URL: www.startrek-online.net/messageboard

Description: Fan site for upcoming MMORPG, 'Star Trek: Online'

Reason for Nomination: I think STOnet is at a stage now that we're not going to be making any massive alterations for some time, so I thought I'd throw it in. We use quite a customised style and board now, though many of the vB.org plugins I use are backend/administrative. Some nice touches we've done include the random sidebar, which displays different info on every refresh, full IRC integration through a vBa page and a custom mod for searching posts by usergroup (DevTracker, which then got released here!)

I second this forum, they look pretty awesome!

And I second The World of Nectotania, and vBCoders as well.

Reason for Nomination: I started the site and set it up within a few hours after hearing the first song from Mika on the radio. Since the start of Feb 2007 it has grown to thousands of users and many thousands of posts. Many users contribute write ups which I can push to the front page, Mika (the artist) knows of me personally, the forum got me meetings with universal in london etc. Essentially I love the site, it has an amazing community that is on 24/7 and it is the most successful site I have run to date.

I second this site

An amzing accomplishment for such a new site about a new artist

Site Name: RoadKill Cafe Counterstrike

URL: http://rkccs.com

Description: We are a popular gaming community for Counterstrike players, with 3 active servers. We have a completely customized board, with quite a few 'designed-by-us' aspects, such as our Admin List and Regs List pages.

Reason for Nomination: The forum skin is unique to our site, as i designed the skin myself, as well as a matching ACP skin. i have customized many aspects of the board, including a nearly full-scale replacement of the original default vb images (based off the army-green images by breaker) (a select handful, such as yellow/red cards, remain default).

We have also added and customized a 2nd skin for those who like the darker boards, as well as a choice to use the vB Default skin if the user prefers. we currently have only 11 members NOT using our designed custom skin.
