Nominate your favorite board for vB Board of the Month - July

[s.molinari]

Hi everyone,

Let's get going!

Don't forget to second a board or two too.:) We just barely had enough nominations for last month's contest.

[Shining Arcanine]

I am nominating mine:

[hugh_]

I nominate mine, below...

[chewbacca]

I'll be the first to second Shining Arcanine's board (http://www.pokemonfanuniverse.com/forums/index.php).
Sometimes plain is good. Ads-free is always good.

P.S. I used to have a Shining Arcanine in Gold. :p

P.P.S. Is there a reason the Winner's Circle (http://www.vbulletin.com/botm.php) hasn't been changed since March 2006? :confused:

[The Chief]

I would like to nominate our boards once more :D

I tried nominating my own board a couple of times in 2005, it wasnt drawn from the hat for voting, although it got seconded every time, so i'll try again now :)

Well, I have never done this before, can't hurt to try right? lol

Worth a shot :) Our site is now 5 years old and has recently had a face lift. Im very pleased by it and think it has a unique feel. So let me just briefly explain some of the features.

URL : http://www.mmorpg-zone.net/forum/

The site was originally a fansite for the online game Legend Of Mir, but now because of our userbase moving to new games has had to adapt. We now focus on several games, and any game with a large community or relation with us has a section. Headers are varied for each game:

http://www.mmorpg-zone.net/forum/?styleid=62 (Our main game with two rotating headers)

One area of major customisation was the member profile page:

http://www.mmorpg-zone.net/forum/members/merlin/

I wanted to include game details, real life details and other features of the forum on seperate tabs, and followed a tabuilar system.

Finally just to show you the icons, new posts never seemed to stand out to me, so the new posts icon flashed.

Seconded :o

I am nominating my companies recently launched Gaming Division, LayeredX.

GamerzWorld, I second yours. Although our color schemes are kind of similar, guess that is why I like it

You have good reason to be pleased with the facelift. I'm impressed by it too. :)

I'll second (third?) this board (http://www.mmorpg-zone.net/forum/) too.

I would like to nominate our forum --

vBulletin FAQ

www.vbulletin-faq.com (http://www.vbulletin-faq.com)

(forum at http://www.vbulletin-faq.com/forum/)

Our site is dedicated to the vBulletin Administrator and has tutorials, forums, internet news, and vBulletin related product / service reviews.

[Ohiosweetheart]

I second vBulletin FAQ. This is a fantastic site!

[dilbert]

Pick me, pick me. :) See sig.

[Kru]

I 3rd: www.mmorpg-zone.net/forum (http://www.mmorpg-zone.net/forum) . It is useful community for gamers on several game and I really love the style and the structure of the forum.

[noppid]

I third the vote for vBulletin-faq.

[tgreer]

I like vbhackers as a strict "coding" community, with open, public discussions... but they're already likely to win the "sister" competition at vb.org. So... I "4th" for www.vbulletin-faq. They have a real sense of fun, without letting it overwhelm the core value of the site, the content. Lots of articles, and the actual forum section is well-structured, including a new "graphics" section that already has some great content.

Seconded :o

Thanks for that...

Thanks Alot Guys! By strange coincidence, I just voted for vbhackers on vb.org BOTM contest.

[Isaac Brody]

I'd like to nominate my own brand spanking new forum.

http://www.babegoboom.com

It's still in its early stages, but I'm happy with the look now and just trying to get people on board.

I may as well nominate my board..just over 12 months old.

[camuca77]

Nominating my new forum => http://www.salsalogy.com (http://www.salsalogy.com/)

It is 25 days old with vBulletin! :eek: It is becoming the top Salsa and Dance Portal in Turkiye. Type "Salsa Turkiye" in Google or Yahoo and there it is.

Salsalogy.com work is still in progress however it is a good example of what you can achieve by using vbulletin and other programs. Some of the features include multiple style changes, image gallery, downloads, music players, vbradio, vbSEO, and many others.

Soon including mediawiki (work in progress), classifieds (work in progress), listings and ecommerce (work in progress). :cool:

Look at the current features that have been included less than a month!

And if you have any suggestions you are welcome to let me know.

P.P.S. Is there a reason the Winner's Circle (http://www.vbulletin.com/botm.php) hasn't been changed since March 2006? :confused:Hi Chewy :)

Yeah, I've run into problems with time and energy lately and the winner's circle suffered because of it. Lame excuse I know. I've sent the update to Boxy and she should be updating the page real soon. Thanks for the concern.:)

Scott

[s.molinari]

Because of my just updating the winner's circle, I just realized that this contest will be having it's 5th Anniversary in July. (I can't believe the time has gone by so fast. Must be having fun.:D)

Therefore, we will be giving July's contest a bit of a better prize to celebrate the anniversary. What the prize will be will be announced soon. So keep up with the nominations.;)

I was new to this whole thing and inevitably stumbled upon (and got confused by) the page.
That's no lame excuse. I use it too. :p

Wow, that is a long time.

A better prize means I'd better get my site done in a couple of days (right) if I'm going to have a chance at the July BotM! :rolleyes:

[kiwilerner]

Never done this before ... but what the heck. :) I posted this description at vb.org, and since it pretty much encapsulates the reasons this might be worth a gander, I'll repeat it here.

The EpiGuide (http://www.epiguide.com) is pretty much the first and only community devoted to original, web-based entertainment, in particular ongoing series / websoaps. We currently consist mostly of creative types who produce these small series, but my aim has always been to attract the audience that will appreciate this new form of entertainment. We create articles about the series to highlight interesting plotlines & characters, as well as writing behind-the-scenes production help (such as how to write more effectively, webhosting reviews, etc.)

After an endless period of procrastination, I've finally moved our small community from vb2 to vb3.5 this week. Woohoo! I also took advantage of the opportunity to revamp my site's design and create a unique style from the ground up.

Anyway. Things to look at include:

- Layout of the forumbits on forumhome; very different from the ordinary. I wanted something much less traditional.
- Completely revamped navbar that uses a different dropdown script altogether;
- Custom statusicons for each forum;
- Sidebar that pulls content from our directory (the wonderful "Links & Downloads Manager" from vb.org's woefully underrecognized AndrewD), chat room stats, latest threads, etc.;
- User profiles using a tweaked version of a profile rewrite;
- Spiffy postbit;
- Tons more vb.org mods including vbJournal, FlashChat (thanks to Paul's awesome integration), quizzes (none created yet), the abovementioned directory (with a highly customized linkbit), vbPlaza, welcome headers, personalized stickies, and more! All of which have been tweaked a bit to maintain the theme throughout.
