They're just text with a different file extension. :blink:
It's fine in Notepad2 for me. Only time i ever read them is to find a serial or read how to isntall something.
Re: what's the point in NFOs
They display ASCII art correctly (Black squares and such)
Also topsite scripts can read them because one of the NFO readers is coded to work with the programs used to join topsites, kinda confusing :unsure:
Its the same with Keygens, all about pride. Keygens came about when groups tried to prove they were 1337 by coding music into a keygen and keeping the file size as low as possible, so its the ASCII art is the pride of the group in a way, they want to get reconition when the end user see's who's getting the latest shit for them for free.
