Well, I don't understand why it has to be fiddled with. I strongly feel that two large blocks of tabled text such as we have now, preceded by technical mumbo-jumbo, are not more "inviting" than the light, airy feel we had with the previous introduction text. I thought we had finally reached a Good Place with the Main Page when I slimmed down your unnecessary explanations. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 04:04, 8 October 2008 (CEST) | Well, I don't understand why it has to be fiddled with.

:I plead guilty on the mumbo-jumbo: I thought of it as intriguing. It's a reference to Chung's datapad, the icon of which (OniGalore's old icon) is shown in the upper-right corner, and leads people straight to {{C|1}}. Somehow I've always wanted the main page to be somewhat fancy, with the welcome message set in some kind of atmosphere: in this case, Oni's cyberpunk in general and data terminals in particular. Maybe a screenshot of Konoko reading our welcome message from Chung's datapad would be more immersive. Or maybe it would suck. | |||
:As for my unnecessary explanations, I hoped they would encourage scripters from OCF to contribute to BSL documentation. If we think this isn't going to happen, then you can remove the whole NOTE ON THE "GO" FEATURE block (to the general public it may look like an insult to intelligence, yes). Keep the table, though, as it solves the overlap issue permanently; if you want airiness, you can have something like this (note I trimmed the first block significantly). | |||
