Something neutral, preferably amusing but not because they're crude or depressing (ie. about lack of lives and how bad this place is because really, it doesn't have to be if you don't let it) would be best. I don't see why people give a crap if they understand the reference or not....

Whoa guys, news flash, sometimes you don't watch/read/play/enjoy things someone else does. A shock, I know. It's just totally not necessary to have references in things like this; you don't need to be elite and have your little fandom-wide inside jokes that only a million people around the world understand, and especially not as the welcome message for a chat about something totally different. wow you sure make us sound egotistical for wanting to have messages that aren't dull

cause it's somehow impossible to make interesting messages that /aren't/ references?
