How about SVG(Scalable Vector Graphics) if you just add diagrams, not
pictures.

There are two web BBS program which emphasize drawing pictures.
One is "oekaki" (O-E-Ka-Ki) and the other is "PictureBBS" a.k.a. "rakukaki"
They are popular in Korea, and in Japan, I guess. (The origin is Japan :)

Each distribution site is:
 * Oekaki: http://www.oekakibbs.com/index_e.html
     You may get program from Download menu. Visit other menus if you
     want to see pictures drawn using Oekaki.
 * PicBBS: http://www16.cds.ne.jp/~ohno/picbbs/ (Japanese)

They provide Java applet that users draw pictures on web browser and
save it as PNG format. Since the applet is not the BBS itself, 
you may use the applet independently after getting the acknowledge
of authors.

Hope this helps,
