I think this might be a reasonable idea. The added value proposition in my mind is already that you will be moving questions that are posted as new threads into those support forums, making it easier for the vendor to see them.

But, I can also see what [USER=8]@Necere[/USER] is saying. And, why would anyone even post to those specific forums if they have a good (probably even better) chance of getting their question answered in the main case thread anyway? Also, who does it help to split up questions like that? Do users benefit in any way? Wouldn't it make sense to allow questions in the build thread so a question will reach all the people who have that specific case?
For me, I would benefit from this. I currently unwatched the S4 thread because there are so many questions and I'm only interested in seeing announcements about new versions of the case. But I think I'm in the minority with this use-case.

Geekhack has a vendor support forum system like this as well, but I don't know how well it works out for them.
