so are you telling us we cant post ansi ads?
I don't think the conversion program can handle some of these people's ansi advertisements if there are cursor positioning codes or other methods that
would trip it up.
will ctrl+a codes show up as ansi codes for people on mystic bbses?
wouldnt the real answer be to just avoid ansi advertisements if you are using
a petsci terminal?
even if color codes can be stripped if it was in msg and and the char set changed to low ascii, it's not the original ad.
