"Heavily underutilized", as I understand it, means the
simple default choice by Wikipedians to not use it.

The possible reasons are that the BBS format is
outdated; other threaded formats are cleaner and
easier to use.  I think the main reason that people
elected to "heavily underutilize" the BBS is because
its yet another distracting divergence from the wiki. 

The other platforms are slow enough; though MLs are
basic and ubiquitous, and IRC is more UTTM. Any added
platform (should there be a choice) has to compete
with the utility of these others.
