Aug. 20, 2025: Temporary Message Board Closure

The company hosting the message board sprung a surprise price hike on me that would have more than tripled the monthly hosting costs, so I've been scrambling to find an alternative. I've purchased a license for self-hosting a different platform and am hiring a consultant to migrate the existing board's content (posts, user profiles, etc.).

However, this means I need to shut down the message board for anywhere from 3 days to (hopefully less than) a week so the data can be migrated. While this is an expensive proposition up front, it should result in some long-term savings.

The current message board will be closed down at some point this Saturday, August 23. I will post updates here. The main site (where you are reading this), will NOT be affected.

-Dan

This is a list of the top 100 highest rated CDs here at Heavy Harmonies, of those that have received 10 or more votes. This list is not updated in real time, meaning that ratings are only updated when the list is recompiled.

NOTE: The rating system has completely changed. It is now based on a score from 0 to 100. Only one vote per user counts towards the average rating; subsequent ratings simply change their existing rating.
