It would be difficult to find anything, either offline or online, that is truly decentralized. Even that group called Anonymous has leaders, or used to until they stumbled and got caught. If you don't moderate a forum, it descends into chaos and generally everybody who wants to not associate with trolls and scammers/spammers tend to abandon it, and then it never really recovers even when you start moderating it again -- which tends to make the trolls and the scammers/spammers mad at you when they can't hate on each other. Why not hang around?
Decentralized community is too utopian. Good luck finding one.
It sounds like the complete opposite to me - total anarchy.
Exactly..I'm tired of seeing all this "decentralization" crap. In one way or another, everything is "centralized", we have the laws of physics etc etc, aren't we forced to obey them?
A forum that isn't moderated is total anarchy and will fail/succumb to trolls and hackers and scammers.
OP is delusional.
Why can't we have a true democracy? Power to the people.
If trolls/hackers/scammers are a minority then a system can easily be set up to discourage them and even make it impractical. Don't let Hollywood movies fool you into thinking Anarchy = chaos. This simply isn't true. Methods such as rating systems, history filters, micropayments and voting committees will weed out the weak *bad* users and make it difficult for the ones that persist.
Regarding the 'everything is "centralized"' statement, that's not true. When everyone involved in the system has the ability to contribute equally to the system (in one way or another) this then creates a decentralised system, how again does that make it centralised? Over time, it would make sense that people will start to have more influence than others but that is natural selection and leadership. This is true decentralisation and democracy, when it is the choice of the people and not forced upon them.

Inside RetroShare there's a somewhat active Bitcoin forum.
Who do I need to have in my contact list?
Time to take the first step to a decentralized society. See u on a decentralized forum...
So we will not find you again. 
Darknet will soon have decentralized "everything" using dark market. Even servers like Silk Road will be decentralized. Content will be distributed on users and vendors computers instead of a server. This includes forums and others typical server platforms. Amir Taaki is working on the project.
"DarkMarket is an open source marketplace technology which utilizes every user—both vendors and customers—to host product pages, messenger pages, and the market as a whole."
This article describes it fairly well.

Thanks for the memories ... lol
A few years ago I tried this decentralized forum software:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osiris_%28Serverless_Portal_System%29
It was a bit annoying to use, because of the huge lag between updates, and how to find good portals
