Reason for Nomination: There are huge art communities out there, and its so hard to compete against them- but we try our best and our community is a friendly and helpful place to come and meet new friends and have your little bit of stage.
We recently released our new main site & have styled the forum to match the design.

Site Name: Admin Extra
URL: http://adminextra.com/forum
Description: Discussion & Resources for Online Community Administrators
Reason for Nomination: There are quite a few admin-related forums out there on the net, but I personally think that none of them offer quite the range of graphic resources, knowledgeable coders, fantastic interviews/articles and sheer friendliness of the memberbase that we do! :D

Description: Large avatar community

Reason for Nomination: We have a number of distinctive modifications made to our site, some imported and modified, others completely custom made. We have a full custom made avatar system, custom gold solution, trade system, shopping system and over 6,000 hand pixeled items. On the backend our email system handled FBL reports, the email system has been modified to allow for sending 50,000+ emails per hour for newsletters and we have detailed mod productivity reports. Our email unsubscription system is almost unheard of any vBulletin site. We've developed our own custom flash games for the site. We created our own system to greet and encourage new users to introduce themselves. Our signup process is completely custom coded and allows for extensive referral tracking. We run a heavily modified live topic system, have a wallpaper download section. The site currently has 75,000 members with over 7 million posts with an average of 5,000 new threads a month. With all of this we even have SMS and Paypal based contributions to the site using our own custom modifications. Our site is without a doubt one of the most heavily modified vBulletin powered boards out there.
