Not including ads, the page is 1.1 MB w/ 800KB of chart images and 100KB of css that was mistakenly included (whoops).

We did discuss just publishing a .txt or .nfo file instead, but some of the charts required a bit of ASCII cheating and being able to adjust font size & weight of labels really made them a lot more readable.

There are still BBS's around. You just need to look. There are some BBS art on sixteencolors and some of the art packs have addresses for some BBS systems.

That is because the site loads all 50 articles and their 61 images at once.
