Is it currently possible to customise the ‘about’ page? In particular I’d like to edit the text highlighted below.

I can’t find anyway to edit it via the ‘admin → customise → text’ tool.

It would also be useful to be able to customise other elements of the page. For example, hiding the stats / admin / moderator sections if need be.

Cheers

I realise that’s where the text comes from.

Am I able to customise this section further though? Add additional text etc.
