Yeah it's a pretty good idea. It'd need moderators though. It should have a bit of a guideline too. Like a post requirement that I see on other forums. For example replying to at least 1 or 2 other posts before posting your own. That way everyone gets a reply. I've moderated/co-admined at 1 or 2 ezboard forums in the past that enforced this rule. The only flaw with it is that sometimes people see the replies more as a chore than a informative critique and as a result try and give half ass responses like "Well that was pretty cool." or "I didn't really like it." which makes it sound like they never even really listened to it just pretended to to have the necessary reply. That is where moderators would have to come in to make sure that the replies are actually informative and show that the work was indeed given a good listen. This will encourage more posting and create a positive environment for the posters in that forum. Also there would have to be made known the fine line between negative/constructive critism and border-line insults. Great idea I'll have more to say later.

Asta!!
