Hello all,

I am now opening the first nominations thread for vB Hack of the Month. These Nominations will go to a vote at the begining of February. I hope we will see some good hacks as nominations.

Here are some guide lines partly taken over from vB Board of the Month. The only thing I left out is the seconding. We'll see how it goes. If there are too many nominations then I will add the seconding next month.

1. This month only 5 nominees will be accepted.
2. You can nominate your own hack, but you must sit out a month before you can nominate it again.
3. If your hack wins it cannot be nominated again for a year. (Maybe we'll have a Hack of the Year!)
4. If somebody else nominates your hack the month after you nominated your own, the nomination will be accepted.
5.***Important!***Nominations will only be accepted for 5 days after the start of this thread. Deadline is 19:30Hours GMT on the 20th.
6. The criteria for judging a hack is solely left to the subjective perspective of each voter. So anything goes.
7. When you make a nomination please include the a link to the hack.
8. ***Important!***All nominations recieved within the 5 days will be thrown into a hat and 5 final nominees will be pulled. This selection will be 100% random!

If you have any more opinions/ ideas for other guidelines or opinions on these guidelines, please feel free to post them.

Happy nominating and may the best hack win,

Scott

p.s. I would like to have a few graphics/logos like there are for Board of the Month. If someone would like to make a vB Hack of the Month logo go for it. I will then post it in the winner's circle along with credit for your work.

or isn't it allowed to nominate a hack by firefly ^^

I'll second that one. :)

Seconds aren't needed but thanks anyway..:D

What we do need are nominations, so keep em coming.

p.s. I'd like to nominate my hack - the vbcode.js improvement hack

welcome hack *booya* :D

Not a very well known hack methinks, but VERY effective and highly appreciated at our board, http://palmclub.nl/forums, an active Dutch Palm User Group. I'd like to nominate PalmDOC by CoffeeMugDude.

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31749&highlight=user" target="_blank">User Rating Hack By EXCHANGE</a>

It's a tough decision because I really have two favorites, but since they're both by Firefly, guess it's moot. Gotta go with TBS, Templage Backup System cause it's saved my hacking rear-end so often! :china:

Hello all,

Well the nominating wasn't all too bad. We had 8 nominations. A couple didn't have links so they were disallowed. Sorry.

Here is the result of the draw:

1. TBS Template backup system
2. User rating hack
3. Welcome panel hack
4. PalmDoc
5. new vbcode.js - vBcode and smilie user interface improvement

Well there you have them. Come back on Feb. 1st and vote for YOUR favorite hack.

And may the best hack win!

Scott

Ummm, Is the site with the zip file down? I get a message saying the domain has closed ...

Kathi

yeah
dead links should be disallowed also :p

edit: whoops!

I know the nominations are over, but I have a question: does this encompass all hacks released in January? IE: can you nominate hacks released before then? Next month, can hacks released in January be nominated, etc?

resubmitted it: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...151#post216151

I'm fairly sure release date doesn't matter - you can nominate hacks released at any time.
