At this stage I haven’t seen anyone mention anything about converting to BuddyPress ‘Group Forums’

With some theme customization you could make it appear that you have two lots of forums by putting each into their own ‘parent category’ and using shortcodes to only display each ‘category’ in specific areas of your site.

The other way is to go WordPress Multisite and have a separate site for your ‘support’ side of things.
