This might sound surprising to you, but I was actually a scener a few years back. I helped with some scripting&admin, was a member at an awesome ASCii artist group, and did a few more things I shouldn't really write about in public got free leech n stuff It was great but I stopped being active and eventually quit..
However nowadays i've lost my contacts and its really difficult (or at least, 5-6y ago it was for me) to get into a big site ring with a proper movie archive
But I agree that that really is the ideal solution I just lack the proper contacts and time to get back in at that "level"
