Using the bitcoin blockchain to store small info is a really interesting idea. Bitcoin is having some scaling issues, but I'm hoping those get resolved in time.

What concerns me is the blockchain is decentralized but the website hosting the post board is not. This seems to defeat the purpose. Unfortunately there is no way to connect directly to bitcoin nodes from web browsers so some central components are necessary, but I imagine there could be a way to make things somewhat decentralized using centralized components.
