Scene.org

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.

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.

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).

[4] In 2003, Scene.org established the Scene.org Awards, given annually to the creators of the best demos or intros that year.

The winners (except for the Public's Choice category) were selected by a jury, consisting of acclaimed sceners from all around the globe.
