I think I use only a slightly more loose definition, in which you (and by extension, rfrench) would be in my tribe. I never really use that term specifically, though, but have used "chosen family" for similar. The trust and help parts are key - totally agree there. And even though I consider a few people in my tribe who are far away (such as y'all), I figure if there is something I can do, I will, or if I was closer, other help would definitely be more available. (And don't take this as a need to reciprocate if you don't consider similarly - no indirect communication is being attempted here. ;-)
I haven't ever really considered Community in the sense you define. It's harder for me to feel involved in that way. I generally have Acquaintences, Friends, or Tribe. I guess it applies, though. I've just never looked at it that way. Maybe I am antisocial. :-)
