Whoever coined the phrase Black Friday gives it all new meaning, as this is also the weekend that SceneTorrents announced they’ll be quitting the torrent scene forever. Sadly, there really isn’t a substitute for this one-of-a-kind tracker, although many communities are pulling together to offer ScT refugees a new home. We’ve come up with a list of trackers that are offering invites, special/open signups or IRC recruitment in honor of ScT. If you feel like getting involved, add your site in a comment.
TorrentLeech
Still offering invites through their IRC #invites channel.
Stats: Members - 182,000. Torrents - 23,970.
SCC
Also offering invites through #scc-support, recently raised their member limit from 16,000 to 20,000 to accommodate stranded ScT members. Read the MOTD (channel topic), and have your ScT profile link available. This is said to be ending soon; we can’t confirm when.

GFT
GFT has opened their invite channel to ScT members only. “We have limited spots for ex sct members. #gft-invites gets crowded so we had to set invite only when group of 10-15 pps are in. After they are done, channel is -i so others can get in, and os on…. so be patient and keep trying.”
