Site Name: Gaming Voice
URL: http://www.gamingvoice.co.uk/forums/

Description: Gaming Voice is a new UK based videogame community, dedicated to letting it's users have their say on current events and future releases in the industry.

Reason for Nomination: I retired from being a webmaster more than 2 years ago, and didn't envisage returning.. I was quite enjoying my time away from the hassle of designing, coding and running a community. A couple of months ago, I was suddenly inspired to start working on something again - and Gaming Voice is the result.

The design is purposefully minimalistic and clean, for easy navigation. However, a lot of time and love has gone into it's conception - and it contains a good mix of available modifications from vbulletin.org, and custom code by myself. With a website on the way, I have a very good feeling about things.. :)

Free tattoo directory for anyone to add their details not just for shops but any tattoo related resource.

Custom coded rate my ink style plugin. under each picture in the album section is a star rating from 1 to 10. Also a picture rating page a la hot or not which allows people to rate hundreds of pictures very quickly and easily. This will soon be extended to be used for monthly competitions.

Many hours of work has been put into the different skins to ensure there is a skin which everyone will like. choice of 4 please check them out. Candy is my favourite

Now added blogs for any confirmed artists and mods and hoping to roll that out to everyone so that anyone wanting to share their experience of either getting tattood or tattooists wanting to show off their work can do it in blog format.

Site Name: ChattaBoxForums

Description: We are a new open minded general discussion forum with many topics for everyone's interests, created because I was fed up of overmoderated forums that ban people for having a un popular opinion.

Reasons for Nomination:

I have been working hard for months working on forums with PHPBB, my last one got destroyed by a hacker, so I started from scratch with Vbulletin it has been hard work so I would like my hard work rewarded with some publicity.
