Apparently they're still popular in Taiwan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTT_Bulletin_Board_System

Thats pretty impressive! I mean its a BBS with more than 1.5 million registered users, for gods sake. Also there is some creative ASCII art in there, go check it out.

Indeed, PTT has a lot of beautiful screens, and for those of us used to the CP437 character set, it looks quite exotic!

For those interested, here are some captures of some of the menus (there is a lot more posted in conferences) :

Author here. I had no idea this was posted until I just rolled out of bed. Feel free to ask any questions here or hit me up on gchat/skype/aim/facebook/yahoo with the same username as here if that's more comfortable for you. There's also the standard issue tracker and mailing list. Thanks!

Hey, great looking theme, and it love the attention to detail, but I noticed it's Bootstrap 2x and the site I was going to put it on is bootstrap 3x at the moment. Any plans/progress porting this or rewriting it root bootstrap 3x, or should I build anything I want this one as 2x?

There's a lot of demand for 3x. I have been working on this for 18 months off and on ... I'll look into 3x very soon.

If you're building a Macintosh System 6 or 7 style page, use this site[1] to create 1-bit Atkinson[2] dithered images which will fit perfectly. [1] http://gazs.github.io/canvas-atkinson-dither [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Atkinson If you actually used a Mac back in the late 80's / early 90's, this site's output will give you a heady shot of pure, undiluted nostalgia. I wasted half an afternoon once, converti…

If you happen to be writing your simulated vintage mac site on a modern mac, vImage (part of the Accelerate framework) supports Atkinson dithering from OS X 10.9 onward via vImageConvert_Planar8to[Planar|Indexed][124]. Not overly useful for one image, but if you have lots of them, it's nice to have a programmatic solution.

For instance, Atkinson dithering on video. Like Vine, but 8bit.

For that, you'll want the new vImage CV pixel buffer functions in iOS 8 and Yosemite =)

Am I the only one that noticed the irony of presenting a Javascript-required website with the self-promotional phrase: Made for everyone. Bootstrap was made to not only look and behave great in the latest desktop browsers (as well as IE7!), but in tablet and smartphone browsers via responsive CSS as well.?
