I think it would be cool to have nostr powered forums that don't require hosting beside a static site that serves client side js.

Content could be entirely hosted by relays (both recommended by the forum and chosen by the users). The forum would just be the frontend of a nostr client that just shows the user notes related to that forum. This way, users don't really need to know that they are using nostr while profiting from decentralization, post ownership and censorship resistance.

I do think that central moderation would make sense in this case, since the moderators would only be able to "hide" posts from the "official" forum site but they could still be fetched using other nostr clients. I guess one could even fork forums if they disagreed with the current moderation policies.
