Mistigram: this elegant and simple #ASCIIart #butterfly scene was created by littlebitspace and included in the MIST1120 artpack collection released two years ago this month.

Mistigram: this free and easy #ANSIart logo for Javist's "Tantalized Dreams" (tdr) BBS was drawn by Quip and included in our third anniversary artpack collection released a quarter-century ago.

Mistigram: this #BBCMicro hirez graphics screen by Blippypixel is titled "Wilderness", which may characterise the rolling hills below but really omits the cosmic wildness wheeling overhead. It was included in the MIST1120 artpack collection released two years ago this month.

If you prefer, the Monsters! Textmode Friends ANSI art jam from the recent spooky MIST1022 artpack collection can be experienced side-scrolling at full height in this video clip. (Again, this batch of Textmode Friends -- the creators of the art included here -- are Rhoq7, Adel Faure, Batfeula, Polyducks and LDA.)

For our new social media toeholds, our recent sharing of the closing screens of our recent mega-wide #ANSIart scroller will necessarily be less impactful without the context of all the pieces that came before it . So here they are at a glance, presented as a big square! Art by the #Textmode Friends, who this time around are Rhoq7, Adel Faure, Batfeula, Polyducks and LDA.

@AlbertCashiersCousin Our old website is full of what is now considered sensitive information -- personal e-mail addresses and private phone numbers -- which would be privacy concerns now if anyone was still using the same addresses and numbers a quarter-century later. Fortunately, that's not the case! (But maybe the current holders of those numbers bitterly curse our name 8)

@AlbertCashiersCousin Looks like we were part of the virtual Athens neighbourhood, no idea why. Here's our '90s Geocities homepage, pulled from the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20011213101535/http://www.geocities.com:80/Athens/1758/mist.html

Our current minimalist homepage at mistigris.org is positively sophisticated by comparison!

Mistigram: congratulations everyone, we reached the end of last month's monstrous Textmode Friends #ANSIart jam, ever scrolling further to the right until everyone ran out of time to add any more. This Rather Conclusive Celtic knotwork-inspired illuminated dragon (and an entire patch of radical ASCII jack 'o lanterns) were drawn by Adel Faure and Textmode Friend chief instigator Polyducks. This piece was included in the spooky MIST1022 artpack collection.

Mostly we organize through our Discord (invite at https://discord.com/invite/9R84QUN ) but are always happy to represent wherever the creative techy folks are to be found!

#introduction Greetings from Mist! We started releasing artpacks in the #BBS PC underground in '94, full of #ANSIart, #ASCIIart, #MODmusic etc., probing the early Internet (1st homepage on Geocities, many hours spent on IRC) but drying up by the turn of the century in the BBS/CLI to Web/GUI transition... stewing in nostalgia until a reunion for our 20th in 2014 ... we got back releasing artpacks again -- now w/ vintage #textmode art fellow traveler forms such as #PETSCII, #ShiftJIS & #teletext!
