Subject: Archived pictures

Q25a: Where are fractal pictures archived?

News groups

A25a: Fractal images (GIFs, JPGs...) are posted to alt.binaries.pictures.fractals (also known as abpf); this newsgroup has replaced alt.fractals.pictures. However, several alt.binaries.pictures groups being badly reputed, alt.fractals.pictures seems to have some new activity.

The fractals posted in alt.binaries.pictures.fractals are recorded daily at

The Infinite Fractal Loop

The Infinite Fractal Loop was initiated by Douglas Cootey ; it is now managed by Damien M. Jones. It is a link between a number of personal fractal galleries. The home page of the subscribers display the logo of the Infinite Fractal Loop. By clicking on selected areas of this logo the server of the loop will call an other site of this loop and from this new page, you can go to an other gallery... There are nearly 40 members in the loop.
