>8ch turns into a literal pen and paper mailing list.
Old kc /int/ used to send around a load christmas-cards every year? I don't see why we couldn't send memes and pics of our waifus, raifus and dicks via mail. If I recall correctly, letteranon paid something like three buckaroos for a single letter from Germany to 日本. A letter from the US to Europe or the other way around shouldn't cost any more than that, and if you use a small font-size and write on front and back you can probably send a thread at a time.
If every user knew exactly two addresses, then every user could send two letters a month and everyone adds their own bogus memes to it. After 100 posts you either keep the paper, or the addresses are organized in such a way that they loop around every hundredth user.
Using Hexadecimal numbers for post IDs would reduce the amount of space they take away from your writing area.
Let's say you used ISO A4 paper, that's 210x297mm² for each sheet of paper. Substract three centimeters from the edge to make filing easier and you get 204x291mm². If every user got a box of 20x30mm to write their shit in, you could get 100 "posts" on a single side of paper, and 200 posts if you used both sides.
If you really wanted to you could make everyone write text on one side and do pictures on the other, so it would still be 100 "posts" per page, but everyone gets to send a picture and write text.

The problem with hamming are licenses though. In most countries you need a license for anything but a a handheld radio, and frequencies are strictly monitored. The punishments for misusing a frequency can go into the millions, because they really don't want anyone to even try.
Getting a license isn't that hard, but it requires time, effort and money. Time to sit down and study, effort to actually pass the test, and money to obtain the license and join a club which will provide you with studying material and practical experience. Join a local hamming club anyways. It's a fun way to get to get into some emergency networks.
Using a digital setup is pretty easy, and you wouldn't even need to send pictures or anything. You can send normal text via digital, which you could standardize into a format that is readable by a script that turns it into HTML for your browser after decryption.
Using 40 or 20 meter bands means that your antenna doesn't have to be that long and you can get halfway around the globe on a good day. If the messages are standardized, you could possibly create a chatroom using a system.
If every user broadcast the last 100 replies they have received to all other users in range every time they themselves make a post, then every user should get a somewhat complete picture of the conversation as it is going on.
So if someone in Europe made a post, and someone in New York received it and replies, they would also be sending the original post to someone in Brazil, who could then reply to both the original and the reply. Only the guy in New York would get the reply from that Brazilian though and would only update the guy in Europe if he decides to reply or manually update everyone in range.
It wouldn't be much effort at all. Some time in C programming a simple application for transforming messages into HTML and vice versa and some commercially available 20 meter ready-built used sets for maybe 150 Burgercoins.
