Site Name: DN Lodge Webmaster Forums
URL: http://www.dnlodge.com Description: A community of webmasters who are all interconnected through domains, which is what DN stands for in our title. DN Lodge was launched August 8th, 2005, and has been live ever since: for 20 months. The owner, Brandon (me), is currently 15 and was 13 when he launched the forum. The forum currently has almost 5,000 members, and 32.6 thousand posts. Between school work, practicing the piano :P, and other online projects, I made time for DN Lodge and it has always been one of my main projects. Currently we are holding a contest, with $6,100 in sponsored prizes, and $250 in cash. We have had a few contests months back, but none this big. I spent a lot of time finding sponsors and setting up the contest threads, etc. I think DN Lodge is different from other forums because everyone knows each other, and many long time friendships have been formed through this forum. We are also different because we understand that everyone makes mistakes, and we don't ban people for small things such as double posting, etc. And even those who make major mistakes, we give them one chance before their banned. Our moderating style tends to be more laid back, although obvious spam is not tolerated and is instantly deleted. I know a lot of forums who have uptight admins and mods, and I don't think it's healthy for the overall community development. We currently have 4 moderators, and 2 admins. Between the 6 of us, we keep all signs of spam out. The relationships within our staff is excellent as well, which I feel is a crucial to having a successful forum. Simply put, if there are conflicts within forum staff, things just won't work out. We DN Lodge's skin is custom, which we got done at Sitepoint a while back. When DN Lodge first launched, we were on the phpbb platform. My first investment other than the domain and hosting for the forum I knew had to be vBulletin. As soon as I had the money, I purchased vB as a leased license (DN Lodge is now on an owned license). The next major investment we made was in vBseo, which we think was also a good investment as well. We currently have plans that we are working on, involving expanding the forum, and what content we offer. Reason for Nomination: Well, I figured why not :). I've spent hours on end working on this forum for the benefit of its' members, and so far all has went well and paid off. I would be thrilled to be named vBulletin Board of the Month. For months vbulletin.com has been my main source (more like only source) for vBulletin mods, although I may not post much here, I do visit often. I think you have a great site, and BOTM is a really cool thing that you guys do. I hope you consider my entry. Thanks, Brandon DN Lodge Admin |
I recommend DNLodge.com, I am a mod there and think it has greatly improved over the past few months and think it would make a great BOTM.

Site Name: CompuForums - Computer Forums
URL: http://www.compuforums.org/ Description: CompuForums is a free computer help and discussion community. Get FREE help and advice, or just chat about technology with over 900 members. Open to everyone, no matter what your skill level! Reason for Nomination: After nearly 2 years of working hard on the site, I just want a little bit of recognition. The skin is unique and unlike other computer forums we don't shoo away and insult new members and people who are not so experienced with computers. We've saved a lot of people loads of time and money which they would have spent on "professional" services - but with CompuForums they have been able to do it themselves and gain more confidence in computing. I'm very proud of my forum and it's success, and winning the award would be the icing on the cake for me :) |
Site Name: Iamboredr - Where Bored Rendezvous
URL: http://iamboredr.com Description: Iamboredr is a community that allows bored people to "de-bored" themselves with a huge range of interesting findings and topics in the internet. Everyone is bored everyday.. so that's what this community is all about! Reason for Nomination: I'm not going to hard sell my forum but the real reason why I started this community is because I see so many people on the street.. begging for money and all.. i hate it, why don't they just work.. rather than spend the whole day on the street.. earning mere bucks. This forum is a paid community where people can earn by participation.. with this I hope those people begging on the street can work for it and get a decent living |
Site Name: SW-Fans - Not Your Average Star Wars Forums
URL: http://sw-fans.net Description: Sw-Fans has been around since 1999, as a multi-purpose discussion and roleplaying forum. Our Star Wars based roleplay was one of the first of its kind, and has been joined by several other genres, including a World of Darkness and X-Men based roleplay. Sw-Fans is a place for discussing movies and media of all types, as well as just hanging out with friends. Not your average Star Wars forum... not just for roleplaying. Reason for Nomination: Sw-Fans uses a lot of modifications to present our members with features they might not be able to get elsewhere. We have several custom skins available (we lost about twenty with our upgrade to 3.6.0 but have been working on recoding them to work with the 'new' vB) and quality graphic designers in our membership who love to help out. We have a real community that's been around for over seven years, and new faces are always welcome. Our staff works hard and is very dedicated to giving our members a quality experience. I'd love to increase our member base by getting Sw-Fans some more recognition. |
