Maybe this looks more like a forum?

http://arkanis.de/projects#nntp-forum
https://github.com/arkanis/nntp-forum

The key idea here is to have an etablished system newsgroup under the 
hood (for the more "conserative" users) and a fancy webinterface forum 
(for the "new" generation). So to enable exchange between those two user 
groups (the author also writes about the ides behind this software on 
his blog) - and free choice of reader for everyone.


just my 2cents (and to throw in another alternative in the pot *d&r* ;-)
