One of our forum regulars, mrchuckles, has suggested that the new users should be allowed to download the first ten of the ebooks. He has also provided valid reasons to support his suggestion.

Quote from his post :

One, it will act like a “teaser” or a “free-trial version” of the forum, so that people won’t give up on the five posts. And two, it will give people who had never read the books before coming to this sight, (like me), something to discuss in their first five posts.

I’m already in the process of implementing this. Hope it works out well.

Update : This has been implemented. New users can download the first ten Animorphs e-books(in PDF format) from this topic: http://animorphsfanforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=49

But to access the rest of the ebooks(11 – 54, as well as the Chronicles, Megamorphs and Alternamorphs) to need to have a minimum of 5 posts in the forum.
