"Story Hour+" in General DiscussioN?

I know that Piratecat and Rel get away with doing their "Running Commentary" threads because they're talking about the rules they manipulate along with the story and all.

But now I notice that "Sandboxing the Nethir Vale" has basically turned into the Story Hour with some Rule Comments thread too.

So I'm wondering if repeating this general trend is ksoher, putting it int eh General Forum, or if those thread should stay for notoriety but new ones should not?

My take on the issue is that if the thread is intended to report, gather opinions about and discuss GMing techniques then it's fine in General, regardless of whether there is a story component to it. We see lots and lots of theory discussed in that forum (which is what is intended and is great). The more we can see how such theory was applied, and get reports about how it worked in practice, the better as far as I'm concerned.
