Only today?

There's occasionally a constructive comment thrown in, usually as a method of trolling to distract from the flames.

Like I said, feel free to msg the staff at the places I mentioned, they will happily verify these claims. I believe Wi0 was online at the time he (Kingdom/ALLiANCE) was DDoSing P2P-NET.eu because SCC had moved their main channel there.

Registered an account just to post that? Troll much? Proof or gtfo.

I'm actually kinda surprised people don't want to spit every time ScT is mentioned. The owner running off with thousands of dollars of member donated money- money that could have been used to keep trustworthy, respectably owned sites alive. An incident that makes people more leery of donating to BT sites.

ScT has got to be the biggest blight in Bit Torrent history.

If you think the owners of ScT are the only torrent site owners to make a dime off p2p then you're an idiot.

Yes, there have been unscrupulous scumbags who have made money from this community. I said, "biggest blight", and I will stand by that. He deliberately pushed for a massive donation drive for the future of the site, and upon receiving that massive support, quickly closed and stole the money. ScT should NOT be held in any esteem, and should serve as a lesson and shame on the community. Anytime the words, "NEW ScT" are mentioned there should be loathe and disgust attached, NOT reverence.

If anyone deserves serious BAD karma, it's feeling.

MBM, there has never been any proper reason for the closure of the site, nor any proof that the drive was a giant scam. The sane choice would be to assume the middle-ground and make no assumptions. You're forming your opinion based on nothing more than a hunch. ScT had 2-3 donation drives in the year leading up to its demise. I'd chalk its death up to a co-incidence, more than nefarious intentions.

[megabyteme]

Then, you are saying, the money was stolen from the community with "good" intentions...

We aren't talking about a couple hundred, we are talking into the thousands. Oooooops.

Were any of the donations returned to the people who donated in there last big "donation drive"? that would have been the decent thing to do. They also had another big donation drive 2/3 months previous.

As for SCT community, it was full of childish immature rude idiots and idling in their iRC channel proved what type of community SCT had.

[megabyteme]

No, the donations were not returned, nor was any reason given for the closure of the site, nor the disappear of feeling with the money.

Other than that, tooootally leeegit.

And yet, believe it or not, that is what some people enjoyed and/or currently enjoy someplace else. To paraphrase what Idoleyes said earlier on: Community is what you make of it, and how you fit in. If you don't fit in, well obviously you will have some distaste for what happens, but if you do, then you're left reminiscing upon the good stuff. To further paraphrase this: Different perspectives, mon ami. As evident by this thread's entirety, some people hate FST for the behavior of the majority here, but how can you defend someplace, and judge another by the same measure that ticked you off in the first place?

Again, you're fabricating an entire story, and tailoring it to meet your ends. If people wanted their money back, they could have asked for a paypal chargeback. Considering paypal always sides with the buyer, it would've been the easiest thing to do. Fact: Nobody did so. Which leads to the question of why? Well because even though the donations did "disappear", there was still enough time to use up whatever buffer or invite you bought. I apologize that people only donate when they want something, but it wasn't like invites had JUST been opened. If someone wanted a friend in, that friend would have gotten in. As for bought buffer, well, I'm sure some people used it, some didn't; that's the fault of the person not the website. And again nobody stopped anybody from disputing or asking for a chargeback.

It's apparent that no one has learnt anything from the FTN fiasco. So here: Sometimes people aren't able to talk or give reasons for something, but as a great sys-op who ran the place for 4.5 years, I hardly doubt it's doing Feeling any justice assuming he became a thief overnight. Why can't you just chalk it up to him not being able to give a reason, rather than the absence of one altogether?

It's like any of the great philosophical debates: In the absence of more proof, the only logical stance to assume is the neutral one. There's no need to assume Feeling was a saint (he ran a website aimed towards piracy, after all), and no reason to assume he was a scum bag by all measures. If you hated ScT like Ev0 did, that's all fine and dandy, but there's no reason to pass fiction as reality, and then build an opinion based on that. Was there a donation drive? Yes. Did the site close down? Yes. Was the intention of the drive and shut down the theft of the donations? Who the fuck knows. All I know is, Feeling had Christmas designs setup, as well. If he wanted to just run off with donations, he would have. Afaik, he's still around to this day. As are all the other ScT mods/admins - Eezee in this thread being a prime example.
