The question that immediately came to my mind was, "why not NNTP?"

I see what you mean with this. I think NNTP is still a great protocol for discussions, it's just that over the years it got a bad rap for being a warez/porn haven.

The server/client mechanism is robust and scalable. With a good client UI, it could be turned into quite a smart social/work platform.

I've been toying with attempting such a NNTP client, but it's way down on my list of projects.
