    Having read this site for years and occasionally posted, one thing i have always wanted to know - what do the initials 'BBS' actually stand for?!

    As I remember in the 90's a BBS, or bulletin board system, was the general name given to a forum...a lot of them didn't actually exist on the wider internet, you had to dial in to them with special software...it has to be said that the main use of these systems at the time was for sharing pornography. (apparently)

    Did you really expect anything else.

    Suppose we could blame Wednesday or Leeds fans for infiltrating the board though.....
