I believe you mean the .tag files.

Taglines

Taglines are similiar to email signature files, but they applied by the system  
(not users) on messages. Here's a list of .TAG files supported by WWIV BBS.
Tag Filename File Location Description
GENERAL.TAG GENERAL.TAG is the default tag file used for all SUBs when  
SUBTYPE.TAG is absent.
SUBTYPE.TAG \wwiv\nets\wwivnet OR \wwiv\data TAG files can also be customized  
on a per SUB basis. Hence, SUBTYPE.TAG. You replace SUBTYPE with the subtype  
for the networked SUB. For instance, for the WWIV Development WWIVnet sub, with 
 the subtype "WWIVDEV" you'd use WWIVDEV.TAG. GENERAL.TAG is the default tag  
file used when .TAG is absent.
INTERNET.TAG Define in NET.INI (typically in \wwiv\data or \wwiv\gfiles) This  
defines your NEWS tagline for Usenet Newsgroups as SIGNATURE. Plain text only,  
no Leading ^D.
BBS*.TAG \wwiv\wwivedit 

Tag files are expected to be found in either NET_DATA or DATA directories.
