　■I wonder if the word "post" in reference to writing a post on a BBS comes from
　│"posting a letter to the board" or "posting a note" like to an actual bulletin
　│board
　│
　└■I think it's the latter - BBSes were invented in the USA as far as I'm 
　　　aware, and Americans typically use "mail/mailing" instead of 
　　　"post/posting" when referring to sending/receiving letters (hence "e-
　　　mail" and not "e-post"). Americans do however use "post" as in "posting 
　　　a public notice for all to see", which is where I believe "posting" in 
　　　the context of BBSes comes from 
　　　
　　　On Japanese boards (including KuzuhaScriptPHP+ and RNS Remix), I often 
　　　see "toukou" (投稿) which means submission/contribution (as in 
　　　"contributing an article to a newspaper"), "toukou-sha" (投稿者) which 
　　　means submitter/contributor, "toukou nichiji" (投稿日時) which means 
　　　"submission/contribution date", etc. The direct English translations 
　　　are TOO LONG however, so I didn't use them in any of my script 
　　　translations (;´Д`) 
　　　
　　　I did use "submission board" (投稿板; toukou-ban) kinda awkwardly on 
　　　bbsdirectory though. If anyone was wondering what the hell that meant, 
　　　it means "boards where people submit their own original material to 
　　　share with others (usually nudes/amateur pr0nz)"
