Yeah, the main problem is the storage required. A p2p kind of setup but with the back-end capable of RAID10-like redundancy, allowing for servers to keep varied amounts of data. With enough distributed servers/clients, no single instance could grow large enough to threaten the whole system.
As for oldschool forums - I think they'd just be a slight downgrade to something like Lemmy. You CAN operate Lemmy like a forum, you just get all the extra stuff on top.
