Sure, I'll let you know if I come up with something.

I'm not very inventive.

I was playing with MongoDB, but am thinking it might be simpler to use
Postgresql instead. It's not really a network though.

The idea of what I want to do, is a central repository of messages,
stored in a database.

BBSes query the database via an API, it would be something like:

https://some.host/getmsg/XXXXXX

where XXXXXX is the last query id.

the server responds with a json array of messages with an id higher than
the last query id.

to post a message it would send a POST query with a json message (and an
api key for the bbs) 

each message has a random uuid so the bbs knows not to import messages
that it exported

oh well screaming baby
