What came to mind when reading your post is to set a personnal objective (learn such surahs, improve such thing) to accomplish before a set date (like 1 year, or 3), a long one so that regular efforts will be necessary and then we only up the thread on the specific date thus many will participate in the challenge bi idhnillah, with the whole internet being witness to our pledges : that should motivate the weak-ones like us. Dunno what other people think about it.
