Site Name: Gamesey

URL: http://www.gamesey.com

Description: Gamesey is a gaming site with a difference - we have a unique 'club' concept which we hope will help eradicate negative fanboyism on gaming sites (or least on ours). If you're into gaming, you'll know just what I mean.

Reason for Nomination: I think Gamesey has a great custom design that pushes vBulletin - almost every element has been customised (from the front end to the back, such as control panel and profiles) but very careful consideration has been paid towards site compatibility, and more importantly speed and efficiency.

Site Name: World News Zone
URL: http://www.worldnewszone.com/

Description: This is a site with a big heart! News from all over the world are pulled in to give you an insight into whats happening where ever you can think of nearly!

Reason for Nomination: This is a new concept and has been not with out it's problems and trials but is now beginning to flourish, I hope people will take a look, It is a sister site to peterska2 chill out forums, but with a totally different feel!

URL: http://www.mkpitstop.co.uk/forum

Description: MK PitStop is a website that helps people with a number of subjects as follows:

Webmasters
Computers
Computer Consoles
Business
Ebay
Gaming
Graphics

MK PitStop allows all ages from 13 upwards. The forum is free and fully moderated to keep all content clean and respectful.

Reason for Nomination: I have been running MK PitStop for 1 Years, 5 Months, 25 days today, this website was started to allow myself and others to help people in the best way as we can. I have been on the computer every day since I started this website, apart from 4 days when I was ill (I even worked on it, on Christmas day). This website is my life and my biggest hobby; I place as much information on there from what I learn.

In the future I hope to add more subjects to the forums so that it can help more people, but at the moment I am trying my best to not put guests off. When I first started the website I tried using a different forum software and was very unhappy with the hard work I had to place in to remove the bugs, but then I went with vBulletin and it was the best thing I ever did with the website. I have installed lots of hacks and even started doing some my self, thanks to vBulletin.com & vBulletin.org with there great community they made this happen more for me.

I would give my right arm to make my forum to become one of the top leading forums on the internet, maybe one day if I keep trying this will happen, but until then I will just hope for my website to win BOTM.

Thank you.

Reason for Nomination: I and my friends were create the first fun based forum in Turkey. We took it 3.5 years but its founder sold it someone.After that we created Mygeyiq (The previous one is Geyiq lol ). 316 days past from creation. It has over 700.000 posts and 16.400 threads. We didn't take any advertisement until now. Additionally I think our design is simple and usefull.

Site Name: Digital Forums

URL: http://www.digital-forums.com

Description: Digital Forums is in it's 7th year and is a community dedicated to providing the masses with a host of technical topics as well as every day subjects from cooking to conspiracies

Reason for Nomination: The DF community is a hardcore base of technophiles who spend a massive amount of their spare time helping others and getting help in return. We have grown since the vb2 days and have implemeted a massive amount of customizations and hacks all with the help of vbulletin.org which has been an invaluable source of material for us. We feel the design and implemenation of the forums is as good as you can get and we strive to improve the site on a daily basis.

DF is really a living, breathing community that owes its entire success to all the members and staffers who have contributed their time over the years. The members deserve this award and I would be proud if they were recognized in this way.

If we could be seconded that would be fantastic!

Thanks in advance

I have used Digital-Forums for a number of years and beleive the site is most worthy of this nomination / award.

DF, is my first port of call for any technical issues / questions I have, and find they are usually answered in a quick friendly manner by the members whom in my opinion are second to none.
