Hello There

Hello there.

I literally dug through the recesses of the internet to figure out how 
to connect to Usenet without getting scammed. Now I'm here. I've grown a 
bit of interest in forum-like spaces. Usenet and bbses (yes I'm aware 
forums succeed those, not the other way around) seem to fit that.

Could somebody give me a rundown on BBSes, the software to connect to 
them, and what you do on them?
