My hope is that everyone will click the Amazon link once every day, even if there's no purchase planned. That sets a 24 hour cookie, so any purchase within 24 hours will be credited to us. But that only goes for the Amazon link, I don't want members to click any of the other ads (which only guests see). The goal is to make the board self-sufficient and not need donations every couple of years. We're getting close to that goal (if things continue to go as they have been). 5 minutes ago, SkippyX said: @Shalodeep If you know you were in the archive threads like the SB leadup or SB gameday or Foles in the playoffs then you can click on your profile to the left of your post in that thread. That's what I did. That's a good idea. We have the Super Bowl GDT specially archived here: http://archives.eaglesmessageboard.com/SuperBowlLII/archives.eaglesmessageboard.com/SuperBowlLII/boards.philadelphiaeagles.com/topic/743131-super-bowl-lii-gdt-vs-new-england-eagles/index.html Clicking the links won't work, because it's on our server and the links try to link to the old EMB (which isn't there anymore), but the profile links would be associated with the members posts, and that would make it a whole lot easier to locate someone in the archive.

I told the board is still going and it's run by fans now.

Several others who were lost in the wilderness, wound up finding us that way. Sadly I don't think so. I took a small break and came back during the draft. Watched a dude get pegged with a beer for climbing a light pole during the parade XD decided to avoid some Philly for a little bit.
August 22, 20223 yr @Bwestbrook36 I just Googled Eagles Message Board and it was the first in the link. I was really surprised that it was this and it was still alive. GG @VaBeach_Eagle and friends.

I posted it and didn't look back, there were comments? I'll have to go check it out. I still think that using the YouTube channel in some capacity would (could) be a good source of board revenue (eventually). If I shave my head, I could pretend I'm Dave and do an "Eagles Live" call in show... or maybe I could 'go postal' after Eagles losses and be an Eagles version of Shango ... lol

GG @VaBeach_Eagle and friends. I hired someone to duplicate the skin/theme so that it would be identical to the old EMB. I could have done it myself, but I have too much going on to be able to do it as quickly as he did it. The first 10 days or so of our existence, it could be a bit confusing because both boards were running. Often times I'd post over there, thinking I was over here lol. Ah, good times! I also tried my best to get the original database from the Eagles, but through the email back and forth with Dave, he said that 'legal' had privacy concerns and then there was the pandemic, so they didn't have time to worry about pesky things like the fans. So we just kind of fell through the cracks. If we'd gotten the original database (intact with member list), we could have at least emailed everyone. But there was no way that they'd give us all that personal info. We'd have had to have deleted the member list but at least keep the posts as an EMB historical archive (for Google to index for searches to find us). In the end, we got nothing but that's ok. I still have plans for getting the most important thread merged onto this board. But that's down the road a little, after we upgrade and I have the time to devote to it. Everyone really came though, though. The GoFundMe went over $3,000 in a matter of a couple of days. Once the 2020 season hit, we had to upgrade the hosting service. Gameday traffic was too much for the original package to handle. In fact, we had to upgrade another time after that, too. For the same reason. This coming seasons Super Bowl run will be interesting to see what happens. Will our second Lombardi require a new upgrade? I guess we'll soon see.

August 23, 20223 yr Welcome back! I was on for years too, and one day I couldn't log in anymore and walked away. Found out later the board had changed. Chatting with a mod, they helped me get back on.

So you weren't aware of Dave's announcement (2 and a half years ago), that the Eagles were killing the EMB (due to 'inactivity' )? Read through this thread, there's some info and links to what happened and some links to get you to the archive.org archives that I made of the old board before it went belly up. Specifically, the old member list. I'll need the link to your old profile in the archive, if you want me to re-set your board stats to include the old EMB stats.

But once it is, and I have a local copy on my hard drive, I can more easily search for specific names and get the info. It'll take a good while to get all 104 pages of the archive downloaded though. I set it to download the first 20 pages and it's about half way through... after almost 24 hours.

I'm glad to be back, and look forward to spending time with the best fans in the league again. For those who don't remember me, probably all of you, I've been a fan since Randall Cunningham blew my mind. I'm a Limey, previously of London and probably got drunk with some of you the weekend the Eagles were over. I felt I was among my people. I've since moved to Spain but carry my Eagles passion with me. Really excited to see how this season develops, I have really high hopes. In particular, I want to see this defense for real - Some great players drafted and otherwise acquired. Go Birds! I found you in the archive, if you want you your old stats added here, I can take care of that for you. Here's a link to your old profile, if you want to get things like member number and join date to add to your profile here. https://web.archive.org/web/20200426212256/https://boards.philadelphiaeagles.com/profile/167981-kiwinavega/
