Really the only disappointment is that the magazine is so often overlooked as an incubator for discussion. Finding a way to stimulate discussion of the many fine articles would be a major improvement.
In addition to the discussion forum here, perhaps ifthe article author's started a "Discuss and review: Article XXXX" thread in the appropriate strategy forum, that would help. There's usually good discussions for books when that happens.
It would be best if the discussion could happen here in the magazine forum rather than in the strat forums. Perhaps this could be done for a while with stickies (understanding that the mods have a general distaste for stickies).
The Magazine and the Magazine forum probably get a decent amount of lurker traffic. This traffic may or may not venture to the strat. forums as often as the read the magazine. The strat. forums can be implicitly unwelcoming to casual readers or lurkers as they're filled with a lot of insider type banter, jargon and low content replies.
The Magazine and Mag. forum have always struck me as being more information rich, more helpful and lower in fluff. The Mag. forum strikes me as a natural gateway to bring in other poker strategy oriented 2+2 members.
Should most of the magazine get discussed in strat forums it seems like some continuity is lost and the discussion can fall under the sway of some of the less attractive features of the 2+2 community.
