    Default Happy Anniversary to The Border!

    It was three years ago today that I opened the Border, a public incarnation of our old private board Flip City which had been created a year prior to that. At the time, we only had one style (the dark blue one) and a handful of members. We didn't know if the board would grow or not, but it didn't matter, because we knew it would be fun!

    And now here we are, three years, almost 500 members, 2000 threads, and 90,000 posts later... still having fun. As more and more people have joined, things have just gotten better.

    I want to thank everyone who participates in this board - you make it what it is. I have met so many people here whom I treasure as friends. Without you guys, it would just me and a bunch of emoticons.

    Thanks again!


    Always in our hearts, Never forgotten

    Congrats Soda and The Border. Nancy you do a fantastic job on this board and the sites and there's no way to express exactly what this board has meant to me since joining. I truly thank you for your love and dedication to all you do. I really wish I would of found and joined the board sooner. Never the less, I am extremely glad that I decided to join here and feel I have made some true cyber friends. I'm also happy that I have gotten the chance to meet several of you in person and have become friends.

    Hope for many many years to come!!

    HAPPY BORDERVERSARY!!!!

    Happy Anniversary to The Border! I've said before what this place means to me. It's a wonderful community, and without it, I would never have travelled to Oklahoma to see Don Henley and met some of the nicest, most generous people I've ever met. Thanks again, Nancy, and I'm raising a glass to many more years of Borderdom!

    Btw - I love the dark blue style!


    you better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on
    you keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside--

    HAPPY BORDERVERSARY TO YOU, NANCY!

    Thanks for making such a wonderful, fun, friendly site for everyone here to discuss our favorite band and it's members (and it's past members, wannabes, and anything else we want to talk about!). And for bringing all of us cyber buddies together from all over the world. You rock!

    Happy Anniversary to the Border from me as well. And Nancy, once again may I echo the sentiments of the others who have posted today in saying how much I love coming here and how much I appreciate the efforts you have put into making it the premier Eagles site online. I have made many wonderful friends here, some of whom I'm in daily contact with and others who drop in and out of my life when our paths cross. I have also had the priviledge of meeting some Borderers in person and hope to meet others at some stage soon.
    We have a wonderful community here which extends far and wide.

    Three cheers for the Border
