A certain BBS whose name won't be mentioned (because you get banned if you mention its name) became an unholy swamp infested with ectoplasms and bedeviled by the moaning of the unholy and the publishing of vile hateful invective.

Famed ex Ozpolitician Dr. Caligari provided ghost busting services to "the swamp".

The unholy moaning had to be stopped. The unholy spirits had to be de-slimed, tagged and bagged and sanitized.

This has resulted in a mental health recovery for denizen IQS.R.LOL, and a rented life for a day for a certain moaning lady who has stopped moaning.

The "swamp" is not yet a place where you can let your children play but the outlook is brightening.

Bulletin Board System. Ozpolitic is a BBS.

Quote:

A bulletin board system (BBS) is a computer or an application dedicated to the sharing or exchange of messages or other files on a network. Originally an electronic version of the type of bulletin board found on the wall in many kitchens and work places, the BBS was used to post simple messages between users. The BBS became the primary kind of online community through the 1980s and early 1990s, before the World Wide Web arrived. A BBS may be accessible from a dial-up modem, Telnet, or the Internet. Because it originated before the graphical user interface (GUI) became prevalent, the BBS interface was text-based. Although recent Web-based versions have a graphical, interactive user interface, the text-only interface preferred by BBS purists can often be accessed by Telnet. According to Justin Scott, co-founder of Sceiron Interactive and a former sysop, a Web-based BBS is essentially a Web site that is powered by BBS software rather than a Web server. Most BBSes are devoted to a particular subject, although some are more general in nature. Among special interests represented on BBSes are dentistry, law, guns, multi-player games, Druidic practices, and information for the disabled. A significant number of BBS sites offer "adult-oriented" chat and images that can be downloaded. The BBS is often free, although some charge a membership or use fee. Many BBSes have Web sites, and many Internet access providers have bulletin board systems from which new Internet users can download the necessary software to get connected. The BBS has its own culture and jargon. For example, a sysop is the person who runs the site. Online chat became widely popular through the BBS and many chat acronyms originated there.

This part is incorrect. "Web-based BBS is essentially a Web site that is powered by BBS software rather than a Web server." A web based BBS still requires a web(http) server and all requests go through it, it lives on top a web server.
