::::Yes, I much prefer Martonimos' version there. But even that, at about half the size of the current one, is pretty big... we have an awful lot of policies that need explaining, and I don't think fitting them all into a single post like that is really feasible. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 07:45, 12 November 2008 (UTC) | ::::Yes, I much prefer Martonimos' version there.

:::::Yeah, you're right... the problem is that BP is so different from any other wiki. LTs, the é, the userspace crisis... trying to figure out the most important things to tell people is not an easy task. But if you only include a giant list of links, I think they're about as likely to follow those as they are to read a wall of text in the first place. --[[User:Martonimos|<font color="#E00000">Martonimos</font>]] 08:44, 12 November 2008 (UTC) | :::::Yeah, you're right... the problem is that BP is so different from any other wiki.

::::::I know I probably don't have much say in it, but I have a feeling 80% of new users wont read the welcome thing, even if it's all links, even if it becomes a small block of text, even if it stays as a big block of text. I'm not saying we should get rid of it, just...we should make sure the new users will read it, so they don't make any stupid mistakes. Well, that's just what I think anyway.
