Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks, flipinacoin!
flipinacoin
It’s time to enthusiastically acknowledge another staffer’s BDay. Flip has been with us for a few months now and she has consistently made a great number of quality posts, which I am sure you all enjoy. Flip is a great part of the SCNSRC team (Not a terrible a person either I might add); so lets wish her some happy celebrations!
PS. I want some damn cake already.

SceneSource Status
Hiya, sorry for the amount of non scene related posts recently but the site has been going through some significant changes and i thought we would bring you up to speed!
Well first and foremost i think the most obvious thing is the recent addition of ads. In the two and a half years we have been running scnsrc we have kept the site clean of ads but as we grew in popularity, donations were few and far between and the site costs rose higher and higher the day when we would need to make more money than what we could pay out of our own pocket was seemingly inevitable. So the choice was either shutdown scnsrc or run advertisements. We started scnsrc because we were sick and tired of other rls blogs overkill with ads, that were either malware, pornographic or just plain annoying. Although we have finally had to embrace advertisements we are still committed to our core principles of no annoying ads, no malware, no scams, no pornography, to keep them as minimal as possible and to keep them relevant to our users. We don’t profit from this site in fact quite the opposite it is loss generating and has been for over 2 years. All we hope these ads can do is break us even, no more no less. As can be seen now on the site our first affiliation is with Leechpack.com, It’s a really great service that should interest a lot of you, if you like what you see please try them out!
Moving on a bit to more exciting news, that we hit over 60k unique users on Monday. More specifically 63,184 unique hits, making it our highest ever! We now regularly get between 50,000 to 60,000 unique hits a day. Something we could never of dreamed of when we first started out 2 long years ago. Last month we recorded  446,936 unique hits and 4,535,463 total page views! Since we started recoding our hits in Feb ’09 we have had  43,838,065 total page views and 4,394,726 unique hits! I know its clichéd but really none of this would of been possible without you guys, without you we are nothing. Thank you so much we hope we can continue to grow and continue to provide you with the latest and greatest scene news!
Below are some pics of our analytics, thought some of you might be interested in them
In duller news our Twitter feed is down at the moment due to Twitter deciding to change the way it authorizes web applications, buggering our plugin. So until that gets fixed it will remain down. sadface. Still you can follow us using our RSS feed, become BFF’s on our facebook page, chat to us on IRC and drop us an email! Still plenty of ways to stay in the loop and get in touch! If you have an suggestions or anything please dont hesitate to get in touch.
As for the fate of dup3.me and trac3.me. They are still going to be down a while longer as we figure out how best to bring them back online. Unfortuantly we have no estimated time scale for this. Just sit tight. 
Anyway since im starting to go on a bit i will finish by again saying a massive thanks to everyone out there who has supported us! You should see a few new features in the future! See yah next time.

A new theme for Scene Source: Starsauce!
Hey everyone. It’s not a special day or anything; but I have been working on this new theme for a week now to perhaps enhance your reading pleasure while you’re browsing your favorite warez-scene specific release blog!
“Starsauce” is the inspired name of the theme.
I made this basic javascript/php stylesheet switcher – so at the top right of the header you can select either the default style, “Dark” or the secondary style, “Bright” and it will load the style without a page reload and of course save your preference. The theme is compatible with all modern browsers and even Internet Explorer, due to the incorporation of this script. Change the theme in the sidebar or click on the image above .
Hope you enjoy it guys.
Ps. Find any bugs let us know .
Ps2. Internet Explorer users: When you change the style you need to click the button then refresh the page. Please upgrade to Firefox/Chrome/Opera!

Starsauce theme addition – comment filters
Here is an update on a new addition to the theme “Starsauce“.
I’ve added some functionality to allow filtering of comments (Requires JavasScript). You may view a split view, links only, normal comments only and all comments (default/the way it has always been). Your preferences are saved. My hope is that it may allow users to more easily speak their minds without the fear of being buried into oblivion. At the moment it’s only functioning in the theme “Starsauce” (Click to change theme or check in sidebar). Let us know what you think and/or give us some suggestions for any other features in the comments.
P.S. Try hovering over sample image links in movie posts.
P.P.S I’ll also add that if these addons are well recieved on this theme it should likely be ported to the others.

Shadowness — comment filters / Starsauce — autoscroll
Completed comment filter plugin (Shadowness theme) and improved Infinite Scroll implementation (Starsauce theme).
Comment filters are now working on the default theme; Shadowness as it has been a well received feature .
In addition; Starsauce has gained better Infinite Scroll functionality with “AutoScroll”. Switching this off and on results in automatic next-page load (As per some readers request). Javascript required, obviously. Enjoy!!
P.S. Infinite Scroll is delayed on Shadowness until we’re sure it will not spike server load.
P.S.S If you forgot or something you can change themes in the sidebar to the right. Find “Theme Switcher”.

