Voting

  • A general guideline of what constitutes a good forum should also be stated so that people will have a more in depth way of deciding where their vote goes, rather than voting for name or forum appearance alone.

Good luck,

I 2nd this setup
is everyone else okay with this?
we will then have 2 winners each month

we could do nominations and 2nd's like vb.org has, then we'll take the top 5 and we will post a pool.
only vb owners can vote, nominate or 2nd nominations is what we were thinking.....

Re: BOTM suggestions


I agree, keep it to staff voting. Fact is that with a general vote, in more cases its a popularity vote than a actual "great forum" vote. A staff though should have atleast one each of the following group of people
1) Brandon
2) A designer (Absolute must) A designer can not only judge the design but look at how it does in all browsers and how it degrades say when you are at low resolutions and all.
3) A vbulletin hacker. Installing hacks is one thing, using it to the best extent quite another. Is the best choice of hacks used for that board(looking at optimization and all) and do they add value to the forum
4) A big community developer/owner. Big Board Admin. A guy who has been there done that can look at say how the member is promoting his forum and is he doing the right things.(Organizing contests, looking at say the staff announcement section) and keeping the audience captivated.


I agree with the two way split voting approach for startups and older forums.


And i also think that maybe suggestions can be given by the staff to the runners up guys on how to improve. Especially to the startup forums.
