February BOTM Nominations

This is the nomination thread for Board of the Month of February 2010.

Please note the BOTM Rules here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/info.php?do=botm



Let me reiterate the rules for this thread:

• Only post nominations or seconds, no chatter.
• All seconds are to be placed in 1 post, with a max of 3.
• All seconds should include the word "second" or "+1".
• All posts must be in English.

Please abide by these rules or your post will be removed.


Nominations will be accepted until the 31st of January 2010.

When nominating please post the site name, URL to the forum, a short description what makes your board stand out from default vBulletin, and a reason for nomination that will motivate others to second the nomination. If the staff feels that a nomination post is too promotional it will be edited accordingly.

Any sites without a name, URL, description and reason for nomination will NOT be entered into the poll. Please ensure that your nomination is in the format:

URL: www.vbulletin.org - this must be clickable
Description: Official vBulletin Modifications Site
Reason for Nomination: Not Nominated. This is an example nomination.

When seconding sites, please ensure that you use the same post for the maximum of 3 allowed seconds. Any seconds not located in your first seconding post will not be counted. 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.

Any queries regarding the BOTM Contests should be sent via PM to Roms or an administrator.

Best of luck to all nominees!

Reason for Nomination:
I have posted the site in the vb.org review section and look what people are already raving about: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232184 - Also on a side note I owe my success to the entire Vbulletin.com/.org Admins/Mods/Members because of using this software we have only been open to the public for a year and couple months and have had over 5,800+ people register on the forum and over 15,000 monthly uniques for a Carpet Cleaning/Disaster Restoration bulletin board, this has surpassed 2 of the worlds largest news related sites in the carpet cleaning and restoration industry! We have tried to go a different route on the design of the website to make it more cleaner and easier to navigate for the end user. Thank you everyone and we wish you guys much success for 2010 and beyond!!
