There's a re-implementation of 'forum' called Discuss[1] that was
implemented by the MIT Student Information Board. It has a 'forum'
feel, and the ss (subsystem) library provides the CLI interface which
is reminiscent of Multics forum.
[1] http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.31.8576&rep=rep1&type=pdf
The ss and et (error_table) libraries that were originally written for
the Discuss system are still in use today as part of Linux's ext2/3/4
userspace utilities, e2fsprogs. (The debugfs program uses the ss
library, as does a few regression test drivers for some unit tests).
The ss library is also used for the Kerberos v5 Administration
Server.
