If you've seen my previous two status updates on this forum (update 1) (update 2), you probably know that large changes to Brony Music Spotlight are coming. I'm making this post to both outline these changes and announce my indefinite leave from MLP Forums.

Yesterday, I discovered a decision made by the moderators and/or administrators of MLP Forums that I find to be extremely disagreeable, to the point where I can no longer bring myself to be a part of this forum community. I can't explicitly say what that moderator/administrator decision was, so don't ask.

I can't just up and leave though, because of all that I've invested here, in Brony Music Spotlight, as a means to finally give the brony music scene a legitimate way to spotlight great music within the fandom. So I slept on it, and deliberated what the future of this blog would be. I have decided, despite the little interest in the blog that currently exists, to continue running Brony Music Spotlight and move it to a more neutral ground; Tumblr.

This will of course mean that the submission process will change for musicians. Those changes will be outlined in a specific page on the Tumblr blog when I get it set up. Submissions are not closing. Until the Tumblr blog is set up, I'll still be taking submissions as PMs here on MLP Forums as outlined by the current Submission Standards and Instructions. All rejected tracks will still be reviewed same-day on weekdays by PM. All approved tracks will be held and posted to the new blog when it's set up. All current BMS tracks' entries will be moved over as well.

You can find the new Brony Music Spotlight blog at http://bronymusicspotlight.tumblr.com

I'd like to thank all of the musicians that have submitted to Brony Music Spotlight in the past, particularly Freewave and Anorax for their more direct support and advertisement, and Feld0 for advertising Brony Music Spotlight on the forums while he did.

Edit (07/13/2013): I have returned to MLP Forums, but have decided to indefinitely close Brony Music Spotlight. I am considering a more niche brony music review blog, but if I start it up, there will be a few key differences in how it's run and exactly what content can be submitted.
