Reason for Nomination : Have done a lot of hard work on it without any knowledge of any language. Won`t say that it`s the best cause there are far more better websites of VB members than me but i`ve worked very hard on it. Have done a lot of Mod work (graphical as well as addons mods)

To me it`s the best site but still it`s upto you guys to decide

Please check the BOTM rules: This site does not appear to be open to guests so it will not be allowed unless this is changed.

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

Webmasters
Computers
Computer Consoles
Business
Ebay
Gaming
Graphics
And More

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.

Our forum hosts modding worklogs, troubleshooting discussions, overclocking discussions and much MUCH more. With over 14,500 members, over 625K posts and over 100K threads... PC Apex is a long-standing home for geeks.

Reason for Nomination: Back when we first switched to VBulletin from myphpnuke back in July of 2002 we also created a custom CMS that was used to post our content and use VB as our comment and user registratin system. We still use VB as the core of our site and continue to expand on it via hacks from VB.org. Alot of customization has gone into this installation and our members seem to love every bit of it.

Site Name: PBXInfo
URL: http://www.pbxinfo.com

Description: Telecom Community focusing on today's telephone systems for home, Small Office and Large Enterprises. Provides informaiton on options for phone systems.

Reason for Nomiation: We are using VBulleting and VBAdavanced and wanted to get away from the typical "Forum" look and make it look more like a online professional portal. The forums are an intergral part of the site and as you see we have many mods including a custom Member of the Month mod that works very simliar to board or mod of the month but for members. Also we have incorporated a Wiki, News, and many other neat stuff in what we believe to be a very easy to naviage site. Our search works in the forums and/or the wiki.
We tried to be creative in its look and feel. Check it out and let us know what you think by voting.
Cheers!
