I assume it's to conserve bandwidth/storage space :)

On the one had avatars are great, you can identify people easier.

On the other hand people are flooding signatures with them instead (though I think this can be turned off if need be).

Personally I'd like to see it Avatars on (with conditions, not above 25kb and 25x25 or similar) and no signature pictures. Its clean, and still easy to ID posters (ie OCAU.com).

Well your most welcome to PM Gavin who runs the joint. Though unless it can be set so avatars are hosted off site it could be a no. The site is only run of a home connection so constantly uploading avatars is a huge toll if saved locally.
