The class of 2007 is here, meaning any union made this year could have a chance to win my best unions award. Of course, it's only that top unions that do however, and I'd like to give those unions their recognition that they deserve for being among the best made this year. I am not giving any union a certain award, just the top unions is the order in which they were made. So, the most recent unions are last on the list.
1) Portable System Wars
Date Created: Jan. 13th
# of Members: 1392
# of Views: 128289
Description: The first union to grace this list is a popular one. Portable System Wars boomed to huge activity, and popularity in its first four months, with plenty of contests, discussions and such to make it still popular (though not nearly as active) today. Looking to discuss or debate portable systems, this is the place to go.
2) The Elder Scrolls Fan Union
Date Created: Jan. 31st
# of Members: 1992
# of Views: 244923
Description: It helps that I lead this union, but anyway, TESFU is second in views among unions made this year, slightly behind the next entry on the list, the Consoles Debate Union. It also holds the highest amount of members for any union this year. Also, it boasts weekly features such as Weekly Dungeons, Mods of the Week, and Elder Scrolls Literature among much more for the ultimate archive experience. It has been nominated for union that should be gamespot endorsed at the union awards.
3) Consoles Debate Union
Date Created: Feb. 10th
# of Members: 498
# of Views: 251671
Description: The most viewed union made this year, the Consoles Debate Union has an excellent core of posters throughout. Not a system wars or fanboy union, CDU imposes strict rules on its members to prevent fanboyism. They contain debate and discussion threads, officer roles and more.
4) Graphic Studio
Date Created: Mar. 4th
# of Members: 332
# of Views: 151050
Description: Perhaps the prettiest union made this year, Graphic Studio is a designers universe, sharing sigs of the week. They also hold a colosseum, tutorials, and requests. It has been nominated for best presentation at the union awards.
5) Club Whatever
Date Created: Jun. 12th
# of Members: 1255
# of Views: 143605
Description: Already the top all-topic union on GameSpot, Club Whatever boasts tons and tons of posting, as well as a deep community of members. There are plenty of competitions, member profiles, and more. Both leaders, now and previous ones have been extremely helpful with the union's growth. It has been nominated for best off-topic/discussion union.
6) Union Leader Council
Date Created: Jun. 23rd
# of Members: 153
# of Views: 30284
Description: A bit more of an exclusive union, only for union leaders, the ULC had a period of growth, decline, and is now in a renaissance under lazdude. It boasts assistance applicants that will help you with your union, elections, and union reviews. It's been nominated for best off-topic/discussion union at the GameSpot union awards.
7) Nintendo Revolution
Date Created: Jul. 12th
# of Members: 366
# of Views: 138119
Description: A very active new Nintendo Union, with in-game tournaments, a hall of fame, a hurt'n'heal and much more. One of the most active and informative console unions this year.
8 ) Thinking Outside the Box Union
Date Created: Oct. 6th
# of Members: 602
Description: Perhaps the most helpful union out there for writers, the very new TOTB has some excellent features. It's editorial central here, with even a tutorial video for new members, a magazine, and feature of the week. Already at 600 members in under two months, TOB has a lot of growing to still do.
