This is something we have talked about for a while, and @eviltrout will implement very soon. We have an enterprise customer that needs it.

Basically, a **default first post template** that can apply at the category level. Every time you create a new topic in that category, the first post will be pre-filled with the topic template text that you specified via Edit Category, as part of the category properties.
