The ASCII art I best remember was in Usenet signatures.

Elaborately done, usually to represent their username and HUGE.

I would snip conversations where appropriate but never an ASCII sig. They were just too good.




There’s an online museum of signatures collected from the Polish Usenet here: https://hell.pl/nina/newssigs/newssigs.htm


alt.ascii-art it's still alive.

Also, gopher://ascii.mozz.us:7070/1/ has some links to art.
