    That does suck. I wonder if it'd be worth buying and just have it redirect to short-media. It'd keep the spammers from taking hold and defiling it.

    I'd donate to that...

    Zuntar, I hope that you and the rest of the regulars from Icrontic know that you all are welcome to hang here at SM now. It's a shame that Citrix couldn't generate enough new material to keep Icrontic going.

    I'll chip in a little money too, if Citrix doesn't want to gouge on the price. If I remember right, when it went up for auction after the hack job, Tex had some sniping proggie bidding on it against Citrix, who I think had a sniping program on it too, so the sniping programs were the cause of the price runup. (or something like that)

    Thank you muddocktor! I have always felt welcome here and I have every intention of making SM my home, and I will be moving my rigs over to fold for this team as well. (If I could just transfer my points over, that would be SWEET!!! Possible?)

    BTW, I'll put in at least $50.00 if we can make it happen!

    First... Points cannot be changed but just change the "Team Number" to #93!!!

    Second... we'll need to generate a tone more SOLID cash before we have ANY chance of getting Icrontic. All we would probably get is the data, the name, and the license. So we would be only be stopping some else from taking the name and using it for bad things...

    Does any SM regular know Cytrix well enough to maybe approach him about this & then we could set up a fighting fund to receive the donations??

    We have a few here that are friends... Prime has communicated with him regarding this and I'm sure Cytrix is watching this thread.

    How were the original IC/SM folding rigs switched... or do i misunderstand what happend?

    I think all that happened then was they renamed the team for us. Our team number stayed the same. Not sure they'd be willing to migrate point totals for us, since individuals would probably be requesting that pretty frequently. Guess it wouldn't hurt to ask though :)

    The original folding team for icrontic was #93. When the main folderers went Short Media following the crash and sale of Icrontic the team hung out like bums on the AMD Zone boards I think, that right?

    So #93 WAS the original folding team. By the way, as I did my first folding for Icrontic under that team I have a head start. Not quite sure how I missed out on the Short Media thing when it first launched to be honest, just saw that Icrontic was back up one day...

    Like bums? Like BUMS???? ! Ahhh, really now! :hrm:

    ;D

    When Icrontic crashed (the devistating third and final crash), Team 93 retained its integrity for the most part, kept our team number, and moved to a temporary home, AMDMB.com (now called PCPerspective). PCPerspective was very gracious and allowed us to use their forums as a team locus of communications. It was a - sniff sniff - beautiful thing. :bawling: When Short-Media was established, the charter members and staff being veterans of Icrontic, Team 93 moved it's new permanent home, Short-Media Forums.

    Zuntar, and all other Icrontic members who are here now. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Please contact your fellow Icrontians and let them know that Short-Media is a community where they will be comfortable - both as forum members and as a Folding Team.

    BTW, I'm one of the Icrontic 'old timers', having joined when Icrontic was still "Apushardware" (sniff sniff and all that :bawling: ).

    A little background on AMDMB.com/PCPerspective.com: Team 93 has long had a fun, friendly rivalry with their team, the "Folding Frogs". It was like moving in with cousins when they hosted our team.

    On an unrelated note, does anyone remember the ghetto hardware article when the Dragon Orb was taped to a TNT2? ;D

    If, on the remotest chance, anyone has that article saved or any of the pictures, that'd be awesome. :thumbsup:

    If we were to buy Icrontic... it would almost be like reuniting identical twins, separated at birth. Team Short-Media, with over 10 SMx rigs still folding under the Icrontic name....

    Icrontic members may not like it but we already are a modified Icrontic, just missing the name to finalize it...

    Well I've been wrestling with it for probably 10 days now. I'm going to be buying the domains/site/etc and continuing icrontic.

    Quick, guys, let's start poaching for forum and team members before the new Sheriff makes it to the ranch! :eek3::eek3:

    You've made me feel good, Aranyic. Hope the humor above wasn't too harsh. I wish you all success. If for some reason my old registration "Leonardo" at Icrontic doesn't work, I stop by all's in order and re-register.

    I found a copy of the article on the internet archive, but all the picture links were broken :(

    A desperate Google search revealed that I wasn't the only one who liked the article, though. I found several links to it, and some people on another forum who were going to try it :)

    I've attached the Ghetto LAN Party pictures. The commentary is missing, but you can probably figure out what is going on.

    The Ghetto Hub is l337. :vimp:

    Wow, I just read the 3 page "What is Icrontic" thread (and finally know who Bart Williams Is), the 47 page ginipig "Amdmb" thread (you brave souls), 2 paged of "The Short-Media Stability Plan", “S-M Back Up DVD Burner” 4 pg, and am now caught up on the history of SM (and I think I’ve developed a stigmatism in my left eye from staring at the monitor for so long:wink:). But I would make an immediate contribution to the "Save Icrontic Fund" (if started).:D

    Though i arrived after the demise of Icrontic, i can certain appreciate the sentiment associated with it. I did become a member and did frequent Icrontic, even if nothing else, but to make sure Lin's posts in the Babe thread were read and appreciated.:smiles:

    Great to see it will be in good hands once again......Good onya Aranyic.:thumbsup:

    Good to see a few of our "neighbours" dropping in.:)
