On August 8, 2000 Keith “Mortin” Whitsitt posted his first article on ApusHardware.com. Five months later, ApusHardware became Icrontic, and the rest, as they say, is history. A decade later, the community Keith started with a server in his closet still stands and several of its earliest members still grace our site.
Few communities before or after us will have the honor of celebrating 10 years together. We have watched so many members grow up, start families and careers, and pass the many milestones that mark a life.
On this day I would like to say cheers to those that joined before I did and those that just joined this year; to those who have shared their ups and downs; to those who have spent hours, days, or years of their life supporting and contributing to this site; and to those we have lost along the way, including Keith, Bart Williams, Patrick (redoulent), and Chris (Spike09). Every one of you had a hand in this moment.
May we all be here to celebrate 10 more.
