Reason for Nomination: I think that my forum is unique, and although there is not much to it now, I think it has potential.

Site: MillaJforum

URL: http://www.millajforum.com

Description: The official Milla Jovovich's forum

Reason for Nomination: The forum has been working for 3 and half years and is the great information resource for all fans for actress Milla Jovovich and the great place for meeting new people from all parts of the world. Community is really friendly and always welcome new members. Every month forum staff prepare some competitions, like "Member of The Month", "Signature maker of the Month" and time to time there are big contests like Knowledge Quiz or Miss contest.

Members who are interested in serious topics can talk in "Parliament" forum, where they can discuss about many different topics, such a politics or world news.

Forum is special as well for well-implemented flash chat, which allows member talk to each other in real-time, which makes members realationships more closier and friendly, as we can see every evening time, when members go for a chat.

Millajforum.com is runned by the fan community itself, without any commerical support.

Site name: Accel - thecarforum.net
URL: http://www.thecarforum.net/forum

Description: General car related forum covering a variety of different subjects

Reason for nomination:

I've been running it for a year and a bit now with vBulletin, and in that time I like to think I've got a nice little community going.

It's all designed by me (although the flash in the clock was implemented by one of my members). A lot of effort goes into the design, and it takes a fair bit of time too. Basically it's all me messing around in Photoshop and Dreamweaver when I have a free minute, seeing that I've had no training or lessons in what I do.

I've got a few tasteful mods installed, including Anymedia BBCode, nCode image resizer, NoSpam and a couple of others.

I have a variety of forums for my members to post in (including a popular chat forum), and while we're not the most popular forum on the 'net, it's no ghost town either.

Not sure what else to say, really . It's non profit, as you'd expect, and server costs are paid for by me (aided by the odd Premium subscription). I have adsense ads, but they're there purely as an incentive to register and in 3 months I've made the grand total of 2p.

Site Name: Military Significant Others and Spouse Support (MilitarySOS)
URL: http://militarysos.com
Description: a support site for military spouses and significant others

Reason for Nomination:
I believe our site changes lives for military significant others who have no other means of support. A lot of our members have deployed husbands, no family around and have been forced to leave good friends behind everytime they have to move to a new duty station. Our site allows members to access information that can sometimes be hard to find even directly from a command, gain knowledge from people who have actually "BTDT" (been there, done that), make "portable friends" that they don't have to leave behind at a duty station and find support even at 2am.

I started the site as NavySOS.com about three years ago, but eventually expanded to include all branches because I had the desire to offer the same support and resources to all branches, not just Navy. Since our expansion in Jan of 2006, we have more than tripled in size, by post count and member base.

I've put hundreds, possibly even thousands, of hours of work into this site, not to mention the money I've put into it, but the lives that our site changes for the better, is what makes everything completely worth it.

Edited to add: most of our forums are open to public but there are a couple of forums that I'm not able to open up to all public b/c we have them set for members to have more than 250 posts to access, mostly for security reasons (personal health subjects, photo albums with our children's photos, etc). I do have most open to public though, and I hope this fits within the requirements.
