     Welcome to HSMusic, a fan-made Homestuck music wiki!
-    <a href="https://www.homestuck.com/">Homestuck</a> has always been an incredible creative collaboration, and especially beloved by the community and critical in that collaboration is the webcomic and world's humongous soundtrack, comprising well over 500 tracks by dozens of musicians and artists. This wiki aims to be an interesting and useful resource for anyone interested in that music, as well as an archive for all things related.
-    Pertaining to the history of this site: it was originally made as a remake of Homestuck's official <a href="https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/">Bandcamp</a>, which saw its content particularly reduced on <a href="https://twitter.com/hamesatron/status/1187842783618297856">10/25/19</a>. This site aims to be a more reliable resource and reference: track art (conspicuously missing from the Bandcamp) is archived here, solo albums (among other missing albums, like [[album:squiddles]]) are all indexed in the one place, and URLs will always stay consistent. And of course, also included are links for listening on Bandcamp and other services.
-    Nowadays, HSMusic also operates as a center for all sorts of fan music, a sort-of home where avid listeners can explore, discover, and support artists and albums within the sphere around Homestuck music. We're always looking to share new music here, so if there's anything you'd like to see, please feel encouraged to [[static:feedback|drop a message]]!

+    <a href="https://www.homestuck.com/">Homestuck</a> has always been an incredible creative collaboration, and especially beloved by the community—not to mention a crucial part of that collaboration—is Homestuck's humongous soundtrack, comprising well over 500 diverse tracks by dozens of musicians and artists. This wiki aims to be an interesting and useful resource for anyone interested in that music, as well as an archive and up-to-date reference for all things related.
+    On the history of this site: it was originally created  as a remake of Homestuck's official <a href="https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/">Bandcamp</a>, which saw its content particularly restructured on 25 October 2019. HSMusic Wiki aims to be a longer-lasting resource and reference: track art is archived for good, solo albums (and beyond!) are all catalogued in one place, and URLs will always stay consistent. And of course, nearly every track and album has links for listening on Bandcamp and other services.
+    Nowadays, HSMusic also operates as a center for all sorts of fan music, a starting point where avid listeners can explore, discover, and support artists and albums within the sphere around Homestuck music. We're always looking to share new music here, so if there's anything you'd like to see, please feel encouraged to [[static:feedback|drop a line]]! We also have an active [[static:discord|Discord community]] where a wide variety of folk discuss Homestuck music and work together to bring updates, new albums, and more to the HSMusic website - anyone is welcome to drop by and say hello!

-    - All comments on the site: I appreciate all feedback a lot! People have shared a ton of ideas and suggestions with me, and I <i>cannot</i> emphasize enough how motivating it is to share a project with like-minded folx interested in making it better with you.
-    <i>Feature &amp; Contribution Acknowledgements</i>
-    - <b>Thank you,</b> GiovanH, for linking me to a resource for higher quality cover art, and bringing to my attention the fact that clicking a cover art on Bandcamp to zoom in will often reveal a higher quality image.
-    - cosmogonicalAuthor, for a variety of feature requests and comments! In particular: improving way the track list on author pages is sorted; expanding the introduction; expanding the introduction message to the website; and linking bonus art for Homestuck Vol. 5 - plus a few other good suggestions I haven't gotten to yet. Thanks!
-    - Monckat, for suggesting the album Strife 2 before I'd begun adding fandom-created albums and unofficial releases to this wiki, and for working with an emailer to reupload the original cover art for [[track:the-thirteenth-hour]].
-    - Kidpen, for suggesting the "Flashes that feature this track" feature.
-    - an emailer, for suggesting the "Random track" feature.
-    - foreverFlumoxed, for pointing out that [[flash:338]] contains reference to [[JOHN DO THE WINDY THING]] (this reminded me to add all the unreleased Flash tracks to the Unreleased Tracks album!), for recommending the restructure to [[album:unreleased-tracks]], and for going to the massive effort of checking every track page and pointing out a bunch of missing cover arts and title typos!
-    - Makin, for various initial help in data collection (especially commentary) and lifting the site off the ground by pinning it to the top of the /r/homestuck subreddit for a while, and for linking me the independent release of <a href="https://jamesdever.bandcamp.com/album/sburb">Sburb</a>.
-    - an emailer, for sending a crop of the YT thumbnail art for [[After the Sun]] (plus the SoundCloud link for that track), for reporting the "Random" buttons being broken, and for linking a bunch of resources and various official uploads of tracks and albums.
-    - Niklink, for contributing immensely to the existing lyrics on the wiki and transcribing plenty of new ones that had been totally missed before, as well as for help with archiving the early official album releases ([[album:homestuck-vol-1]] through [[album:homestuck-vol-4]]), and suggesting and contributing to the various album wallpapers across the site.
-    - nuclear333, for a variety of valuable feedback and discussion, as well as for spearheading projects like the <a href="https://twitter.com/nueclear333/status/1336407226492178432">unofficial Pesterquest OST album &amp; metadata</a>.
-    - Bambosh, for creating <a href="https://bambosh.github.io/unofficial-homestuck-collection/">The Unofficial Homestuck Collection</a> and integrating data from HSMusic so seamlessly into it, and for sharing a number of handy data fixes and comments.
-    - Nameless Rumia for providing an initial transcription of the [[track:audio-commentary-featuring-robert-j-lake-nick-smalley-luke-gfd-benjamins-and-erik-jit-scheele|40+ MINUTE LONG Jailbreak audio commentary]].
-    - Thanks for pointing out typos, errors in reference lists, and out of date details: cookiefonster, foreverFlummoxed, an emailer, Bambosh, Niklink, Leo, Cello, and Sgeo.
-    <i>Supporter &amp; Patron Thank-yous</i>
-    <b>Thank you</b> to all present and past [[static:donate|supporters]] of the wiki, including:
-    - Nights, enchantingHunter, leo homestuck, and Gradis.
+    - All comments on the site: We appreciate all feedback immeasurably! People have shared a ton of ideas and suggestions, and we can't emphasize enough how incredible it is to share a project with like-minded folk interested in improving it with you.
+    - Each of the countless contributions, both from the awesome and dedicated community members of our Discord bringing album additions, reviewing existing data and content, localizing the site to languages beyond English, and more; and from everyone who has dropped an email or DM with feedback, lyrics, caught data errors, and the like: Thank you! HSMusic wouldn't be a fraction of what it is without everyone who has worked together to bring it here.
