Woah. I didn't know about that. I found it from asciiart.eu. This stuff makes me wish HN supported ANSI. We could have so much fun. (Also PRE or preformatted text would be useful). Merry Christmas and happy new years everyone!

    But we still miss out on the great ANSI colors. I kinda do want to go back to oldschool bbses, with cool text-mode lightbar interfaces.

Ahhh of course it's a signature. Makes total sense now. I thought it was just a straggler.
