Have you seen this: http://twister.net.co/
It sounds very similar to what you're trying to do. Also, I'd be willing to help out in the form of running some alpha/beta software as part of the network once you get something working. Depending what languages you're writing in, I might help with code.

One last comment here on this topic;
For anybody who wants to discuss decentralized communication mechanisms in general, they can come to www.reddit.com/r/p2pcomms (up until these decentralized forums have become stable and common).
I've seen quite a few more of these projects lately, I want to make a list of them and would definitely like to contribute to making them not just usable, but good enough to gain popularity on their own.
(And in case you wonder about my approach to moderation: let every user pick which moderators / filters / servers he trusts, and let them share their subscription preferences in place of sharing links to centralized forums.)
