Support Groups (human support, not technical support) for things like medical conditions (schizophrenia, HIV/AIDS), identity confusion (people who have not come out yet, gender reassignment), home and health issues (divorce, financial instability) - all the sorts of things that community often do not want leaking out into their advertising profile. These sites are often separately hosted precisely because people do not *want* to be using Facebook/Google profiles for these sorts of things. One can't always hide in the origin. -tom
