^^^ this is it in a nutshell
the so called "ScT v2" that FLX was trying to develop was never going to have scenetorrents in the url, in anyway. in the exact same way that scenetorrents evolved from elitetorrents, it was a direct replacement, but it became its own site, with its own brand, its own logo, its own design, etc.
scenetorrents.biz is a blatant rip-off of somebody else's site and ideas. the name, design and logo are direct copies from the original scenetorrents.org
Th0r, would you believe me if I said I already talked to him (and he agreed) about changing the name?
when? after he's tricked 10,000 users into joining what they think is the return of an old site. when you say you talked to him about changing the name he agreed... well, when i mentioned he was ripping-off somebody's work, he swiftly banned me from his site.
was this guy even a member on ScT? oh yea, he was the irc bot, or so his imaginative nick suggests.
just because he assures you his site isn't a scam, his very 1st news post has a few discrepencies, to say the least...

Us Will Take Some Time to Config Old Dump Again (1,2 Months)[/quote]
what dumps? nobody ever got hold of a copy of the ScT database. does he mean plain old html dumps? if so they're useless, he's not even running TBDev. i don't even know if FLX would just hand them to him, seeing as though FLX is trying to sell the work he's done so far. when i questioned him about this, after much stuttering, and 5 answers later, he's now claiming "old dumps" means a copy of EVERY SINGLE TORRENT that was on sct. although html dumps of a couple of the old sct forums were obtained, and an html dump of users.php, nobody thought about grabbing all the .torrent files.
[quote="SCT" News]Us Need Uploaders If You Have Server With +100Mbit and Scene Acess Contact Staff on Menu INFO and SUPPORT[/quote]
judging by their "pretimes" they have no scene access at all, and are using other torrent sites as their source. thats no way to run a torrent site. i wrote "pretimes" because comparing the sites listed pretimes with a predb, he's actually manually entering the pretimes, and his maths isn't too great.
probably worst of all...

Us NEED DONATIONS, to KEEP us ALIVE, Dont Let SCT Dies Again.[/quote]
begging for donations the day you open your site is quite worrying. nobody seems to know who this guy is (oh yea, he's an irc bot), and he's already wanting users hard earned cash. i guess that'll be to pay for his scene access...oh, wait.. nevermind
and finally....

About IRCD. Nomore ANNOUNCE on IRC will be used. Security Reasons![/quote]
that of course has nothing to do with the fact this guy doesn't know how to make an announce bot, or properly secure an irc channel.
i want sct to return more than anyone, but folks, this isn't it, and it doesn't even come close. anytime i've raised any of these issues with the guy, either on the shoutbox, or in the forums, i've been swiftly banned and my posts removed.
