Daydream Nation BBS Intro

In the mid-nineties I was a member of Princeton-area ANSI art group PUNC. I wrote this BBS intro for their distribution headquarters.

I guess I didn't think to ask any of the artists in the group to draw a better logo for the ripple effect, because I'm pretty sure I slapped together that exercise in gradient abuse myself, in Deluxe Paint IIe.

Note: the video ends with 9 minutes of blackness. It was the only way I could get YouTube's transcoder to not stomp the video to death.

I was a member too for about 4 -> 5 months. I was sc2001, sc2, soulie2001, or soul crusher.

@cystacae Name sounds familiar but I wasn't too social with other members of the group. I don't think I ever left so much as petered out. Did you do anything else in the art/demo scene?

@cystacae I was actually searching around and found the few art packs of PuNC with my artwork and before however couldn't find my later work after PuNC had died. I ran a group called DoA or Drowned out Artists from the 607 and prior to PuNC my earlier work was a group I ran called RuST.

Mostly in ascii/ansi artform however on the local level in my area 607 I also created addons to bulletin board systems with very comprehensive art designs and artistic controlled menus systems and logins. Mostly for Telegard BBS but some for PowerBBS and WG.
