Community Rooms: Definitions of TermsMessage or Bulletin BoardsBBSs were pioneered by microcomputer hobbyists in the late 1970's. These systems were designed mainly for swapping files, but also featured areas where users could post notices. Each message was treated as an independent entity with no relationship to any other message, and all were posted on one big "bulletin board" with no organization. Later, features began to appear for categorizing messages, responding to specific messages, and carrying on threaded discussions. An examples is Parent Soup.
