- Mimic - From wikipedia: “Mimic ASCII is an ASCII art group co-founded in the year 1998 by three artists known by the pseudonyms Serial Toon, Konami and Black Jack. Second to Remorse, Mimic is the longest running group still active, and currently holds the record for the most monthly releases of ASCII artpacks ever (81 consecutive monthly artpack releases as of March 2005). Their group mascot is the crab.”
- iCE Advertisements - From wikipedia: “During the wholesale transition between BBS to internet, interest in iCE began to wane somewhat during the late 1990s. This was quickly reversed after the introduction of their well received Tiles (http://tiles.ice.org) collaborative art project in December of 2000. Today, iCE has branched out into collaborative art, photography and digital art with members worldwide. Although iCE has continued to release monthly galleries of art to this day (as of 2005), they abandoned the traditional “artpack” format after the release of their July 2002 artpack (dated August 6, 2002) in favor of an online presentation via their website. On occassion, however, iCE continues to include ANSI artwork as part of their monthly showcase of new art.”
