Bulletin boards (a.k.a., "forums") have never gone away. Actually, they're more popular than ever.
Reddit, for example, is basically a giant bulletin board.
Facebook Groups are forums -- bolted onto Facebook itself -- and probably a major reason people still use Facebook.
Numerous help desk software, such as Zendesk, use bulletin boards as a major selling point of their platform.
And the reason why @nodebb@fosstodon.org federating is such a big deal is because a major request many people have regarding the #Fediverse is bulletin board capabilities. This now exists with NodeBB 4.0.0 -- which was just released today.

@atomicpoet discourse too. I'm golng to try to talk one discourse I'm in into turning on federation. Hopefully more existing bbs can start federating because that would be awesome!

Discourse's AP integration is currently partially two-way. New topics and posts are federated outward to the fediverse, and replies federate in. There's currently no facility to discover new content from the fediverse and interact with it from Discourse.
From the start I've wanted NodeBB to be the fediverse client I use, so it supports full two-way communication with content discovery (via the dedicated
/worldpage) from followed users. -

Congratulations! That's really cool! Looking forward to see this feature added to Discourse and other BBs as well!

@ex_06@puntarella.party a lot of the one-click services for NodeBB are run by third parties, so you'll have to reach out to them for help.
I don't usually recommend one or the other, but I do know @cloudron@social.cloudron.io is on the fediverse...
