Board of the Month Flaw

I mean no disrespect to the past few Board of the Month winners, but I find it extremely unfair that only vBulletin related boards are winning. I don't think I've ever seen a BotM winner that hasn't been a board for vBulletin admins.

Well this is a forum mainly for vb admins, so it's not entirely surprising. However, everyone is free to vote as they please so I don't see that there is much we can do about it - feel free to post any suggestions you may have. :)

There's probably no way to fairly enforce it, and you're right - it's not surprising.

I'll think on it for a bit...

In all honesty though, what was the contest originally made for? People shouldn't vote for sites that they are active on because it's totally bias.

But surley if your active on a site you will like it and therefore consider it one of the best or simply a great board so it does make sence.

the only thing we can do is move the voting to the portal - which we plan to do anyway ...

the move will produce more exposure; right now, you can't even tell we have an [S]SOTM[/S] BOTM

Style of the Month I think.

Agree.

Board of the Month doesn't really mean anything. MyETalk has been around for, what, a year now? It's a great site, but it's not exactly a board made this month, now, is it.

I love the coder of the month, though. You guys deserve a lot more attention, and n00bies need to know who to get hacks from. :D
