January 1st is the day of the biggest event of the year on TheologyOnline.com, yes, it's the 2012 Posts of the Year awards with your host, Knight (that's me). As you know every year (since 2002) I countdown the greatest posts made on TOL every year. You may ask yourself "how are these posts picked"? Well, the picking goes something like this.... I round-up all the Post of the Day picks that I have made each year and then they are ranked by me as to my favorites.

The first 2012 inductee into the TOL HALL OF FAME is...

Vegas Cowboy

Vegas Cowboy has been a loyal member and great friend to TheologyOnline for the past several years. He has also shown up in the Posts of the Year many times. But ultimately Vegas Cowboy makes it into the Hall of Fame because I love reading his posts and when I occasionally feel like TOL is more trouble than it's worth it's folks like Vegas Cowboy who make it all worth it to me.

Congratulations Vegas Cowboy!

The second 2012 inductee into the TOL HALL OF FAME is...

Rusha

While Rusha and TOL don't see eye to eye spiritually Rusha is a staunch defender of innocent life in the womb and for those already born. Rusha has also been a great supporter of TOL for several years. I pray that Rusha comes to the Lord and I am confident that will happen some day.

Congratulations Rusha!

The fourth 2012 inductee into the TOL HALL OF FAME is...

kmoney

kmoney or "kmo" is another TOL legend, and while he isn't always on the same side of the issues as the TOL staff kmo is an invaluable friend to TOL. Through thick and thin kmoney is always there on TOL giving his honest opinion and keeping a great attitude.

Congratulations kmoney!

The fifth and final 2012 inductee into the TOL HALL OF FAME is...

chrysostom

On June 30th, 2005 chrysostom joined TOL and sentence structure has never been the same since. chrysostom is often fond swimming upstream on TOL but that hasn't slowed down his effort and participation on TOL. Almost a decade of participation on TOL sends chrysostom to the Hall.

Congratulations chrysostom!
 

rocketman

Resident Rocket Surgeon
Hall of Fame
I always love these awards, congratulations to all the winners and also thank you to all of you for making TOL the most interesting place to be on the internet. I consider you all valuable friends even though many of you, and I, do not see eye to eye. It would be pretty boring here if we did. Thanks Knight for supplying such a fun, interesting place to dialogue. :thumb:

There are several folks that also deserved to be entered into the Hall and it was tough to pick this years inductees. Next year another 5 will make their way in.

Congrats to all the inductees as well as the Post of the Year award winners.
