Fido technology network
Another option would be to run a web forum in parallel with a fido technology network. So that we could connect with our vintage computers to a bbs carrying the network, either by dial-up or telnet, and then using a point system (which I gather wasn't so common in the US), or QWK, download and reply to messages in the forum.
The moderation would work the same. Obviously it would mean writing a custom web forum to be able to handle this, but it wouldn't be that difficult.
