Question 
Is it possible to change the welcome message people see when they join your server? If so, how?

yup, just change the motd.txt
The only thing it that when you update, the motd (message of the day) gets re-set back to normal... so back up your motd of choice Smile

Also, you need to re-start your server for the message to be active Smile

You can actually set a motdfile in the startup command line. I think its:

Code:
+motdfile blah.txt

This way your motd won't be overwritten after every update.
