Significant Downtime

Wed, 06 May 2009 15:44:02 +0000

The site has had significant downtime for, well, over a month now. I have no idea what’s going on. I believe I have at least gotten the server to reset itself when there is a problem, which is better than it has been. However, I still don’t know what’s going on. If there are any [...]

Sixteen Colors Forum

I have planned for quite a long time to add an intricate commenting system to the site. Clearly, that has not happened. I have finally broken down and put up a simple forum. Please, jump in, start talking, and we’ll keep the community alive and hopefully increase interest in the ANSI medium.

Celebrating a Legendary Group

I got a note from The Night Angel this week. I will let his words do the talking. February 9th, 2009 will mark the ten year anniversary of the death of AWE Lettering. To celebrate, I would like to release a new pack, AWE-22. Our mission back in those days was to promote the creation of [...]

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 22:14:03 +0000

I am ready to get back into development of the site, and in the process a big question is brewing in my mind. Do I continue development as is, or do I make a change to allow for more collaboration? I am currently developing the site in the .NET Framework using Microsoft SQL Server. This [...]

Blocktronics

It seems that no matter how far we drift from the days of the Bulletin Board System, ANSI continues to live on. Proof of this is evident in the creation of a new group, Blocktronics, that is attempting to use modern tools to redefine how ANSI is created and released. The original concept was to create [...]

48 Packs Recovered

Thu, 07 Feb 2008 00:46:26 +0000

When I originally imported all of the packs I have on disk several failed to import. Most of this were due to the fact that the packs used a zip compression method called Decode64. I am pleased to announce that with the aid of Cake3 I have been able to unpack those missing packs. The [...]

Retribution is determined to continue to live the dream. Rather than try to restate what he has to say, take a look at his announcement.
