Similar to what oliver2002 shared about the LH forum, we try to do similar with the AA forum.
We do have specific threads for all of the AA hubs and focus cities, including some that aren't necessarily either but have a great interest (CDG comes to mind). Occasionally the conversation will stray beyond AA, and we allow that to some extent. But when it evolves in a totally separate direction (such as what type of jeep tour for Sedona that began in a thread about PHX), then I'll split it off and move to the appropriate forum.
Also as oliver2002 shared, we have some passionate users who report threads/posts that belong elsewhere. One of us will take a look and see which forum is the best place for the post.
A great example is transiting between NYC airports, for between them and town. I just noticed a thread with someone asking questions about getting between airports last week. I found the appropriate threads in the NYC forum, and referred the user there.
I'd be happy to discuss anything specific to the AA forum, and I'm certain my co-moderators would also.
