I think we might have had something like that community when we were all hanging around in bulletin boards something like... 15 to 20 years ago.
I remember that I had a very dark time and some moderator (I was one, too) managed to find out my phone number (I think he dailed every number with my family name in our town till he found mine) and called me, after I had posted in a moderator-only group that I would take some time off and wasn't sure about returning because everything was shit.
That really touched me, although we had and have never met. It was human and very unexpected and I don't think you'd find something like that in modern day communities, build on Facebook.
Also: FB Groups probably killed bulletin boards because it was just very easy. What a loss.
