Hi guys,

You may have noticed that I haven't been around or made any news posts the past few days. That's because I have bad news and good news. The bad news first:

Shoutmouth, in its current form, is ceasing to exist. We'll be taking down the forums, and everything will be changing. This came as a sad surprise to me. I really love this site, especially now that all you guys have signed up and helped make it so awesome. So I'm sorry to bring such bad news.

That said, here's the good news. Because I refuse to give up on the dream [writing about emo/punk/etc. music] and couldn't stand the idea of taking the community apart, I made a new site for you guys. It's called Emo, Punk, and Beyond (that's emopunkandbeyond.com). I'll still be making news posts over there, and there's a kick-ass forum set up as well. And it's a really pretty purple site, because I like making purple sites. :)

Thanks for everything you did for this site. I hope to see you all on Emo, Punk, and Beyond, and we'll just carry on our party over there. The only thing that will change on my end is I will be updating in the evenings/nights because this has ceased to be my day job, and I'll be doing other work during the day.

If you guys have any questions, leave them on the first post over there, or e-mail me at emopunkandbeyond@gmail.com.
