proof that moot is a noob

So moot put this link up, it leads to an ascii image of a cat, which is horribly distorted on opera. He should've used <pre> tags, and not <br> after every line.
conclusion: N00B!!!~!!~

I fucking hate The Scene. They're a bunch of elitist retards who keep on using idiotic methods of distribution just because they're the "Unwritten Informal Rules of God." Stop splitting things in tiny rars and then put them in zips inside of rars inside of tar.gzs inside of rars. Stop wasting time on making ASCII art in fonts no one has anymore. Stop using your FTPs with rules from 15 years ago. You don't need "couriers," "pre-channels" or "topsites", just fucking torrent it. What the fuck is your problem? There are plenty of ultra-cool supah sekrit private trackers you can use to make your releases if you feel public ones are not "underground" enough for you.

You're not doing it for "quality." Your average "non-scene" Blackcats game or your average "non-scene" what.cd FLAC torrent are of equal or better quality than "scene" releases. I remember that recently, a DS game (was it Final Fantasy IV? I can't remember) was released first by someone "who didn't belong to the scene." The "scene" release showed up several hours later and it ended up being a bad dump. What happened, did you accidentally jizzed all over your DS while you were dumping the cart just thinking about all the eProps your buddies were going to give you for dumping a high profile game for their glory? And why did you feel the need to make a dupe of something someone else had already dumped? Just because it's missing a cool "-L33TKiDZ" tag on the filename, that doesn't mean you need to dupe it, asshole.

Stop clinging to obsolete formats that no one else uses. Really, who the hell wants to download 1G of Xvid? If I'm downloading a goddamned HD show, maybe I have what it takes to play h.264?

They should learn a couple of things from the anime fansubbing scene. Anyone can start a group. If a group sucks, natural selection will take care of them, because the channels of communication that allow people to judge and rate them are there. All groups are given equal chances. They have simple methods of distribution (XDCC + torrent), always jump on new, more efficient technologies and generally don't have dumb hierarchies.

In the meanwhile, "The Scene" is stuck in the 80s with their obsolete technology and "Secret Handshake Club No Girls Allowed" Elementary School bullshit.
