<h2>December 2022 Update:</h2>
<p>After a long lockdown approximately between 2013 - 2023, the History <strong>*is now open for new account creation and public editing*</strong>. There is a lot of content from that 10 years missing, feel free to add it! Please note that due to bots and spam, accounts younger than 4 days old are prevented from adding new pages. Please be objective and fair when adding information and feel free to correct facts or tone on existing articles.<br> Defamatory content may be edited or removed by an [[Louisville_Punk/Hardcore_History:About|Admin]].</p>
<p>For the first time in nearly a decade, the Louisville Hardcore History has been updated and is nearly ready for public editing. New anti-spam tools have been added and the software updated so hopefully this will be a long term open platform again. Some newer bands, releases, and events have already been added. There are a few small issues, such as the Related Changes page, that are under development. As soon as that's patched up, the history will be open again to the public.</p>
