As someone pointed out however upthread, it can be spun both ways. The addition of some recent 'furrin' fora may be due to the fact that they were missing/needed and only now are the non-North American/non-UK fora catching up.
I was amazed for instance how long it took for FT to create an 'Airlines of India' forum. Until that time, the only place for comprehensive airline travel information was IndiaMike, which tends to have a different userbase and focus than FT.
I actually feel slightly guilty that we have derailed one thread from US-based to furrin talk, but it was one thread, and we aren't providing US-centric information which may mislead readers.
