Site Name: The World of Necrotania, Writing Community
Site URl: http://www.necrotania.com
Description: We are a writing community that focuses on the Fantasy and Science Fiction Genres, though we accept most any type of work. We offer a place for aspiring authors to post there works and get valuable feedback, as well as a place for readers to find new interests.

Reason for Nomination: We are somewhat unique in our approach to handling stories in that we use eFiction as our archive solution. This integration is nearly seamless, providing not only a single login to the site but consistent look across all areas by using a custom skin that pulls from the vBulletin templates.

In addition, the link now works both ways, providing random stories in vBulletin, as well as a list of the authors posted stories in there profile. The profile page is still being reworked and will soon contain all information on that author; the eventual goal is to replace the eFiction profile page with vBulletin.

vBAdvanced acts as the portal page, providing recently added stories and updated news items on the sites growth.

Since the site opened in 2002 we have constantly evolved and grown into a place that I am very proud to call my corner of the web.

Site Name: EachParent.com

URL: http://eachparent.com

Description: Parenting website dedicated to offer services and support for parenting communities. We are opening a new community because it is proven that we are good for that. Our main market is the vBulletin communities which need more tools for parenting, like tickers, photo albums etc (this is the coding side of nexialys.net)...

One of the things no other website do compared to us is that we provide a place where to bring members from dying communities... instead of closing the place and loose all the fun, we grab everything, from content to users, and we give them a place where to start over...

Reason for Nomination: a complete different style from the usual vB, cool content, and just some fun.

Site Name: We Talk TV

URL: http://wetalk.tv

Description: The discussion forum for lovers of TV shows, YouTube, IPTV and TiVo, etc. A great community that started just recently with a great team, nice content and a good board set-up. September fall season started, so a great time to get back into TV.

Reason for Nomination: Communities are growing every day and despite the already many TV related sites we feel we are a great place for friends who want to share information about TV shows and hardware with eachother, and a great place to find new friends with similar interest. We have various modifications installed, from simple tweaks to the underlying design to a more drastic vBSEO, a blog, and chat. Unique plugins such as TV Showbox above the threadlist and we're building a unique custom style to give face to our strongly growing community. We believe that despite a young site we qualify for a review from the experienced community users here and introduce them to another great community.

I'd like to second: www.forumistan.net
