here's an ASCII (character based) pic of lenin--I can't quite get this to work in BBCode, so I'm posting the html for it and then a snapshot of what that looks like. If anyone can get it in bbcode, it'd be great.

the "<" and ">" are the codes for "<" and ">" respectively, by the way.

Is this possible in bbcode on this forum?!?

impressive. How long did it take to do that?

hehe.. about 3 minutes.. it included resizing and cropping an image and uplpoading it here:

typorganism's asciimatic (http://www.typorganism.com/asciiomatic/index.html)

Not so impressive anymore, is it? :P There's also a GIMP plugin that does it for any size file, but I lost it a while ago and haven't bothered finding it again. It'd be great to do that in BBCode, though.. it'd make for an interesting sig.

People should do some other images they have and post them here.

ASCII art requires a monospace font, that is, a font which takes up the same amount of space no matter wha the characters are. All the fonts listed in the box are NOT monospace fonts. However, you could try manually inserting a tag like FONT=Mono (surrounded by [ ] ) and ending with /FONT (surrounded by [ ] ) which hopefully would translate to equivalent HTML for the font tag. Let me try.

EDIT: Tried it, doesn't work.
