Both Nice sites, seconded!:)

I would like to second these two forum/websites please. I think the graphics work on these two sites is very good, or at least very themed towards your website. I really appreciate your effort.

2 of the others in this list have servers down or time out issues, sorries.

Site name: Capper's Lobby

Site URL: www.capperslobby.com

Description: This is a sports handicapping forum. It is the place, not only to talk sports, but to give your opinion.

Reason for Nomination: We want to have the best looking handicapping forum on the web. Also, we would love to hear what others have to say about it. Still working on some things.
Thanks for consideration. ;)

Site Name: RoadKill Cafe Counterstrike

URL: http://rkccs.com

Description: We are a popular gaming community for Counterstrike players, with 3 active servers. We have a completely customized board, with quite a few 'designed-by-us' aspects, such as our Admin List and Regs List pages (links are at the top).

Reason for Nomination: The forum skin is unique to our site, as i designed the skin myself, as well as a matching CP skin. i have customized many aspects of the board, including a nearly full-scale replacement of the original default vb images (based off the army-green images by breaker) (a select handful, such as yellow/red cards, remain default).

We have also added and customized a 2nd skin for those who like the darker boards, as well as a choice to use the vB Default skin if the user prefers. we currently have only 11 members NOT using our custom designed skin.

Site Name: CompleteGFX.com

URL: http://www.completegfx.com/

Description: We strive to provide web masters of all experience levels with low-cost, high-quality web designs and forum templates, while providing superior customer support. Our site is dedicated to support, production of our products, and professional services. We provide professional designing services, template conversions, and upgrades. Our site is unique and our design was meant to "stand out" from the rest. At CompleteGFX.com we offer free skins, such as the popular dark_vb_v2 style showcased on this site.

Reason for Nomination: CompleteGFX is committed to taking all steps of development in a professional manner. With a growing forum base and services, we are tempting to have professional tutorials and articles for everyone, not just customers.

Site Name: StarCraft 2 Battle

URL: http://www.sc2battle.com

Description: An unofficial Starcraft 2 fan site containing latest news, discussion, and videos. This is my 2nd vbulletin forums and still trying to improve and add more plug-ins.

Reason for Nomination: This website is still fairly new and the theme fits Starcraft perfectly. I am sure we have a lot of gamers here would like to find out more about Starcraft 2!

Site Name: WebArea - Romanian Webmaster community

URL: http://www.webarea.ro

Description: Although the site is pretty new(4 months old) Webarea is a romanian webmaster community which contains topics/posts about programming/design/SEO and marketing guidelines. It is one of the few serious webmaster communities in romania where even beginner webmasters can seek help from expert users. Every user is just as much respected as the moderators/admins.

Reason for Nomination: I have the same dream as every vbulletin owner's dream which is to have a big and solid community with quality posts and spam reduced to minimum. In my opinion the moderating staff at webarea ar as active as they can get, around 25% of the daily posts are erased because they just don't fit the forum's standards. In my opinion my forum is pretty much unique in its way:the design is used on about two more sites(1 vbulletin(the guy who made the skin split) and 1 phpbb(a friend recoded the skin for phpbb). We have active revenue sharing on the forum and lots of mods are installed and lots of functions are powered by AJAX(we love ajax). Although the website is a webmaster community we like having fun and having a good time just like any person on earth, thats why users have the chance to change their moods, or post funny topics. The moderating team isn't too soft on the community but not too harsh either(we dont want the time spent on the forum be like in army)

Site Name:
NewsForum.com

URL:
www.NewsForum.com

Description:
NewsForum.com is a fairly new community designed for discussion of all the latest news headlines and hot topics.

Reason for Nomination: Our goals are to bring several news sources and opinions together into one place so that all sides of a story can be heard, allowing members to draw their own conclusions.

We have tried to keep the design as simple and fast loading as possible, yet still keep the "news" theme intact.
