GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING E-CARD TO VotreZone
I have been interested in ASCII Art for a long time. Fisrt through the BBS, and then since 1995 through the internet.
So, this site is dedicated to all of you ASCII artist that have come and gone through the years. Your art is still floating around somewhere in the cyberspace. :)
With the advent of the Graphics Environment, some says this art (and they do not called it Art) is gone, and will disappear from our eyes. In a certain way, so will we all. :)
In the wait of disappearing,
LET'S HAVE FUN AND LIVE.
This site is dedicated to you, ASCII ARTIST !
THE ASCII E-CARD is been built to take advantge of many languages. It is first being built in French and English.
If you wish, you can translate it in your own language, first send me a note.
Here are the Guidelines :
For the ADS
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

| The typical ad will be 9 lines by 75 characters long |
| including the border. |

Technically, there is no limit on the number of lines. I will only accept Ad with more lines if the design is worth it. It would be better to limit yourself to the typical Ads.
