Had to go with vBSEO. While I am impressed with vbHackers, the net of it is its still a copycat of VB.Org. All the style and graphics work is lipstick on a bulldog when the concept isn't original. Even the content isn't original. There's a large number of mods there that have also been released here.

If BotM becomes nothing more than a popularity contest with admins sending out emails as a voting drive, the whole idea can be tossed on the rubbish heap now.

No promoting of any kind should be tolerated and based on that alone, vbHackers should be disqualified - especially if the rules are based on VB.Com which does have a rule prohibiting promotions.

Of course, I don't expect that to happen. VB.Org doesn't have that kind of credibility any more. Users are leaving left and right. Webmasters promoting votes for their site are at least driving traffic here and that, I'm betting, is more important than integrity.

I voted for vB.org, although I liked the look of photosharingforum I just didn't think it had enough content yet.

Easy. vBSEO.
Great support, great community, great product. What more could you ask for?

vBulletin.org all the way! I would be lost without this site!

As mentioned before, we will use an updated set of rules for the next round where we will try to make it more a contest with equal chances.

None of our current rules are broken by any of the submitted sites as far as i know, so i see no reason to disqualify anyone.

We have said that we based our rules on the ones at vb.com, we are not using their version, so we can not disqualify someone based on the rules of another site.

whats the difference? not that it matters to me, mind you, just seems to me that you are contradicting yourself with that answer.

While your entitled to your opinion I find your post be both falsely based on assumptions and wrong.

Every site on this list has done exactly what the rules have asked for.

And saying vBH is nothing but a copy of .org is a flat out lie. Why don't we just call vBulletin a copy of UBB with lipstick?
