You can try tex.stackexchange.com, a stack stack-overflow-like site 
dedicated to TeX. There are a few ConTeXt related posts there. I find it 
good for small questions, but it does not allow you to attach files, so it 
is limiting.

Moreover, the support on any forum or mailing list is only as good as its 
members. The good thing about the context mailing list is that the ConTeXt 
developers and power users read it, and reply to questions. Unless the 
same happens for online forums, they will have limited utility.
