ARCHIVE: Visual history of TOL.

[Nathon Detroit]

In this thread I will do my best to catalog a running history of TOL though the ages.

Look what I dug up! A screen shot of the very first version of TheologyOnLine. Notice we didn't yet own the domain name "theologyonline.com".

This screen shot was taken Oct 27th 1997 - I am not sure how long TOL was up and running before this shot was taken.

Then we entered the hot carmel phase....

This is also when we officially got the domain name theologyonline.com

This is when TOL really started to get rolling.

I think this is 2001-ish?

Then TOL changed its look and took on a very clinical (some may even say) hospital-ish look.

circa 2002

I am a tad fuzzy on what look came next....

You might notice I didn't take some of these screen shots. They were submitted to the old gallery from various TOL members and that's why I have them.

circa 2003

This is so "yesterday".

Knight,

It would be just as interesting to see all the avatars you have used throughout the years! When I joined in June 2003 you had the "purple knight" avatar.

I printed a few pages of this back in the day (I did not have regular internet access). It killed my inkjet. Remember "timruah"? and "Kirk"? I still have the printed pages in a binder on my bookshelf. 4/10/99

I do too. If my scanner was working I'd post them.


The subjects are:

relevance of non-Pauline scriptures
Jewish believers
Preparation for Revelation
Galatians
Galatians 2:1-6
the two gospels
What do we do with Peter?
do we toss it out?

(you don't think dispensation was a big topic back then, do you?)

The copies I have are from the members

Mark T
timruah
Gidget
Roger du Barry
Jeremy Finkenbinder
Jane Clark
Steve Covington

Some of these posters were really great. I wish I knew what happened to them.

Or are they still here under different names? :think:

Jeremy Finkenbinder => *Acts9_12Out*

Yes, I know he is but does he post here under another name?
