The forum seems like it would've been a perfect vector to extend something
like nets to. FidoNet seems like it would naturally migrate to any of the
various forum packages (e.g. phpBB, MyBB, etc). I converted the message
boards from one of my old BBS's to a phpBB system - and it actually kept
most of our community for a few months before petering out.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if there were some phpBB to FidoNet
gateways... Since there are mobile clients for phpBB, that would make a
perfect web-based FidoNet entry...

But I digress.
