Icrontic version 11 is coming
I get wrapped up in the staff area and forget to keep everyone else caught up on what's going on around here 
Here's a little update from behind-the-scenes.
We've been reorganizing our goals and structure as Brian works on the site day-by-day, the staff offers more input, and I beaver away at the underpinnings of the site. This has led to several things: refocusing on our hardware / tech roots, keeping the news and articles coming faster than they were, getting us onto a more stable and refined content system for our news and articles, and redesigning the site for better usability and sleeker look.
The upshot is that we're going to be using the Wordpress system soon, with a slick new layout designed by the staff. I'm one week into the transition; I currently estimate we'll be going live September 20.
Why do I call it version 10? Glad you asked
Here's my count to 9: Apu's, Icrontic original (purple), Icrontic blue, Icrontic dark (classic), Icrontic Citrix, Short-Media e107 (long load), Short-Media Dancode, Short-Media Draco, and Icrontic Draco (current).
Just want to mentally prepare you all for the new digs you're getting
Trust me, it's a vast improvement and far more fitting. More updates as we get closer!

I don't understand the trade-off between Icrontic and Short-Media.. anyone mind explaining for me?
Thank you Keebs for doing this; especially the different versions of apus/icrontic/sm
BTW: This system was the first AMD based system I had ever seen or used and I was incredibly impressed by the performance vs my dads PIII 733 system and my celeron 466 system. About two months after this article, Keith (Mortin, founder of IC) helped me price and put together my first Athlon system (only because pushing my celeron 466 failed and I can still remember his cursing when it failed to boot above 533(this was also the system of mine taken in the FDLE (Florida Department of Law Enforcement) raid when he (Mortin) was accused of a DDoS attack)).
Good times.
