Site Name: The Mego Museum
URL: http://megomuseum.com/community

Description: Companion forums for the The Mego Museum website, a decade-old spot on the web dedicated to collectors and enthusiasts of vintage 1970's Mego action figures. We were running on IkonBoard 2.2a for years and only recently upgraded to vBulletin, but have already added a lot of nice mods and have done a lot of customization to fit with our member's needs and wants. We offer several different styles, including one that almost perfectly emulates the old IkonBoard for those traditionalists among our group! We also hold an annual (real life) convention, print trading cards to promote the site, and more. We have close to a thousand members and have been adding new registrations daily since we switched to the much-more-robust vBulletin. We offer Arcade games for our members to play, a marketplace to buy, sell and trade their figures, a gallery to host images, and much more!

Reason for Nomination: We're really proud of our community and would like to show it off!

Site Name: GotTwinz?
URL: http://gottwinz.net/forums/index.php

Description: GotTwinz is a community for parents of twins. The board has been around for just under 2 years and is doing rather well. There are a lot of options available to paid members, which aren't available to regular registered members, though registered members do have a lot to choose from. GotTwinz is more than a message board, it quickly becomes an internet family to those who post there. There is also a yearly meeting held, last year was NYC, this year was Chicago and next year is Las Vegas.

Reason for Nomination: GotTwinz has come a long way and we are improving the site on a daily basis.

Description: The Political Asylum is a place for all kinds of people to discuss politics and current events. TPA strives to be unbiased and allow everyone to voice thier opinions while still being respectful of other posters ideals. The Political Asylum is a forum for intelligent debate.
Reason for Nomination: TPA is one of the few Moderated political based forums. It's doing rather well, and we strive daily to continue to improve it.

Site Name: TalkArizona.com - Arizona News Talk and Opinion Discussion Forums

URL: http://www.talkarizona.com/forums/

Description: This is a vBulletin based discussion forum for current events, political, religious, and family issues for the people of Arizona.

Reason for Nomination: While this site is fairly new, the community isn't. This is a new domain and software (impexed from SMF) upgrade from the previous domain havasutalk.com. This community has pulled together resources, time, and money (all on it's own) to improve it's 'real life' community by restoring a landmark flag in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. The community is also a very close community of people that talk about some very sensitive topics such as religion and politics, the very areas where other forums refuse to go. The board runs a very basic custom skin with a ton of commercial and free add-ons including photopost pro, vbclassifieds, vbAdvanced (vbalinks too!), zoints, hot-or-not, vbSeo, and many more.

This domain is still new and I have just started marketing it via flyers, ads, and more. There is much work to do, but I would like to recognize this community not only for the software used, but for the people of the forum.

Description: Virtual American Airlines is a site dedicated to simulating real world American Airlines operations, by using Microsoft's Flight Simulator software to allow it's members (pilots) to fly scheduled AA flights and subsequently accumulate flight hours.

Reason for Nomination: We at Virtual American Airlines strive on quality and this is clearly apparent by the way we maintain and operate our website. But what really sets us apart from the rest of the Virtual Airlines in the flightsimming community is our family-oriented environment. We have been together as a "family" since the year 2000. We originally started out as a Virtual Airline named AirPUERTORICO.

We then went through some changes and transitions, but throughout all these years, we have stayed together. I really hope you guys enjoy our website. Like I said before, we are all about quality and putting out the best that we have to offer.

Seconded.
