Well thanks to my friend wineo who inspired this great idea, I decided to start the site of the month contest.
Make your submition to the contest by repling here with your site's title, url, category and a brief description.
In the meanwhile members of the forum will be able to vote for the site that they like most.
The winner's prize will be a text link in this site (we will also add an 'archive' section later with listings of all the winners) and a link from topsites directory homepage(pagerank 5) for 3 months!
Also we will add a special badge besides your avatar to let the others know of your skills
Here is an example submition for the award :
Title : Safe Surf URL :http://www.safe-surf.org Category : proxy site Description : SafeSurf is a web site that helps you surf the web secure and anonymous.
The creterias that we want from your site to comly with are the above, and you can have one or more of them :
Custom design Fresh - usefull content Case study web site idea (meaning that your site is somehow 'original' in this copy cat web...)
Please don't use this contest to spam the forum. If I see that there are lots of non posting members posting their sites here, those posts will be propably deleted. I am sorry if this is rude to you, but contests are actually like a gift to the people that really support this site and like it enough to be here now and then

I've got a few questions about the competition if you don't mind... 1. What will the site be judged on? (design, content, original idea, all...) 2. Does the site have to be in English? 3. Can we enter one or several sites?
For now I'll just submit this one:
Title : php.mnu URL :http://phpmnu.bugfix.nl Category : Website Navigation Script Description : I've created the php.mnu navigation script to use on one of my own websites. I couldn't find a good script that I liked so I created my own. This was also my first php and MySQL work ever.

Let me answer your questions.
1. What will the site be judged on? (design, content, original idea, all...)
The site will be judged on all of these, but it can be judged only by one of them. So take those as factors that will be used for ranking a site. A site can be the winner because it has great design, but sites that have great design too and some usefull content will rank better. Hope I make this clear(I know my english s**ks)
2. Does the site have to be in English?
No its ok if you have an international web site, but this way you wont be ranked for the content of the site, except if someone here talks the language that your site supports.
3. Can we enter one or several sites?
I would say no to this, because this could be a good reason for forum abuse, but don't worry, because I plan to keep this contest for a long time so you will be able to post your other sites on the forthcoming site of the month contests (there will be propably one per month or more if there is a lot of interest)
If you have any further questions, feel free to reply here.
What about adult sites? Are they legal to post, I dont want to be offensive or disrespectfull to anyone.
please do ehhh I mean, I don't think so, since this forum doesn't ask for a certain age to join (Nikolas is only 12 don't be fooled by that picture, its his father ) I guess this would be inapropriate to post here

I'll add one of mine Title : The Forbidden Forest URL :http://www.the-forbidden-forest.net Category : Online Community Description : The Forbidden Forest is a Harry Potter fan site I helped develop with custom themes, images, forum templates etc together with extensive use of Apaches mod_rewrite function to shorten url's. It attracts users from all over the world despite being a prediminantly english language site and I like to think it keeps some of the much younger generation off the streets and out of mischief. It isn't the best site I have had a hand on but it does serve a useful community function.
I wish I was an Oscar winner
