Usenet, or otherwise known as newsgroup, acted as a bulletin board similar to this one. It was a way of communicating before online games even existed. They later on added the function to post binary files on the board so you can d/l files from it, usenet along with irc is one of the oldest filesharing methods in p2p history. http://www.slyck.com has good guides on any program that deals with filesharing.
