Major Subscene Shutdown Announcement Shocked Subtitle Community
Whoa guys, have you heard the huge news about Subscene? Apparently our favorite site to get subtitles for movies and TV shows is shutting down!
I could hardly believe it when I read the announcement posted on the Subscene forums. One of the admins called that_thing said they're closing up shop in just 24 hours! I mean usually there's some warning before something like this happens, right?
Reading into it more, it turns out their plan to transfer ownership fell through unfortunately. So they really have no choice but to close down for good. Can you imagine how all the long-time Subscene users must feel losing their huge libraries of subtitles?
No surprise the comments section absolutely blew up after this. People were understandably pissed about losing all their hard work over the years. Others were frantically asking how they can download everything before the site disappears. Someone even suggested trying to crowdfund keeping Subscene going through Patreon or something.
But sadly that_thing hasn't provided any more updates since the initial post. So all the subtitle fans are left scratching their heads about what this means for their collections going forward.
Thankfully there are still a few alternatives like OpenSubtitles, Addic7ed and more that can hopefully fill the void. Fingers crossed one of them can truly take Subscene's place in the community!
