So it is a BBS, but instead of using dial-up modems, it is using the internet as the transport mechanism? Am I interpreting that correctly?

You're not that far off, actually. I consider us similar to a modern take on usenet/NNTP. The UX should be a bit cleaner than those things, but I'm function, similar.

Excellent. I have been hoping that someone would revisit that model, now that the underlying transport mechanism is so ubiquitous, reliable, and fast.

It'll be interesting to see how it pans out...

Do you have any preview available whatsoever? I've become interested in checking the UX claim, but I don't want to sign up to yet another service I may have no use for.

Also: Google Forms for sign-up request. What's that about? Is it even alpha stage if your sign-up forms are crutch-third-party?
