This is the nomination thread for Board of the Month of October/November 2008.

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

Nominations will be accepted until the 30th of September 2008.

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:

Quote:

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 Danny.VBT.

Best of luck to all nominees!

Well here goes nothing!

Site Name: ImportsNC.com

URL: www.importsnc.com/forums

Description: Premier automotive community in North Carolina with 8,900 members and 872,XXX posts.

Reason for Nomination: Clean design, smart modifications and one LOYAL community that interacts online and in real life. Administered by 2 and monitored by a moderator staff near 30. I built this forum from the ground up and with no previous coding skills. And wow 3.7 is so much more enjoyable to mod then vB 5 years ago.

Currently 3.7.3 with following mods:
Cyn Donation mod - converted into a Premium Membership program launched this week! Offering yearly subscriptions or lifetime membership and full of benefits. Lots of people signing up already.

ChatBox - only viable to members, only usable by Premium members.

vbExperience - encourages quality participation not just posting for post counts.

Post thanks system - bc you should be thanked if you post something helpful... had to limit to 4 posts a day because people quickly got too thanks happy.

Latest Album picture at top of forum... bc car guys love looking at pictures.

Top 5 stats - bc people like statistics, or at least I do.

Smart modifications that make your members happy without making the forum confusing and cluttered.

Seems to be working, members are happy and have posted about 8,000 posts this week.

URL: www.topsynergy.net

Description: tsConnections is a community that offers a varity of tools, know-how, and support to those who want to learn as much as possible about themselves, others, and their potential compatibility.

Reason for Nomination: Making extensive use of index.php?page=... and userfield table (see My Information link in the Toolbox menu) in order to provide an array of personality reports, forecasts, and other tools (see Toolbox menu) that are database-driven and tailored to the logged in user. Same tools and reports are now developed to provide a view on other members personality and life path; look at the Get to Know this Member block on each profile.

Reason for Nomination: Layout is very clean and appealing. Multiple mods and template customizations unique to this site. Check out the modifications to the postbit as well as the member profiles and member list with regards to user "friend code" distribution.
I try to keep it clean and limit the number of ads (compared to some other gaming forums out there sheesh!) Weve even created (by hand) our own "Wifi Hub" for Nintendo-ites to play in! Live flashchat has about 40 users in it at any given time and we're gaining over 1000 members/month (3400 last month ) Check out our community and Id appreciate any feedback!

Just installed a fully functional Gifts System that updates a credit system via paypal

Feel free to login to test the site out!
(removes some ads/welcome text)

Login: testing
Pass: testing

PS: Im running 3.6.9 for those of you who haven't upgraded yet.. all of the mods and template customizations seen on the site run fine with it so dont be too afraid to upgrade! (Just FYI)
I Second This Site!


From what i can see, this site has much appeal. The Site is VERY Clean and organized, the staff are doing a great job(I didnt see any spam!)
There is not an over flow of mods. Its very tidy, keeping to the name of the forum. From what I have seen the modifications have been customized, making the forum feel more original, none of them have just been left there, creating errors and problems in pages.

The Friend Code system is an added plus! Forget the long list of profile fields, with that mod, it makes exchanging FC's Quick. Not to mention the Wifi Hub and Flashchat!

There is much much more to this site, and from where its came from almost 2 years ago, (Look at how many registrations!) this site deserves to be nominated.

- Ash !Second!


PS: >.> Wtf.

Seconded

Gotta give some love to the somewhat last minute submission that looks like a really solid design

Reason for Nomination:
my job on that site was to debug the existing engines, take a style from a uncoded .psd file, and make it a complete high-quality design, with transparent images (the header is quite transparent)... CSS3 and XHTML techniques for the style itself, coordonance of the style with the vBulletin structure, and a lot of CSS enhancements to replace the icons. all images created are .jpg or .png, to fit with the non-usage of .gif.

Do not judge the content of the forum. Judge the usage of the scripts, like the CoffeeShop Reviews, the Guides and FAQs...


I 2ND THIS ONE
