Now, scene.org is hardly a decent news archive these days. It's basically just kept alive with no active development.
Scene.org's core function is to act as an archive. A very large share of all demoscene productions, ever, are hosted on scene.org and its mirrors. It's been fullfilling this service for many many years now, and I don't think it's going to stop anytime soon. It's excellent for a community to be able to rely on such an excellent file host for such a long time.
For a better accessible and searchable database of demoscene productions, it's better to go to http://pouet.net. Don't be scared away by it's, well, "impressive" look and feel, it really is the central hub of the demoscene and the design is chiefly maintained because of nostalgic reasons.
Another more detailed archive of roughly the same productions is http://demozoo.org.
