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?

Re: what happened to SCL?
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.

Re: what happened to SCL?
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...

Posting observations is not the same as ripping something apart.

that point is true... but, i think many people have issues distinguishing "observations" from opinions/sarcasm/anger and or misunderstandings ....
you've been around here long enough to have a very good idea what i mean anyways puckface...

yep, just pointing something out kind sir. I was a member of the tracker a time ago but saw where it was headed and just wanted to make sure my statements were not misconstrued as me criticizing.

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.

Just covering all bases, we are trying but, the cards don't seem to be in our favor .. atm, we have a very poor hand dealt us is all i'm going to say.. We still have some chips left so, don't count us out yet :D

I guess he was referring to how the ScL domain now redirects to a poker site. jasperr's quote doesn't explain that, does it?

It does? Oh :whistling
I guess it hasn't propagated to my dns server yet then cause it doesn't redirect me to any such site. Anyways, i'm sure jasperr will update as soon as there's any news.

I'm using OpenDNS and am redirected to promo*.c-rewards*.com (without the stars, of course).
I'll wait for jasperr's update :P

Re: what happened to SCL?
It would be nice if they informed their members, or kept them up to date with what is going on, not everyone uses irc...
their domain is now online casinos/gambling, it would be nice of ScL's op's to give us an update to what is really going on...
Lets be pro's about it, not this childish smoke n mirrors stuff...

The fact that no update has been given yet means that there's no new news regarding ScL's future.

Re: what happened to SCL?
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....
