I think it goes for a more: "We're a happy, friendly server that likes to have fun." Approach.
I think I find that welcoming. :)

How is it not welcoming? It touches on all the aspects of the module - Although can do with a Sean Asherel comment: "How dare you not wear house robes! CRUCIO!"

A front page full of inside jokes and references is somehow welcoming to new people? I don't get it. The rest of the site is great, and very helpful. I was just confused when I saw the image. I don't understand...

I absolutely love it! I think it's very welcoming.

Well, it's cheery in the idea that it has a comic book theme/feeling. I think that's cheery.

What other options are there to make it cheerful? Just curious what you had in mind?

Guys... I watched Calan spend hours working on this. And JB put in ... I have no idea how much time... but a TON... just allow it to be as is so they can catch their breath. Please?

Discussion is welcomed. We'll probably ban you. But chat away! No, seriously, feedback is great. We can easily change the bubbles and update the jokes over time, too.

The idea, though, is to show that we're all about having fun. We don't have to take ourselves too seriously. So don't feel intimidated—come on in and make some fun with us in the World of Harry Potter.

If you're really lucky, or unlucky, you'll show up on the front page!

Thank you, JB! :-) I think that funny things that aren't so much "inside jokes" might be better. And thanks for clarifying. AND thanks for all the hard work you do.
