I think that you should set up a NNTP for NESdev

I think that NNTP is much better than web forum and mailing list (and IRC is better than Discord); however, you could also have multiple interfaces to the same messages if wanted (although, when posting messages by NNTP you must ensure that the message ID and other stuff is not mangled by doing so).
You could either use a separate database for a web forum (then my "sqlnetnews" software will be usable), or use the same database (in this case, extra columns will be needed to retain data not already used by the web interface, and you can't use "sqlnetnews" software because SQLite does not support the use of incremental blob I/O with virtual tables). Another thing that makes it difficult to work is that there does not seem to be any MIME type defined for bbcode.
I also wrote a Unusenet document, which specifies a format for newsgroup names that are not part of Usenet (there are many cases; one is to use "un" and a number of domain name parts and dot and the reverse domain name, followed by the rest of the news group name, e.g. un2.org.zzo38computer.admin), and also some new header fields, such as From-RDF which is a URL of a RDF file with more information about the user.
