You're looking at the last static copy (1999) of Acheron.org, more recent but partial copies exist in the wayback machine. This site is online out of nostalgia and because of it's historic content, an up to date ANSI/ASCII art archive is available from 16colo.rs

ANC: !ARTPACKS IN #ANS (silent facade)
Hey there, Silentf here, just letting you know that i've got my fserve set up again,
containing just about all the artpacks around. To access it, type !artpacks in #ans (as long as Artpacks is in the channel) .. there's no ratio or anything, so leech away.

For the time being, it contains mostly just ansi, but I'll be doing what I can to get some more ascii content on their.. as well, there's no uploading, because it'd be way to hard to try and organize (its just ircN's fserve), but i'm usually on the ball with the latest packs/emags anyway, so it should be much of a problem..

Remember, thats !artpacks in #ans..

13 March
ANC: BEAM IS DEAD (shine)
As you may have noticed already, black maiden's beam-emag is dead. to find out the reasons and what will come next, get beam #3. should be on artpacks somewhere. or ask me on irc (efnet: #ans, shine|bm)... that's all folks.

ANC: NEW ANSI/ASCII GROUP (dangermouse)

RELEASE: ICE PRODUCTIONS 9902 (mass delusion)
Been a little slow this month, and just getting around to updating acheron.org with the links to the iCE Pack. 9 days of total server downtime this month definitely hurt, but we have installed a complete mirror to our machine, so we'll have no more problems of this type. Redundant machine and on totally different networks - fail-over mirroring basically.

Watch out for an iCE V2 release in the next few weeks, things are wrapping up, and read the info file, because I wrote it. And I'm funny. Like ha-ha funny, not funny like a clown.
