: Wouldn't make any sense at all in the context as given here. These are 'boards' ABOUT certain subjects — nothing to do with 'boards of directors' etc;

: you don't get "un conseil d'administration" for a whole industry - wouldn't work even if it was some old fashioned now defunct "board", a formal industry wide body like "The gas board" or "the electricity board"!

English term (edited):
(bulletin) board
panneau d'affichage (électonique)
As this is talkng about online resources, I am convinced this is referring to 'bulletin boards', almost invariably these days shortened to 'boards' — the origiinal forerunner of 'blogs' or 'forums'.
Although my suggestion is the literal translation of a 'bulletin board' in the computing sense, I can't help feeling that modern readers might understand it better if you changed it to 'forums' anyway.

Electronic Bulletin Boards
Related Terms: Newsgroups
Electronic bulletin boards (also known as message boards or as computer forums) are online communication systems where one can share, request, or discuss information on just about any subject. E-mail is a way to converse privately with one or more people over the Internet; electronic bulletin boards are public. Any visitor to a message board can read and respond to any message found there, although registration of some kind is usually required before "posting" privileges are granted. A large collection of electronic bulletin boards is known as a newsgroup. Thousands of newsgroups populate the Internet, each dedicated to a single topic. Some are dedicated to roof-repair, some to obscure computer languages, some to skin defects. You name it.
