Now I get this:

Web Server's Default Page

This page is generated by Parallels Plesk Panel, the leading hosting automation software. You see this page because there is no Web site at this address.

You can do the following:

No idea of what happened but if their IRC is up it should be a matter of going there and asking.

It's certainly not the first time they have gone down like this, hopefully they'll be back up. Maybe it doesn't have loads of peers but it's a decent site, and not there fault they didn't live up to the 'Hype'... just out of curiosity... did ScL create the hype themselves, or was it bestowed upon them because they were a private tracker who limited their member?

Either way, I hope it doesn't go down, too many communities have been lost lately...

I like how the administration fights on despite the usefulness and activity on the site. It's a shame that they can't hit it right, but after ~3 years they might be better off renaming, reskinning, and re-launching a new 0day.

After a couple years you'll generally know if the site has made it or if it's just hanging on for whatever unknown reason. Peerportal is another site that comes to mind, which gets little snatches, but is kept alive by a small core userbase which donates regularly.

Word. Pretty OK design, but who cares about design (well I guess some people do). What it comes down to is there are no leechers and pretty much no activity at all. Whats the point?

FunkyMonk
02-01-2010, 12:06 AM
The problem they had/have is like a few have mentioned, they went from one minute being a site hard to get into, to open its doors to pretty much anyone. So when the new members came in, they weren't inclined to download a whole lot, because they wanted to say they have a 1337 ratio on a 1337 tracker.

They've tried to get more people downloading but it just doesn't seem to be working. I blame seed-boxes for this. Seed-boxes are great when you've got hundreds hitting a new torrent at one time, but when you've only got 10 or 20, or usually much less in ScL's case, seedboxes are more of a hindrance as it's impossible to give back if you;re one of the few jumping on a new torrent. It's a viscous circle.

ATTENTION EVERYONE!

ATM, the site is obviously offline.. As ViperMM has said there is issues with paypal, nothing to do with anything financial. they had messed up on their notes and as a result, they though the site was still under review(because of a previous problem).. In the midst of trying to get things straightened out, our hosting service decided they didn't like what we were doing.. so they shut down everything! a bullshit wanker move..

Anyways, we don't know when we will get things sorted(if it gets sorted) but, we'll keep you guys informed of the sites final status.. Consider this the official word from ScL's Staff for now.

Thank You guys for not taking this opportunity to totally rip the site apart(as what normally happens around here).. that shows a lot of class from FST members...

(if it gets sorted)

This, especially this part, is what I don't understand in the mentality of Sysops. Can you explain to me the if part about your tracker going down? It goes down, you give people an ETA and tell them to shut up till then and stop complaining. When the tracker's back everyone's overjoyed.

Now explain to me WHY there's an IF. It's not like the community is putting up the ETA, it's you. Don't let (I don't know how many members ScL has, let's go with 7000) 7000 users down. Or at least, don't give up for the sake of the users who loved the place. Take your time, bring it back up better, stronger, and harder to get into than ever.

I think ScL is gone for good, my thoughts behind this (becuase it happens all too often in the BT world) is that there might have been a disagreement of some sort, which has led to owners, ops, admins walking away ie domain sold to online gambling and no one from admins up have said anything to air the dirty laundry and surely if it was a technical or upgrade reason, someone would have had the courtesy to inform the members of ScL, whom i think they dont give a flying toss about because something would have been said by now....

How can you miss a tracker you're not even on. You don't know what the community is (was) like, if it's ruled by 12/yo's, if the admins steal IP's of uploaders and sell them to sceners, NOTHING.

Who were you in the site, to say something like that? (Cisco)

IF any of you wanted updates, WHY not go to irc.scenelife.net and ASK a admin or mod for updates?

So the admin says that there are no UPDATES, IT MEANS THAT there ARE NO UPDATES.

And for more info read the pastebin that some user leaked to this thread.

How anyone can hold grudges against us for not being more helpful or informative about the situation after what has been said is beyond me. But then again, keep in mind ViperMM that english isn't everyones' native language (mine neither for that matter), so some people might not be able to understand what the information in this thread means.

At least, from what the rumor mill is leading me to believe, ScL is being taken down because of the carelessness of one individual and not a lack of donations nor pressure from the authorities, etc. Hopefully they will rise again with new staff members, new torrents, new designs and a renewed trust of who controls access to the server and its files.

At least, from what the rumor mill is leading me to believe, ScL is being taken down because of the carelessness of one individual and not a lack of donations nor pressure from the authorities, etc. Hopefully they will rise again with new staff members, new torrents, new designs and a renewed trust of who controls access to the server and its files.

What exactly have you heard? Just out of curiosity of course...

And yeah, it would be good if they came back as I personally enjoyed the tracker... wasn't one of my main trackers by any means but there was always something of interest when I had a look... unfortunately it's getting harder and harder for trackers to make come backs as invariably when they go down their members scatter elsewhere...

