Name of your forum: DaniWeb
URL to your forum: http://www.daniweb.com

Description: We are an I.T. support community who caters to everyone from software developers to web developers to web designers to those interested in internet marketing and SEO to those who want to talk tech about windows, mac, linux, networking, or hardware.

We have forums, blogs, a code snippet library for our programmers, a tutorial section, a link directory (with some pretty nifty features, that set it apart from the typical directory!), and an irc server.

Category (topic): Everything I.T.
Start date: Sometime in early 2003
Statistics (threads, posts, members, hits) At the time of this writing, 30,800 members, 17,000 threads, 97,000 posts, 160 blog entries, 220 code snippets, and 210 link resources. Our blogs, code library, and link directory are only 2 months old. We currently average about 100 new registrations per day and 400 new posts per day.

vBulletin version: A patched version of vB 3.0.3. I'm waiting for our next feature release before I upgrade.

Styles (default, 1 or more): We have one, unique style. However, since we cover just so much content, the color of the navigation bar in the style along with the logo is used to aid navigation. Each major forum category (which carries over to our categorized blogs and tutorials) is in a different color. Our logo indicates whether you're browsing the forums, blogs, etc.

`- Created by yourself? The entire site was designed exclusively by me. In addition, I self-coded every hack that we use, including the blogging script, code library script, tutorials script, link directory, and portal. All are heavily integrated with the vBulletin system.

Board won awards?

Well, check us out and see for yourself. ;) http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/ - We cater to everyone in the I.T. field, all techies, webmasters, or anyone who just wants to join our community :) Hopefully, the site speaks for itself - and shows you all that we offer.

Why is your forum the best?: It's not. I think it's the best because it's my dream, my creation, and my work. But I wouldn't say that it's better than all other forums out there. I'm too much of a forum junkie for that!
