So here are the rules. You can use HTML, but keep it light. I can and will ban you very easily from this thread if you attempt anything too subversive, so be good. Remember this is the first thing anyone will see. Feel free to copy over the better (and still relevant) messages from the old welcome message thread.
Once there are a couple of replies here I'll edit the front page to take these instead of the ones in the old thead.
Edit: Here are the old thread's rules; they all still apply:
1. Post as many as you like -- you can edit and delete them as you please (if you're registered).
2. No BBCode -- it won't work. Same goes for smileys.
3. HTML code will work on the site itself, but will not appear in the post. Please do not use much -- just <B>, <A>, <BR> and the like. Maybe a small image. It's a paragraph you're writing, not a webpage.
4. Since this is the first page people see, anyone posting anything totally inappropriate (such as porn, or goatse, for example) will be banned.
5. DO NOT POST DISCUSSION IN THIS THREAD because it will appear as a welcome message and I will delete it.
6. Test your code out in an HTML file before submitting it if there's anything fancy in there. If you're not sure how to do this, paste it into Notepad, save as *.htm and load that file in your preferred browser.
7. Also check you've closed all your tags. It will mess up the rest of the page if you haven't.
8. Don't try to mess up the site because I'll ban you and delete your message, very possibly before anyone sees it on the site anyway.
9. Don't put adverts in it, either.
10. Oh, and don't hotlink to images. I don't want my frontpage goatse'd

Welcome aboard the 9.37 Apathy Sketchpad service to Hull, calling at Huddersfield, Mordor, Scarborough, Hell, Middlesbrough, Shazanity Central and Hull. A drinks trolley service will be making its way down the train, if we can be bothered (This is Apathy Sketchpad after all). Our next station stop is Huddersfield

Hello. Thank you for reading. Welcome to Apathy Sketchpad. This website is sponsored by SmaxoGlithKline. They've asked us to say a few words about their new drug, Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin.<br><br>
Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br>
It's our brand-new wonderdrug <br>we think you'll find enticing<br>
Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br><br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle<br> Um-diddle-aye<br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle<br> Um-diddle-aye<br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle <br>Um-diddle-aye<br><br>
The BNF has twenty thousand different drugs to take<br>
So we thought "What could we produce to give you all a break?"<br>
A drug that could treat anything from leprosy to SARS,<br>
And you can give it in the mouth, I.V. or up the arse<br><br>
It's Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br>
Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br>
It can cure the common cold <br>and being struck by lightning<br>
Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br><br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle <br>Um-diddle-aye<br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle <br>Um-diddle-aye<br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle <br>Um-diddle-aye<br><br>
We tested it on animals and none of them survived<br>
But that's okay cause when we wrote the paper up we lied<br>
It's first choice for MI, MF and even ME<br>
and COPD, HIV, PE and DVT<br><br>
Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br>
Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br>
It reverses impotence and makes you good at fighting<br>
Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br><br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle Um-diddle-aye<br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle Um-diddle-aye<br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle Um-diddle-aye<br><br>
There are some minor side-effects and some are not that rare<br>
Like nausea and vomiting and losing all your hair<br>
And heart attacks, becoming gay, and growing extra breasts,<br>
But it's fucking cheap and hey, this is the NHS.<br><br>
Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br>
Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br>
There are cures for everything from AIDS to pubic lice in<br>
Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br><br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle Um-diddle-aye<br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle Um-diddle-aye<br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle Um-diddle-aye<br><br>
Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br>
We make it from the cerebellar cortex of a bison<br>
After that it undergoes some polygenic splicin'<br>
Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br><br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle <br>Um-diddle-aye
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle <br>Um-diddle-aye
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle Um-diddle-aye<br><br>
Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br>
It makes you smart as Einstein and as muscular as Tyson<br>
It brings and end to all that pharmacology revising<br>
Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br><br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle Um-diddle-aye<br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle Um-diddle-aye<br>
Um-diddle-iddle-iddle Um-diddle-aye<br><br>
Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin<br>
We sell lots in Japan cause it's the antidote to ricin<br>
The Minister of Health, we hear, will shortly be advising<br><br>
<b><i>"Take Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin!"</b></i>

We have no feelings either way about you being here, but your smell does raise some questions.
