I beg to differ. Of course, I'm an Usenet admin and involved in Usenet administration since years. Saing "no Usenet" is usually a sign of the famous "not invented here" syndrom. I'd sugest to keep the 30+ years experience with large volume distributed mass communication, instead of throwing good and infrastructure and user interfaces away. Wikis, Webformus and a lot of other Web 2.0 hypes are doomed to redo every mistake which is solved since 20+ years.
