From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]:
BBS
/B?B?S/, n.
[common; abbreviation, ?Bulletin Board System?] An electronic bulletin
board system; that is, a message database where people can log in and leave
broadcast messages for others grouped (typically) into {topic group}s. The
term was especially applied to the thousands of local BBS systems that
operated during the pre-Internet microcomputer era of roughly 1980 to 1995,
typically run by amateurs for fun out of their homes on MS-DOS boxes with a
single modem line each. Fans of Usenet and Internet or the big commercial
timesharing bboards such as CompuServe and GEnie tended to consider local
BBSes the low-rent district of the hacker culture, but they served a
valuable function by knitting together lots of hackers and users in the
personal-micro world who would otherwise have been unable to exchange code
at all. Post-Internet, BBSs are likely to be local newsgroups on an ISP;
efficiency has increased but a certain flavor has been lost. See also
{bboard}.
