I am a pretty infrequent viewer of these forums nowadays so I only just found this thread. I didn't know Keith very well except through Apu's Hardware/Icrontic. His site was by far the most interesting tech site that I had come across and was one that was easy to keep coming back to, because you enjoyed the way it was presented. With his humour and style.
Despite differences people may have had with him, you have to respect a guy who gets things done the way they want them done.
Finally my deepest condolences to Keith's family and friends and may he rest in peace.
My apologies for not getting to this thread sooner, my real life duties as Transportation Director keep me away from the online arena much lately.
Keith and Icrontic not only brought opportunities to the knowledgable....the platform to bring foward ideas to the enthiusiast community, but the forum for the enthusiast to come and absorb the findings of the resident expert overclockers.
Icrontic was my second home for a wonderful period of time. I was "turned on" to the forum by my dear friend OPPAINTER and soon introduced to dear friend DDTUNG. At that time my pals in all things AMD. Thanks to Morten and staff I was brought aboard as staff and allowed to spread my wings in the overclocking world.
For that opportunity I will be forever grateful.
I only had a couple of occasions to communicate with Morten and he was always a stand up guy with me.
Morten brought to the community in Icrontic, with it's staff, the best of the best.
With Icrontic, DDTUNG and myself were given the stage to organize the 1st 3DMark benching team in the world, uniting the top overclockers to produce some of the most incredible 3D benching of the time. Since that time many, many teams have spawned from Icrontic's original concept producing the best competition ever, and pushing the modification and cooling technologies to new heights.
We can all thank Morten for giving us that stage. May God bless you Morten....and your family.My sincerest condolences.
Ah, the 'old' days of Icrontic's overclocking dominance. Those were the times. Its good to see everyone again, unfortunate it had to be under these circumstances...
Wow it's great to see all you guys again ...I still have my kt7a-r btw just not my primary system anymore! hehe
I still haven't seen ddtung though ...he must still be around somewhere!

MrIcee, DexterH - so good to see you again! Holy Cow. Do you think you could get Oppainter and DDTung to drop by and say hello? I apologize if I am assuming incorrectly that you know where they are.

Man, I'm in a bit late, I know. I wish I could have found out about this much, much sooner than I did, but....
I can't really say anything except 'condolences.'
I'm another one of the old shard people. I talked to Mortin on occasion, I saw the site get hacked, and then I saw it all go up for sale. Back then, it was pretty surreal, in my opinion, and I guess it still is. I never really participated in the forums all that much, and it was under a different name (Sabin, for the curious, although I doubt you'll know me unless from the shards). Honestly, I don't participate in any forum all too much, but I was quite an avid reader of Apu's Hardware/Icrontic, but when the shards (Plural, as there were two for a while. The sphere server and the POL server) came around, that's what called a good chunk of my attention.
Even if I didn't talk to him constantly, well, he'll still be missed.
I guess I was lying about the not being able to say anything.
I just registered to say that if it weren't for Icrontice I never would have found great OC'rs like DD, Opp, and MrIcee. I really appreciate what Mr. Keith Whitsitt has done for my involvement in computers. His contribution in the form of Icrontic has shaped many decisions I have made.

How unexpected
RIP. Mortin.
