Revival 2 marks the second pack for this amazing new group. Since last
month Revival has grown at a phenomenal rate. We have seen artists return
from the ashes and start drawing again. In total we gained 14 new artists
since Revival 1. Legendary artists such as lord jazz and msd have returned
to their virtual canvases to help the Revival.
New senior members have been named to help out with the monthly chores of
running a large art group. These new senior members were selected based on
their scene experience, and their continued support of Revival.
discyple was chosen because he has been helping with Revival since day 1.
Without him I am not sure Revival would have gained as much momentum as it
has. Discyple has proven to be dedicated to the Ansi Revival and deserves
his promotion to senior member.
magnatop is another truly dedicated Revivalist. He has contributed much to
the group since he joined. Magnatop has helped in recruiting great artists
such as splatt, along with running that sexy bot in revival.
This months pack is truly an accomplishment. Just two months ago you would
never have seen this kind of quality pack released. Revival 2 boasts
500KB+ of art. Try downloading a pack of that size after 1998--you would be
hard pressed to find one, unless its hi-rez of course.
The artists which represent the Ansi Revival are truly talented. Many have
been in the scene for years and have seen the rise/decline of the Ansi
scene. The goal of Revival is to organize those people who wish to bring
the Ansi scene back, and give them a forum to do so. If you, or someone
you know, is interested in joining the Revival, please have them send an
e-mail to skatter@gaschamber.net, or just join revival on EFnet. We are
always accepting new members, the more the merrier.. right? :
Another great addition to the scene Revival has undertaken is the reviving
of the BBS scene. Many people remember the good old days, back when Ansi
artists were plentiful, and the great BBSs were up and running. The BBSs I
remember from these days were TestamenT had an 888 , The Regency ran by
Halaster, Alderaan 888, pOO, and a few other boards that were active.
Slowly, though, these boards died out and none were left. In an attempt to
bring BBSs back to the Ansi scene, Black Thursday was put up as the Revival
WHQ. The BBS has everything you remember about the good old days. From
message bases and custom art, to door games LORD, BRE, Pimp Wars, etc...
A few of our members also run a BBS to aid in this BBS Revival they are
