Description: BigSoccer is the leading forum for soccer fans around the world. Now 12 years old we have over 100,000 registered users, serve 820,000 uniques a month, and served 20mm forum pages in June. Our members talk about every soccer club, league and tournament on earth. BigSoccer is one of the largest vB's, and one of the earliest, since the v1beta days.

Reason for Nomination: We relaunched our site just days before the end of last month's nominating process. It was a complete revamp, with major functionality extensions built in vB and vBadvanced. We've reskinned the site, built a personalized navigation tool that remembers your prefered state of which categories are open and closed, and added a "digg" tool, for both external links and internal threads. The new dynamic homepage makes use of Ajax and CSS, plus personalization, to give you an alternative view into the forums, or forum category, or forum itself. You now have an ability to sort by various measures of popularity (a mix of diggs, replies, views, and time) or last post time (ie latest threads), and the HP will remember your preference the next time you come back. This provides you a more intuitive insight into where the action is in the forums and allows people to find valuable and interesting content in areas of the site they might normally have noticed, due to our size and depth.
