I nominate the following two vBulletin sites:

http://forums.nycmaximas.org - Very busy site for a local auto community of Nissan Maxima Enthusiasts in the NYC/Tri-State area.

http://forums.guyanapride.org - Newly launched site, going official in January 1st, 2007. A common meeting place for all Guyanese in the United States.

I just built this site, took me about three days, had some help here and there, but most of it was done by me. I'm no coder or programmer, but I've been learning as I go thanks to great resources like this site and others. This is my third site, and I think I just keep getting better every day.

Reason for Nomination: Not built by a coder, programmer, etc., but buy a photographer who's learned from many coders, programmers, etc., and by helpful people here on Vbulletin.org, Vbulletin.com, Vblogetin.com, TheVBGeek.com, VBGreece.com, VBhacks.com, VBskinworks.com, VBmodder.com, VBadvanced.com, PhotoPost.com, Photoplog.com, Vbseo.com and every VB site out there...thanks for all the help. Without any of of the sites mentioned and others, along with the community of folks at each site, I'd have no ability to have accomplished what I've done so far in three days. Site publically launched Christmas Eve 2006, late.

While the site is not totally completed, it's not "underconstruction" either as it's totally fully functional right now. Check it out, vote for it I hope! Thanks again to everyone for their help, advice and more. Happy Holidays, rg sends!

Site Name: Desi-Forumz.com
URL: www.desi-forumz.com
Description: Indian TvShows, Music, Movies, Chit Chat, Sports
Reason for Nomination: I have Made whole forum Creative with Different hacks and own code..

Site Name: Traders Laboratory
URL: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/
Description: Financial forum for traders and active investors. We focus on futures, stocks, option, and forex.
Reason: We have taken a different approach in starting a forum. Our initial goal was to make our site more than a forum and interactive as possible. We feature articles sections, charts, videos, and chat rooms. We also host live chat seminars on trading. We have recently partnered up with a financial news firm and interviews can be streamed via our site through our audio player.

This is my first forum and website ever. I managed to make it without any coding knowledge so still shocked how I came up this far. We have managed to reach the 1,000 member mark this month within 5 months of launch. We are a revenue sharing board with adsense and also through amazon for those who write book reviews.

Reason for Nomination: I built this site, took me about eight years, yep, been at it since 1999 and still at it. First had Matt's old CGI forum script then as we grew Ubb, then said I was going to something much better and made the switch to VBulletin--best decision I ever made and I'm not sure why I waited so long. I've had some help here and there, but most of it was done by me--all blood, sweat and tears. In 1999 I didn't even know what HTML was, though I've learned the hard way, self-taught while raising five kids and working full time.

The hardest part was six years ago, Dec. 28th, while my wife had her feet in stirrups delivering our first child between us after losing what would have been our first son, in utero the year before, I as on the with the FBI (pre-9/11) and at the time Interland security teams as we were seriously hit by a hacker and a DOS attack. While I was on a four-way phone call with them, after about a week the individual that caused all the problems was arrested, in all places, Lousianna. So I can honestly say blood, sweat and tears have been put in this website.

In March 2006 I took a chance and changed the name to what it is today, originally it was called GarageGlamour and dedicated to those who work full-time to pay their bills while persuing their passion in the photographic arts, much like Paul Allen the co-founder of Microsoft who plays in a "garage band" called Grown Men. The name change didn't hurt us, but it hasn't been easy. We were able to maintain our #1 rank with Google.com under "glamour photography" that we've enjoyed for almost six years now, among other key search terms.

While I'm no coder or programmer, I've been learning as I go thanks to great resources like this site and others. This was my first site and I'm up to three, but I'm happy to be away from that 2400 baud modem and using broadband now, makes one heck of a difference and we all just keep getting better every day. I dedicate this nomination to my wife and children that have "missed" their dad when I bury myself in my "puter" room.

Not built by a coder, programmer, etc., but buy a photographer who's learned from many coders, programmers, etc., and by helpful people here on Vbulletin.org, Vbulletin.com, Vblogetin.com, TheVBGeek.com, VBGreece.com, VBhacks.com, VBskinworks.com, VBmodder.com, VBadvanced.com, PhotoPost.com, Photoplog.com, Vbseo.com and every VB site out there...thanks for all the help.

Without any of of the sites mentioned and others, along with the community of folks at each site and here, I'd have no ability to have accomplished what I've done so far in almost nine years. Site publically launched March 7, 1999 as www.garageglamour.com then the name changed on March 2006.

Check it out, vote for it I hope! Thanks again to everyone for their help, advice and more. Happy Holidays, rg sends!
