Heads up! It's almost time to say goodbye to 2024, which means it's almost time to say goodbye to threads that focused on 2024. You know, the ones dedicated to a brewery, region, activity, and whatnot with "2024" in the thread title. How It Works: On Tuesday, December 31, I'll be automagically locking threads down at around 21:00 PST / 24:00 EST. After this mass lockdown, everyone is free to create new threads as needed. New Thread Requirements: These threads stick around for an entire year, so we expect all thread starters to kick them off properly. Don't be lazy. Add " (2025)" at the end of the thread's title. For brewery threads: Make sure you include some form of informative intro to kick off the thread. Feel free to have fun with it. You don't need to replicate information found on the brewery website or social media (like hours of operation), but you should include a link to its listing on BA, website, and social media. For posting pics threads (hauls and whatnot): lead by example; include a pic. For appreciation/tastings/review threads: include the guidelines for participation in the thread + a review and pic. Again, lead by example. Setting expectations will greatly help with participation. Failure to follow the above may result in the thread being removed by the mod team, allowing someone else to kick the thread off properly. Don't take it personally. If a thread needs to be locked, or was locked by mistake, please report it for review by the mod team. Questions? Let me know. Thanks in advance for helping us kick off another round of annual threads!
Thanks for the effort, in the middle of the night, or is it 7:00 AM! Looking forward to at least a certain 2025 thread. Add one or two. And seasonal, and weekly, and daily...
Done. Just locked down hundreds of "2024" threads, as well as over 3,000 threads that haven't been replied to in over a year or so. Here's to new threads and great discussions in 2025! Kippis!
