Vote for your favorite board in vB Board of the Month - May.

[s.molinari]

Hi all,

So, here goes attempt number three. Scott and Freddie worked on the problems. Let's see if polls work now.

Again, please look at all the boards before you vote and have a blast!:)

Scott

Voting guide lines
1. This month only 5 nominees are up for voting.
2. The person voting may judge a board on his or her own personal criteria. So what makes a board worth voting for, is up to each individual voter. Comments as to why or why not a person votes for a board are welcome as long as the comments are constructive in nature.
3. A board could be disqualified or lose votes when:

- the owner or any other person rallies for votes. This does not include mentioning just the fact that the board is in the contest. You may also point out "features" in this thread.

- the owner or any other person adds more than three users to their "Admins" list in the Member's area. Be aware that the userids are saved with the poll votes and these userids can be bumped up against the "admins" list that vb.com has on record. That means this type of cheating can be caught, so don't even think about doing it.

- the style of the board is changed sometime during the month of voting. The board's style must stay the same throughout the month.
4. Do not post accusations of cheating or immoral conduct. Anyone who has a grief should send me a PM.
5. As a last request: Please write only positive comments. If you must write something negative please add a suggestion on how what you don't like may be improved. Thanks.
If you have any more opinions/ ideas for other guidelines or opinions on these guidelines, please feel free to post them.

my vote has gone towards f2. yaxay seems to have lost its edge, not so "great" anymore.

vBulletin of the Month for May 2003

Thank you to all of those who nominated and seconded Final Fantasy Republic into the final 5 for May 2003. It's a true honor to have run against Yaxay and F2 in which are both great organizations.

I'll take it upon myself to be thankful no matter what the outcome.

[d2alio]

dunno why, but i'm drawn to Forum-Forum... possibly because the category headers are using the graphic style of my old GamersLive style... ;) But anyway, my goes to Forum-Forum... normally i'd do yaxay, but for some reason I don't feel like it haha :p

[nocturnix]

Well thank you everyone for giving the little guy a chance. Being the underdog is rough at times :)

I appreciate all your votes thus far, and I would like to say once again Forum-Forum goes up against some very stiff competition, last time we ran we got beat out by vbulletin.org.

I am honored to be running against such fantastic forums this month!

Also be sure to check out our interview of Wayne Luke (http://www.forum-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=965)!

[AlexUK]

Yaxay is the Best!! :)

[Geminy]

I vote vB-Ita.org , very simple and nice :) .

[AWS]

Yaxay is the Best!! :)
Hardly. If you like slow loading forums then I guess it is the best.

Voted for vbulletin-fr.com

Looks good and loads fast.

[nuno]

forum-forum.
Good luck all.

SURE DO! :D

[OrionGraphix]

Good luck everyone.

Voted for vbulletin-fr.com

i think that you have to look at it for what it is... yaxay is a graphics community...anyone who's serious about graphics is NOT going to be on a slow connection... in fact, most graphic artists are going to have PC's almost equivalent to that of a hardcore PC gamer...and by that I mean it's going to be a pretty damn good and fast system not on a weak connection...

[AlexUK]

Voted for vbulletin-fr.com

They both load fine for me, but vbulletin-fr.com looks boring, colours and style IMO.

[Haakon]

forum-forum for me. forum-forum should win, ffrepublic and yaxay has allready won, and I don`t understand the point of running them again.

[Myst3ry]

I Vote vB-Ita.org .

[Xelation]

forum-forum for me. forum-forum should win, ffrepublic and yaxay has allready won, and I don`t understand the point of running them again.

If you have won a vbotm you must wait a year again to run in vbotm... ffr and yaxay have both waited a year to run again and both have new designs so saying that... thats why I believe we they should both be able to run again.

[Black Vivi]

nearly went for f2, but i like yaXay just a lil bit better...

[nocturnix]

::cough:: /agree ::cough::

:rolleyes:

[Xelation]

::cough:: /agree ::cough::

the rules state that they can so let it be. :D

[TheDPQ]

ffrepublic and yaxay has allready won, and I don`t understand the point of running them again.
Yes, over a year ago, with a older design. We have added so much to the board, and features to yaxay itself, i don't see why not *shrugs*

I had though you weren't suposed to put a board down in this kind of posts, but it appears i was wrong.

Good luck to everyone. Everyone. Each board has its own pros and cons. I suppose in the end its all down to personal preference.

[Chris Gwynne]

yaxay.com ;)

[nocturnix]

My apologies...inappropriate of me to mention my opinion on this issue in this particular thread. I'll keep my mouth shut now :)

Lesson learnt :p

[AlexUK]

I voted Yaxay because its a quality forum as well as a brilliant design. Its just a fantastic community all together. :)

I`m not putting down the boards. I remember I voted for both yaxay and ffrepublic back in the days. And i know the rules, it`s them I just would like to question a bit. I think the nature of this competition is that people click on to the award page to look at all the sites and get inspiration. It doesn`t matter when they got the award, because it`s evident that the design changes over time.

I`m not going haywire over this, allthough it might seem like it ;)

[Christian4SE]

Hello guys,
The best is vb-ita.org! ;)

[johann62]

Hello, I will want to nominate vbulletin-fr.com. (http://www.vbulletin-fr.com (http://www.vbulletin-fr.com/))
A very good bearing French site on the subject vbulletin.

@ +++ :)

Someone saying they don't see why a board should run again after winning is not a put-down.

No need to be so defensive -- That's how these threads end up spiralling down into bicker-fests.

