I have added a new component today that allows me to flag certain articles, whether they are a news article or a feature article and allow users to discuss them in the forums.
When a new message is posted that has the forum discussion flag on it, the system will create an abbreviated version of the article as the initial forum thread starter named "Article:" and the article name. Inside the starter thread is a link to read the full article if you want.
A user can choose to participate in the discussion either in the article database or here in the forums. A user can read the discussion either in the article database or here in the forums. This should allow for some lively discussions about a number of issues.
Enjoy!
