You're making some assumptions there. The same thing happened to me even though I was invited because a friend was a staff member and was a VIP before I ever applied to be an uploader. I had my thesis and final exams the week they opened and lost my access to 0-sec stuff to upload, but they disabled me anyway rather than demoting me back to VIP or waiting a bit for me to have time. It's not my fault that they opened weeks after they initially had said they would. Their staff and policies are not very user-friendly. One of their SysOps actually only accepts PM's from those on his friends list, which isn't at all like the RTS Sysops, who are very friendly and helpful.
You can see where my vote goes. Sure, it's easier to get a good ratio at SCN--everything's 4x upload and free leech

They're giving it away there, might as well be a news server.
I will say, I like SCN's "family" concept, although I find the forums on RTS more active, even when they only had ~100 users.
