You're absolutely correct. Of course this mod doesn't add any code, it merely creates messages and their corresponding settings. Could an article explain that? You bet.

You may notice that this version was posted a couple years back right after the release of 4.0 and that there's a number of versions for older vBulletin installs. After having the welcome header system out there for over 7 years [mod was launched in the vB 2.0 days] people asked for it to continue even with the advent of notices so here it was ported over.

As the introduction and install file states, this is just intended to get people started with some ideas of marketing messages. I wish everyone would create their own but that's not the case and for those who want a jump start, this makes it very easy. If that's not you then by no means should you use it.
