Although this is definitely a place where men rule I'd like to point out a few features that make hystersisters.com a unique community.
Besides being an all women site, hystersisters.com uses vbulletin and its database for most of the rest of the site.
The main page of the domain is integrated, using Vb templates. Guests see a different main page than the members....with help for the guests/visitors ( mostly newbies) on how to use the site, how to register and such). I can add, edit, alter, hand select favorite threads for the main page all through the templates. Its my favorite function of the integration.
Calendar events include birthdays and surgery dates since their membership revolves around another date....a hack added this to our profiles and the calendar.
We send out birthday greetings and surgery "get well" greetings to all the members via a cron.
We have special subscriber groups that get additional benefits (avatars, custom titles, photogallery, etc) from payments we call "crown jewels".
We have integrated PhotoPost into our vb.
We have integrated Raidersoft's Platinum chat software into our vb for registered members only.
We are about to launch one on one "customer service" feature as well, all set to go...integrated into vb.
Because of the awesome software of VB and the additional hacks available and the wonderful support team here, on ORG and by hire....I believe hystersisters.com is a great resource for the 25,000 members. (Yes, we purge our membership list too...keeping our database with working emails.....purging un-activated user accounts).
Thanks for the nomination guys...and thanks for your continued help and support helping me to keep hystersisters.com up and running for so many women who need help.
