A bulletin board system (BBS) is a computer or an application dedicated to the sharing or exchange of messages or other files on a network. Originally an electronic version of the type of bulletin board found on the wall in many kitchens and work places, the BBS was used to post simple messages between users.
Here is a modern chat board in use that allows marine and boating enthusiasts to post messages, comments, helpful tips and advice: www.allboatinfo.com/chat
Today, a bulletin board is also known by various other names such as discussion group, chat board, discussion forum, message board, and online forum and is where you can leave messages and expect to see responses to messages you have left, or you can just read the board.
Many websites offer bulletin or discussion boards so that users can share and discuss information and opinions. It’s a way businesses add value and interaction to their websites to generate more traffic, return visitors, and content. They are great for generating discussions and forming “online communities” of similar-minded users and are often based on a specific theme or content.
