The Original Social Network - Bulletin Boards!
Welcome to The BBS Corner - the only website that offers information on Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) for both the BBS System Operator (SysOp) and the BBS User . We have been offering information, news and files since April 1996.
Bulletin Board Systems in 2016? You bet!
Bulletin Board Systems in 2016? You bet! A lot of people thought that the Bulletin Board died when the Internet came of age in the mid 1990s. Sure, there are a lot less BBSes than in 1996 - but progress has been made. Almost all BBSes are now available on the Internet. Imagine playing LORD on a BBS in Canada, posting a message on a BBS in Finland and downloading a shareware game from the United States? With the Internet, BBSing has actually improved!

The BBS Users Zone - Surfing the Web 0.2!
With the Internet, there are many choices to go for
social networking. Sure, you've heard of the "Web 2.0" with MySpace, Facebook
and Twitter. But how did it all get started? Your local Bulletin Board System!
You didn't need to go far to find people in your town because the local BBS was
just for your town (unless you called long distance). The BBS is the new "Web
0.2"!
The BBS of the modern Internet era is similar. You still have a
small group of people with common interests.
If you have never used a
BBS before, you may be wondering what a BBS is all about? Come to the BBS Users
Zone to find out what what you've been missing.
