Fun idea. If it were my choice, it'd be super meta, and it'd be about the community as a whole.
I can imagine it being some sort of genre mashup. I'm thinking topside, it's a Zelda-esque role play in a cybernetic world where you're just an average new forum member. A nameless group of hackers have sucked you and everyone else TRON-style into this strange world of avatars, monster-like viruses, and people yelling at you to rate their levels.
You choose your name, but by default it's Link simply because that's basically the intent of the character. Your objective involves bringing peace and dispelling drama between users in the community, resolving feuds and reuniting everyone against the hackers and escaping the cybernetic world so that everyone can be safe again.
I guess the meta-aspect would involve the fact that, since SMBX is the main part of this forum, the genre mashup factor implies you'll be playing/editing SMBX levels as well. I'm not sure how or why without more thought than I'm willing to put into this, but there could be varying reasons for it anyway.
