MICROWAVE Posted February 7, 2005 CID Share Posted February 7, 2005 jim2006, A good place to start is go to the archives and look at the oldest post and work this way,I think in August 2003 the older format was changed, I was the 13 member to join and I think VanBuren came a couple of months after me and then Swimmer came right after that. You will find all kinds of info just looking around, I'm sure CA3LE has some old pics of the test window and I'll look also......it has changed several times always a better look. I think your right lots of ppl would find it interesting....good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA3LE Posted February 8, 2005 CID Share Posted February 8, 2005 TestMy.net (as the domain testmy.net) started in November 2001 The concept started around 1998/1999 and started very small as a tool for myself to test my newly acquired cable internet.

netmasta Posted February 8, 2005 CID Share Posted February 8, 2005 I love the logo in the last 2 pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted February 8, 2005 CID Share Posted February 8, 2005 I love the logo in the last 2 pics. Someone "MADE" me that logo. I found out later when a company emailed me that it was a copy of their logo (just slightly edited) - so I had to take it off immediately. They threatened to sue me, lol. I am still working on a new logo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
