decentralized textboards

Do you know of any? I want something like chatangle with longer posts.
Also what happened to the textboard project that was discussed at progrider.org? It was clear from the beginning that the author would never write a single line of code but maybe some ideas were good.

what's with freetards and decentralization? decentralization opens you up to subversion from people who dislike you

centralized power and a benevolent leader is all you need
