Suggestion Solved: Book Review Forum

[ScubaDocER]

Would it be worth it to create a forum designed to comment on books related to diving? A fiction and non fiction section? An educational section? A medical section? etc. Or would this complicate things. There are times when I would love to know of a good book on decompression procedures and theory or just a great book on fish id in the Caribbean. A book forum may be a great place to discuss these issues. Like an online book club.

I will make the first non-suggestion. Shipwreck Hunter, by Gerald Volgenau. the book is about Dave Trotter's team, and one of the divers get's bent. Book is over priced and the story go's nowhere.

With the option of possibly reviewing dive related DVDs?

I like the idea of a book forum as well. It would help in selecting references and a valuable resource for students. As long as we don;t let Tonka97 like reviews take it over!

I like this idea and think there is enough interest in diving books to make a forum out of it. I am a diving bibliophile and though my collection is full of older books I would like to keep up with newer books that other readers find interesting.

Sounds as if the idea had some momentum, but died some where along the way. Guess it's up to the powers that be to make it happen.

No, not at all- it's up to the membership-

See this FAQ- ScubaBoard - Frequently Asked Questions: General Forum Usage

If enough members ask for the forum the staff will be happy to create it. If the rrquest dies with only a few folks chiming in then the staff asumes there won't be enough support for a new forum.

So if you like the idea- post here and say so!
