I don't think Synchronet was more popular than those you mentioned, necessarily (I don't know for sure), but I do think Synchronet was *newer* (introduced later) than those you mentioned (1992). So while Synchronet was was still increasing in popularity when the bottom fell out of the BBS "market", I don't think it really surpassed in popularity any of those you listed until the 2000's.
