It is not on the same level as the others, or at least it shouldn't be. And I think doing so is incredibly dangerous.
I can't say for sure, but I would think that an individual thread would be more likely to get at least some response quicker than a post in one thread, which is surely what people want/need if they are feeling suicidal?
Edit: Just read your reply to Charlie. My personal opinion is that if you are feeling actively suicidal on a daily basis then you need to go see a professional, and fast. Posting on RYL probably isn't going to be enough for you, if your feelings are that intense. (Note that I am referring to the general you, not you personally.)
