A public meeting place, a Pub, if you will... A place for computer junkies to boldly post Off Topic... Things you might want to tell everyone... Or things you wouldn't say to anyone else

I always tell people, "it's like a bulletin board. You can post a message and people can post answers to your messages". They usually seem to get the idea.

It's like a chat room, but the messages are left for everyone to read and reply to whenever they feel like going there, so you don't have to be present during a discusttion to take part in it.

Yep, that usually does it or say BBS.

If they STILL don't get it, emphasize that it's not real time chat.
