The past two packs have been amazing, not only has Revival gained enormous support, but the Ansi scene in general has had major life breathed back into it. Before I get started I want to personally thank everyone who has contr- buted in the recent months, both in Revival and other groups. Everyone's help is needed to increase productivity and bring artists back to the scene. Now, let's delve into this month's news... The pack this month is another astounding one, the quality and size is almost unbelievable as I'm sure you'll agree. The group's size and drive has grown dramatically in the last month and I foresee many more packs to come. This month's pack boasts over 700KB worth of art, even larger than last month. If you're interested in joining please see the bottom of the newsletter.  new members .. Revival has grown to be the leading group in today's scene.

Davek is releasing a pack within Revival #3, the filename is anal-01.zip, check it out and send comments to davek!  ansi showdowns .. Ansi showdowns is an exciting new competition created by lazthaus (ld!), and myself, with additional help from discyple. There is a very detailed explanation of what exactly these "showdowns" are, and how you can partic- ipate, in SHOWDOWN.ANS. To give a very brief overview, the Ansi showdowns are basically a competition between rival groups, Revival vs Jasper for example. Two artists, one from each group, come together and challenge eachother to a showdown. The showdown is voted upon by everyone in the scene (on blackthursday.net), and scores are kept. It was created to liven up the scene and challenge artists to better their current skill. For more information please review SHOWDOWN.ANS.  btdraw .. BTdraw is an online BBS ansi editor being written for Mystic BBS. The idea is to provide a system for very casual ansi joints, where one can add as little or as much as they'd like to a given canvas. Also the stage will be set for more organized joints, with canvases being both privately and publically accessible. Hopefully this will also open up some of the non-artscene BBS population to ansi/ascii art... Stay tuned for future updates, and check for updates on Black Thursday.  member news additions .. I would first like to say how happy and proud I am with the progress of   Revival it's only the 3rd pack and it seems like we came so far so fast. The group is working together as a team, and as a team we are putting out major quality work. The channel #revival is picking up very well, and so are the bbs's that support Revival. I would like to take the time to thank sinisterX for the pic he did fo me, MagnatOp for the logo's, and ld! for the peices he did for me. "its coming man, it's coming" in conclusion i'm very happy to be a member of the group and to have made it this far to the 2k2 era. peace out! sociopath pimpdaddy with the gansta limp!  bbs update .. As stated in the last newsletter, Revival is dedicated to all facets of the scene; this includes the BBS scene. Ansi has many deep roots in the BBS scene and without it there may have never BEEN an Ansi scene. For these reasons Revival endorses all members who run boards, and has put many hours into making our WHQ the best it can possibly be. For this month's Revival BBS List please look below ..
