A typical 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 workplaces, the BBS was used to post simple messages between users.
The BBS became the primary kind of online community through the 1980s and early 1990s, before the World Wide Web arrived.
Here, the BBS is a network of user-owned message boards
BBS is like a reddit forum with moderators, now decentralized to run on any website. The network itself is the collection of all the BBS boards, wherever they are.
.
Anyone can create a BBS, on any subject, and run it on their own domain. Every post is actually an NFT that users can create, buy, sell and collect revenue from the ad space on posts they own.
.
The BBS shall not be considered strictly as a Reddit alternative. It is much more.
.
Unlike Reddit , a BBS community ( eg : Crypto Banter , Star Wars Theory etc. ) are not just a part of the BBS ecosystem. They are their own entities with their own rules and regulations.
.
A BBS community is not just a group or Sub- Reddit. But for our understanding, let us make that comparison regarding physical appearance. But in a broad aspect each BBS community could be called a Reddit of its own ( within its limits ).
.
The BBS message board software utilizes blockchain technology as a public database. This means that all BBS users, content and wallets can always be recovered, and can never be censored, shut down, seized, or altered by anyone, not even BBS.

This is a very brief introduction about BBS and we will uncover more in other posts.
