    Where does one find a good source of taglines these days? I guess there must be a few .txt files about somewhere?

    Now would be a good time to update them. Most taglines were fandom related. So many new fandoms have emerged in the last 20+ years.

    i dunno... i have a large file of them, though... i forget how many but several thousand... maybe even more than 9999... i'll have to see if i can find it and maybe work up something to post blocks of them from time to time ;)

    Paul,

    I have several files of them, including the one I have for OLX. If you
    want, I can post messages of them.

    I don't have any to update :-( although I think the copy of Allfix I use with my HUB setup may have something that shipped with it...

    I wonder if with all the new fandoms if there are people out there with any tagline experience?

    This would be cool :) I can update my taglines file for my Wildcat! editor mod then :)

    Most people now access the internet with mobile phones... and considering that at tweet is pretty much the same length as a tagline they don't have room to
    do much. A tagline would eat their content.

    Amen on that. I go back to the days of 4 trek echos, Bluewave on a 1200 BPS modem and the SRE online game day.

    I went from 1200 to 2400 then the big jump to a US Robotics 56K modem. Big man on the block with that.
