Acronym for BulletinBoardSystem. Originally started out as strips of paper in the Supermaket. Later, when computers became more widespread at home, the BBS became the primary precursor to the ZModem protocol (see also: Punter Protocol), ZedZap etc (see FidoNet), a unified modern global email standard, and contributed countless R&D towards modern UseNet and the InterNet as we know it today.

Lots of people involved with WLUG started out in the HamiltonBulletinBoardScene.
