  What we Are:

       ACiD is a new ANSi artists group. For a long time, there
  have been various groups that have specialized in ANSi art. But
  now, the best artists from these groups have come together to
  form the ultimate ANSi artists group - the "ANSi elite" if you
  will. These guys from around the world are here for a few basic
  reasons. More about this later.

  Where we came from:

       Many of you have heard of an old group called A.A.A. In
  fact, many of you have probably seen some of their work. With the
  exception of some PD chick named Ebony Eyes, A.A.A. has produced
  the most incredible ansis ever seen to the ANSi emulated eye. Led
  by such awesome artists as RaD Man, Chips Ahoy, The Beholder,
  Icepirate, Grimm, and Shadow Demon, A.A.A. proved to the world
  that they could make ansis. And we have included a few of these
  ansis in here to demonstrate the quality of time and effort put
  into every ANSi by every member of A.A.A. Regardless, ACiD
  directly descended from A.A.A. Due to some internal turmoil and
  flack by some previous A.A.A. SysOps, the group has retained
  many of its members and is now re-assembled flying under the
  ACiD banner.

  What we do:

       ACiD is plain and simple an ANSI artists group. We don't
  claim to ever release any games, or other such nonsense, that is
  reserved for groups such as INC. What we are here to do is make
  ANSi's. One of our artists will create several different kinds of
  ANSi's for your pleasure, or for the pleasure of your users. The
  types of ANSis that we will create are:

         1) BBS Advertisements
                   -By FAR the most popular. Our artists get TONS
                    of requests for these. Please continue reading
                    to find out how you can get one made for you!
          2) BBS Logon Screens
                   -This includes welcome ANSi's and Matrix ANSi's
          3) General BBS ANSi's
                   -Most MS*DOS based BBS's basically live and die
                    with their ANSi's and there are many different
                    kinds required. 


       There are also other kinds of ANSi's that people request.
  All of these requests will be considered.

  How to ask for YOUR ANSi:

       ACiD members are sick of getting email about how some dude
  wants an ANSi made for his BBS, etc.. If you want an ANSi made
  from the world's finest ANSi artists, then there are quite a few
  places to ask:

       1) Any ACiD BBS, [IN THE ACID ANSI REQUEST MESSAGE SUB!].

               a) 911 is a JoKE
               b) X-T-C Systems

       2) Any Celerity BBS which carries the ACiDNET Message Sub.

       What you need to do is post what the name of the board is,
  what your ANSi request is, and any pertinent information that you
  would think your ANSi artist is. Please specify which artist you
  would like your ANSi made by. Every effort to make the best ANSi
  for you will be made.

  Payment:   

      Payment will be accepted with VISA/MASTERCARD/AMERICAN
   EXPRESS. 

      - No just kidding, ACiD ANSi's are free. It might help if
   you were to give your artist a couple extra file point's though.


       ACiD artists do this out of the kindness of their hearts and
  there will be no complaints tolerated. There is no limit to each
  person but if you ask too much, or if you don't ask in the proper
  area, YOU WILL BE REFUSED. So handle things by the rules, and you
  should get a beautiful full color ANSi within a week or two.
