 Definitions for bboard: Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)
:
bboard /bee'bord/ n. [contraction of `bulletin board'] 1. Any
electronic bulletin board; esp. used of BBS systems running on
personal micros, less frequently of a Usenet newsgroup (in fact, use
of this term for a newsgroup generally marks one either as a newbie
fresh in from the BBS world or as a real old-timer predating Usenet). 2.
At CMU and other colleges with similar facilities, refers to campus-wide
electronic bulletin boards. 3. The term `physical bboard' is sometimes
used to refer to an old-fashioned, non-electronic cork-and-thumbtack
memo board. At CMU, it refers to a particular one outside the CS Lounge.
In either of senses 1 or 2, the term is usually prefixed by the name
of the intended board (`the Moonlight Casino bboard' or `market
bboard'); however, if the context is clear, the better-read bboards may
be referred to by name alone, as in (at CMU) "Don't post for-sale ads on
general".
