actually made in this thread...  but since it's not, i suggest taking another look at: http://vsido.org/index.php/topic,546.msg6420.html#msg6420


[edit](oh wait, my bad... distrowatch comment was in here... string search fail.   lol, thought that was a misplaced rant outta the blue)[/edit]



p.s.
to me, popularity (or even a promoted perception of popularity), is not synonymous with success. 
value of the thing in its own right.

This IS a thread about ANSI/ASCII, and NOT about Distrowatch.


Back on topic, or... go somewhere else with your outburst about how great this and that is !
