I would like to customize OSQA and release as a website to general internet users. So, I won't be distributing the software to anyone and the website would stay as a closed system where the users can just use the service. Am I allowed to do that on GPL3 or do I have to release the source code in any case?

No, you don't have to, because you are just using it on your site, but you can't monetize them by making it proprietary and selling them according to GPL.

For example, internet companies such as Google uses tons of GPL codes, but not revealed their folks all.
