    NNTP is for Usenet. BBS puritans do not use it.

    NNTP is also for fidonet. Fidonet is not BBS, and BBS is not fidonet.

    No, NTTP is used to gate messages in and out of Fidonet. This was originally done by frontend mailers. Like HTTP, NNTP is just a modern convenience that detracts from the BBS experience.
