When I first began the Brawl Custom Stage Collection, I thought it would make to be an awesome feature for the podcast. What I didn't realize is how quickly it would gain popularity and how much time it would take to manage it.
Actually, it's far too much for one person to manage as much as I have been. BUT I have NEVER given up on anything before! Anything that I start, I will go through with and finish 'till the very end!
And so, it is for the reason that I am proudly happy to announce that I am promoting Mr. Zach Joyner to administrator of GamersCast's Brawl Custom Stage Collection!
With a two-man army, I think that we can help to make this work!
However, I will still continue to play a role in the stage collection by managing the BrawlStages YouTube Channel and by typing stage descriptions and strategies.
However, Zach (better known as Spades) has kindly offered to do the rest. And so, he will be posting new stage submissions here and will have limited FTP access to main site's server so that stages will be posted faster than ever. He will also be accepting the BrawlStages e-mail address (I'll still be doing that as well).
It's a whole new beginning for our stage collection.
However, due to an attempted security breach, I have that my web hosting account has been locked. And so, the Stage Collection will be on hold until I am able to unlock the account and create an FTP username for Spades.
I am sorry for the continued delay in the management of the Brawl Stage Collection. And I sincerely thank all of you for your continued patience and support of the project. Don't worry, the wait will be over soon and will definitely be worth it, as there are now even more tricks up my sleve that I have yet to tell you all about! So, stay tuned.

Undergoing Renovations....
UPDATE: I have fixed the problem with the capture device (fixed it enough, at least...) and so the Brawl Custom Stage Collection will be re-opening again! The Stage Collection will re-open on Sunday May 25, 2008. Sorry for the delay!
Many people have been asking me, wondering if I "gave up" on the Custom Stage Collection. Thankfully, the answer is NO.
However, many of you have expressed great concern from the lack of updates on this page. So, I suppose I should explain myself.
During this current period of time, you may or may not have noticed certain issues with the capture device I have been using to put up videos. Problems with device include a 1-second lag, which makes games and stages look harder than they actually are in the final video. And also, from a lack of 16:9 wide-screen support, which I have been trying to capture in for all of my videos. Another problem is a rare occurrence of the audio and video going out of sync, though this is fortunately only an issue with the longer videos, and so the gameplay videos here have mostly been unaffected by this.
And so that I do not further impair the quality of the content on the Custom Stage Collection, I have stopped capturing videos until the problem is fixed. Right now, I am very close to resolving the issue, so updates will soon continue again as normal.
Also, to make-up for the time lost during the wait, I have found a few people who are exceptionally skilled at making stages, who will be making more just for the collection. This way, we can improve upon the already phenomenal quality of the stages here.
I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this wait may have caused, but I also thank you for your continued patience and support of the site. So, even during this period I will still be accepting any stages you wish to send in. If you want to submit your stage to the Brawl Custom Stage Collection, click here.
