I believe you're referring to the ArsDigita Community System, which was written in Tcl, and which ran on top of AOLServer, a web server that supported Tcl as a scripting language.

(ArsDigita's rise and fall was a classic dotcom bubble story, complete with Aeron chairs, fancy cars, greedy VCs, founders with big egos, lawsuits, etc.)
