re: Book 1 of 2... new feature on Pending page

Thanks John. I think it is wonderful that you are continually trying to find ways to make BookMooch even better - this sounds like a great idea!

Huh! Well, you know what they say, any publicity is good publicity! Keep up the great work with BookMooch, John :)

re: Wishlist griping

@Cara - nice ideas, thank you for sharing them with us. Yes, for those who didn't know already, Cara does a great job amending the Angel page for us every few weeks.

@Robin - thanks for your initiative with the "vacationing" project....I should let you know, however, that I've had one rejection and two acceptances from some of those "inactive" members, so please be sure to mooch only with points that you can afford to lose :)I won't cancel my requests of those members - perhaps sending books to me will get them being more active again!

Have a great day everyone.

re: Wishlist griping

Cara, I just mooched 10 Dan Brown books from inactive members...we'll see. If I have a bunch of Dan Brown books in my inventory this spring, we'll know how well it worked lol :)

I picked people who had been inactive for 100+ days, and who had more han just a few books listed in their inventories.

If it works, I'll do 10 or so every couple of weeks.

re: Wishlist griping

Thanks for your response, John, and for writing whenever you can. Posting on boards is incredibly time-consuming, and you are very busy.

I love the site, and I enjoy sending books as much as I enjoy receiving them. BookMooch is not my only avenue for obtaining my books, but it is certainly the most feel-good one. Thanks for all you do :)

re: Charitable Fund for Angels

Re-posted from the LT forum:

Good Morning!
I HATE posting things before I give things alot of thought - I am really much more of a "lurker" than a "poster" - but I just wanted to assure everyone that the doors are wide open in terms of how this program will work.

There have already been alot of valid points posted on both forums (such as, just off the top of my head, the need to accomodate the different kinds of Angels, the need to help the Angels who need it the most, the suggestion that a message board or forum thread be used for tracking, etc.). There will be a few of us working on this program from the start, and I foresee the need for volunteers for gathering the data, brainstorming, and back-up - so there's a ways to go before things are set in stone.

Ideally, I'd like to rely on a modified "honour system" (we can't check everything), but with some safeguards against fraud. Please keep the ideas coming, and we'll do our best to see that things get underway a.s.a.p., and that there is transparency and fairness regarding point distribution.

Thanks for your enthusiasm and support :)

re: Charitable Fund for Angels

Hi Heather,
I think being an Angel on the official Angel List might be a place to start....otherwise, suggestions?

The Angels thank you, John, and also those who have donated points. Speaking of which, will go do that now....