Brief network maintenance
We’re undergoing some server maintenance for the next few hours while we upgrade to a more sexy server; so be aware, dearest readers .
Thanks.
Shadowized: you are officially on the new server, performance should be quite a bit better during primetime but I’m still tuning php/mysql to match the new server specs.

Scene Source needs some more new talent.
We’re back for more! Scene Source requires some new people to be a part of the website’s content. If you’re interested in posting new scene releases for many thousands of your fellow readers to enjoy, then we want you to be a part of this website’s function!
Since the last time we put this post up, we received quite a few great applications and we have added quite a few promising staff; but we’re looking for more; our thirst must be quenched! Read more below…
Requirements:
It’s imperative that you have a strong grasp of the written English language, as you will be communicating with fellow staff and the readers. You will also need to join the IRC network [irc.link-net.org] to keep up to date with fellow staff.
The job
As much as we would like to we can’t pay you. Scene Source doesn’t make that kind of scratch beyond server costs! We mostly do it for “the lulz”.
Working at Scene Source means you will be using WordPress and our web apps (to make it easier) to post new releases to the website. This entails googling for information, links to websites (IMDB, Metacritics, Wikipedia etc.). Compiling sample pictures/videos, an NFO and other release related information as you see in the posts you read now. We do not upload releases; the websites main goal is the sharing of information. We will be happy to teach you how everything works, so don’t worry about that.
Apply
Please email us at info@scnsrc.net and tell us the following:
- Introduce yourself
- Country you live in.
- Relevant skills (May be experience with WordPress, IRC, Python/PHP/TCL etc.)
- A little about yourself.
Write the application as you would a resume, though not as formal. A good example of what not to do is to limit yourself from using initialisms like “lol” too often (none at all, for the best effect).
Thank you !

Upcoming changes and a new URL
Dear readers. Recently we have been committing change, trying to better the website with more staff and improving the way the site functions.
Domain change
To the point: Due to some ludicrous DMCA take down notices some popular search engines have decided to block some portions of the website’s content from being indexed (who don’t seem to be budging). This sucks. Basically, we believe the best way to counter this is to move the site to
scnsrc.me and/or scenesource.me
Please update your bookmarks! The other Scene Source domains will redirect to scnsrc.me regardless.
Upcoming content/changes
We have been contemplating quite a few new additions to the site and community. These include (not in order):
- A forum (Likely small)
- Getting the predb back up
- Top 10 most popular posts per [insert timeframe here]
- All categories being filterable
- Our own image host including optimized images throughout
- Various optimizations, as always
^ None of the above is set in stone exactly; but we’re working towards it all in a semi-intelligent fashion .
Suggestions
Make some. As far as we’re concerned the site is better than ever and will continue to gather in awesomeness over time .
Thanks.

Unveiling PreDB.me, a release database
Many of you recall our old predb, DUP3.me. Due to previous admin’s incompetence in regard to security, some rather mad sceners decided they would compromise the servers. We then imagined an amusing project would be to rebuild the predb bigger and better than before (and completely from scratch), and thus PreDB.me exists, though we apologize for taking our sweet time.
This time around, it’s filled with 4.2 million+ releases, 3.4 million more than before. The up time should be decent and soon there will be more redundancy to help prevent gaps in the database and missing releases. Our pre sources are fast and consistent, but we may choose to use public pre sources as a redundancy if anything falls through. Additionally, the database has scraped data (ratings, images, blurbs) for movies and tv shows, from tvrage, imdb and wikipedia.
The site is quite interactive so you should not have javascript or cookies disabled. We will not track you or store any of your data. There are quite a few filtering features briefly documented here to allow you to narrow down your searches or to build custom listings. Currently searching’s functionality and ease of use could be much improved which will come later on. If you would like to give feedback or let us know about bugs you can visit this page or just comment below. You must also note that foreign releases are by default filtered out of the front page and single category pages. When you use the search bar, they’re included, but you may filter it out by adding tag:-foreign to your searches.
You may switch between light and dark schemes by clicking the light bulb icon below the logo, at the top left of the page, and clicking the gear icon will open the options window where you will be able to customize quite a few things (more options soon, suggestions welcome). For now, you may use the custom search link functionality – it’s rather self explanatory.
More features will be coming soon, including: Archives (searching by date), relative popularity scores, top 10 pages, compact view, more user settings and easier term including/excluding.
We’re not including NFO’s at this time, though that could change.
Thanks.
// NuZZ, Shadowized
