I'd thought about something similar myself, last night (amazing the things you get to think thru when you can't sleep!)
Not sure what would be the best name, but I was thinking of some sort of page which could be called something like About PB (or history or background or something). It could include things about why PB was set up, links to Dr Bob's papers/talks (and maybe other relevant refs), plus a section on the experience of the Boards. As you say, this could include selections from the posts people have made about how they found it helpful(or not), and could also comment that one important poster had killed herself during the time, giving her name and making it a link to a page put together by whoever it was who volunteered to do this on their own site.
This could be put in context- suicide is a recognised action by people with psychological problems, so the fact that one of us took that option should not be such a surprise. The profound reaction to it could also be seen as an example of the trauma which is caused to others (however unintentionally) by a suicide- which is another reason to keep going and not take that choice.
I think a background page would be interesting anyway, as well as providing a forum for mentioning Sar.
