Well as a relatively newcomer to the BBS scene I can vouch for how confusing this all is in the beginning. It really not clear to a newcomer which is best for what topic, what I did was look at how active boards were & used that to decide where to post.

Also sometimes  you gotta just post a message out & see what you get back.

Another consideration for posting or not posting to a BBS local boards is frankly how well setup & easy to use the BBS' message board & message readers are. Like you I'm a 20 For Beers frequenter and that is because it has a great message board & reader setup as does The Quantum Wormhole and no doubt other BBSes. If a BBS has a messaging board and reader setup that is hard for me to follow or understand, I'll put some effort into trying to figure it out but its much less likely that I'm going to use the local boards there.
