Okay, where to begin? When I joined FST about six months ago ScT was one of the rarest trackers. In the five leveled rating system ScT was level 5 together with UK-T and sometimes FTN. Of course everybody wanted it, because ScT was the rarest of them all. They also had the best content, pretimes, packs etc.
Now times have changed and ScT isn't the rarest anymore. They gave away a lot of invites and you can donate for invites. Because of this ScT has slowly become less rare than it was in the past.
Here at FST we have the wiaw-thread, which is about how hard it is to get into a tracker. A lot of people here want to trade all their trackers for UK-T or FTWR. Only because they are the rarest. Not for the content, because, according to what I've heard, it's not anything special with UK-T and FTWR. People want rarity. The content is just a small plus if it's good.
So why do I tell you all this? Well, it's to explain something very nice. Even if ScT is as rare as it has been, everybody want to have it. ScT is still as wanted as it was when it was in the highest rarity level. Maybe even more wanted. Why? I think it is about the content. ScT is still considered one of the best 0day trackers, according to the content. Some people say like "FTN is much better because the latest episode of Lost was uploaded here two minutes before ScT got it." And who cares about that? Not me! I use privete closed trackers because I want stable speeds and almost all good stuffs in one place. I think ScT fits quite good in those requirements.
I have to say something about speed. At private trackers, almost all new torrents has good speeds. But when I download something that is a little bit "older" I'm often quite frustrated over the bad speed. Well, it's not a big problem for me to wait some days for a movie I really want to see, but it would be a security to know that I'll always get good speeds on all torrents. I'm an active member of quite a lot of trackers, but NONE of them can give me good speed on ALL their torrents.
I've heard a lot of good things about ScT, according to the speed. "ScT is the home of seedboxes", someone said. "My seedbox want to live forever at ScT", another one said. So according to what I've heard ScT is the best tracker if you want speed. I want speed. Fast speed, and the speed ScT provides is probably their real speciality.
I have to say something about ratio. Well, one of the best inventions in the torrentworld is the ratio. If you have to keep a good ratio you WILL keep a good ratio if you get somethig good back. A good content is a good reason for me to seed back what I've downloaded. If I also get good speed I have a VERY VERY good reason to seed. ScT has good speeds because people seed. If the users of ScT seed for me and give me good speeds it's a natural way for me to give other users good speeds. If ScT gives me good speeds I'll give ScT speeds. And I'm sure ScT will give me speed. I am a seeder.
Finally I want to tell you something about forums. A forum is a good place to discuss and share your thoughts with other people. A good tracker isn't just a place where you can share files. It's a place for sharing your thoughts. Some trackers have very nice and friendly forums. Swedvdr is my favorite right now. I haven't heard anything about ScT:s forum but I'm a good forumuser and I think I can provide a lot to most forums, because most forums gives me a lot. I like discussing and listening to other people. It's nice to know how people from other countries think.
Now I see that this text became quite long, but I hope you understand why I really want ScT. I'll try to summarize it with a few words:
I want ScT for:
good content
good speed
seeding
forums
I won't use ScT for:
trading
cheating
keeping a bad ratio
Would I be a good ScT user? Then consider giving your invite to me.
