BBS Taglines

Back in the day of BBS messages, it was common to add a tagline or a "one liner" to the bottom of your message. These were fun and many BBS and messaging apps added the functionality to either collect tags from other messages or auto append a tag to the bottom of a message you sent.

I have decided to add some Tag lines that I collected over the years. These are not original nor are they authored by me.

BBS Tags:
