Nah, you can draw on a post-it note. You can even use colored pencils. :)
What I mean by "post-it note style" is that there's a big, grid-like
board, and conversation happens by people coming and putting a note into
the general area of the board where they want to say something. Replies
are then people tacking further post-its on the bottom of those. If you
stop by the board every couple of weeks, gah, it's a whole new mess of
layered notes.
Real threads are nice, and the thread/message management utilties of a
real newsreader (or in a different way, of the web interface).
As for lugnet and "plain blah text" -- not necesarily so. See:

Perhaps you are underestimating my ability to be annoying. :)

As I said from the beginning, it's not the main Classic-Castle site that I
dislike (that's basically a blog, which I find to be just fine). It's the
discussion forum software, which isn't anything unique to C-C. From that
point of view, it's *completely* customizable. :)
