Volpeon (Bonus) :wvrnFlat: (@volpi)

@kura I know, I added a note about this which isn't visible in the screenshots:

I exaggerated the welcome message, but this is exactly what it feels like to me. It draws undue attention before I even decided if I want to be part of the community. It doesn’t help that server admins can disable this message, because most won’t and I can’t know beforehand if a server is afflicted by this feature or not.

Forums and websites generally didn’t cause me such problems. Sure, some are also closed to the public, but a lot of them are at least semi-public. And even if I joined blindly, people would only see a subtle “Newest member: Volpeon” at the bottom of the page at most.
