-BBS is an acronym for Bulletin Board System. Most commonly used when referring to Citadels, but can refer to any message board.
+#REDIRECT [[Bulletin Board System]]
-The BBS, from the user's perspective, is segmented into "rooms", each of which is dedicated to a topic. Within each room are a series of posts, marked with date-time stamp, from individual users. The user reads all the posts, posts his/her own reply or message, and moves onto the next room.
-In this manner the message board emulates a "bulletin board", such as roommates in a large house might use to communicate with each other. Entirely text-based (at least in dial-up format), the BBS was the primitive forerunner to the modern thread-based [[message board]].
