A Bulletin Board System (BBS) is a computer server running software that allows users to connect and log in to the system via terminal emulation over a telecommunication network. BBSs were especially popular in the 1980s and early 1990s, before the rise of the World Wide Web.
Modern BBSs like Cyrellia preserve the authentic retro experience while leveraging today's internet infrastructure. Users can:
Participate in threaded discussions on various topics with fellow enthusiasts and community members.
