Scenelife forever in our hearts

haha I totally called this. SCL was dead years ago; a new front and a new name might bring this tracker some new life.

ScL > ScT imo

Crazy talk.

they failed so hard in the first place...this is an example to the rest of new supersecret wannabe trackers

No, when they were newer they kicked ScT's ass, they were the best tracker, but did not last to long, and they slowly became worse and worse.

Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but that's still not true. Perhaps people assumed that it was better because of the amazing amount of effort you needed to put in, in order to get in. However, it was nothing special.

The bigger joke was the fact that the Sys-Ops sold their uploaders axx. Instead of reeling in professional uploaders, they just brought in people with enough money for a line. Great, is it not? It's one of the old bt archaic examples of why P2P truly WAS a risk to the scene.

Not at all. It was never even near what ScT accomplished.
One will go as a legend, and another one will soon be forgotten.

Damn, that sux, always hate to see a tracker go down! I joined there once, but it wasn't active at the time, and I let the acc fade away. At least this closing has nothing to do with the police or anti-piracy groups. From going on only what I just read, I too would have to agree that the owner was bunk. But at least the good staff comes out with a complete explanation of what exactly happened. As these days more & more trackers shut down with basically zero explanation or info. So props to the good staff for sharing the truth, and it looks like they gave a lot of money and time to that place. :-/

There's only blood and stuff like that in my heart but OK.

most scene sites do that, i think.

Not really. A lot of scene trackers ask for uploaders with their own lines/hook-ups, as well as have their own auto-up bot. Selling axx to your uploaders is asking for trouble. Look at trackers like ScT/SCC/GFT even TorrentVault, they all don't need to sell it to their uploaders; their uploaders know their way around, and upload out of their pockets/good will.

EDIT: Of course in SCC's case, a five minute conversation with SpX and 200-300$ a month for a line/p2l pass will get you the same uploader result, but as far as I know, most of the current uploaders didn't opt for it that way and had their own setup already going.

Yea go and enjoy their new tracker scenexpress | net
Stolen borders from scl's design, they are also using some of scl's functions. Almost half of those news is not true, that's what happens when you trust some staffers.
Yes, we had lack of donations, and again when it was too late to pay for the server we lost our server and there was no way to get backups again. It's too hard to start the site from a zero when staff decides to make another project and there is almost no one left. Even when I told aquirre to turn off the site from her server she just disabled owner's acc and posted these news. Also it is hard to say that it was nothing to do with a police, there are too some personal reasons of closing the site too and I guess after reading this topic you do know enough reasons...
