I am making a few changes going forward.

I am now using Thursday as the update day instead of Sunday - I also want to get back to calculating the results while putting up the next topic. As such, the deadline will be 8 in the morning, so plan to get your votes in by Wednesday night. Thursday should work better for me, and I think it is probably best to give people the full weekend to listen instead of having the change happen during the weekend.

Secondly, I am going to make this the last user cycle. I want to get back to the first era where it felt like every album was something notable. I feel too many of us have been forcing through obscure favorites and while it's occasionally fun, it gets exhausting when we go several weeks in a row with nothing familiar. I have also eliminated the competitive rounds to get to the new phase faster.

I am not sure what the replacement will be. Right now, I'm leaning toward gathering a short list each month and then having us rank that short list; the top 4 (or 5) point earners will be that month's albums.

I would prefer to make this change now, but we have already determined the next two albums; how do others feel? Should we go through the next cycle and put off the change for half a year? Or should we make the change now?
