me: I'm busy chatting to someone else, can it wait?
someDude: No! I want you to show me such & such for IRC...
me: Not now.
someDude: please please please please!!!
me: Ok, if you insist...
me: ^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G... (etc.)
Imagine sending 20+ page text file of repeated ^G to someone who was pestering you in ytalk. ROFL! (Was more fun than just using the ignore option. Especially when the recipient didn't know how to use the break command to get out of it. So their options were to re-boot or suffer for 5min.) Yeah, I was mean.
Another cool old-school ASCII thing was the page return/feed code. I vaguely remember it was possible to do some cool animations that way. Somebody I knew at Bradley back then had an X-wing blow up the Deathstar in a 40sec long animated ASCII sequence.
I'd second the blog thing, and Blogger's a good one. No real worrys about keeping track of code, just typing away as you would in most forum text-entry boxes. If you're worried about formatting, you could always go back and modify the blog's CSS later on.
