What about all the people who now access usenet via

I can access my email via a web page, that doesn't make my email inbox a
website.

Quite. Nor is a "forum" a website. Its a database of stuff which is
*accessed* through a web frontend.

It's a web-based application.


The technical difference between usenet-based and website-based
discussion groups is the protocol or protocols through they are
accessed.

http vs nntp !


Historically, the latter were once called BBS

No. A BBS traditionally was usually a dial-in computer running probably a DOS
application.
