Yesterday I posted a thread about what foods do Canadians wish were imported to Korea. IMO, this concerns a) what foods Canadians miss from home while living in Korea b) which foods Canadians would like to see sold in Korea and c) which foods are not available in Korea at this time.

However, the thread was promptly moved to the Off-Topic Forum. Where does that thread belong?

I've also noticed a lot of "related to Korea" threads being moved to off-topic recently. Mods have some new criteria?

I would suggest that the topic, in and of itself, is ON_TOPIC for the general forum

BUT

having read the thread in question:
What imports from Canada do you yearn for?
http://forums.eslcafe.com/korea/viewtopic.php?t=124675

and seeing the answers, it CLEARLY went off-topic right from the start.

Maybe try again and the mods can edit/remove the off-posts posts to keep it on-topic rather than just bumping it to the off-topic forum.
