I think a variation like Style of the Month would be more appropraite for this site. A lot of people put a lot of time and effort into designing and implementing their styles and do not release them as they wish to keep them unique. Others may have commercial styles, but have also heavily modified them (mine changes every time I go into my ACP and it started out as a standard commercial one).

I think it is something that is more judgeable (if there even is such a word) as it can be rated on things such as ease of navigation, use of color, loading speed, and such like.

I fail to see the point of having this competition here as it stands. It's identicaly to vBulletin.com's.

It's not supposed to be identical as far as I'm aware. The BOTM is in its pioneering stages so I say give it time to develop.

- If doing a "normal" BOTM, i think it should stay where it is now, on vb.com. If w really want to have a similar contest, maybe merging the 2 might be a good idea: Nominate on both vb.com & vb.org., addup the nominees and create 1 list of boards that will enter the current month competition, and start a vote on that list on both sites. In the end, total the votes, and declare a global winner. Or some variation on this.
I like these 3 suggestions. :)

I do too, but apparently the descision was made to run a parallel contest to vb.com without a vote taken here by the general population to least make it somewhat democratic. Now we have the contest being led by someone who obviously has a biased interest in seeing their site win...very poor descision on the part of the org imho...and you folks know I'm not one to complain here.

I also want to say I have nothing personal against The Chief and I think it's great he is passionate about his site...there just needs to be some assurance the contest will be run in an unbiased fashion to make it legit since it's going to be held.

Wow. I didn't realize (he) nominated his own site. That is a conflict of interest. If there was an independent judging panel, as I had suggested earlier (in this thread) to do, provided by the staff then that would have been a different story.

All I can say again is 'Wow'.

As mentionned in the BotM Guidelines: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=117841. Nominees will be chosen by two people: Me and Ntfu2. "If" one has made some misjudgements, or like you say has had a conflict of interest, the other person will discuss about this with them.

If some of you are thinking I have put all my time into this for the sake of winning the BotM you are completely wrong. It's pretty sad to see people actually thinking that...

I would also find it would be more of a pride winning here then on vb.com.

Let me know what you people think?

Thanks :)
A very good idea.

Okay, then why bother nominating your site...just award it...same thing and you obviously aren't seeing why that is a conflict of interest...have fun with your contest.

Dan 06-07-2006 06:42 PM
smacklan, did you even bother reading the rules yet? I've yet to see anyone second their nominations, and then they can't "rig" the votes as it will be done with a POLL.
