    I'd ask you what you think a good forum post entails but it's obvious by your attempt at a sentence that you couldn't muster the think part.Besides I don't want to unnecessarily burden your mother( poor woman) with anymore of your crying about how people are always making fun of you just because your stupid and ugly -not to mention a chronic masturbator .
    Although considering the "stupid and ugly " part I guess there could be some sense in that .

    Btw thanks for attempting to write writing that, as it was a nice diversion for the ScT twaddle.Even ringhunter's essay couldn't disguise the fact of how patently stupid the whole thread is .Proves that you can write well, you can write long , but because of the original subject matter anything said is still going to end up being silly.

    PS if people really paid out of their own pockets for " 6 dedicated 10gbit servers to the swarms" that is truly sad.

    I'm sure that while the masses of mouth-breathing adolescents appreciated the increased speed at which they could download Transformers 2 and the last season of Heroes the thought does cross my mind that the same money spent could probably have saved several hundred people from starving to death in Sudan.
    Of course the "generous" donor wouldn't be seen as "cool" by the legion of internet wanks and any "glory" would be lost and there are clearly already too many people on the planet ,so obviously he made the wise choice.
    Respect my lack of authority.

    The same goes for anything really. An opera singer doing it for money, instead of trying to entertain the poor, a theist not giving up all his money (that would really be a benefit to everyone) and an owner of a server farm deciding to aid copyright infringement instead of running a viral ad/game that helps the cause in Haiti (given that I assume said person was going to own the servers anyway). It's just perspectives, and oft people have eschewed opinions on what is right when they have the resources to be used at their discretion. Just look at addon3475 and dictionaries. More on that later.

    From my side of things, I enjoyed the speeds (as great as Demonoid is, I've had enough of waiting two weeks for a torrent's arrow to flip 180 degrees), and I'm sure "generous" donations had a major part in why that was so. Whether the resources could have been used more aptly or even better is arguable, yet meaningless. I'd rather the person spend the money on something as pointless, yet harmless as bittorrent and its silly speeds, rather than growing weed or conium in their own backyard (who said intelligence had anything to do with anything?). They made a difference in their own bubble of a world, and they were happy until exactly one year ago, so who am I to argue what pit they should have thrown their money/"generosity" into?

    I say "generosity" since there's no way for me to know if the servers were pre-owned and doing nothing, if the person would have bought them anyway (the way I see it, he might have as well, and this served as a donation from what was hopefully a much greater supply) and if the person thought he deserved anything in return.

    Derp. By the way, that last "ahhhh", is that you screaming at the brink of your epiphany, or is it the sort that a toddler makes when a great weight is lifted off his chest (presumably in the form of another toddler)?

    Yes. It was gone a couple of months after everything settled down from mine. (I wanted to have a smiley here, but they all seemed equally annoying, feel free to use your imagination to insert one here.)
    On the contrary, though, I know people with it still as their homepage. Not the most gracious way to break-up with a website, if you ask me.

    I was on there for the last 3 months of it's life. My only real memory of it was Feeling asking for like 9000 Euro before... If you want a replacement, it's unlikely to come... "Scene axx" is so common nowadays that any shite-site can pay for it, with auto upload scripts included ffs. The leetness of such BT sites is fading.

    ScT is past for 1 year, and what once gone, never comes back. Now SCC is as good as ScT, may be even better..
    so, no need to cry for a dead tracker.
    I pray for ScT, may torrent god bless you in torrent heaven.

    They unlike OiNK had only scene content.. SCC probably wins them in everything now.. maybe except for retention which is somewhat countered by the free leech packs at SCC.

    Idol.. don't feed the troll.. he is clearly one..
    Back after going through many ordeals of paying for my internet.

    The difference imo is in the former two cases ( that being the opera singer and the theist )they are occupations and as far as I know people still require money to live . I don't know about the sever farmer though because I've frankly never eaten serve .
    I did have blowfish once but I'm only really mentioning that because I know you have an affinity for blow or blowing or something like that.

    @Lovestoned I have nothing against trolls ,sometimes being one myself.The only thing that bothers me is when they ( as is the case with strapon169) totally lack originality and wit .
    Respect my lack of authority.

ScT was not only quality by virtue of its member base (which in fact did not all move to SCC, I can list dozens of names from the forums that are currently inactive on SCC that I used to enjoy the company of/hearing their opinions out on ScT). ScT was quality by the (as ironic as it sounds) love that went into the tracker, and the dedication of its member base. The ScT uploaders were willing to spend upwards of tens of thousands of dollars to keep the quality and happiness levels on-site up for all members. The last time I turned to see how SCC's volunteer uploaders were doing, all I saw were complaints of issues on weekly packs (which I don't care about, personally) and missing uploaders after the PS3 jailbreak (which was promptly fixed). Add to that the fact that ScT had a bunch of dedicated users that even after the shutdown were resilient in not offering their services anywhere else (say what you want, one member was offering 6 dedicated 10gbit servers to the swarms, I'm unaware of any other tracker that is currently getting as much support) and were dedicated to ScT, and you have your answer for why SCC, as great as it is, still does not match up to ScT.

    One thing I will add, though, is the fact that SCC trumps ScT in other regards. Take for example the fact that I can download music singles/club remixes from SCC, or that the packs are perhaps even better than the ones ScT used to offer (I dont remember anything on ScT that made me quite as happy as seeing the complete gamecube collection on SCC). Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but at the time of ScT's existence, SCC was the more exclusive tracker, considering it had a more limited member-base and an arguably more elitist community (given their pretimes etc.)

    EDIT: And oh, eclecticist/sctcom went down about a couple of months back. Not a total loss, considering there was 0 activity on there anyway.
    Well, i don't feel like i missed anything when sct shut down, and the tracker was my primary source for scene content (and non scene occasionally). The community was nice, there were many trolls and flamming going around the forum and also pretty informative and knowledgeable (I can compare it with HDBits userbase actually)... but come on, i don't think it was really that great. Not saying that there were not dedicated members on there, but many of them made having the best upload speed/amount or the most seedboxes a competition just to feed their egos.
    Now about SCC packs... i don't think the missing rars and stuff is a problem anymore last time i checked (i couldn't care less about weekly packs, so i can be wrong on this one). And about the exclusivity of both, i still think sct was more exclusive. I remember when scc handed invites to its members like candy (3 at a time) when in sct you had to pay 20€/win a competition to get one. That's why maybe people can't get over it: they've spend their money and time on it like they never did on any other tracker, so they valued the tracker.

    I still think SCC successfully replaced sct... but what do i know, your needs may be very different from mine
