In this thread you post Ascii Art while testing it to make sure things line up correctly, so that you can post it correctly in the thread you want without making that particular thread suck.
★ Always sage when posting!
☆ You can post as many times as you need/want to, don't be shy!
★ Asking for Ascii Art help in this thread is A-OKAY ＼（´ｰ｀）ノ
☆ This thread will be purged of all practice-posts every few days. Discussion posts such as asking for help will NOT be deleted as they could be used as refererence for others.
★ The fun with Ascii Art is to experiment! Similar to a photoshop thread on an imageboard, a fun pastime when playing with AA is to take someone's already-existing AA and edit it! You can use this thread for those purposes as well.
☆ If you're out of AA ideas, browse 2ch for a bit -- you're bound to find something interesting there.

||★ The GLYPH IMAGES ("TEXT ART") of 2ch are NOT ASCII ART!
||PROOF: HERE →http://www.chris.com/ascii/← is a BBS for ASCII ART.
||The GLYPH IMAGES of 2channel CANNOT be posted to this AA board, because
||the text art of 2channel is encoded in JIS (CHARACTER PICTURES drawn with
||JIS CHARACTERS). So-called "AA" consists of SINGLE-BYTE GLYPH IMAGES
||in the ENGLISH CODEPAGE OF ASCII! To display these on 2channel is IMPOSSIBLE!
||All text posted to 2channel is COMPULSORILY CHANGED into DOUBLE-BYTE
||JIS ENCODING, therefore the common "AA" (ASCII ART) CANNOT BE POSTED.
||★ Please RIGHT-CLICK on this page and select "VIEW PAGE SOURCE". The following
||text (the code to ENFORCE THE DOUBLE-BYTE CHARACTER SET) will appear.
||■meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Shift_JIS"■
||The above tag converts ALL OF THE CHARACTERS on this BBS to JIS encoding.
||THEREFORE, the meaning of "AA"-- "ASCII ART"-- cannot carry the meaning of
||this tag. THEREFORE, "AA" (ASCII ART) from the USA CANNOT BE POSTED HERE.
||The encoding tag of the ENGLISH BBS which can carry ASCII ART (AA) is the following:
||★META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset= ISO-8859-1"★
||★Please look at the following site for details. ASCII ART IS SINGLE BYTE GLYPH IMAGES.
