Oh, it would be! There would be a 25 post limit in order to post new topics there. If it becomes out of hand we may need to go further with it. We'd also have a strict no posting of your own site, service, book or anything you are receiving some incentive to endorse (i.e. paid reviews). If people were caught doing that they would be banned immediately.
So a place to review articles, sites, and services found upon the internet? It sounds good, but may need to be moderated 'cause people will try to spam non-good articles and link stuff there from their own website.
I don't think that makes a review invaluable either! You have to take any reveiw with a grain of salt. Getting to know people around the forums would be helpful too - if you know that person you can use that to help inform your opinion.
Are we going to stop doing website reviews because everyone has different opinions and what one person likes another person might not? Of course not.
The biggest problem is that people have different learning styles, what works for one may not for another ... so really a raving review for one may be complete crap for another. A classic example; IE and other browsers

Reviews of any kind are not something that's 100% guaranteed to satisfy anyone's needs. This forum (under my impression) is meant to help people and if a review or a recommendation of a web design book could help someone else, more power to them. As with any purchase, it's buyer beware, but if a little more information may be of help, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing.
Not a bad idea if people agree! It's also been sugested to have something to post good articles and other resources - we could combine the two ideas into one "resource library" area.
