NNTP.

I know everyone seems to want to go ape over "how complicated it is"
and "how no one seems to know how to use it", but, you know, "Death
of Usenet Predicted; Film at 11".  And it *is* designed for that sort
of discussion.

Flutterby, among other basically-web-forum-y venues has just built an
NNTP backend to allow the use of a news client to follow discussions.

So why *not* dean.*
