bulletin board
bulletin board A bulletin board functions very much like a NEWSGROUP with the users of the board sending messages to it; these are then displayed to all those who access the bulletin board. It is a low-tech solution to providing a forum for users whose numbers are too small or whose focus of interest is too arcane to be supported by a NEWSGROUP. Often bulletin boards are used by companies who employ them to support their products or services.
