{{short description|Demoscene file repository}} {{Multiple issues| {{primary sources|date=September 2014}} {{more citations needed|date=September 2014}} }} {{Infobox website | name = Scene.org | url = {{URL|www.scene.org}} }} {{demoscene}} '''Scene.org''' (also known as ''The International Scene Organization'') is a [[non-profit organization]], providing the currently largest [[demoscene]] file repository. It was founded in 1996 by Jaakko "Mellow-D" Manninen, though originally it existed as ''ftp.fm.org'', an FTP-server for releases from the group Five Musicians. In 1997, it re-opened as Scene.org. After the ''Hornet Archive'' closed on September 22, 1998, scene.org became the only prominent demoscene-FTP available and quickly became the host of many other releases as well.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.de-bug.de/texte/3765.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20060820063052/http://www.de-bug.de/texte/3765.html |archive-date=2006-08-20 |title=SCENE.ORG - MEKKA FÜR FREIE DIGITALE KULTUR SEIT 1996 |work=[[Debug (magazine)|De:Bug]] |issue=92 |page=32 |date=July 2005 |first=Sebastian |last=Redenz}}</ref> The Scene.org servers are hosted in [[Rotterdam]], at the local university. They measure 150-200 GB of traffic each day (as of May 2006) and host about 1.1 TB of demoscene-related data (as of June 2013).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.scene.org/faq.php |title=frequently asked questions |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20131217003404/http://www.scene.org/faq.php |archive-date=2013-12-17 }}</ref> The main server is mirrored onto various others, residing in different countries.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.scene.org/sitser.php |title=sites & services |url-status=dead |archive-url=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20090710051722/http://www.scene.org/sitser.php |archive-date=2009-07-10 }}</ref> It is currently sponsored by, among others, [[Pixar]].<ref name="sponsors">{{cite web |url=http://www.scene.org/sponsors.php |title=scene.org sponsors |url-status=dead |archive-url=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20090710043428/http://www.scene.org/sponsors.php |archive-date=2009-07-10 }}</ref> {{TOC limit|3}} ==Awards== [[File:Scene.org-award-statue.jpg|thumb|right|Scene.org Award statue]] In 2003, Scene.org established the Scene.org Awards, given annually to the creators of the best demos or intros that year.
