In all those three cases the members didn't scatter too far at all

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

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

Meaning I downloaded/seeded some stuff every now and then, but it definitely wasn't my main tracker.

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.

You don't mean the taste of bullshit do you ?

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.
