 List of bulletin board systems

A bulletin board system (BBS) is a computer system that allows users to connect and log in to share information, upload and download files, read news, and exchange messages with other users. BBSes were prevalent in the pre-Internet era, primarily from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s. While many BBSes have ceased operations due to the rise of the Internet, some still exist today and are accessible via dial-up or the web.
