Scene.org is run by around 15 volunteers from around the world and funded by sponsors . In addition to providing the worldwide mirrored file server with the same name, Scene.org operates a web forum and an IRC network. The target group of Scene.org includes not only the demo scene itself, but also those interested in getting an insight into this subculture .

history

In 1996 Jaakko "Mellow-D" Manninen started the FTP server ftp.fm.org to provide publications by the Five Musicians group . In 1997 the name changed to today's Scene.org . After the Hornet Archive - the largest demo scene archive to date - closed on September 22, 1998, Scene.org became the only known public demo scene FTP server and quickly assumed its current importance.
