If I remember The Daily Kos wrote their own Scoop replacement in Python and Django or something. But at one time Scoop was very popular. For example I have a 128M RAM Linux 3.X VPS with Apache2 and run Wordpress on it with MySQL and always seem to get out of RAM errors with the MySQL database. Scoop uses Linux 2.X and Apache1 and an old version of Perl but can run on a 64M Linux 2.X Apache1 VPS and never have out of RAM errors. For some strange reason this older software Scoop can be used on cheaper VPS hosts, which is why some people still want to use it. I've tried Scoop replacements like Wordpress and PHPBB and others, and on a 128M VPS I always get out of RAM errors with MySQL and then I get "Cannot connect to Database" on my webpages and I am forced to log into SSH and reboot the VPS to fix it. My host won't increase the RAM for me to 256M even if I pay more, and I am stuck with 128M and my out of RAM errors. I knew a few people who ported Scoop to Apache2 and modern Perl, one was named Ron Paul and ran NetMoneyChat but someone had hacked his server and then he was trolled and then he killed himself. There was a few others who did that but none of them ever released the code. My interest in Scoop is that it has a low RAM profile, all of the modern CMS software seem to give me out of RAM errors with MySQL with only 128M of RAm on my VPS. But I cannot run Scoop because it is designed for older systems. I might just end up writing my own CMS in PHP and make a Scoop or even Hacker News clone and hope it can run in 128M of RAM without out of memory errors.
