In these days nobody cares about the 1337, now its about The Money you pay (aka donate) you get in - that simple

Meh, I'm sure people have heard my opinion about this one before. The only thing that's left to say is:

I never took you for an idiot up and until this point.

SCC successfully replaced sct (in terms of content SCC is actually better right now), so i don't really understand why people still look for any other "replacements". And don't give me the old "community" bs, most of the regulars/staff moved over to scc when sct shut down. Besides, there was even a forum for ex-sct members. (don't know if it still exists)

So what's missing? The warm feeling of exclusivity?

As far as pre's and speed of torrents Sct in its day was Number 1
Lot of peeps used Sct as their axx to upload to other sites, even if scc got a better pre by 3 sec's still better off at Sct as torrent speed would max out the server, only site I had to limit server download speed as not to crash the BT client
Plenty of sites to replace it that's for sure but Sct will go down as one of the best.

Disagreed. 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.

This is arguable. There's definitely a difference in perspectives, though, depending on which prebot you'd trust the most. Even though there was no doubt ScT had quality access, I doubt the prebot they were privy to was at the caliber of a private ring's prebot such as SCC's (and FTN soon enough, I presume). Lots of people used SCC as secondary access at the time, since ScT had a stronghold on the no-spam issue, which meant that unless you had a different method of obtaining those releases, you should have also needed to rely on SCC (if you needed them, that is, which I do every now and again, personally). We're agreed on your last statement.
