That pretty much covers it for me. I want a forum entry discussing each article and not have multiple articles discussed in one thread. I preferred if even the first poster makes a quick summary or comment on the contents.

On the other hand, a designated "post the article" person isn't a bad idea. I know I have been caught in commenting on a cool article, only to find that 3 other people posted with the exact same time stamp. Having an "official thread starter" for the new articles will cut down some of the disjointed discussions that happen when a couple of threads get combined that cover the same article.

That sounds like a fine house rule.

I am not sure if we can "burden" someone with the task and expect him to always do it.

What I'd like was a "standardized" format for the thread title, so it's easier to find and search, and it also helps people avoiding double posting the threat.

Maybe something like:
Dragon [insert number] - [insert article name].

I am not sure what to do about free articles. In Theory, they are not Dragon or Dungeon articles, so WotC - [insert article name] might suffice.
