 hello, and welcome to the  last ecolove package.  because all good things must  come to an end,  we decided to kill the group.  releasing every 3 months isn't
 the  way of  working for  a lowres group.  i guess we're all  ready for  a new  challenge,  and the  new challenge can  be seen in  many different ways.  some  people will continue drawing ansi, while others start off with a hirez career.

 we  couldn't release  the last pack without  the help of some  formal members,  who started up  aciddraw again for the  last time to submit  some art for this
 pack. the guys i was talking about are known as cleaner and delusion.  we have
 some guest work too again, by people who were in the mood of drawing. 
 props to: somberlain, gec, silence and last but not least spear.

 it seems  not to important to tell you all what  happened with the member list
 the last few months. but anyways, i'll do that :) the avenger and prophet quit
 the group  after pack 16.  we gained one new member called poseidon joined the
 team.  i feel sorry for you  that you came up  with the idea of drawing ansi a
 little bit too late for drawing within ecolove. i hope you'll keep on drawing.


 next  up there are some  impressions from  snowball and commissaris plons, who
 were a part of the group:

With tears in my eyes.. i'm gonna write my last 2 wordz:

snowball out 

           
a few lines by commissaris plons:



well, as some of you know, I've been
an ecolove-member for quite some time
now, but most of you don't really know
me because I am too lazy to connect my
ÜÜÜÜÛÜÜÜ modem. To give you all an idea of who 
ÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜÜi am, I would like to describe myself
Þ±²²ÛÛÛÛÛ²²ÛÛÛÝÝin a little ansi-thing...
 ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ²±°
ÜÜ Ü ÜÜÜ  ÜÜ
ÞÜ ßßß ß°ßÛ²ß ÜÝÝi was born and raised in roosendaal.
°ßÛÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛßßaugust 4th 1979 i saw the first light
ßßßßÛÛÛÛßßßof day, and what a wonderfull day it was.
ÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÜÜÜabout 17/18 years later i drew my first
ÜßÛÛÛÛÛ°±ÛßÜÛÛÛÜansi, and again this was a wonderful day.
Þ²±° ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜßÜÛÛÝ    the day president and snowball asked me
ÝÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÝÞÝÛÛto join ecolove was near, and i really 
ÞÛßÜßÛÛÛÛßÜ°ßÜßÛÛÝenjoyed being in this group.
ßßÜ°ÛÛÛßßÜÜßÜÛ°°a few years ( and astounding packs )
ÜÛÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ²Û Ýßlater ecolove decided to quit, and i was
ÞÛܲÝßßÛßÛ²±ÝÝshocked. this last pack will be a special
ÛÞ²°²ÜÛÜÞÞÛ²ÛÜÜone, not only with some real nice ansi's,
ÞÛß±ßß Ü ßßßßßßÝbut also with some stats of ecl-members.
ßßßÜÜßÞÛßÜÜÜÜÜÜßso check it out...
   Üܲ²ÛÛÛß ßßß²²ÛÛß
            much respect to all ecl-members and all the
others who keep the ansi-scene alive...
   
and to everybody:
a happy 2000 !!!
CPl.



 now we'll continue  with some words from people who never were in ecolove, but
 had  everything to do  with the ansi  scene in general.  props to you guys for
 handing this in.


 heya, 
 too bad ecolove decided to quit. i always admired all the ansi-creators
 and especially the now-a-days drawers. now that all the bbs systems
 are dead and most of the ansi scene disappeared. it is real hard to be
 motivated in these days with all the internet vga junk :) therefore i have
 big respect for the fact that ecolove kept on releasing new packs! 
 respect! and happy 2000 guys!

 Ecolove.  -THE- european group of the past few years.  one day back when I was  running the  (now defunct)  cia ansi  division,  i was  getting  desperate for  members,  so i mass leeched  the entire 1997 (or 1998, I can't remember) packs  directory  from cdrom.com and  looked at  each and every  single pack i got. i  came across circe,  a group  Arlequin runs  but has his heart  into so much he  just can't kill it (although he needs to so he can join epic). i was impressed  by the work of a few members  whom I'd never heard of  (arlequin and darkman),  but the rest didn't impress me much. what a shameless epic plug. :)

 then i came across ecolove.  youch. an entire group of guys me, and most north
 americans  had NEVER heard of.  being the big  cheese of a  group like  CIA, i  figured  I could just  assimilate  them all into  the group,  so i  approached  The Avenger about a merge.  they all talked about it.. and really got my hopes  up ONLY TO SAY  -NO-  DESTROYING ALL PLANS I  HAD FOR CIA'S SCENE DOMINANCE ..
 I'LL NEVER FORGI.. eek.  I gotta stop  thinking  out loud.  but CIA went on to
 to prosper under me anyways. :)

 i respected their decision. they were thrilled to finally get some recognition
 by someone who mattered  (*cough* ego trip) , but still,  they refused to join  the darkside. ecolove had true group spirit, which still lives strong in their
 current resident president.. President, and his sidekick Snowball.

 so  where am i  going with  this history lesson.  i have no clue.  i think the  moral  of the story i'm getting at,  is that it's a shame  to see a group that  had  such group  pride and  unity  fade away into  the histories of  cdrom.com  without ever getting the respect they deserve. let's all *sniff* take a moment
 to *sniff* download their art *sniff* from the cdrom.com archive.

 savage cow (epic ansi)



 butterbrain introduced me to the artscene  about 1 year ago.  he told me about
 avenge cult  and ecolove:  his buddy inclusive  was member  of those 2.  after  dialing  president's bbs hundreds of times ;)  I got passioned  about ansi and  started to  download packs.  because i'm dutch,  and ecolove  is also dutch, i  followed them with more interest than the others. after we founded kibosh art,
 and i started to draw, i got more and more admiration for the 1st class art of
 especially president and snowball, the 2 best Dutch ansidoodlers, imho.
 it's too bad they died... even in real life those guys were cool :) ...

 thanx again for handing this in bro's ... i know this is nostalgia, but i like
 it :)  i want to thank all the people who had something  to do with the group.
 there are a  lot of those guys,  so i won't name anyone i person. you know who
 you are.

 signing off, president
