If character journal's are akin to novels, the bulletin board is akin to a collection of unconnected short stories. While a character journal focuses on one character and their story (meaning it might get very, very long), the bulletin board is there to provide small snippets of plots or characters so that the community might choose to acknowledge, get involved in them or gossip about them at their discretion.
