June BOTM Nominations

This is the nomination thread for Board of the Month of June 2010.

Please note the BOTM Rules here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/info.php?do=botm





Let me reiterate the rules for this thread:

• Only post nominations or seconds, no chatter.
• All seconds are to be placed in 1 post, with a max of 3.
• All seconds should include the word "second" or "+1".
• All posts must be in English.

Please abide by these rules or your post will be removed.





Nominations will be accepted until the 4th June 2010.

When nominating please post the site name, URL to the forum, a short description what makes your board stand out from default vBulletin, and a reason for nomination that will motivate others to second the nomination. If the staff feels that a nomination post is too promotional it will be edited accordingly.

Any sites without a name, URL, description and reason for nomination will NOT be entered into the poll. Please ensure that your nomination is in the format:

Reason for Nomination: Not Nominated. This is an example nomination.

When seconding sites, please ensure that you use the same post for the maximum of 3 allowed seconds. Any seconds not located in your first seconding post will not be counted. Please also ensure that you quote the nomination post you are seconding in your post (Use Multi-Quote Option if you are nomination multiple boards). If there is no name or URL provided then the post will be ignored when the nominations are counted.

Also, please make sure that you are seconding a forum that has already been nominated by its forum owner. Any seconds for a forum that has not been nominated yet will be counted as null and void.

Please posts only nominations or seconds, no "Thank you" posts are needed, they clutter the thread and will be deleted.

Any queries regarding the BOTM Contests should be sent via PM to Roms or an Administrator.

Best of luck to all nominees!

[Masked Crusader]

Site Name: Masked Crusader
URL: www.maskedcrusader.com
Description: Masked Crusader is online MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) buying, selling, and trading community for games like World of Warcraft, Aion, Runescape, etc.
Reason for Nomination:

* 4 completely customized skins that people can choose from. Head over to the sidebar to the Quick Style Chooser and pick your accent color!
* Use Wordpress blogging system on the site. The theme has been completely customized to make it look nothing like nothing Wordpress (can be found at http://www.maskedcrusader.com/blog). Also created custom sidebar box on vBulletin to pull the latest Blogs from Wordpress.
* Custom feedback system that allows Trust Who Verified members to leave a positive, neutral, or negative rating for a user. The feedback that a user leaves for another user can be edited any time in the future in the event that something in the rating needs to be updated.
* Completely custom Donator system with access to a shoutbox, color coded user titles (not usernames), a donator icon that displays on both the threadbit and postbit, and is an ad-free setup!
* Custom phone verification script that calls the user with a code and the user has to enter it into the website. This modification incorporates a Paypal hook so that the user can pay for the service.
* Custom association system with something called Trust Who. A user registers, and if he or she is a Trust Who member, they just enter their e-mail address. From there, we do a pull from Trust Who's API and find out if the user is truly verified. Verified users are shown by a black/white Trust Who logo image in the threadbit and postbit.
* The sidebar is completely custom. Does not use any modification here on this site. The latest threads box and top posters are both custom coded to allow for optimized querying.

A nomination will greatly help to aid in pushing us in the right direction towards competing with the other top dogs in the RMT (Real Money Trading) market!
