 Maybe I'm missing some detail here.  Perhaps for situations where the main
 site is accessible to all this might be some kind of work around.  It does
 not seem like a process that covers all use cases.

 >Plus IIRC that is still filterable so we're back to where we usually are
 with "What's the intent of YOUR network?"

 You mention that something is filterable, so maybe all hope is not lost.
 What exactly was the 'that' in your sentence referring to?

 > I want everyone to know they're on a network. Not everyone does :)

 What's this network thing?  I thought we had main sites and sub sites? ;)

 > That is the big question I have no answers for, to be honest. I don't
 know how we can determine intent without a lot more options in Multisite
 :(

 Seems easy to me.  A user (new or old, doesn't matter) is subscribed to a
 sub site.  The activation process carries the meta data and knows what
 sub-site they are subscribed to.  After they activate the welcome message
 should direct them to that sub-site.  Directing to the main site in order
 to redirect seems more complicated than required, and in my use case it is
 broken.
