I'm excited. My list is done. I've already written up the blurbs for a few songs. My first update will be tomorrow!

[Owl]

I would do one, if I knew how.

[Jeiboy]

My list is done but rushing the graphics and the write ups will be an on the spot as I update...

[Rominho.]

i'll start to do it now.

[potent]

I wanna do one but I'm too lazy to count up the points and all that ****. I think I'll just put them in a (somewhat) random order.

[Dj.]

I NEED THIS

[Red]

Thank you. Seriously, thank you. This one hour down time may actually give me a chance to finish some of my homework.

(Hopefully.)

I'm 99.9% sure of my Top 2. The crucial thing now is to choose which song gets the .

I wonder whose countdown will be the first on being opened. I remember on the 2009's Best-of edition Flashing Lights's countdown was the first one. I'm not sure about the 2010 Best-of edition, though.

I can't decide at the awesomeness of my top two

And just a question. Do I have to, like sign-up to someone so that I could join are something like that?

Do you mean like having an special permission? No. Anyone can open a Best-of thread, but there are three rules that are essential.

1. You cannot open more than 1 thread.
2. Your lists are about your decisions, so requested countdowns are automatically closed.
3. (My favorite rule) Do not just rate a countdown, COMMENT IT!

Your countdown, your decisions.

I'm excited, it's my first year doing this.

[CoS]

I'll probably start with a recap of the Top 10s of 2009 & 2010 and after finals, I'll start with my Top 60 Songs of 2011. Supposed I'm still deciding on the graphics...

And even with Watson no longer officially an admin, this rule will be enforced this year, as it has every year. For more rules and info, here are five important things TC pointed out when opening the forum last year:

1. It's your countdown
You get one thread per year; that's it. No one else gets to vote on your countdown, period. Your thread is all about you.

2. Start with an intro
Use your first post to tell us what you're going to do. Are you going to list your top songs, singles, videos, or albums of the year... or your favorite artists, concerts, TV shows, movies, actors, video games, books, whatever else? It's all up to you. Let us know first, and get into the actual list later.

3. Don't post all at once
The most important part! You want to post your countdown(s) in installments over the span of about 2 to 3 weeks. 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
Nobody cares about your list if you don't tell us why you chose what you chose. 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's threads. Reply with your comments, along with a crazy random picture or anything else to let them know you're supporting them. That's most of the fun in this. You can't just post "7/10" or whatever. You need to tell them what you liked! Be supportive; it's the holidays, dammit!

Im so excited too! I hope my list doesn't flop!

ATRL closes in about 30 minutes. And the Best of forum itself will open in about two hours.
