I think Keaton gave an excellent example of what is not fitting.
I remember when I would pull up "New Posts" and find more game threads (not Japanese made or related) than on web sites for just that purpose.

I see quite a lot of benefit to posts about countries other than Japan, but only as they relate to Japan. If I want a more in-depth discussion of another country (Korea and China, in my case), there are plenty of other sites on the net that are more appropriate.

What I see no point to are threads completely devoted to clearly non-Japanese topics cluttering up the main topics. They are fine off in Chat or somewhere that I can eliminate from my browsing, unless I am in the mood for them.
