phpBBHacks.com Featured phpBBs of 2003:
Webmaster Forums
Webmaster Forums are the web development community at the Internet Marketing
Research site. Now, you may be thinking that their design might not warrant
winning the featured phpBB. Their design isn't bad, it has customized header
and footer and it is very tasteful, but you are right - this isn't close to
being one of the best designs we have awarded. So, why then? We award complete
excellence. Attention to detail is huge here. I have seen many really nice
designs on phpBBs. But, for whatever reason, some of these people will leave
the default aqua subSilver buttons that don't match their color scheme. That
gets any forum an automatic dismissal from consideration for this award. These
forums have a well put together color scheme - and they stick to it. All graphics,
links and everything else that you see. Consistent accuracy is the foundation
on which a community can win this award. Webmaster Forums is deserving.

Rocker's Union
Rocker's Union is an online community based on Rocker's Union, a high school
club originating from Taipei American School in Taipei, Taiwan. The Rocker's
Union club is open to any and all people have a love for rock music and are
interested in and feel dedicated to being in their own band. Rocker's Union
serves as a gathering point for such individuals and as a connection to the
rock and music community. Their phpBB is very sleek and well done with a custom
layout and several nicely intergrated hacks.

Ground Zero Genesis is a gaming discussion site focused on PlayStation 2 RPGs,
such as the Final Fantasy and Xenosaga series'. They feature a customized
and very cool phpBB template. There are just so many little things on this

the little things that really count in life and this site has a bunch of them.

eyrc.co.uk is a very slick phpBB 2 integration. The template has been customized
a great, great deal. It includes a lot of custom graphics and custom work.

is integrated as the Articles section.

BigZoo's Big Deals
BigZoo's Big Deals is a constantly updating directory of money saving offers,
etc. But, what we are most concerned with is the very unique phpBB integration
that has happened here. At first, you may not be able to tell that it is phpBB,
but take a look at the copyright notice. If you look, you can also find some
other subtle hints that it is phpBB. It is a very heavily customized and hacked
solution and we have never seen anything like it, which is why we have decided
to award it with the Featured phpBB distinction.

4WebHelp
4WebHelp bills itself as a resource for webmasters and features a heavily
customized phpBB. The site is worthy of this award because of their general
attention to detail, such as all images fitting the reddish color scheme that
they use. It is unique and well thought out.
