Metafilter seems to have a fair amount of success with this strategy ("take it to meta"), but often it requires the moderators to intervene and remove a few comments. I suspect that having active moderators and a clear procedure for handling "off-topic" posts is key.

Do it algorithmically like a flag -- if enough people click "move to meta" it gets moved automatically.
