"Close your tags" is what people posted when someone forgot to put a < /I> or < /b> or < /font> in their posts when bolding or italicizing, etc., for emphasis.

The problem was that FR coding at the time meant that all future posts from someone else had the same html applied until someone "closed the tag" to stop it.

Eventually, John Robinson added some code to protect this from happening, essentially resetting all the formatting back to defaults at the end of a post to keep unclosed tags from seeping into the next post.
