[April 2008] BOTM Nomination Thread

This is the nomination thread for Board of the Month of April.

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

Nominations will be accepted until the 31st of March.

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 Danny.VBT.

Best of luck to all nominees!

Site Name: GrandOldTeam

URL: www.grandoldteam.com

Description: A soccer website dedicated to an English Premier League side Everton

Reason for Nomination: Only a year old but already has a good core amount of members. The main reason I think GrandOldTeam should be nominated is its originality, I have really tried my upmost to make it stand out from the crowd

Site Name: Tech555.com

URL: www.tech555.com

Description: For All the Tech Info You Need

Reason for Nomination:

The layout and the way of content arranging is really catchy. Ads are displayed only once on Non Index pages so that visitors may never be distracted.

Site is exclusively dedicated to Technology discussion and it has all the relevant Forums whether it being Mobiles, Computers, Programming, Web Development, Graphics and Designing etc.

Its passed not even a WEEK's time since the owner of Tech555 has bought the license and has already dedicated his so many efforts day and night in understanding vBulletin and customising accordingly, proving the site having a great potential.

Thank You

Site Name: ThinkTeen Community
Site URL: http://community.thinkteen.co.uk
Description: A support and community site for teen, by teens

Reason of Nomination: Only 3 months old, but very slow at building the community. They've tried to make it work, but is it going to work? All of the forum staff are based in one school which can be a disadvantage, but hey, they're doing well. It kind of does bet me though how they acquired a vBulletin License.

Description: BCMTouring is a Road Trip centric travel forum, first and only of its kind in India. Our members belong to diverse age groups and socio-economic backgrounds, yet they are bonded together for their passion for travel and automobiles. It is this passion that initially led me to start BCMTouring in April 2006. Since then we have grown into a flourishing online community of wheel bound 21st century nomads, who eagerly await opportunities to break free from the shackles of responsibility, leaving behind the concrete jungle, to get on their modern day steeds and chariots to explore the length and breadth of India.

Reason for Nomination: We may be small right now, but soon we will be the largest travel forum in India. I feel winning the BOTM would give it just the kind of exposure it needs to succeed.

Thanks for your consideration!

http://www.optikal-illuzionz.com/forums

Description: OpTiKaL-iLLuZionz.com started out years ago as an online gaming clan forum within the Xbox LIVE and PC gaming community. It quickly became one of the most popular clan forums around but was eventually closed down after the clan disbanded. I have recently brought back the website and revamped it with many modifications and am just now beginning to promote the site again within the old gaming community.

Reason for Nomination: We are only a few months old and are just beginning to gain new members but I feel that the forums look great, and are very well integrated with many modifications.

Site Name: TripleChat.com | Plug in :: Play On
URL: www.triplechat.com
FOURM URL: www.triplechat.com/forums
Description: TripleChat has just recently popped into the scene of Gaming sites around the net but unlike others, this site is a bit different. I strive for User Happiness, let me explain. See, when you join this site and its forums, you automatically become part of the site. Your input does not go unnoticed! Everything you say is read over by me or my amazing staff on these forums. So unlike other sites, we improve when you asking to improve. If you want to chat about gaming, then the odds are that we will have a chat about gaming in 24 minutes or less. If you want a cookie, we will laugh a little and tell you to go find a phone book and order a cookie. But that is my point, we will help you!

It isn’t such a matter of great news sources…ok it is a bit, but the fact is we are a great community here to intrigued you and let you in on some insight in the gaming world. Forget all thoughts of huge gaming sites where one comment you make may become a huge flame war. Instead, hang out here with the little big guy.

Another great thing about TripleChat is our Bigger sister site, TripleTags.com. This site has been nothing but our support throughout the launch and even up till now. SectionZ and his team have done a great job in helping and even linking to our site and forums and without them, this site would not be here. So if you ever see or talk to them, thank them!

Reason for Nomination: TripleChat's reason for nomination is simple, the members on the forum have gave me nothing but pats on the back. I know I shouldn't brag but it is hard to when they have been my driving force for this website! Graphics, features, videos, downloads, gaming news, and some random things are the handful of things that I offer and I am always ready to add another word to that list. I am always working on improvements and small edits to the forum to allow for better flow.

I built this site and I have never been prouder.

Thanks, EC
