1 year has passed and still no replacement site, no followup news on why and no site even close to what it was. SCC pales in comparison even with some of the community there like a refugee camp. Such a shame they pulled the plug and nobody stepped up to fill the gap.
Your thoughts?
That you have nothing interesting to say and aren't very bright ?
Btw you did ask my thoughts concerning your post so I'm assuming that this is on topic and not contravening forum rules .:unsure:
get a grip dude ......it`s gone ,,,,,,,,,,,,and never comes back
and why you don't let him express his feelings ? we can talk about everything that's why this is a forum
No one is stopping anyone from expressing their feelings , much like both robisoare and I were merely expressing ours.Quote:

For someone who doesn't care about their forums or IRC, care to elaborate on why SCC "pales in comparison" to ScT? Because I beg to disagree with that.Quote:

As if to prove the point beyond any reasonable doubt.
Simple, SCC is less 1337 :PQuote:

In these days nobody cares about the 1337, now its about The Money you pay (aka donate) you get in - that simple
Meh, I'm sure people have heard my opinion about this one before. The only thing that's left to say is:
I never took you for an idiot up and until this point.Quote:

So what's missing? The warm feeling of exclusivity? :unsure:
ringhunter you can do whatever you want, the idiot is the one that pays .im sorry if i hurt your feelings
As far as pre's and speed of torrents Sct in its day was Number 1
Lot of peeps used Sct as their axx to upload to other sites, even if scc got a better pre by 3 sec's still better off at Sct as torrent speed would max out the server, only site I had to limit server download speed as not to crash the BT client
Plenty of sites to replace it that's for sure but Sct will go down as one of the best.
Disagreed. ScT was not only quality by virtue of its member base (which in fact did not all move to SCC, I can list dozens of names from the forums that are currently inactive on SCC that I used to enjoy the company of/hearing their opinions out on ScT). ScT was quality by the (as ironic as it sounds) love that went into the tracker, and the dedication of its member base. The ScT uploaders were willing to spend upwards of tens of thousands of dollars to keep the quality and happiness levels on-site up for all members. The last time I turned to see how SCC's volunteer uploaders were doing, all I saw were complaints of issues on weekly packs (which I don't care about, personally) and missing uploaders after the PS3 jailbreak (which was promptly fixed). Add to that the fact that ScT had a bunch of dedicated users that even after the shutdown were resilient in not offering their services anywhere else (say what you want, one member was offering 6 dedicated 10gbit servers to the swarms, I'm unaware of any other tracker that is currently getting as much support) and were dedicated to ScT, and you have your answer for why SCC, as great as it is, still does not match up to ScT.Quote:

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but at the time of ScT's existence, SCC was the more exclusive tracker, considering it had a more limited member-base and an arguably more elitist community (given their pretimes etc.)
EDIT: And oh, eclecticist/sctcom went down about a couple of months back. Not a total loss, considering there was 0 activity on there anyway.
This is arguable. There's definitely a difference in perspectives, though, depending on which prebot you'd trust the most. Even though there was no doubt ScT had quality access, I doubt the prebot they were privy to was at the caliber of a private ring's prebot such as SCC's (and FTN soon enough, I presume). Lots of people used SCC as secondary access at the time, since ScT had a stronghold on the no-spam issue, which meant that unless you had a different method of obtaining those releases, you should have also needed to rely on SCC (if you needed them, that is, which I do every now and again, personally). We're agreed on your last statement.Quote:

