Description: Social news site similiar to Digg and Reddit, but built upon the idea that the content that is the most interesting isn't necessarily the same as what everyone agrees with. Stories gain points through users doing what they would normally do while using a site (clicking links and leaving comments) and the ones that gain the most interest are promoted to the main page. If they continue to hold interest, they will stay higher on the page until the time weighted system slowly moves them down to allow more fresh content in. This fixes the "bury brigade" censorship that plagues Digg and Reddit.

Reason for Nomination: The entire site is implemented using vbulletin plugins. Not a single file change. Really shows the flexibility of the system.

Second this - great use of vB

Site Name: Zerotohundred.com
URL: http://www.zerotohundred.com
Description: The Automotive Enthusiasts' Network
Reason for Nomination:

I think it has a decent design for a vbulletin software.
I am especially proud of the mainpage.
Please allow time and let the main page load completely.We have images resizing script to automatically resize the images to match the layout. It may be a little slow, but that's mostly because of our server maxing out during peak hours.

Zerotohundred.com have lotsa content and is pretty big with 52,000members as well. So it is well established.

Things to notice:
-Main page
-Navigation
-Forum home icons
