Please also ensure that you include the site name or URL for the site you are seconding in your post. If there is no name or URL provided then the post will be ignored when the nominations are counted.

Description: A site built to fight boredom. News, reviews, geeky stuff and sometimes some very silly people. I should warn you, the language on the site does contain swear words.
Reason for Nomination: I've had this site for seven years, I started with a custom script, then phpnuke and then finally vbulletin. I have never looked back since. I am a vbulletin junkie. The site contains many, many plugins from this site (thank you all!). Some are hacked and chopped up to suit my needs.

I would like to nominate my Forum:

Site Name: South Carolina BBQ Talk
Site URL: http://www.scbbqtalk.com

If you would like to view site without welcome headers, use the following info:

Username: TestAccount
Password: scbbqtalk

Please do not post with this account!!!

Description: SCBBQTalk.com is dedicated to the teaching, promoting and growth of the Art of South Carolina BBQ. We are here for the backyard chefs, caterers, competitors, and everyone who has a passion for great BBQ. Our membership ranges from those that just love to eat BBQ to those that have competed AND won competitions on the National Level.

Our goal is simple: To help anyone who comes in to make the best BBQ they ever produced, whether it be for your family, your friends or the judge.

Reason for Nomination: SCBBQTalk.com started it's life about 3 years ago as a Snitz Forum. Snitz served us very well for a while, but eventually, I wanted to do more than it would allow.

Since switching to vBulletin, I have added many MODs, including: AME, Advanced Forum Rules, Google Adsense Postbit Integration, ibProArcade, PhotoPlog, Ultimate Side Columns, and many more. ll of the MODs were carefully selected to give my users a better experience on the forum.

I have also changed some of the style, and think that the color palette goes well with the BBQ theme.
