Site owners who also happen to be running the contest...definately a conflict of interest as I pointed out earlier.

I agree. When I had posted (#29) I did not realize one of the BOTM staff nominated his own board. While I chose not to be on the BOTM team I highly suggest that (this) person removes his entry for the validity and ethics of the contest.

Yep, I vote for vbhackers as well. It's everything, well... that this place should be.

nominating your own board doesn't mean you will win ... ultimately, the winner is decided by the majority

[high]* EvilHawk wonders: muttering and mumbling around about vb.org and then nominating your forum is a conflict of interests or not? :down:[/high]

I'd like to nominate http://www.vbseo.com/. Now i know this is a forum based on a commerical modification, but the modification itself is not the reason i am nominating the board (and i hope the staff can look past this too), moreso the excellent community spirit and support provided there why i would like to nominate http://www.vbseo.com/ as a Board of the Month

Of course, everything is judged equally. Remember, we are two to be accepting the nominations also to make sure "if" we get some misjudgements in any way or another, we will be able to discuss about them.

Good luck for vB Hackers, you guys seem to have alot of support!

I nominate vbulletin.org , they have been a great resource to me and my forums for some time now.

I agree BOTM isnt directly appointed by The Chief and I. We simply organize it, and the Members are the ones who have the final descision on whats BOTM and what isnt so there really shouldnt be to much of a problem nominating your self or your own boards.

Alot of entries so far, lets keep up the good work
