Glenn Frey Online turns 5!

[Prettymaid]

Oh...okay, got it! I don't think I ever knew that!

Thanks for all of the websites and message boards! It's a good day to celebrate!

Nancy - you rock. (No wonder you and Glenn are such a great match!)

Your site remains the top resource on Mr. Frey and that's something to be incredibly proud of. More than the information, you add a personal touch... A warmth and humour that has brought many fans to your site, and subsequently, this forum. I thank my lucky stars that I found the EOC sites and that I joined The Border. Not only has it given me an outlet in my everyday life - somewhere to talk about the Eagles without eye-rolls and strange looks - but I have met some truly amazing people through this website. I can't stress this enough. I will treasure these friendships for life. This forum took me to Oklahoma and took me to see Don Henley for the very first time... without this site, I wouldn't have done it. I wouldn't have had the MEANS to do it. I am not over-stating this when I say, it's all thanks to you.
Here's to another five years (at least) of Glenn Frey Online!

Thanks guys! I appreciate it! You are making me fell all warm inside.

I've gotten more than anyone else out of this site, though. It's true the only "profit" I receive is new friends and personal gratification that I'm doing something that makes people happy... but that's more than enough for me and far outweighs the negative things that occasionally happen. I'm so glad I decided to create it! And I really do need to find more time to do updating.

Speaking of time, I've been working all day on trying to redesign the site so that it looks better on higher-resolution displays and oh my gosh, it is HARD! Sometimes I think I should just grab a template but then it wouldn't really be "mine".... so hand-coding it is. It just takes so dang long!

I add my congratulations on five years of GFO, Nancy. I am proud to have contributed some of its content and to have been associated with it throughout its life. It is worthy of the man it celebrates.

Of course this is one of the site's highlights:

Well let me too add to the general appreciation of Nancy and all the work she and to nearly the Mods have done for this site. I guess my introduction to it came just about 4 years ago nearly to the day. I had seen Glenn and the Eagles live in Dublin a few months before and had bought the VBO CD and the 'Farewell 1' DVD. I'd surfed the 'Official' site but at the time it was very static. Of course as most of you know, Glenn was (and still is) my favourite, and as in Nancy's case I was disappointed that he didn't have an official website.
So one evening I decided to Google him and the first entry was glennfreyonline, which I duly went into.
I'm telling you, to read that it was 'dedicated to the man' for 'the enjoyment of his fans'!!!!!!! I felt like I'd died and gone to heaven! AND entered Aladins cave!
A short while later I clicked on the Border and read a few posts. then I realised that in order to answer I'd have to join. Well that was easy, and the rest is history!!

I too have 'met' some fabulous people on this board. Within a day or 2 of joining Kate pm'd me with information that I'd been looking for. I have also met Monique, Kate, and Stephanie at gigs, and have been in touch on a regular basis with quite a few other people. Nancy moved heaven and earth to get a guitar signed by our boys to me. I really feel connected to the people on the board and its a great place to share a trouble and celebrate a triumph, small or large. And of course to share our news, opinions likes and dislikes of our favourite band and its members without getting those strange reactions Lou has mentioned.

Congratulations and thank you for all you have done for Glennfreyonline, Eaglesonlinecentral and the Border Nancy! Here's hoping we make at least another 5 years.

Happy 5th Anniversary Glenn Frey Online!

Thanks Soda for this great site (and the individual fan sites as well)!

[sodascouts]

Again, thanks for your kind words, guys!

I, like many of you, stumbled upon the sites by accident. Several years ago (and perhaps even now) if you searched "Eagles", EOC was the 1st or 2nd site that popped up. I'm extremely glad that you had decided to expand the network from GFO and add all the other sites.

I lurked on this message board for a good long time before I finally signed up a few years ago and am extremely glad I did. I've met so many great friends, both in person and cyberly (is that a word? ).

My thanks to you also Nancy. If you hadn't created these sites, I wouldn't have anyone to share my obsession with and wouldn't have met you and forged such a friendship!! Besides, how else would I be able to live vicariously thru everyone's Eagles experiences?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GLENN FREY ONLINE!

Wow, 5 years already?! Thank you so much Nancy, for all the hard work you've put in to all your Eagles sites. I can't even fathom how much time it takes to do all you've done and it's greatly appreciated. I've learned so much and enjoyed every minute and am so glad I "met" you through another site and became your "friend" even though we've never gotten to meet in person. I can remember that a photo of Glenn that you posted, along with a couple from Freypower, turned me in to a "Glenn girl" after many years of being a "Don girl"! They were so HS & G that I just couldn't resist! Of course I still love Don, Tim, and Joe, but Glenn took over my heart for good then. After that, you seemed so nice and friendly that I just had to follow you to Flip City and, of course, to here! I hope I get the chance to meet you in person someday along with all the rest of our Border Buddies! What a great community!
