    I never could wrap my head around why anyone would care about a few seconds difference on release times. I guess it must be a adolescent thing.

    The one thing that stuck out about ScT for me, is that you could donate for invites...Or in other words, you could buy invites. Which I found pretty amusing in that if you were found selling ScT invites or giving them away on an invite forum, you were banned. Typical hypocrisy.

    Was it really THAT great, or did it's reputation surpass the reality? Seems like a routine scene site, not as content rich as many scene/p2p sites that encourage uploads by everyone.

    It was a routine scene site, but with one big difference, which you will most likely never see today. The majority of members actually used the site, which meant that it wasn't really a problem to seed, since seedbox space was lower and that meant the uploaders left the swarms pretty fast and regular members with slow lines stayed on to seed as long as needed. Which in turn meant that you could easily survive as a heavy user with a slow pipe. Also it pretty much always worked and loaded fast, thus stayed pretty active and interesting.

    I don't believe there is any way to achieve this now with the acceptance of the majority of Bt-users that non-scene is almost always better quality.

    Nowadays, there are more trackers than there are members, so if your tracker misbehaves, they get bookmark removed, or worse, URL deleted.

    Leave it to GoldenHourPin-stripedTitBabbler to take this "remembrance" seriously.

    Well shoot me for being a bit nostalgic. I miss the old days before OiNK, SCT and FTWR shut down.

    Would it be OK if I use an arrow? I'm not so fond of explosion-based armaments. Actually, I can't be bothered with honoring a rendezvous at the moment. Would you mind setting up something with Meg who I'm sure can simultaneously act in my stead and satisfy your request?

    Hey is this a "My spastic internet teenager is better than your spastic internet teenager" thread because I really get into something like that in a big way.

    Here's Herman Mezleshits.
