Homonym: BBS (Bulletin)
BBS, or Bulletin Board System, is an early form of online communication that allows users to connect via telephone lines. Users could post messages, share files, and participate in discussions on various topics. BBSs were popular in the 1980s and 1990s before the rise of the internet.
BBSs often featured different sections or "boards" dedicated to specific interests, such as gaming, technology, or hobbies. Users accessed these systems using a modem and a terminal program, creating a community where people could interact and share information long before social media became prevalent.
