The best mission statements, I would argue, are the simple; short ones. It leaves little room for interpretation, usually packs a resonating punch, and gets the message across. Realistically, when one is browsing through a selection of communities to join, a potential applicant will only read the first few lines. It's like writing a good book. If the reader isn't hooked by the first few sentences, you lose the catch. And before I start hearing retorts like "Oh, he/she couldn't be bothered to read it so they are unfit to be part of FC." This is really the basic rules of advertising, and by extension, marketing speaking. FC is like a product to the internet, and we need to try and sell it without over-encumbering the potential applicant with a wall of text, that they might not even reach the end of before deciding whether to join or not. Just offering some two cents that hopefully more or less encourages some self-critiquing so that you can perfect this idea. I like where it's going.
