Site Name: Virtual American Airlines
URL: www.virtualaa.com/portal.php Description: Virtual American Airlines is a site dedicated to simulating real world American Airlines operations, by using Microsoft's Flight Simulator software to allow it's members (pilots) to fly scheduled AA flights and subsequently accumulate flight hours. Reason for Nomination: We at Virtual American Airlines strive on quality and this is clearly apparent by the way we maintain and operate our website. But what really sets us apart from the rest of the Virtual Airlines in the flightsimming community is our family-oriented environment. We have been together as a "family" since the year 2000. We originally started out as a Virtual Airline named AirPUERTORICO. We then went through some changes and transitions, but throughout all these years, we have stayed together. I really hope you guys enjoy our website. Like I said before, we are all about quality and putting out the best that we have to offer. |
Site Name: Starcraft Vanilla
URL: Starcraft Vanilla Description: Discussion for the up and coming Starcraft 2, will be offering downloads ranging from RPG's, to Bots on battle.net when SC2 is Released. Reason for Nomination: A fairly new/low traffic site, offering up a place for people to get together and gossip about the release about starcraft 2. (Greatest game ever :P) I would love for this site to get some exposure since this is my first site and boy is it time consuming. But, this would be very rewarding for me, if this site was nominated. And also if not for me do it for SC2! |

Site Name: Stirrdup
URL: http://www.stirrdup.com Description: Social news site similiar to Digg and Reddit, but built upon the idea that the content that is the most interesting isn't necessarily the same as what everyone agrees with. Stories gain points through users doing what they would normally do while using a site (clicking links and leaving comments) and the ones that gain the most interest are promoted to the main page. If they continue to hold interest, they will stay higher on the page until the time weighted system slowly moves them down to allow more fresh content in. This fixes the "bury brigade" censorship that plagues Digg and Reddit. Reason for Nomination: The entire site is implemented using vbulletin plugins. Not a single file change. Really shows the flexibility of the system. |
Site Name: Crackmuzik-GFX-Elite
URL: http://crackmuzik-gfx-elite.de Description: GFX-Site and normal Community about Sigs, Wallpapers, Banners, Designing and many other Sections. Reason for Nomination: I want to grow my Forum, and maybe this is a good way to see if somebody like it or not... |

Site Name: The Mego Museum
URL: http://megomuseum.com/community Description: Companion forums for the The Mego Museum website, a decade-old spot on the web dedicated to collectors and enthusiasts of vintage 1970's Mego action figures. We were running on IkonBoard 2.2a for years and only recently upgraded to vBulletin, but have already added a lot of nice mods and have done a lot of customization to fit with our member's needs and wants. We offer several different styles, including one that almost perfectly emulates the old IkonBoard for those traditionalists among our group! We also hold an annual (real life) convention, print trading cards to promote the site, and more. We have close to a thousand members and have been adding new registrations daily since we switched to the much-more-robust vBulletin. We offer Arcade games for our members to play, a marketplace to buy, sell and trade their figures, a gallery to host images, and much more!

There are a lot of options available to paid members, which aren't available to regular registered members, though registered members do have a lot to choose from. GotTwinz is more than a message board, it quickly becomes an internet family to those who post there. There is also a yearly meeting held, last year was NYC, this year was Chicago and next year is Las Vegas. Reason for Nomination: GotTwinz has come a long way and we are improving the site on a daily basis.

Site Name: TalkArizona.com - Arizona News Talk and Opinion Discussion Forums
URL: http://www.talkarizona.com/forums/ Description: This is a vBulletin based discussion forum for current events, political, religious, and family issues for the people of Arizona. Reason for Nomination: While this site is fairly new, the community isn't. This is a new domain and software (impexed from SMF) upgrade from the previous domain havasutalk.com. This community has pulled together resources, time, and money (all on it's own) to improve it's 'real life' community by restoring a landmark flag in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. The community is also a very close community of people that talk about some very sensitive topics such as religion and politics, the very areas where other forums refuse to go. The board runs a very basic custom skin with a ton of commercial and free add-ons including photopost pro, vbclassifieds, vbAdvanced (vbalinks too!), zoints, hot-or-not, vbSeo, and many more. This domain is still new and I have just started marketing it via flyers, ads, and more. There is much work to do, but I would like to recognize this community not only for the software used, but for the people of the forum. |

Here's what our members have to say about our site: http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums...ad.php?t=36034 Thanks for the consideration! |
