Just wondered if anyone would like to give me some feedback on this.
I seem to remember back in the day that this forum had a book exchange thang goin' on. And I wasn't part of it, nor did I really pay attention to it, but I'm starting to think it'd be a really nice idea to start up again.
To be honest, I'm not really sure what this means, nor what it entails. I've got some positive feedback from other mods, and so figured you guys, active participants in this forum, I guess, who might be interested, might have ome good ideas.
I'm going to quote Rat Face now (I hope she doesn't mind...)

Now I have also herd 2 versions of book swaps, one where you are just sending the books to be borrowed, and then they are sent back to the original person. Or one where your just exchanging books.
Its up to you how detailed you want to be. You can have people post books they have to get rid of, or a list of books they want, or a list of book subjects that intrest them, and match them to a person simular.
I would recommend making a list of subjects people want books on.
And then you can also detail if its people giving away books they already have, or people going out and buy used or new books for their partner.
Yes there was a book swap, back in the day, in the Library room i think it was called then.
As for problems, it goes just the same as any exchange, with deadbeat traders, or those who send late, or lost packages. That all happened in the Secret Santa exchange I did. it's just a risk people take. But here it is a bit differant cause we are a community of people who knows one another.
Like I have never traded with Rubyrage, but known her well enough around here to know she would send to me and not rip me off.
So that is a plus, unless newbies come in to sign up.
So yeah, thats my input.
