Do you write code the way that you write English?? If so...
okay, so here is SC 2.0 Phase 1:

We hope to have Phase 2 up by the end of this week.
Says my user Prayforoursinners is not available. One of you guys stole it Phase 1 is officially available. We currently consider SC 2.0 to be beta status, but the website should be functional and usable, albeit inconvenient in places (particularly the lack of a search feature). Expect a strong chance of posts and accounts on SC 2.0 beta to be wiped when it exits beta. We will put forth a strong good-faith effort to transfer existing SC1.0 user accounts and posts over to SC2.0 immediately after beta.
My thanks go out to the early donators. While a small amount thus far, the money still make a difference.
I wanted to clear up questions and concerns. We desire feedback. If you hate something in the new forum, let us know. Loudly, if you so desire! If you like something or want to see something implemented, let us know that too.
tl;dr: We're committed to building a better SC which promotes sane anonymity. We will at first try various ideas which permit unfettered Tor access. If they work, we'll stick with them. Until then, SC2.0 has no Tor restrictions.

Re: Tor restrictions - The power to change IP addresses at will can and will be abused, resulting in an unstemmable tide of service disruption. Ban or suspend a particularly annoying user, that determined user will switch to a new IP address and another user account. For this reason, many services do the same thing we've been doing: Prohibit access by Tor users. Unlike many services, we allow a small entrance - obtaining permission from Luna to enable an account registered while using Tor. We likely will retain this small entrance in SC2.0 and attempt to improve upon it. Tor itself makes public most of its exit nodes.
Regrettably, there is presently no known (to us) sane way around this limitation. The issue is the scenario (and reality) of 1 person disrupting a service for multitudes. There is an attractive aura to being the one person negatively affecting tens (or hundreds) of others, but for the tens (or hundreds) and especially for the website administrators, it's simply frustrating. I think it's safe to say that we are all intelligent enough to "get the point" when unhappiness, disgust, or rage is expressed once. We've since then added an "ignore user" feature, but determined individuals resort to switching accounts every so often. We're open to ideas which can reasonably resolve or mitigate this problem. Until and unless such a solution presents itself, Tor restrictions are definitely being added down the road.
