I know I saw this somewhere but couldn't find it. Basically a welcome block on forum's homepage that gives some instructions and tells people to sign up.

example
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/

I can probably help... just a template conditional. I'll edit my post with instructions.

Edit: Okay here you go...

Locate in your FORUMHOME template:

HTML Code:

<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

Add underneath that:

HTML Code:

    <!-- guest welcome message -->
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==1">
<thead>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat" colspan="5">Welcome to $vboptions[bbtitle].</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="alt1" colspan="5">
		 <b><div class="smallfont">Put whatever Guest information you'd like in here.</div></b>
		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr align="center">
	  <td class="tfoot">&nbsp;</td>
	</tr>
</thead></if>
	<!-- / guest welcome message -->

That's it! It's really basic, so you can customize it as you wish.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
