Welcome Text

I was wondering if the following is good for the welcome text on my forums:

Quote:
Welcome everyone to Speculation Central!

This forum serves as a central meeting place for people to speculate about upcoming movies, video games, gadgets, and a whole array of other categories! And, not only can you talk about upcoming things, but you can also discuss current movies, TV shows, etc.

This way, the speculations, from the plausible to the just plain bizarre, can be compiled in one place. And once the product is released, members can see if their ideas actually became part of the product.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM a staff member or post in the Suggestions & Feeback forum, and someone will answer it as soon as possible.

Have fun and get speculating!

Speculation Central Staff
Suggestions and comments are welcome.

Does it only show to the guests or members just arriving? I think it is well planned out, it's just that it would get annoying being on the homepage everytime you visit. Auto-PM's work too.

I don't really like this part

Something about it just doesn't sound very good.

Well, right nowI just have it as a topic in the Announcements forum, because I've been looking for a mod to have the text be displayed to guests, but I can't find one (I'm using SMF by the way).

And Moelman, I reread it myself and it sounds odd to me too, so I'm going to reword that part.
