By that of course you mean you're a fellow cheater, don't you?
(and one of the dumbest ones in the history of BT, from what I've heard.)

Anyway, sounds like a quality tracker.

p.s. Isn't there a single mod here on FST with enough sense to remove the links to this obvious passwords/donations catching scam site?
 
Looks like it was hosted on a Santrex box:

$ host scenetorrents.biz
scenetorrents.biz has address 188.72.241.32

$ whois 188.72.241.32
inetnum: 188.72.240.0 - 188.72.241.255
netname: SANTREX-INTERNET-SERVICE-968432
descr: Santrex Internet Service
 
Gold. Comedy gold. Bet you every single invite seller on the planet (about 600 of them as the ScT 2.0 stats say) has joined on there.

Taken from the ScT IRC Channel:

* Now talking in #SceneTorrents
* Topic is '[scenetorrents ex-user hangout chan] :: no invite asking / trading / offering :: ScTBDev - Out Soon :: SCT-SCC Theme - 0.9 :: - ENGLISH ONLY - scenetorrents.biz is a fake scam site.'
* Set by feeling on Wed Feb 17 02:51:30

What does that mean?:blink:

Anyone up for translating this sh*t?
 
LOL

Someone tried to make a good site as oink, now someone tries to make SCT v2. And all these things are around money. Oh cmon, people gota find a job, not start a tracker :p
 
I heard that before shutdown the SCT the staff giving the members ( who donate ) double upload credit and double invites, after that the site was down. Is it coincidence or it was by plan.

I just had quite a decent chat with the new Sys-Op. As far as I can see into this character, his intent is not scamming. He's just trying to bring something he loved back.

He was one of the people who worked on the ScTv2 project that everyone on Eclecticist was expecting, and he's handling it all now (simply because everyone quit). Maybe I was too quick to judge this one.

First of all ppl who worked on v2, quited and they have no idea who this 'sct' is. Second do you believe him if he said he is your father too?

I agree with all your points. Trust me, I do. But what I don't agree with are the people that continue to call him a scammer. He wasn't scamming anyone, but the way he went about things was all wrong. Starting from the name, to the front end, to the code, to the IRC, to everything, he made a ton of mistakes. And yet, he was genuinely trying to get it all up on his own, but just didn't know how, so it came off as a scam-looking scheme.

And you're right, he needed a little bit more transparency about what exactly he was trying to achieve when he was talking about dumps. At any rate, I really doubt this is the last we've seen of that. When I was talking to him at one point in the conversation he said "No matter how many times I will fail I'll keep trying". I don't think he was joking.

PS: I understand the point you were making when you mentioned the new userbase. Nearly every new user thread was "I wasn't an ScT member before". At least Ch*** made an account. :closedeye

EDIT: On second thought, maybe it's not so smart to post a member's name out here in the open.

wtf is it? any ideas or additional info?

Had to start a thread about it as the queries about ScT.biz' legitimacy would have gotten lost in teh main ScT thread.


Screenshots suggesting its a crappy ripoff:

I honestly login there daily, and nothing's happening. The last post was what? 3 days ago? I don't understand why the community didn't actually want to stick together as much I did. There was this huge influx of "Yeah, eclecticist! let's go go go!" when the mass PM went out, then everyone disappeared.

I guess you could call it settling in, I call them hypocrites for joining a place called sctcommunity just to get invited to other places.

j0hn, I respect you a whole lot, you know I do, but you honestly don't know much about this dude.

For the torrent dumps, the first announcement on Eclecticist made mentioned that they had the whole tracker backed up, including the torrents. I can't for the life of me find the thread to link you to it, but they had said that they had backed up the whole place forums, userdb and torrents, and it will be back up on the new ScT.

The main Sys-Op is a scene courier, though he denied to tell me on what sites in an what courier groups, called it for security reasons (kind of hypocritical if he's running a torrent website). He even runs his own ftp, the issue with the pretimes is he knows no one able to help him to get the eggdrop bot up and running. He himself doesn't know how. That's why the pretimes have been slow. He's doing it all manually.

As for the donations issue, and this is the part that convinced me he isn't trying to scam anyone out of anything - he told me his life story. I'm dead serious, he told me where he was born, where he moved to, issues with family, where he is now, I mean if he truly was a scammer I don't think he would have gone into as much detail. He explained to me that he's having monetary issues right now, and trust me, j0hn, the server fees are not even 2% of what they were on ScT.

As for the remainder of your points: Yes, he has no IRC security expertise, but then again neither do I so who am I to judge.

According to him, he WAS a member on ScT. According to him, he hooked up feeling with HIS access (this part is pretty shady if you ask me). He gave me his old name, I've tried asking feeling but he was asleep or dead (flip a coin for your choice :P). Apparently he's also had a private chat with FLX over which he gave FLX proof that he was part of the team that quit, and I haven't heard from FLX since. Take that as you must.

When I talked to him about the name and compared FTBR with FTWR and why FTBR had to die, he agreed and told me he will change the logo when he has the time, and eventually the name. The guy is sincere, he was just pissed off everyone quit and he wouldn't let it die. And, j0hn, I want it back too.

Random info: FLX's new ScT was going to be called www.overseed.me ; I think I'd rather go with the .biz domain.

EDIT: Gah, the curse of not using my usual nickname on here. If you want we can take this over to the sctcom boards, where it belongs, and where certain parties (FLX) can have a direct say.

EDIT2: And I guess that's that. Account suspended, someone probably told the host (who was in germany by the way) that it was sharing copyright material. Ah well.
