At the dawn of the pony fandom, there were a handful of songs that were almost universally regarded as some of the best music that the Brony fandom ever produced. Among them, were the likes of Sunshine and Celery Stalks, and Flutterwonder by the artist known as PinkiePieSwear. For over half a decade, these songs and many others have stood as wonderful bits of nostalgia for the old days of the fandom, and a goalpost of the quality of what new pony music should aspire to.
Today, it was discovered by some on /mlp/ that those songs are gone from view. PinkiePieSwear has scrubbed the channel clean of all content.
According to some users, the videos were set to private last week. Others claim they've been since been deleted entirely. The reasons are unknown, some speculate he wants to distance himself from MLP like so many others have done in recent years.
Several archivists have re-uploaded the songs to youtube, but they won't have the original viewcounts or comments from days gone by.
We hope that he returns the videos to live view and that they aren't gone permanently. It would be a shame to lose another piece of our history so close to the end of the ride.
