Description: Social news site similiar to Digg and Reddit, but built upon the idea that the content that is the most interesting isn't necessarily the same as what everyone agrees with. Stories gain points through users doing what they would normally do while using a site (clicking links and leaving comments) and the ones that gain the most interest are promoted to the main page. If they continue to hold interest, they will stay higher on the page until the time weighted system slowly moves them down to allow more fresh content in. This fixes the "bury brigade" censorship that plagues Digg and Reddit.

Reason for Nomination: The entire site is implemented using vbulletin plugins. Not a single file change. Really shows the flexibility of the system.

Second this - great use of vB :)

Site Name: Zerotohundred.com
URL: http://www.zerotohundred.com
Description: The Automotive Enthusiasts' Network
Reason for Nomination:

I think it has a decent design for a vbulletin software.
I am especially proud of the mainpage.
Please allow time and let the main page load completely.
We have images resizing script to automatically resize the images to match the layout. It may be a little slow, but that's mostly because of our server maxing out during peak hours.

Zerotohundred.com have lotsa content and is pretty big with 52,000members as well. So it is well established.

Things to notice:
-Main page
-Navigation
-Forum home icons

Greetings, dotORGers!

I would like to submit, for your approval of course, The Rogue Forums, for BOTM.

Site Name: The Rogue Forums
URL: www.therogueforums.com
Description: General Discussion Community, offering discussion on Sci-Fi, Graphics, Gaming, Star Wars, Politics, Poetry, and much more
Reason for Nomination: Why, oh why? Because we are an ever-growing community, made up of wonderful members and excellent staff, just looking to make a name for ourselves.

Site Name: Women 2 Women
URL: www.mywomen2women.com
Description: A Womens Community
Reason for Nomination: I'm nominating this forum because the community is just awesome. There are support areas for women struggling with anything from the blahs to major depression. Digital Art tutorials and help. Parenting. Even prank groups where we do horrible things to each others avatars and titles. It's entirely member driven, even the the ads are for members only businesses.

I hope I did that right! Now to hope the forum gender bias doesn't kill our chances :D

Site Name: BarcaClub.net

Forum URL: http://www.barcaclub.net

Who Am I: I'm a 15-year-old developer and designer from Oman, I've always loved website designing and PHP scripting and I've always been a fan of vBulletin, I first knew vBulletin somewhere in 2002 and I've always dreamed to have a website of my own with a vBulletin forum to be my community solution, that dream came true in 2006 when I was able to pay bills for my site and my vBulletin license with the help of everyone who supported me.
Everything is designed by me and I'm happy with vBulletin, it made my site very successful.
I have some experience in PHP scripting language and MySQL database.
I would love to be nominated alteast once as the board of the month, I hope it can be true this time.

Description: Since it's inception it has evolved to become a fully fledged FC Barcelona internet community, run by its members to serve the members themselves.

BarcaClub.net is an independent website dedicated to FC Barcelona, and the main intension is to provide all the latest news, results, and information.

The aim of BarcaClub.net is to enable and promote global communication between FC Barcelona fans from around the world.

Since the start in 27 July 2006 as a focused FC Barcelona message board, BarcaClub.net have developed into encompassing a lot of other areas of interest to its members. In fact BarcaClub.net is essentially made and managed by its members, which means that it is ever evolving around what the members want and like.

Reason for Nomination: I think BarcaClub.net is different than the other soccer club websites, it makes you feel as if you are in the club itself and at the same time not only discuss about what's going on in the club, we also discuss about whatever we want.
This is a real community, with unlimited attachment uploads and several administrators who will keep the site running smooth 24 hours a day.

Aunt Clara 05-31-2007 05:25 PM

Site Name: Aunt Clara's Dominican Cooking / La Cocina Dominicana de T?a Clara

URL: http://www.dominicancooking.com / http://www.cocinadominicana.com

Description: Our site is dedicated to promote the Dominican culinary culture. With hundreds of recipes (all with photos), articles, tips and tricks and an active community we are by far the largest repository of information on Dominican cooking in any type of media. We opened five years ago and almost a year ago migrated the entire site from html to a heavily modified version of vBulletin that mimicked the old structure of our site.

Both our sites (one in English, one in Spanish) share the same user database.

Reason for Nomination: It is a different site from your typical vBulletin forum. We have an active forum, but each section of the site is independent yet running on vB. It is mostly based on template modifications.

the skin is nice but the formatting is horrible. the blocks on one side are small the resolution is set huge.
