Congratulations and welcome to sysophood. I only launched my very own
bbs last October and love it.

I'm creative enough to make something ugly. And, if you don't mind some
unsolicited advice, start slowly.

While I still haven't created any ANSI art for my own bbs, I have
created ASCII art. I started with figlet, playing with various fonts,
and going from there.

I have a feeling my move to using ANSI will eventually replace my
ascii. For now, though, it's perfectly suitable as it is so I may not.

I also take old ansi art and play with it locally. Nothing I've done
would ever be suitable on a bbs.

I just wish it were easier to render CP437 on a linux terminal.
