Happy Birthday BGO

It's been 3 years since we snipped the burgundy and gold ribbon with that giant pair of scissors and opened this place up to the public. Seems like yesterday in some ways, and then again, seems like we've had this place 'envisioned' for a lot longer than that.

Every year on this day, I ask myself if we've lived up to our credo, to be the most intelligent community of Washington Redskins fans on the web, and our mission statement. I hope we have. We've certainly met our baseline goal. We have never sought to be hugely trafficked, or to have a membership in the 10's of thousands. We said early on, and still believe it - if we could create a really cool place to talk about the team we love with a couple hundred of our best friends - that would be what success looked like.

Here's to success

Thank you for joining us for the ride and thanks for helping us make this a pretty cool little corner of the Redskins web-o-sphere.

Pretty freakin' great job to the owners. You guys have created a magnificent hang out with close friends and intelligent discussion.

A sincere thank you from all of us.

Yeah, I truly consider this a small family of Redskins' fans. You've done a wonderful job here! Kudos gentlemen! I for one look forward to saying hello to you all each day! Thank you!

Hard to believe it's already been so long. Congrats guys. This place has become exactly what we'd all been missing.

In my travels online through the world of NFL fandom on the interwebz, this is still the best NFL fansite around.

Congratulations, guys, job well done; the best owners, the best mods, the best information and-most importantly-the best members.
