Flap Board

Twenty-four letters. Gas only.

A public departures board: anyone posts one 24-character line and pays gas only, no BOT. Your line hangs until you pull it or someone else takes it off the board.

TICKET WINDOW

Twenty-four letters, then the flaps.

Type a destination, a joke, a last call. The board uppercases it and pads it to 24 cells. One hanging line per post. Click a row to pull or take it.

No BOT is locked. pull takes your hanging line off the board; take lets someone else clear it. Nothing is refunded because nothing was paid in.

    Step up to the window

    Hang a 24-letter line for gas only. Pull it while it hangs if you want it down. If someone takes it, the line leaves the live board — still no BOT fee.
