I think enabling post count, like many has said before this, is a double-edged sword. Yes, people will probably come and post something, but the invariable troll will also be here as well.. Personally, I kinda like the pace here. Just nice for me...

Anyways, I do agree on having a "red alert" banner at top announcing book club's existence. But I suggest having that "announcement" banner not only announcing our subforum, but also some activity that we have here. Maybe something on a smaller scale first (as opposed to the "contest" idea), let's just have a book-swap first? Something like, each of us create a (reasonable) book wish list, then we pair up with another person, and the pair needs to get the book for the other person, something like that.

I believe the "book review" thing is already going on. We are already sharing our opinions on books etc, just that we don't have a proper thread, a standard that we follow for reviewing books (thumbs up, star rating system?). I think the books discussion we have now is more interactive, compared to reading a whole review..

Chibi> Hey good idea. Want to contribute?

Everyone else can make some too, we'll pick later and use the best one?
