Reason for Nomination: The site is only a month old, but is somewhat all put together in the sense that there are very few instances of something not having white pixels around it. We use a wide variety of products, plugins, and mods.

I second this board. :up:

I would like to nominate,

Note: I have listed the splash page first as you need the flash browser plug in to view the site. Broadband recommended.

Site Name: KOWW.net
URL: http://www.koww.net

Description: An MMORPG guild website and community.

Reason for Nomination: A site built to completely represent the theme and mythos of one of the oldest online MMORPG guilds in existence, its hand drawn raw and gritty graphics, modifications, animations and creation of atmosphere though the use of flash, imagery and sound were paramount in its construction and concept.

Please see the examples below for some of the basic details and highlights of the site:

Basics:
A custom transparent skin, animated primary status icons, animated forum post, sticky and attachments icons, a complete buttons and indicators set.

Headers:
These headers detect the viewers time setting and then plays a primary movie based on if its night or day.
http://www.koww.net/portal.php

Note: the portal page also has a verbal greeting for the user depending on the users group, guest, member, alliance and KOWW. It and the smaller forum headers also cycles though 7 background music and effects packages depending on the day of the week.

The smaller sized forum headers play 6 different movies plus special change over movies that can be seen between the hours of 5:30 and 6:00 AM & PM for sunrise and sunset. To see all of the movies just open your computers time setting or change the AM/PM settings save and refresh the page.

Note: the animated cross visible during daylight hours in the KOWW header logo changes to a set of werewolf teeth after sunset.

Footer:

The footer is a working clock and is best seen with the credits page, it is also linked to the viewer’s computer time setting, though it operates slightly different then a normal clock.

Other Details:

A working 90MB “AI” named Guardian with a rather special avatar.
