What is Bulletin Board Service


Bulletin boards, also called newsgroups or discussion groups work in a similar way to electronic mail. Instead of writing messages to individual users, participants in bulletin boards post their messages on a news server. The messages are stored on the news server in hierarchical directories. Users participate in bulletin boards by reading the messages and responding to them. There are bulletin boards or newsgroups on virtually every subject you can think of.

If we want to join any one, BBS , we must apply and get permission. Then members can log into that BBS and access a wide variety of data. Depending upon your interest, you can get information on anything cinema, science, education, games, sports etc.
