ScT Goes Pay2Leech

[PiraSoftCORP]

From System at 2007-04-03 18:50:43 (4 hours ago) GMT(NEW!)

Alright folks, the time has come. Starting Friday, the new Credit system will be implemented.

We'll start off here by explaining what it's all about and why we're doing this again.
Over the past few months, donations have significantly declined, forcing bills to be paid out of pocket. Due to this, we're implementing this new Credit system.
Please understand that this what we have deemed necessary to keep this site open and available for all of us to love and enjoy.

Now onto the details. Here is an overview of what you will receive in exchange for your donation.

General Upload credit donations:



* A 10€ Donation gives you 10GB upload credit.



* A 20€ Donation gives you 25GB upload credit.



* A 30€ Donation gives you 40GB upload credit.



* A 50€ Donation gives you 65GB upload credit.


For the custom donations, the amount of upload credit you get per euro is based on how much you donate:



* 10.00 - 19.99€ will give you 1GB per euro



* 20.00 - 29.99€ will give you 1.25GB per euro



* 30.00 - 50.00€ will give you 1.3125GB per euro



* 50.00+€ will give you 65GB for the first 50.00€ plus 1.5GB per euro for the remaining euros


Also, any donation over 10€ will earn you a star, a custom title, and voice on IRC.

We would also like to state in plain English, DONATING WILL NOT EXEMPT YOU FROM A BAN. If, after a donation, you are still a user that will be banned for a low ratio, your donation will not prevent that from happening. You are STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN RATIO. We want to make that very clear. This site is about sharing, and it will stay that way. You just get a small bonus for your contribution to the site ;)

Also, on a side note, we will be increasing the user limit soon to help everyone further increase their ratios, and the long awaited new design will be up at the end of the month, with a new server so no more timeouts or slowdowns.


To discuss this mass pm -

Thanks for all your support, and we hope our decisions will make ScT the best it can be. :)

We would also like to mention, you will be able to choose not to recieve the upload credit when you donate if that is your wish.

Also, you will recieve invites as a part of your bonus for donating.

With a 20 Euro donation, you will receive 1 invite.
With a 30 Euro donation, you will receive 2 invites.
With a 50 Euro Donation, you will receive 3 invites.

THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS getting into ScT will not be nearly impossible anymore.

[LeetAdama]

indeed not, people simply have more reason to charge for them.

If your ratio needs boosting, the money would probably be better spent on a seedbox though, imo.

[amaru_10]

i agree with leetadama. but we shall c.

[redMonster]

I feel little sad that ScT had to go pay2leech. It may affect the quality of the tracker with some leechers coming on and increase in the user limit.

[greken24]

a lvl 5 tracker will become lvl 3.. im sure about that

[import_fighter]

a lvl 5 tracker will become lvl 3.. im sure about that

if even..who would forcebly want to have to buy download credits. dont get me wrong i donate to good sites but when i feel like it not cause i have to , to use it.

FTN level 5.5 lol

[sky2007]

what this mean by pay2leech.is that mean when you download you have to pay for this

[optimus_prime]

no tracker can survive strictly closed for long time, that's proven fact :)

[parkbenchi]

Why is this such a big deal? Most sites give you upload crerdit for donating. That's not pay2leech lol

[sky2007]

no tracker can survive strictly closed for long time, that's proven fact :)

I agree with you

[badnizzle]

Thats just wrong...they were #1 site without this now they gonna loose people who don't have seedbox... :) agree they will go down on ranking!:icon_pira

[fargif]

If it keeps Sct online i don´t care what they do.Period.
Just hope their high standarts don´t fall down.

[Bucktoof]

I heard that the community rallied and started donating like crazy, raised maybe $1000 or euros, not sure which they counted by from where I heard.

I thought that when that happened, they could forget about going pay2leech

[trevorob]

what this mean by pay2leech.is that mean when you download you have to pay for this

no you can download as normal just giving you the option to pay2leech

[PiraSoftCORP]

meaning if your ratio sucks and your connection sucks also you can donate 20 euros and get a set amount of gigs added to your account
