I have an old welcome message on my forum.

Is there a way to copy/paste the ‘text-only’ version of the meta.discourse welcome message for use on my own forum?

Here it is:

`https://meta.discourse.org/raw/1`

You can get the raw text of any topic that way.

Thnx a bunch, that is really helpful! 😃  
Hm, on second inspection, that wasn’t what I meant. I was referring to the welcome email new users receive…  
So maybe the topic can be reopened again?

Ok, got the source. It is here:  
`https://meta.discourse.org/raw/36774`

Will paste that in my own discourse installation.
