Born July 27, 1999, in a dimly lit apartment, in the wee hours of the morning, the switch was flipped and the rest, as they say, is history.
Tom put this up the other day, but in case you've never seen it, here's how it looked back in 1999:

Not much better today, right?
And here's what the message board looked like in its first incarnation:

You can click on the links and see some of the topics, and even read some of the posts. Although I'm not certain if that will work for all threads or even most of them, but I just did pull up a thread from March of 2000.
Anyway, I just want to say, once again, THANK YOU to each and every one of you over the years that have made this place the king of horse racing message boards. Without ALL OF YOU, this place would not still be here.
You all are GREAT!
With much peace and love.