Btw thanks forattempting to writewriting that, as it was a nice diversion for the ScT twaddle.Even ringhunter's essay couldn't disguise the fact of how patently stupid the whole thread is .Proves that you can write well, you can write long , but because of the original subject matter anything said is still going to end up being silly.
PS if people really paid out of their own pockets for " 6 dedicated 10gbit servers to the swarms" that is truly sad.
I'm sure that while the masses of mouth-breathing adolescents appreciated the increased speed at which they could download Transformers 2 and the last season of Heroes the thought does cross my mind that the same money spent could probably have saved several hundred people from starving to death in Sudan.
Of course the "generous" donor wouldn't be seen as "cool" by the legion of internet wanks and any "glory" would be lost and there are clearly already too many people on the planet ,so obviously he made the wise choice.
is it bad that I still haven't deleted ScT from my hotlink bar in firefox? *sigh*
The same goes for anything really. An opera singer doing it for money, instead of trying to entertain the poor, a theist not giving up all his money (that would really be a benefit to everyone) and an owner of a server farm deciding to aid copyright infringement instead of running a viral ad/game that helps the cause in Haiti (given that I assume said person was going to own the servers anyway). It's just perspectives, and oft people have eschewed opinions on what is right when they have the resources to be used at their discretion. Just look at addon3475 and dictionaries. More on that later.Quote:

Whether the resources could have been used more aptly or even better is arguable, yet meaningless. I'd rather the person spend the money on something as pointless, yet harmless as bittorrent and its silly speeds, rather than growing weed or conium in their own backyard (who said intelligence had anything to do with anything?). They made a difference in their own bubble of a world, and they were happy until exactly one year ago, so who am I to argue what pit they should have thrown their money/"generosity" into?
I say "generosity" since there's no way for me to know if the servers were pre-owned and doing nothing, if the person would have bought them anyway (the way I see it, he might have as well, and this served as a donation from what was hopefully a much greater supply) and if the person thought he deserved anything in return.
Derp. By the way, that last "ahhhh", is that you screaming at the brink of your epiphany, or is it the sort that a toddler makes when a great weight is lifted off his chest (presumably in the form of another toddler)?Quote:

I was on there for the last 3 months of it's life. My only real memory of it was Feeling asking for like 9000 Euro before... If you want a replacement, it's unlikely to come... "Scene axx" is so common nowadays that any shite-site can pay for it, with auto upload scripts included ffs. The leetness of such BT sites is fading.
ScT is past for 1 year, and what once gone, never comes back. Now SCC is as good as ScT, may be even better..
so, no need to cry for a dead tracker.
I pray for ScT, may torrent god bless you in torrent heaven. :P
They unlike OiNK had only scene content.. SCC probably wins them in everything now.. maybe except for retention which is somewhat countered by the free leech packs at SCC.Quote:

The difference imo is in the former two cases ( that being the opera singer and the theist )they are occupations and as far as I know people still require money to live . I don't know about the sever farmer though because I've frankly never eaten serve .Quote:

@Lovestoned I have nothing against trolls ,sometimes being one myself.The only thing that bothers me is when they ( as is the case with strapon169) totally lack originality and wit .
and very sweet 2nd post. :huh: Congratulation, not you made your 2nd post. Only 18 posts to go. :)Quote:

Not saying that there were not dedicated members on there, but many of them made having the best upload speed/amount or the most seedboxes a competition just to feed their egos.Quote:

I remember when scc handed invites to its members like candy (3 at a time) when in sct you had to pay 20€/win a competition to get one. That's why maybe people can't get over it: they've spend their money and time on it like they never did on any other tracker, so they valued the tracker.
I still think SCC successfully replaced sct... but what do i know, your needs may be very different from mine ;)
i miss idoleyes posts in the sct jailbait thread :(
Who cares, it's just a torrent site. Not like they had anything exclusive to offer that you can't find on other trackers.
Some time ago u were saying something about a sct v2 :PQuote:

So when it went down it sucked, it just wasn't a loss I couldn't handle since I already got most of my scene releases from ratio free trackers and easier to seed places. And I say all this as a member who was there for several years and had a pretty good ratio at the time.
SCC is replacing them now, as a tracker where I watch very closely how much I download except for in the Archive section. It is most useful when I want to watch the new episodes of the shows I follow right away. If its not a show or a movie I can't wait to download the pretimes aren't as important.
how many invites do you have? ;) :lol:Quote:
