Ah the old bbs. I remember there was something where the different bbs boards were linked and they would update each other over time. with the posts. I guess something like a dns server does today.
I just can't recall what the name of it was.
it was called fidonet; a bbs system of email and file distribution using "store and forward". hubs, nodes and points would have a set time to dial into their uplink every day to download/upload netmail, news and file requests.
it was primitive, painfully slow, but it was all we had in those days

But I do remember that a reply may take a day or two later to get because the bbs you were using had not received it yet.
that's the one. any number of things could go wrong with that system.
thank god for internet ...
