vBulletin.org is just as official as vBulletinTemplates.com, both are hosted on Jelsoft's server and both have a licensing system. Both are "actual forums" ran by "actual people", both deserve a chance to win the award and both did. And with the upcoming changes to vBulletin.org, it will become an even less official site.
We have a great staff here who are doing their job every day, and they do a pretty good job. It wouldn't be fair if their work couldn't be recognized just because this site is called vBulletin.org. This site has grown from a 3,000 threads sub-forum to a fully featured website with almost 200,000 posts and more than 1,500 hacks, thanks to these people. Those that browse the site every day know this and I'm glad they appreciate it.
(And for your information, I did pay for this license. I've had it for a long time and used it on a personal site, and when vBHacks.com was created I transferred the license over there. Then we took over the vBulletin.org domain name, but the license is still mine and it's not being use anywhere else. If you will.)
