Have your ever been "on the scene"?

[AugustoP]

If yes, how did you got there and what did you do?

PS. I guess everyone knows what scene I'm talking about.

[psxcite]

Yea, started long ago with a group called "Paradox". I worked for CBM -Commodore Business Machines and had access to tons of C64 and Amiga stuff.

That's how I got my start. On a 1200 baud modem, using PBX's and stolen MCI cards to call the overseas BBS'.

[Blackstreet]

I dont know the way scene group find their supplier ?

I mean if you're a potential supplier , can access to decent source , how can U join the scene ?

[darkeingel]

Look for .nfo file on there release maybe they are looking for new members and give an adress to contact ;)

[TorrentJunky]

I've been wanting to get Scene Axx scene ages :(

[stealth_SS8]

can an insider tell a little of what they have there. Is each group just a collection of FTP's that people have access to? Are there different levels/rankings of scene groups?

a friend of a friend in rl was in it a while ago. I'm hopefully gonna get some more info from him and probably get hooked up.

[Alkameno]

yes..plz explain how to join the scene?

[Rpcry]

there are ways like suppling free hardware, private dumps, supplie whatever they need, or know the right people. Im prety shure that no one will tell you more than that here.
Anyway, why do you need acces if you have our beloved p2p apps that you can just run the and be back at the end of the day to get your goodies?. On the scene unless you get leech, you will need to stay on front of your pc all the time racing stuff to get credits, plus you will have to get on some expences like a shell, to satay anonymouse.
sorry for my english

[Squizzle]

lulz. You guys are funny :)

[iwaldo]

All you need to do is e-mail [email protected] and ask him for axx :D

[sense]

Yes, I was a HDTV capper for a group. They were looking for some east coast people so I applied. Was a bit of a hassle so I had to give it up.

[optimus_prime]

Very funny.

I think the scene's days are numbered as being the number one source of pirated content on the internet. For example High definition stuff - The scene is rubbish compared to a few private torrent trackers in both quantity and quality of releases.

People used to be in awe of members of the scene and being able to get things on superfast ftp but with torrent trackers full of 100mbit seedboxes it is not held in as high regard as it once was.

:whistling i won't be so sure about what you saying,
since i personnaly think the scene is supplying the trackers you r downloading from...:rolleyes:

[HARNOvHARNO]

Not really, its just occopied by a few "wanabee elites". When truth to be told, torrents and whatever alternatives are much better.

Back in the old days however.... Enough said, then came app's like KazaA, and later bittorrent witch really blew things off..

Ofcause theres still underground sharing, but thats usually closed groups whos members know each other, dont belive your missing out on somthing, because you really aint.

[fifty99]

the few "wanabee elites" as u called them are what supplies ur precious bit torrent trackers with 99% of what is on there i bet ...

and how u get on there ... i bet it is all a matter of timing :whistling and what u have to offer ;)

[vergo]

On the scene unless you get leech, you will need to stay on front of your pc all the time racing stuff to get credits
That's completely incorrect. Most people use automated programs to do the racing for them.

[thegreenknight]

A lot of the scene can be purchased for a set amount of leech, but as it was said earlier in this thread, you still need to know the right people.

[r37theking]

I'm ready to purchase if someone is selling :whistling

Paying for scene axx is lame.
Be a true pirate and get your stuff for free.

[JazzyJeff]

Well the scene costs to run, someone's gotta pay.

[Gish]

Is it true that some groups are in the scene more for themselves and within the group, and that they hate anything thats P2P(bittorrent/newgroups).
meaning that their are those groups that don't release their stuff to P2P!

[optimus_prime]

are you kidding? who likes his illegal work being distributed all over the world on zillion of p2p sites poking cops eyes? :) if they catch you, the user, well, you might lose your computer and pay a fine, but if the source falls he goes to the jail for a LONG time. people don't seem to appreciate that enough when badmouthing sceners :)

[BethCooper]

Well, I was in a swedish group some time ago, but they found out that I wasn't contributing anything so..disabled axx :(

I got in by supplying them a couple of pre-store dvd's, but I wasn't able to continue with that, so bye bye the scene

[blackbird]

learn asm ... :D and learn to reverse engineer software copy protections ..

[pimpy112]

this thread is funny so many half truths

[xnightmare]

hehe to get into the scene asking about it on a forum is prly going about it in the wrong way. Basically you get something they want, then you offer it.

[guglhupf]

it's all a huge lie. there is no scene.

[$SnoopDo2G$]

it's all a huge lie.:noes: there is no scene.

What do you mean there is no scene ???
lol how come wiki will lie about it ??? :frusty:

You just have to know the right people.

lol you're funny.


ultimately, the only benefit that I personally get from the scene is private closed communities (unfortunately 90% of the people in the scene or assholes or just two faced. it is hard to have a friend you don't trust) and affil groups. Sure on bt you can get something 10 seconds from pre, but with affil you get 0 second.

Either way, it isn't worth the time and the effort.

[players]

no

[fsephie]

Once you get to a high enough point in bt private trackers, is there really a point? Are you really trying to e-dick between a minute pretime and no pretime? I'm just curious as to why spending tons of money buying free hardware or risking whatever access to materials you have just for the minute difference is worth it? There is a reason why direct scene access is so rare: it's hard to get and hard to maintain and generally not worth it.

Just to add to that. If you look on SCT at where the donation money goes, see how part of it goes to scene access for top uploaders?

The only reason music is a general exception to the need for scene access is because there are so many formats that the scene doesn't release in that it end ups being more of a farm industry with uploaders who specialize in particular formats. Just saying.

you're only taking speed into consideration and not content. Torrent sites don't upload 100% of the content available on the scene. I'm more interested in seeing how much is never seen by outsiders. As a utility maniac, I'm VERY curious. :naughty:

[mikolan]

Never personally been involved with the scene, but an old friend of mine had access to some local dumps and shared alot of stuff from there with me ;)

[bikernin]

yep..all the current scene groups are gonna see this and post : "yes im on the scene. here is my name, address, phone no, social security no. blah blah blah, dont forget to call the cops"

yea each torrent site dosent upload 100% of the content. but you can get a list of all scene releases very easily and from then on just need to know where to look. its really not that hard
