UPDATE: Just checked and subscene is now down for me
So… what’re your guys favorite alternatives?
The ones I’m aware of but haven’t used much are:
UPDATE 2: needed subs for an ep of a moderately popular crime procedural show that aired 4 days ago on a regular tv channel, so updated to note experience with them. tested in librewolf on vpn:
Happy to hear complaints on any to avoid too.
edit: for any curious why, I found this is from an older thread from before the final closing announcement:

OK going through the comments seems like something fishy is going on. lots of people willing to take it over and no answer to why it has to be shut down
Kowalski, analysis
Could be a legal issue
If it was me I’d be posting whatever they sent me to shut down
well, also it was not long ago with a short-time frame…
If it all turns out to be a prank / main account was hacked / etc, great … but could see someone who expects a lot of negative feedback or even somene who have a lot going on offline not really bothering to look at commentss
plus we all knw silent legal / state presure is a thing… rarbg, kat, and many others had people willing to take over but ithink they got legal pressure to stop.
my plan is just have a few glasses of boubron and relax. we are hydra and all that lol
Yeah I agree but why hide it if legal pressure unless they are threatening him but still just seems weird or like some sort of power move.
Also there is a dump of all the sub’s on there from 2 months ago linked in the comments there so atleast we can grab that and redistribute without having to restart
HAIL HYDRA!
Looks like I was wrong…
this is from an older thread before the final closing announcement:
OK so its a power move IMO because he could easily sell it to someone else or accept the many offers of covering it for him.
A comment in that thread said subdl has all subscene uploads now as well so looks like thatll be the place
