Short-Media.com is up!
It is with great pleasure that the short-media team (who don't ever sleep or live any form of life anymore) launch the frontpage
http://www.short-media.com/
This has been a sometimes difficult achievement. We wanted to pack as much information as humanly possible into the page and make it super-flexible.
You will find external reviews and news, our own articles and archived news, folding@home and alot more.
We already have some great new reviews ready to roll, so keep your eyes peeled!
A big shoutout and thanks for all the hardwork goes to:
TD_Isles for his coding enthusiasm and "It will work" attitude.
MediaMan for his vertical learning curve with PHP and I hear he is no longer having a nervous breakdown.
PrimeSuspect and -TK for their awesome "Yep.. Il look at that.. even if it's 3am.. Il look at it" attitude.
Special Kudos to -TK for sacrificing his own personal desktop when the "dev" server went south. What a hero.
JimboJW for all his awesome code and bug fixes. A coding monster. Thanks mate!
Park_7677 for his dedication and backend work. Can't wait to get more of that code in the system.
General Keebler for finding us Jimbo! What a player!
.. and everyone for patiently waiting for us to give birth to our new frontpage
We will make some small changes along the way and get the forums integrating and cross-linking (already in the works) so you have everything at your fingertips!
Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone! General Keebler, TD_Isles, -TK, PrimeSuspect, JimboJW, Park_7677, Shorty, and MediaMan.
And it's soooo different from any other forum I've ever seen, I think it's highly intuitive.
Have a drink on me boys!

You guys are amazing...
I realize most of the visitors are probably a bit more techy than the average joe and also probably run 1024x768 or even higher, but there are a number of people with visual impairments that just cannot use anything higher than 800x600 and for those people the page is more difficult to navigate.
Perhaps doing a check on the screen width and then serving up a different page accordingly?
Other than that, I like it.
Actually, funny you should mention that... When we were in the planning stages for the front page, we all got together and said "What do we NOT want?" and then we all pulled up www.addaboy.com and agreed that your site was the polar opposite of what ours should look like.
And then we went from there......:p
Anyways, great job guys. Looks good.
I'm not saying the design is bad . . . it's not. I like it. I just feel that the 800x600 (or heaven forbid even lower) crowd not be left in the dark. The screen width can be detected and they can be shown a modified page.
ahahahahahahahahahahahahah too funny!
Sorry about the parse errors. I let a stray bracket wander off and he got into trouble.
It may come and go over the next few minutes, I'm working on the last 10 posts dealie.
Now to fill it with Folding@Home content.:D
LOL, primes!!!! As a consolation kanez, I like your page too!:)
Great work guys! This is so great, everything I wanted from when IC went down...all the news, the articles, its superb! YOU GUYS ROCK!
All I can say is wow! great job guys, and I have no doubt this site will become one of the most popular hardware sites on the net.
I mean it's been what, just over a week since we went live and just look how much the site has grown since then, in just one week.
Congratulations to all of you. I'm blown away.
