Many BBS users find them through organizations they are already a part of, such as specialty group that contains a BBS as part of their website. If you are part of a local or national organization, check with your group’s coordinators to see if they have a discussion board. Another way to find discussion groups is to perform a web search for a topic that interests you and add the word “discussion” into the search. Many discussion boards can be viewed by the public, and only require membership to post questions or responses.
