This can easily be done if and when more bbs systems transition the message
bases to a more modern data repository like SQL or NO-SQL databases instead
of the old binary JAM/SQUISH bases. It'll be so much easier for programmers
who just pull data directly from SQL/NO-SQL databases to display directly to
the web.  We'll also have more flexibility of designing our interfaces then
as well.  Speed would also be much faster as we can use caching interfaces.
