I cannot put this book down, I am obsessed with it. For a classic it’s surprisingly easy to read, I struggle less than with Wuthering Heights or Frankenstein but maybe it is because I started to get used to older English ?? Idk

im sure this is gonna be good but how does a book with ~200 pages have 88 chapters .

Hello everyone! I hope this post does not come off as rude or nit-picky, please bear with me. I started using Pagebound a few weeks before the app was released, but then stopped for a bit because life got busy. I've finally started using it frequently again (so many new and awesome users!) and have noticed that forum etiquette seems to be...lacking (I make these comments based on the pinned club post that details forum etiquette). I find my feed full of forum posts saying things like "no way" or "from 0%...so excited to finally start this!" I find this to be the opposite of what Pagebound is meant to be --- ENGAGING. I understand forums to be a space for conversation, analysis, and sharing impactful excerpts, but that doesn't seem to be how they're used by a lot of people. Sometimes I see posts on books that I read a few months or a few years ago and I'd love to connect with people that are currently reading them, but I just have nothing to comment on their posts because they are so vague.

I know it does not make sense for forums to be "monitored" (for lack of a better word), so I'm just wondering...are these short comments becoming the new normal for forums? I understand that as an app grows and more users join it becomes hard (impossible) to regulate things like this. What are your thoughts on forums and forum etiquette?

Edit: Thank you to everyone commenting their thoughts on this! I love reading everyone's opinions, even if I don't have the energy to reply to all of them. There seems to be a consensus of not engaging, which I understand; it is a nuanced situation. I also appreciate the love for memes, haha. I'm glad this was able to stimulate some discussion and hopefully other users find the thoughts here helpful (I know I did😄).
