BBS's will never be "mainstream" because there are no ads. Years ago some SysOps charged for their services and even that didn't work out. So yea, BBSing is a hobby because money isn't involved. If users would take the time to learn how to use a BBS I suspect they would be used more.

It's also because BBS aren't exactly n00b-friendly, and also they
mainly appeal to the kinds of people webforums appeal to, and there are
a lot more people that those don't appeal to but social networking
sites do.
