| | Bulletin board system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A bulletin board system or BBS is a computer system running software that allows users to dial into the system over a phone line and, using a terminal program, perform functions such as downloading software and data, uploading data, playing games, reading news, and exchanging messages with other users. | | | A BBS will often have mail (or mailer) software to interface with a network, such as Fidonet. | | | BBSes were a highly social phenomenon and were used for meeting people and having discussions in message boards as well as for publishing articles, downloading software, playing games and many more things using a single application. |

| | In the mid-1990s membership to BBSs begins to decrease, as the graphics-oriented World Wide Web bursts on the scene and grabs computer users' attention. | | | By the early 1990s most BBSs are connected to the Internet, and a whole new virtual world is introduced to BBS members, who had previously roamed within the limited parameters of one system (or in some cases several interconnected systems). | | | Virtual bulletin boards begin popping up around the country; they are given the generic name BBS, for bulletin board system. |
