(tm) BA 93 A n o t h e r D a m n F i n e A N S i (tm) Introduction Recently I returned to the scene after a long leave of absence Most of the people I knew were still active and from what I could gather not much had changed Especially the appearance of boards They were still running generic Forum hacks with little or no ANSies In effect this made BBSes look almost identical For you fast-warez people this would not of been a problem However I have always believed that ANSies give a board individuality and add a certain positive aura Meaning as a user I would infinitely prefer to log onto a colourful BBS than a dull drab looking one (ie virtually every BBS in +61-3 without a logon welcome ANSi screen) Rather than sit on my backside and watch the view I decided that something had to be done A local ANSi group catering for the local scene was required and thus ADFA (pronounced ADD-Fah - with a silent h ) was born Since then I have set about recruiting some local talent and the following is information concerning the group itself What Can ADFA Do For You Well it s obvious isn t it We are here to cater to ANSi requests from SysOps who want to spice up their board a bit There is nothing we will not do but to give you an idea here is a list of some things we can do logon welcome screens BBS menus logoff goodbye screens stats screens utility screens (ie PCE) zip comments How To Order An ADFA Ansi Enclosed is a file called ADFARQST FRM Simply fill out the details in the form and upload paste it as a message at Board Name Disorganised Crime (ADFA WHQ Request Site) Phone Number +61-(0)3 796-9217 or +61-(0)3 796-#### (Note at the time of writing this line is and logon as *not* yet online) Username Request Password Request (Obviously if you already have an account here you can just post the request in the appropriate area ) One may think this is a bit of a hassle But hey if you cannot be bothered spending 5-10 minutes typing then you obviously are not worth our artists time Keep in mind it takes over *two* hours (and usually more) to draw these things Please use this method of requesting rather than posting an artist on your BBS This allows *all* our artists to see the request Thus your commission has a greater chance of being filled quicker Form Of Payment As of this release we are yet to install our Bankcard Visa system (hah) so we will have to rely upon the goodwill of the requestee Something can be negotiated between the requestee and artist but one would assume that a reward of better access file points etc would be sufficient Sample ADFA Work Within this package there will be a few ANSi art pieces by our artists This is just to give you a peek at our capabilities We don t claim to be of ACiD quality but hell we re all you guys got!
