Now that the ability to add your own top 20 releases to your profile page has been added, I think we can retire using this thread. I will, but I don't know about the rest of you, whether you wanna keep using it or switch to the new feature.

August 20, 2022 04:39 PM

On this subject, I'm working on a top 100 metal albums list, but I want to provide commentary for each entry.  Is there a special place where I can create a separate thread and post a few at a time until it's done over the course of a few days so people have albums to talk about for each post?  Or is the general chat section good?  I plan on doing this the same way people on Movieforums post their top 100 movie lists, and I'm doing it this way on Metalforum too.

I think you are probably best starting a new thread under the general chat tab, Rexorcist.


August 20, 2022 07:45 PM

Sweet.  I'm really hoping the conversation around here gets lively enough because of it.  I've got a lot to say about my top 100.  I should be able to post it either tomorrow or the day after.

I'd suggest using our LISTS functionality for this as you can create an attractive & easy to navigate view of the list & also add commentaries. We already have a thread in the General forums for people's Top 25 releases of all time so I'd probably use that for any conversation.
