January BOTM Nominations
This is the nomination thread for Board of the Month of January 2011.
Please note the BOTM Rules here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/info.php?do=botm Let me reiterate the rules for this thread:
Nominations will be accepted until the 31st of December 2010 (close to midnight... close means +/- HOURS. YES, I WILL CLOSE AND GET TO IT AS "SOON" AS I CAN (Like when they have to type that code in the tv show "LOST" this is some serious stuff here!!!) When nominating please post the site name, URL to the forum, a short description what makes your board stand out from default vBulletin, and a reason for nomination that will motivate others to second the nomination. If the staff feels that a nomination post is too promotional it will be edited accordingly. Any sites without a name, URL, description and reason for nomination will NOT be entered into the poll. Please ensure that your nomination is in the format: Originally Posted by Sample Nomination Site Name: vBulletin.orgWhen seconding sites, please ensure that you use the same post for the maximum of 3 allowed seconds. Any seconds not located in your first seconding post will not be counted. Please also ensure that you quote the nomination post you are seconding in your post (Use Multi-Quote Option if you are nomination multiple boards). If there is no name or URL provided then the post will be ignored when the nominations are counted. Also, please make sure that you are seconding a forum that has already been nominated by its forum owner. Any seconds for a forum that has not been nominated yet will be counted as null and void. Please posts only nominations or seconds, NO "Thank you" posts are needed, they clutter the thread and will be DELETED. IMPORTANT inqueries regarding the BOTM Contests should be sent via PM to Roms or an Administrator. Best of luck to all nominees! :D |
