Welcome to ATRL's Best of 2018! It's the most wonderful time of the year, and it's time for you to give us your best. You are invited to share all of the music, entertainment, and moments that defined your year. Guidelines for Best of 2018: 1. It's your show You get one thread per year to share your stuff. No one else gets to vote on your lists and countdowns, your thread is all about you. 2. Start with an intro Use your first post to tell us what you're going to do. Will you list your top songs, singles, videos, albums, artists, concerts, TV shows, movies, video games, whatever? It's all up to you. Let us know first, and get into the actual list later. 3. Don't post all at once You want to post your countdown(s) in installments. For example, if you have one list of 50 songs, post it in daily blocks of 5 or so. The suspense makes things interesting. 4. Use words and pictures Your thread will be more fun to follow if you put some effort into it. Describe every item on your list with at least a full sentence. If you add pictures and graphics, that's even better. 5. Actively participate We encourage you to support each other. Reply with your comments to let them know you're reading. If someone is taking the time to read your thread, try and return the favor. Be supportive and have fun. 6. Limited time only This year, the Best of 2018 forum will be open until January 21st, 2019. Finish up before then! If you need inspiration, take a look at ATRL's Best of 2017!
