A BBS that was open to the general scene public, and not just for the self-defined "elites". Usually, such BBSs carried only legal files, and their numbers were publicly advertised. However, they usually still required user registration, and sysops could refuse accounts to users they considered too "lame".

A BBS that was connected to the demoscene in a more intense way than just offering demos for download. Such BBSs were affiliated with several demoscene groups, had active demosceners as sysops, or were generally know as demoscene communication hubs.

SBCNet (Sound Board Connection Network) was a BBS message network focused on music.
