newsy news

what a tremendous response we've received after pack 3 was released not
too long ago. i'd personally like to thank everyone who's supported the
group and to all the people putting in the effort to make this one kick
ass.

also we aren't accepting guest artists from *other* groups. what i mean is
if let's say you are in revival, and you want to do a guest ansi in jasper,
i will not accept it. however, people (just like catch22), who are no
longer in a group anymore, but want to draw one for the sake of it and
release it, can do so right here. thanks to cath22 for the guest.

ansi (all nuns suck it)

you might notice that this pack is dominated by files with the .ans
extension. i guess that you've gathered that we are primarily an ansi group
from now on. sorry to all the ascii artists, you have homes in a dozen
other groups. jasper is now ansi only.

roster changes

well, we haven't had a member leave yet so i suppose thats a good figure.
on the plus side, we've gained a wealth of brand-spanking new members. to
see exactly who they are, you're going to have to feast your eyes on the
memberlisting (JMEMB.NFO) file.

..if you'd wish to apply to the group, contact aesthetic@phatchicks.com

#jasper

we'd all personally like to encourage people entering the chat channel.
here you might find exciting information on the group, be able to request
a peice of art from one of the members, join in a simultaneous ansi-drawing
joint between many people etc.

distribution

you can still find our packs at the following site:

ftp.mimic.ca/public/ascii/jasper

alternatively, contact either of the following distribution boards:

oasis.demonic.net (Oasis BBS, operated by ESC)
blackthursday.net (Black Thursday, operated by Skatter)

if you would like your board to become a distribution site just contact
any of the members with your board's details.
