I connected to one the other day to see what TBBS was all about, because I
can't recall ever seeing one in my area back in the 90s. Anyway, my
impression of the software was exactly what you described. The message system
seemed clunky.
I feel like one of the main purposes of a BBS is the exchange of messages,
and I've always felt like so many packages just get that fundamental aspect
wrong, mainly with a poorly designed browsing/reading/writing interface.