On that note, I vote for forum-forum because it hasn't won yet. :D

[XYPHEN]

I voted for ffrepublic.com (http://forums.ffrepublic.com/) they r the coolest.. go afterlab!

Thank you for the vote and great compliments. FFR needs every vote possible. ;) Thanks again, AViO 07. :cool:

[sissy]

I vote vb-ita :) .

[caligula]

i vote vbulletin-fr.com (http://www.vbulletin-fr.com/forum/)

[Craigr]

forum-forum gets my vote.

Very nice.

Craig

[HexOnxOnx]

forum-forum.

Yaxay used to be ok before the heavy graphics took over. I have cable and I get tired of every graphic reloading on every page. I used to visit that site everyday till the heavy graphics took over.

[mafo0]

I voted for FFR :), and I hope they win.

[Smoothie]

hmm, yea, yaxay back in the day. There's a new sheriff in town, and his name ain't yayay.. LOL

[IDN]

Forum-Forum, nice board out there

[colicab-d]

is it poss to nominate artorg again as.. we didnt even realise we had been nominated last time never got any email or anything about it and hadnt checked cause quite frankly didnt expect it :P

[DirectPixel]

My vote goes to FFR.:)

Great integration there, with many useful features added, and just overall a great community.:) I especially like how everything there goes with a relevent theme -- all the graphics work together, and the focus of the forum is immediately apparent.

Great job!:)

[qxh]

w00t

yaXay has my vote!

[caveman]

My vote goes to forum-forum.com.

Its a well thought out community board and the best of its topic that Ive seen if not pretty much the only one. A couple of cool skins, and some prominent members and staff, it just seems to be well rounded and active. You actually get something out of posting there. Yaxay was close to it, but its a bit old and big its a little lost in itself at times.

[Pie]

I would also like to vote for ArtOrg

[Dean C]

Wow forum-forum is racing ahead :)

I still haven't decided where to place my vote this month :)

- miSt

[Attrox]

My vote went to FFRepublic.com. They have some great features that no other sites have, along with a great design.

[donBLACK]

forum-forum.com... how many times can i site win?/ how do sites get nominated?

[s.molinari]

forum-forum.com... how many times can i site win?/ how do sites get nominated?Hi donBLACK,

A site can win once a year. Around every 15th of every month I start a thread for nominations for the next month. You can nominate your board at that time but it must be seconded to get into the draw. If your board is in the draw it must be pulled with 4 other sites to get into the poll. June's nominations have already been selected. (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=71583) You can try to nominate your board on June 15th for July.

Scott

[donBLACK]

aw ok...thx

[Majjec]

My vote goes to fourm-forum.com. Its a great resource for up and coming forum junkies and has a great active community, a great skin, and all around a good site. Good Luck!

[nocturnix]

Thanks for the votes and support everyone! I am very pleased, and proud to have done this well thus far.

It's not over yet and I realize that, so I wont say anymore.

I would just like to say weve been having some very serious problems the past 24 hours.

Our host moved us to a new server, because the old one was going crazy with server loads. The move went very...roughly, and we lost some posts due to outdated backups etc.

As if things couldnt get any worse, our datacentre NAC caught on fire in the same day! Luckily our server didnt melt, but we experienced serious outages, and with the combination of the quarky server move, we have just been going through hell!

Lucky I have a great team to back me up and help in times of need, I'd like to thank Richy, my other admin for fixing so many major and minor problems that have plagued us the last 24 hours. Without him, the forums would have definately lost some data, and most likely still be down! :) Mind you Richy managed to keep forum-forum up, repair and update the outdated database on our new server, and prevent the ensuing of total chaos. :)

Current Status as of GMT Standard time: 05/28/03 5:53AM SERVER DOWN.

Anyways, thanks again...and hope you all dont mind the quick update on our situation.

Although it's not over, Congratulations Forum-Forum for the win.

[nocturnix]

I would just like to say thanks to everyone who voted.

We went up against some very stiff competition this month, and I'm proud to say that even being the underdog we managed to come out on top!

For those who found a new home at Forum-Forum, I thank you also, and look forward to providing you with great new and exciting forum related tools and information!

Thanks again,

Well done f2!!

[Xelation]

nocturnix, not to be rude, but you did go up against stiff competition... but you only won because people felt sorry for the little guys and thought you should win because yaxay and ffrepublic already won once... we all know that ffrepublic and yaxay should have really won but congratulations anyways

[s.molinari]

Congrats go to Forum-Forum.com. Our vBulletin Board of the Month Winner!:)

that was extremely rude :mad:

I thought so too. I think someone is just a little hurt or jealous. Maybe his ego is getting in the way.

[Xelation]

my ego did not get in the way, I could really care less if yaxay won or not... I'm just stating the obvious :)

[Arkham]

nocturnix, not to be rude...

Whoaah... Foul. Way out of line.

And wrong.

[Steve Machol]

my ego did not get in the way, I could really care less if yaxay won or not... I'm just stating the obvious :)It wasn't obvious to me. And unfortunately it was rude. IMO there was no reason to post it at all.

I'm bored with my life and need to entertain myself sometimes, sorry thats how I am and it's most likly never going to change... I'm sorry if I upset you but I'm just stating my opinion just like everyone else gets to here.

[nocturnix]

Personally, I'd wrather not hear any more bashing of my forums here...

I wouldnt object if this thread was closed. :confused:

Anyway, congrats nocturnix, the win was well deserved.

Your rudeness didn't upset me. Also the next time you feel the need to 'entertain' yourself, either try a more constructive activity, or find somewhere else to do it. ;)
