Scenelife forever in our hearts

Let the hype begin. :happy:

I got a hold of their FAQ yesterday and my attention was drawn to how they plan to stop ratio whoring (demoting users if their ratio goes above a certain figure). It's the first time I see such a system on a tracker.

Idk if thats the right way to go about things... i mean thats like punishing someone for doing extra credit...
 
Looking to trade ScL account for something PM me! Such a good buffer you could download every torrent on the site and still have a ratio over 10.0!

Who cares, all the torrents are freeleech now :shifty:

But seriously, it's really bad to loose another decent torrent site with few years of history and such a beautiful design and friendly folks. I almost stopped using it after I got invited to ScT (ouch), but I'll be definitely looking forward to the new site they are working on.

ScL > ScT imo
But I have seen the falling of ScL over it's time, and it's death was not much of a surprise. Hopefully the new site is just as good as ScL was back in the old days. :)

not really, why does one need to obtain huge buffers anyways?.. there's only 2 reasons i can think of.. those are: for trading pruposes.. and to leech without feeling that you need to seed back. the later i've seen some say they do, they'll build up a big buffer.. then hit and run feeling like they are covered because of it.. both are undesireable ....
 
No, when they were newer they kicked ScT's ass, they were the best tracker, but did not last to long, and they slowly became worse and worse.

Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but that's still not true. Perhaps people assumed that it was better because of the amazing amount of effort you needed to put in, in order to get in. However, it was nothing special.

The bigger joke was the fact that the Sys-Ops sold their uploaders axx. Instead of reeling in professional uploaders, they just brought in people with enough money for a line. Great, is it not? It's one of the old bt archaic examples of why P2P truly WAS a risk to the scene. :)
 
AsianDVDClub had created a program a little while ago that scanned users' hard drives for missing .torrent files, and then it would upload any that it found back to the site, where staff would have to re-add it. It was a great idea, and it worked, recovering ~4200 torrents. Maybe more sites that hit trouble could adopt such a method.

Well depends how people download I guess, me I download .torrent in folder, add to client and delete.
