I like the idea in spirit, but it seems like it could get really convoluted. Even right now I am reading posts that seem to me that they belong on another board, but the thread itself is in the right place. If the suppor turns into discussion or debate, it seems sticky. And what would be the criteria?
Although another sight I've been to has a forum that is just for support. It seems pretty narrow in that it basically is a place for threads for virtual hugs and good wishes. That's nice to use, though when you just want to boost someone up or give them a hug when they are down. The supportive stuff here seems more related to specific needs and events, and thus seems more rich in content.
Ack, I don't know. Maybe an icon or something that could signal that the poster just wants support? I don't know.
I think it's a tough question.
Take care,
