Hey all I'm the new guy here but I made something recently i wanted to share.
I made an Acclaimed Music Forums EOY, EOD, and OTHER lists on several compiled indexes. I thought having the End of Decade song and albums is a great treasure trove and then all the EOY lists also all together on the same page work nicely as well. I then took all the 2100+ non EOY threads in that section of the forum and alphabetized them.
I initially planned to copy and paste that data back into the forum but it doesn't copy and paste the hyperlinks (as you're likely aware). Hopefully having these pages up is a nice tool for navigating the forum easier and finding great lists off the sorted pages. If you have any recommendations or thoughts on it let me know. I know I know zilch about the history of the forum so I likely have the timeline observation completely wrong.
This is linked and part of my general list archiving project on the blog that includes a few others list sites to help find lists either and navigate (such as Rocklist or Discogs) to keep them online after they've departed (such as Listology or DJ History) .
Anyway I hope this effort is useful both to people on the forum and off of it.

Welcome to the forum, TheScientist!
By the way, Acclaimed Music has been around since 2001, but had a different forum until 2012.

Yup that's me. Haven't gone that book route. I really don't have the bug to write everything into a book although I am working hard to get as much of the project completed and to take the project more overground and outside of rym. Frankly a bit hard though.
