All you haters can rejoice, for SqN has died.
I for one will miss SqN though. :(Quote:
* roon3y has changed the topic to: R.I.P SqN
<YamaY> What The F*ck
<polcan> R.I.P SqN rly?
<roon3y> crap
<roon3y> we need 40$
<jamesos868> :o
<TheBeat> rip?
<TheBeat> why?
<TheBeat> Masquerade
<Rezident> Because the server wasn't payed, and need like 40$
<GraveNoX> SqN is gone ?
<Kid> yeah ..
So it died because no one had 40 bucks? I'll wait for the jokes about that.
Why did SqN die?Quote:

ROFLMFAO!!! :lol:
A site died all for the sake of $40???
Who exactly was running it? :blink: And why would you run a site if you couldn't provide your own server fees... relying on donations maybe isn't the best way to go about things, they're never guaranteed...
I've never even heard of SqN... who were they and what did they offer?
Ratio-free music tracker.Quote:

$40..... If you own a BT site I think you should be able to pay off $40 in case of a low donation month or something.
He should have made announcements that he couldn't pay for it way before he missed the payment. It is fully the owners fault for letting the site get that far ran down.
IMO the site was pretty much doomed when they couldnt scratch together 100$ some time ago cant say im surprised at all.
Totally agree, and it's ok to make mistakes, just as long as they don't happen again kinda thing...Quote:

It goes to show how much a new tracker that focuses solely on exclusivity and leetness rather than developing a large core userbase can survive in this world.
So much for a "community" tracker eh? Where was their "community" when the tracker needed it the most?
Rart I was under the impression that he didn't make an announcement due to the surprised reaction of members in the chat log posted.
He obviously didn't make it known that he was in the hole for last months payment as members were completely surprised when it got shutdown.
I am not a member of the site (or wasn't.. past tense), so I can't confirm anything.
Second time this happens, I'd say good riddance. I don't understand how tracker staff put together don't have 40$.
If it were me, I would have made up a lie. I would have told people it was because the RIAA was hounding me, or something along those lines. Definitely would not have made it known that the closure was due to me not having a few measly dollars in my pocket.
How embarrassing for the owner...
Perhaps he thinks that this way he can get a couple extra bucks from some sympathizers.
Bit late for that now if it's closed... would be even more embarrassing coming back now imoQuote:

Maintenance again ? :eyebrows:
Classic way for an amateur tracker to go out. Couldn't have ended better (aka more memorable, that's what you were going for, right?) Thanks for brightening my evening SqN, now you can go down with the legends. :happy:ScN, ScL, SqN..
lol they are saying maintenance now, well I would blame this on incorrectness as they did say they would be changing servers again...
"Mom, please, only 40 bucks, it's the last time, pleeeeease!!!" - that's how the process of maintenance looks like, I guess.

Big surprise!!! NOT.
I never did join, though, since I heard it was a tracker with all kinds of music, but in reality it was mostly trance and its variations (don't know the names, sorry).
My conclusion: trance maniacs are poor. :lol:
PS: I don't think being very poor is something to laugh about. In this case it prolly was a kid, but nowadays I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.

All of which keep track of ratios. Perhaps the ratio-free aspect of SqN was attractive to some.Quote:

I'll admit their style sheet was really nice.Quote:

I've heard rumors about Pedro's and TT being very easy to seed at. Same with E.Quote:
