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.

Site Name:
Oyobiia

URL:
Oyobiia

Description:
A online offtopic discussion board.

Reason for Nomination:
I am placing my board for nomination because in the month that we have been open we have grown the forum to gain 260+ users and over 5,500+ posts. 8/10 of the people.
We listen to our users on the ways we can improve the forums and we are always making it more user friendly. Alot of our members tell us that we are "different" to other forums on the internet, this is why I am nominating my board.

I know compared to a lot of forums that Oyobiia is just a small forum with no reason to win BOTM. But if you took your time to look around Oyobiia, register and join our community. You would notice we are different.

Site Name: Island Riders
URL: http://www.islandriders.ca & http://www.islandriders.ca/forum
Description: A community forum for sportbike riders on Vancouver Island, located in Victoria, BC, Canada (My home town)
Reason for Nomination: Well, where do I start here.. Couple of reason. First one being, since I'm one of the origional creators of vbulletin.org (I've been away from web design / vbulletin for some time now. This is my first design since coming back to it in well over 4 years.) Its a clean, simple design that in my opinion flows well. Bunch of custom templates. There are still a couple of little things to fix up (default buttons, ugly folder icons, etc) but its 98% completed.
After a LONG time away, I'm finally back :P
