Board of the Month?

I think we should have a board of the month contest over here on vb.org as the one on vb.com is somewhat not popular and we would get alot more better critism here and fair rating then on vb.com.

I would also find it would be more of a pride winning here then on vb.com.

Let me know what you people think?

Thanks

Which leads to the age old questions...

Who picks candiates, what do they base their votes on, what makes board A better then board B that it deserves a award for the month.

I agree it would be pretty popular and fun, but the headache might outweigh all that slightly.


on a side note, anyone ever notice how the featured board on vb.com their main page only shows large vBulletins? And that of staff members related to vBulletin products?

I think it would go with the effort the owner puts in as some people might be able to tell and see changes that have been happening.

Maybe you could start a thread "the unoffical board of the month at vBulletin.org", Let people submit their boards, list any modifications done, hacks installed, if they have a unique style or just a plain one, that sorta stuff. Then you/who ever can go check it out, rate it based on some factors, and then make a descision?

I think that would work, if you could find 3-5 other members who are interested in picking such things out

Instead of running parallel competitions on .com and .org, why not merge them into one competition on this forum??

Yup, that would be something to consider and Monthly competitions here at vb.org work better then the vb.com competitions

I think it's a good idea.

When the UBB modding community was active the board of the month was popular. From stock to fully modified boards, any customer could enter. To be fair people could not re-enter their (winning) domain or design within a 3 month period following their win. They could, however, submit a new design from another domain. An optional benefit: 3-time winners are rewarded with a owned license (or renewal). The criteria to win was something like: Design, content, originality...

Yeah, we don't really need to win a prize really, just like a tag or something or else we would have to start giving prizes for the Hack of the Month

I think just having the honor of being selected board of the month out of every one who submits it would be good enough. Maybe we could get the vB.org guys to create a title for the winners?
