Site Name: Palmetto State Rivals (PSR)

URL: www.palmettostaterivals.com (redirect), forum.palmettostaterivals.com

Description: A forum for Clemson Tiger and South Carolina Gamecock fans to discuss everything from athletics to zip drives. One of only a couple of boards that caters equally to both schools' fanbases.

Reason for Nominating: We have successfully included many mods without detracting from the general flow of the board and without overdoing it. ;) We migrated last April to vB from phpBB. At over 700 members, without a formal recruiting process and without marketing ourselves through other sites, we are growing membership at a steady pace. By March we will also have a radio podcast integrated into the forums.

Second. Nice site, lots of traffic.

Site Name: Triathlon Week

URL: http://www.triathlonweek.com

Description: Free Triathlon training community featuring triathlon forums, articles, race calendars and more.

Reason for Nomination: Triathlon Week has been a VB board for several years. We recently switched domains from triweek to triathlonweek which caused our google traffic to go way down, but now we are seeing it go back up. I've worked hard on a custom skin and plugins for our users. Winning the BOTM would be a great honor for me.

Second. Nice site

Site Name: The Frienz Network

URL: frienz-network.com

Description: Gaming network with professional coders(C++,C,PHP,HTML,HEX) who work as hard as they can to provide a bugless gaming pleasure. See for yourself by joining one of our gaming servers. :) We have over 3,000 players on each gaming server.

Reason for Nomination: The Frienz Network first begun as a single gaming server with a lot of bugs back in 2005. The so called server was named 'FrienzMU'. After a few weeks of hard coding, we finally made our gaming server files bugless. More people were coming and our gaming server was hosted on a friend HomePC which couldn't support more than 80 players then, we added google ads. People started to click them so we had enough money to pay ourselves a dedicated server.[...]At the middle of 2006, we decided to make a network called 'Frienz-Network', we were aiming really high. We first started with MU Online, then Lineage II, then world of warcraft and finally Knight online. At the beginning, we were running on a HomePC with the following specs: P4, 2.8 GHz, 1GB Ram. Now, we have a lot of boxes, such as: Quad Xeon, 3.2 GHz, 8GB Ram, 1gb uplink. Our forum is currently hosted on a P4, 2GB Ram, 100mbps uplink.

Not sure if this is allowed but I third this one
