Site Name: SLUniverse.com

Description: SLUniverse is the largest and longest running community site dedicated to the virtual world of Second Life.
Reason for Nomination: This summer, the long running (4 year) forums were replaced with a brand new vbulletin installation, a painful but necessary move to grow the site. Using vbulletin as the base, the site has been transformed into a tightly integrated community site by using additional addon products (vbAdvanced, Photopost Classifieds, vbAdvanced Links Directory,vBulletin Blogs) and plugins to provide a consistent user experience. The site also provides two dramatically different themes based upon user preference. Extensive work continues on further integrating and adding new features, but the results already have been worthwhile. The site currently has over 1 million visitors a month, and hopefully the work put into improving it will pay off in even more growth.
