TOL in 1997

[Nathon Detroit]

Look what I dug up....
FIRST VERSION OF TOL.
(above link is to a larger version of the screen shot).

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.

:shocked: :shocked: I remember that. :shocked: :shocked:

"The idea here is for you to be the student and the professor."

That's soooooo cool! What I wouldn't give to see some of the posts from back then.

Remember when "Can God Change?" was huge?

I started posting at TOL in the late '90s, but I don't think it was as early as '97.

I heard about it while chatting with some guy from Knight's church.

Same here! He kept telling me how great the site was and how I really need to check it out.

Deja Vu! Maybe it was the same person!

How times have changed. It's weird to be a newish person and see what TOL used to look like.

How come every time I try to view one of those pictures, it tells me that I do not have permission.

They simply won't load for me -- I get everything but the picture. And after attempting to view them, no other pictures will load in any browser window. I have to close them all and start again, or I can't even finish loading a normal page.

Or call each other names!

And posts had to be no more than 3 short paragraphs. Did you hear that, PureX?
