Site Name: Bilforumet.no

We have released our new design today 5 years after we started. We have now added alot of funcitons to the board ad Vbadvanced, Photopost PRO, Photopost Classified and TheGeeks GARS. Not have we just implemented them but we have custimized them alot to make them look its best to our new design. |
Site Name: Redline Motorsports
URL: www.RedlineMotorsports.org Description: An online community for all types of automotive enthusiasts Reason for Nomination: We have added loads of additional functionality trying to make and change what the users want so it will be a great expierence for everyone. We're running vB Portal with the Streetrod design integrated into it, Photopost vBA Gallery with event coverage from car shows we've attended and new features being added or changed everyday. |
Site Name:
FightForum.com URL: www.FightForum.com Description: Mixed martial arts and boxing discussion community focusing on the UFC, PrideFC, K1 and other combat sports. Reason for Nomination: In less than 2 years, FightForum has become an extremely popular web destination for many Boxing and MMA fans. We have 3100 members and continue to grow at a rate of 10 new members each day. On the days before or after a big event, thoses numbers multiply greatly. FightForum pride's itsell on being one of the most intelligent communities of it's kind. We have a great team of moderators that uphold very high standards and make this site what it is. The design is very simple, with minimal styles changes to keep the site looking attractive yet fast loading and simple to upgrade. |
Site Name: The World of Nectotania
URL: http://www.necrotania.com Description: Fantasy and Science Fiction writing community Reason for Nomination: Necrotania has been active since 2002 in one form or another. Back then it was just a series of HTML files, a place to post my own stories. Since then it has evolved through 4 forum scripts (Ikonboard, IPB 1.3, SMF, and vBulletin) and 3 story archive scripts (Storyline, A custom software, eFiction). Probably the most notable item to consider is the custom link between the story archive script and the forum. This not only provides for a single sign-in, but allows the current forum skin to be shared with the story archive..providing a consistent look and navigation for the whole site. Both skins were developed by the great people over at http://www.gfxstyles,com Thanks :) |

Great community that is rapidly growing ;) |

Site Name: Digitally Wise
URL: www.digitallywise.com Description: Reviews & discussion for the truly wise. Movies, tv, music, games, & more. Reason for Nomination: This site has come a long way since I first started it in May of 2004. The design of the site is completely custom done, there is great custom content in the form of media reviews by our community, and the memberbase is active and continually growing. I feel that it deserves to be listed in vBorg's poll for BotM, so if you agree please second this. |
Site Name: BleedZao.com
URL: www.bleedzao.com/forums Description: Largest fansite for the band Zao. Reason for Nomination: Very customized layout. Most of the major pages used in vBulletin have been re-done in tableless css (forumhome, postbits, user profiles, and more) and should be functioning across all browsers too. Along with unique features, the style is unique as well -- It really doesn't look like a standard/typical forum by any means. Plus, it would make a cool birthday present to win one of these contests for once. :) |

Site Name: STOnet URL: www.startrek-online.net/messageboard Description: Fan site for upcoming MMORPG, 'Star Trek: Online' Reason for Nomination: I think STOnet is at a stage now that we're not going to be making any massive alterations for some time, so I thought I'd throw it in. We use quite a customised style and board now, though many of the vB.org plugins I use are backend/administrative. Some nice touches we've done include the random sidebar, which displays different info on every refresh, full IRC integration through a vBa page and a custom mod for searching posts by usergroup (DevTracker, which then got released here!) |