Just look at UK-T, FTWR and ScT as prime examples...

How can you miss a tracker you're not even on.

I never said I wasn't a member.

Sorry, my mistake then. Took your post the wrong way:

A shame. I didn't use the tracker very much nor were a member of its community, but it's never good to see a site close down. RIP ScL. http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../../images/smilies/sad.gif:(

OK, maybe 'scatter' was the wrong word... 'migrate' would maybe have illustrated the point better.

ScT - Loads of members moved to SCC and a few other more select places.
FTWR - A good few moved to iTS, and again elsewhere
UK-T - No idea where they all went, although I'm sure a few ended up at ScT or FTWR :pinch:

However, what I was getting at, was more the idea of the sites actually getting all those members back should they suddenly reappear, taking into account things like, but not exclusively, the 'bad taste' left in the mouths of some ScT members surrounding the demise of ScT...

I just don't think these days that sites who make their 'comebacks' are ever what they used to be... just my opinion of course :)

It's not your opinion it's a fact. When something makes a comeback members remember the good times, they're nostalgic for those times, and when a bump comes along they tell themselves "This isn't how it was". Just the nature of human memories.

Right, since the irc no longer redirects since the domain is dead, if anyone is interested still to try to get some of ScL to stick together real irc server is sickness.mooo.com, you should know what channel is, same one as used before, if you don't know it you probably weren't a member of ScL.

anon
02-18-2010, 05:17 PM
Assuming we're talking about 0-Day trackers, I'd go for TL. Great speeds, content, packs... (and also anti-P2P spies in the swarm :dabs:)

Of course others will have different opinions.

ScL forever in our hearts - 2010-03-31

Dear ScL Members,
As you know things haven't been going well lately and we apologize for that. But we would like to say that there is an explanation for everything that has happened in the past months.

In the past 7 months – ScL’s owner and coder SScript has been really inactive. He has been even less active than he was before, which basically means he has been spending approximately an hour a week on the site. He has also been leaving for many weeks without letting any other staffers know, leaving the site on its own and constantly forgetting to pay the server costs (which I'm sure you all noticed since the site constantly went down at the start of each month). SScript was never a good owner. Coding issues that were supposed to be dealt with almost 11 months ago are still not done, and yet he was too arrogant to give direct access to other coders so they could help us out.

In the past year the site has basically been ran by it's mods and admins paying the server costs from their own pocket. And if it wasn't for staff members like pedrowsky, MSO, HL, aquirre, ViperMM, scrappen and winnie - the site would have died a long time ago.

Around 4 months ago ScL went down for a long period because the owner SScript had issues paying for the server. He claims that he had paypal problems. The other staffers – supportive as always wanted to help him to get ScL back up and perhaps ask you guys to donate a little extra so he can keep running the site. But SScript didn’t have a recent copy of ScLs code and DB (His last copy was 8 months old!). Yes we know – The owner and coder of ScL doesn’t have a copy of his own site? As crazy as it sounds – It’s the truth, so now you can understand why we call him a bad owner. After this we really understood how little he cared about the site – so we decided not to support him anymore.

Anyway after weeks of hard work – MSO managed to find a 2 month old copy of the ScL and then host it on aquirres server. This copy – as everyone noticed didn’t have the torrents backed up, so therefore ScL came back up with 0 torrents.

We have been trying for months to find a way to get our torrents back and trust us – if there was a way to do it, it would have been done a long time ago. This is one of the main reasons why we didn’t give out any info to our members – We simply hoped that we could get our torrents back and that everything could go back to normal. Other reasons for us giving you guys information about the sites status this late was that SScript removed the domain since he realized that we are against him now. And as mentioned earlier, we were really far behind on the coding front – so we simply didn’t have a function to mass email our users. However – thanks to mrstonedone (who is actually not a site coder, but an IRC coder) we managed to make a function like this to finally inform you guys about what’s going on.

So what happens now? As tragic and sad as it may be – It’s time for ScL to shut down. We were blessed with the finest community the BT world has ever known and there is no doubt that our members will forever be in our hearts. There is no other tracker and there never will be a tracker with a community as strong and warm as the one ScL had.

But there is still some hope left: ScL will never come back, no. But – The ScL Crew is working on a new promising project and would like to welcome our active and loyal members to join us. This tracker is going to be a magnificent tracker – including a reckless design, a magnificent community, and the one thing ScL always missed – LOTS OF TORRENTS. We’ve got sponsors for this project and we got a really nice budget to work our way around. More info about this project will be given later.

Last but not least – We would like to say that our time as staffers on this tracker has been great and we’ve had a lot of fun serving this community. Even though we’ve had our ups and downs, it has been a pleasure to be staffers of a community this amazing. We will surely miss our fine members and we would like to wish you the best of luck in life.

And PS: The forums will be up until further notice.
Take care,

Cabalo
