Look at the news post. I predicted in this thread that with less than 10,000 members the financing of the tracker won't work. The tracker is not bad in terms of pretimes, speed and quantity. Instead of getting more users in, staff disabled almost half of the userbase. You can't force people to buy in your store. Buy something or we're going to throw you out doesn't work. Especially when there's other stores around the corner that offer the same goods. If they don't change their snatch policy and get a few thousand members more they'll never reach they're donation goal in the near future. An inactive member might become active. A disabled member is worth nothing.
They should open signups as soon as they can. They need 10,000-15,000 users. Although I'm afraid without the new tracker hype bonus it'll be hard now.
Well, I already posted good bye in their forum. I wished them good luck, told them the tracker was nice and I simply had better trackers for scene releases. The thread was immediately trashed and deleted. My account will probably be disabled soon.

"...I simply had better trackers for scene releases.The thread was immediately trashed and deleted."
why would you join a tracker explicitly named "scene" when in your mind you already have better tracker for scene content?
and did you think they wouldn't trash a thread like that. had they left it open, you most likely would have been flamed to death by members.
I wouldn't have joined the tracker if it had been completely new. I was a ScL member from the beginning and kind of liked it. The founders were nice people. So I was curious about the successor. Turns out I don't need the tracker so I'm going to let my account die. Not a big deal.

curiosity is a word of the day
A whole month has gone by and not a single donation was made to them? Wow.
Ellipses go here.
What is the commotion about?
Care to spill the details to non members?
To be honest, I don't check out donation information at most trackers I'm at too much, which is why I was surprised (I donate when I can to the places I truly appreciate, that's the extent of me sweating over it). The donations were supposedly "down" for a while, and they came back up on the 17th according to an announcement (that I just read today). A site announcement/reminder (kindof shows up like "You have a new message" announcements) popped up saying donations are low etc. The donations are at 0%. So either the donations were reset, or within the past 14 days no donations were made at all.
Ellipses go here.
okay
Thanks for the info, ringhunter.
