I feel like the web interface doesn't take anything away from what a BBS is.  It's there if people want to use it though.  The same applies to the news server, NNTP/POP server, etc..  I think those servers are pretty cool, as a way of extending the capabilities of the BBS, without taking anything away from what the BBS is.

We also have other modern stuff these days, such as door games that can connect to a remote BBS (or other site) to store information, which enables things like a shared one-liner wall that can be accessed from multiple BBSes, game scores that could be stored in one place and accessed from multiple BBSes, etc.  Synchronet also has the capability to send messages to users on other Synchronet BBSes - I think that's cool, though I haven't used it a whole lot.
