Compare www.maxvotes.com with www.l2topzone.com
maxvotes ? based on punbb?shit, l2topzone based on smf.
Edit:Noticed something on maxvotes when you open a topic look what happens:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /mnt/w0607/d47/s48/b0323b0c/www/public_html/forum/viewforum.php on line 236
