Dear Listeners,

It is with a great sadness I must confirm the end of otaSCOTIA. I'm sure you were all aware of this (considering our last show was in October 2009).

Over the past year, many of us have put a lot of effort and personal time into bringing like-minded people interesting and popular eastern music. We have done this regardless of listener count. We do it because we enjoy sharing the kind of music we love and we know you guys love listening to it too.

Unfortunatelly the founder, Stewart (Sephikun) has lost interest. Not unreasonable in itself as the person funding the operation but I'm sure that the situation could have been handled more delicately. As someone promoting and working on this project, I am dissapointed to have it end in such a manner.

I could rant on, but it would be unfair.

What I would like to do, is thank anyone who has put effort into the growth of otaSCOTIA over the past several months. Conceptually, it was a great idea and I'm sorry that so many people who would have promoted this kind of community have been let down. Particular thanks go out to Paul Cosgrove for coding our wordpress theme, completely of his own volution. Thanks also to Chloe for sticking it out with me to the bitter end.

I like to think that at some point in the future, I could start something similar from scratch but it's something I'll have to put a lot of thought into. What I can promise is that if I do, I'll do it properlly.

So long and goodnight,

Bryoz
