@ #13 It’s not a question as to if I personally object to the content. However, John has on multiple occasions on TWIT and a few weeks ago on Cranky Geeks expressed his bewilderment at why some webfilters block DU under the “sex” category, stating “we have no nudity or sexual content. Yet at least 3-4 of the posts over the past few days would potentially create HR issues in many corporate American environments.

I’m just sayin’, that’s all.

Yes the “photo realistic” have to be generated. When I was in high school (1988) I had a collection of Playboy centerfolds in ASCII for the Apple 2e. Not much to look at now, but it was able to give teen age nerds at the time a stiffie. Now I kind of wish I had saved them.

Perhaps you missed the name above… Dvorak Uncensored. Move to U.A.E. if you don’t like the content.

I’ve heard John comment several times on his shock that some web censors filter out his site. This is why, John- this is why…

the shitty ones are done by hand.. the good ones are generated

Reverse that, and its true. I’ve never seen a generated one that didn’t suck.

#6 – Wow. Not hard to figure out that these guys don’t get laid.

James, you having sex with your sister doesn’t count as getting laid…

So you’re saying you didn’t get laid back in the day, or just in general?

What made Teletype art so cool (I’m talking about the old style baudot TTY’s, not the newer ASCII machines) was the ability to overprint. Because linefeeds weren’t automatically generated with every carriage return, a line could be overprinted as many times as necessary to get the required shading. As I recall you could still to TTY art on the ASR33’s which were ASCII machines but the overprinting was either not possible or not as easy to achieve.
