Hi there, the Scene has voted with their feet - after trying hard for three years to establish it, SceneCity clearly is unneeded and unwanted. People prefer Discord/Twitch/YouTube/etc these days, and that is OK.

As there are no party streams scheduled, shutting the system down on short notice should not hurt anyone.

In case you have a private channel on SceneCity that you would like to have exported, please contact us on the #SceneCity channel.

Sorry it didn't work out. This is the first time I even heard of SceneCity.

thank you for writing and hosting it. I already dm'ed you about it some time ago, but I still think it's super cool to have a platform without moderators going full ham on you for random reasons and I really appreciated its existence. sorry to hear you're closing it. I think with 1119 people on there I'd not call it unwanted.

Anyway, it's a harsh time of the year, I recognize that I'm out of fuel as well. I wish you the best moving forward.

So I signed up and it seems quite nice. Sorry I was too late.

Sorry to hear that. Was just about to forewarn about Gerp 2025 in January >>

It was Gerps choice of streaming service since no random bans due to "inappropriate pixel breasts" or tracker music that may sound like something else etc.

Not sure what to go with now, maybe we'll try out Twitch again, or YouTube. Haven't used any of them for a while since SceneCity just were there for us (with good direct support from Scamp).

Thanks for the service!

SceneSat are still around, you know...

Great, will contact you (SceneSat) about it very soon then :).

Not really uptodate on which services still available, så thanks for the info.

<3 for trying

I am sad if this goes away. I like this service and I very much appreciate all the efforts put in to this over the years. I've been trying to push orgas to use this, but I've noticed that there is pushback. I tried to talk Assembly to use this, but they are a Twitch partner so that died right there and then. I suggested this to Alternative Party but they opted to use SceneSat instead, probably due to familiarity.

Today has been quite a day overall. And I hope you, scamp, cool down a bit to consider the amount work put into this and give it another chance of life. I feel this is not a contest, and fighting against the established big ones is surely not an easy fight and not one that can be won overnight. SceneCity has a lot of traction and has done so many things right.

I hope you reconsider.

Sad and sorry to hear that.. I actually loved scenecity ! I enjoyed watching the "tv" which made me discover some great demos.
Scenecity is great but I believe it suffers from a lack of communication.
but yeah...a little tired and drunk tonight so i ll just say..
yeah it's sad
and personally I prefer when demoparties are streamed to sites like scenesat, scenecity or ccc (I hate twitch..it ui and ux are terrible to me..Youtube is OK though)

It's sad to see scenecity go. I really appreciate the work you put in this and I agree it's important to establish alternatives to the commercial platforms.

It's always a hard fight but I think it should be fought anyway.
Over the last twenty years, the capitalist economy has really conquered the sphere of internet communication to a point where it is difficult to roll back.

Pitty nothing lasts forever ofcourse.. thanks for trying with scenecity!

To be perfectly honest, I had no idea what SceneCity was. I saw the name a few times, and I was exposed to the chat part (I had no idea until now that there were other parts) when registering for UC.

So as far as I can tell, before any potential execution or interest problem, maybe there was just a marketing problem.

Maybe it'd help to have some kind of hub referencing the existing infrastructure?

this is sad news, but also understandable. too tired to type meaningful stuff into the phone now. i hope we can keep the streaming paltform alive in one way or another.
