+What is the import folder for?
+
+Most people don't know the real use of the import folder. After you do, you will wonder 
+what you ever did without it.
+
+The main thing it does, is provide a way for you to change your config settings without
+having to update the files every time you update your server. You store your changes, and 
+the rest are updated with eA (usually though SVN).
+
+How does this work?
+
+Well, you place only the settings you have changed in the import files. I'll use 
+battle_athena.conf and battle_conf.txt for my example. Everytime you update you conf 
+folder, using the normal method, you have to go and edit the configs again. So, you have to
+redo your rates, redo your ip addresses, you have to redo it all. Well, not with the import
+system.
+
+Say you want to change your base experience rate from the default (100)to 7x (700). Well 
+then you would place this in your import/battle_conf.txt:
+
+// Rate at which exp. is given. (Note 2)
+base_exp_rate: 700
+
+You don't need the comment (duh, it's a commnet), but I usually leave them for clarity 
+sake.
+
+So, now this new setting take place over the setting in battle_athena.conf. You just keep 
+this file everytime you update, and your setting will always be there. Neat, isn't it?
+
+So, yeah, that's what the import folder is for. I hope to see a lot more people use it, to 
+make my life as a managed server runer better.
