ABOUT TAGLINES
This page has just lists of what used to be called TAGLINES. When we got on the computer in the old days, 1980’s, we did it without pictures most of the time. The internet wasn’t something that was easily got, and when you got it, you had to type a bunch of code to access it. Even then there were no fancy graphics. Actually NO graphics that weren’t made out of numbers and letters, which is a whole nunther subject, like smileys.
But we did have BULLETIN BOARDS. The modern equivalent of that is called a Dicussion Group. Chat wasn’t called chat, but you could directly chat through your keyboard to the Systems Operator, (and he could see what you typed too), who owned the computer that ran the bulletin board. Heck he might be right across town, or several towns over.
You signed up with one or several of these places that you could dial into, which were normally local so that long distance charges didn’t make you poor. They always had great titles and names. Then, choosing a category, or group, or subject, you discussed that subject with other people. You could use your own name or not, depending on your level of comfort. And the discussions were hot and heavy.
There was what was called a Moderator, who was kind of a referee so that people didn’t get too hateful. But there were even categories that were used exclusively for ranting and raving and being hateful too. Flaming, as it was called, was frowned upon for the most part in most groups though. They still have Moderators, but somehow it wasn’t the same.
Now when you left each message, you could put what was called a TAGLINE at the end of it. Normally these were cute sayings (as they are now), or heavy thoughts or maybe an advertisement. Philosophy was popular, and so were things that people said in movies and tv, such as Star Trek, The Borg, etc . . .
I kept all of those taglines that I saved. (Probably others did too) So here I am re posting them. Be sure not to think that they might resemble my belief system. Some do and some don’t. I’d hate to start a ancient flame war. There were thousands, and I do have thousands, but they weren’t ALL good.
Feel free to copy these and take them with you. Taglines are for sharing. They always were.
