I wanted to know before this new formate was there not in the late 90's an ungoing thread. Also I am confused I knew you always by anglo it seems like a short years ago and it says you changed your name in 2001?
Just processin my mental timeline!
This particular thread (or series of threads) began on 3/24/2001. There were religion threads before this one, including different daily threads (I remember a freeper named "Marathon" -- who is no longer here -- used to post a regular religion thread). In the old format, before FR introduced the thread navigation tools, and the ability to load smaller chunks of threads, we were limited by size to around 200 or so posts for thread. When a thread got too long, we'd make another one. There were 162 threads under the old system. Then there was a long -- around 37,000 posts -- thread, which was in the main forum. When Jim created the Religion Forum, we started a new thread and moved over here.
I got my screen name changed from "angelo" to "malakhi" about a month ago. The forum software relies upon member numbers rather than screen names. When your computer displays a screen name, it shows the name the FR forum software associates with that member number. As a result, all of my old posts, when pulled up and viewed, will now show my new name. Kinda weird, but that's how it works!
