As the cover nears closing on another decade of life, I was reminiscing. Over the years, quite a number of words has appeared on TD. The vast majority worth as much as the ink used to make them. Other posts and threads, especially on the OT, have had a harming value. Surely more than one reader of the OT has been lead astray by an evildoer post. The meanness some have shown others has likely led to depression in some, perhaps even suicide in others. The licentious, lustful posts have likely caused others to fall into temptation's wicked clutch, perhaps irreparably injuring a marriage or preventing a relationship from flourishing. Such degrading, at times, is celebrated.

But a new day has dawned here, and I am grateful for all the love and virtue I've seen exploding through the pages of late. In that spirit, I wanted to share with you TulaneLSU's Top 10 Threads of the 2010s. These are only my threads. I do not pretend to make the claim that my threads are the greatest; it's just simplest for me to share my own. I would be thrilled if you made a list of your own top 10 threads and shared them with us.

Unfortunately, many of my very best threads have been retired and are no longer accessible unless you have access to the Classics Board. Here are the ten best that remain. Some of these have more content than the entirety of certain posters 100,000 posts.

Due to the overwhelmingly positive reception of the Christmas Pilgrimage series, I will be publishing TulaneLSU's Advent Pilgrimage: 24 Days of Devotion, Stories, and Top 10 Lists through one of the many online publishing companies, tbd. I seek no profit. Some of you will receive a free copy. All others will be allowed to purchase at printing cost, which I expect will be under $5.

I hope to make a book that is as stylish on its outside as informative and edifying on the inside. A book that looks as good on your coffee table as on your night stand. In order to do this, I need your help.

Could one or multiples of you artists make me a book cover?

I would like it to be very classy. A Christian motif would be nice. The title is TulaneLSU's Advent Pilgrimage: 24 Days of Devotion, Stories, and Top 10 Lists, which needs to be included.

The winning artist will be rewarded with a special thank you in the book. Thank you.
