PaceAdvantage.com turns 18-years-old this month!
Holy freakin' cow (or should I say BULL)!?!?!?
18 years?!?!?!
This website is old enough to vote now.
I can't believe I've been running this place since July 27, 1999.
But here is the proof...the furthest back I go on the Wayback Machine (their first snapshot is in October 1999...but you can see the 7/27/99 date at the bottom of the page):

18 years old??? That's more mature than a portion of the people that post here!!:lol::lol:
To be serious, congrats Mike. Thank you for the site, and all that you (and the mods) do. This site has helped me learn a lot, laugh a lot, and I've rolled my eyes so hard at times that I've almost Yahtzee'd..... I have only had the opportunity to meet one person from here in real life, but feel like I know so many here.
Hope the next 18 are great, and thanks again!
Love the poll question on that link....should PVal be allowed to ride again? How many times have you used that one since? :lol:

You did a great job here. Did you ever anticipate the popularity of this site when you first started it?

You're confusing numbers on the alexa website...I'm nowhere near that popular.
And for the record, alexa stats are estimates, and some of them are WAY OFF, unless they are directly hooked into your site, which they are not here...

Congratulations PA on 18 years. A lot of great horse racing information has gone under the bridge here in that time.
I found this site as a member of the old YouBet message board and someone mentioned it on there. Ahhh, the less than great memory of the old dial up days and the minuscule video screens that would invariably freeze up mid stretch with my horse on a tenuous lead....
I thought when I got a cable modem I would never lose at this game. Somehow I proved myself wrong on that one...

Wow! 18 years.
Amazing run.
I remember my first few times here....just a few people at the time. Boy did that change in a hurry. The old food fights in OT, in the racing section, ATM_ATW, Peep, Frank, Kat, Sain......you've had a better line up then Law & Order! :pound:
Met a lot of great people through this place over the years, in the real world. Including YOU!
C O N G R A T S U L A T I O N S!!!!!!
And Happy Birthday.

Congratulations on a remarkable achievement PA.
Other than Brisnet (for file downloads) this is the only horse racing site that I visit.
Wishing you continued success always.

Congratulations PA. You've done a great job with this site. There are so many knowledgeable people here. Handicapping, wagering, racetracks, the industry as a whole etc. (and any other topic one may have questions about) I know you recently did an upgrade to the site and it is very quick now and works great on my computer and my phone. I know you have to do your share of babysitting here but otherwise I like your hands off approach.
For example Facebook is obsessed with forcing user interaction. (I know FB is free and if I don't like it I don't have to use it) I log in to FB on my phone and it calls me Bob. (that's my name) "How are you Bob? You recently took this photo would you like to post it? We made a little video of your last 6 months here would you like to share it?" Facebook I am not interested in sharing every cup of coffee and every toilet flush with every person I have ever met. We get it. If I want to post something, I will! If I am seeking more friends I will do a search!
OK my rant is over. Keep doing what you're doing PA.:ThmbUp:

Congrats!
After a few years of posting on the DRF message board, it was shut down. It was by accident that I found this site. So glad I did.
