It is not an oxymoron.
You’ve mistook the word ‘reclusive’ for ‘anti-social’. Not all recluses are anti-social; I know many people who simply don’t leave their homes due to having agoraphobia, social anxiety or simply because they don’t know how to go about relationships. Another thing you should realize is that communicating with people online is hardly anything like communicating in the flesh. Lots of recluses and shy people find solace in discussing things with people they meet online.
It would be an oxymoron if the forum was called ‘A Forum For Anti-Social People To Have Discussion’. An anti-social person is someone who does not wish to speak with others, a recluse is simply someone who doesn’t leave his/her home often, and usually tries to avoid it, for whatever reason it may be.
