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.
