   A BBS, or Bulletin Board System, is a computer system used in the past as an electronic version of a public bulletin board where users could dial in and share or exchange information. It was a precursor to modern internet forums and social media platforms. The system usually involved text-based interfaces and was popular from the 1970s to the 1990s.

1. BBS

   [common; abbreviation, “Bulletin Board System”] An electronic bulletin board system; that is, a message database where people can log in and leave broadcast messages for others grouped (typically) into topic groups. The term was especially applied to the thousands of local BBS systems that operated during the pre-Internet microcomputer era of roughly 1980 to 1995, typically run by amateurs for fun out of their homes on MS-DOS boxes with a single modem line each. Fans of Usenet and Internet or the big commercial timesharing bboards such as CompuServe and GEnie tended to consider local BBSes the low-rent district of the hacker culture, but they served a valuable function by knitting together lots of hackers and users in the personal-micro world who would otherwise have been unable to exchange code at all. Post-Internet, BBSs are likely to be local newsgroups on an ISP; efficiency has increased but a certain flavor has been lost. See also bboard.
