Simple reason is bandwidth. This site is on my home ADSL connection and it maxes it out as it is. I'm patiently waiting for ADSL2 though which means I'll be able to allow avatar pics :-)

why dont you have a redirect protocol, were you can have a avatar which does NOT run off this website (were WARSUG does not host the image) rather a 3rd party hoster like imageshack, therefor when the avatar loads it is not straining your adsl connection rather, imageshacks servers.

PHPBB2 (the forum software) doesn't support that, plus pages wll take ages to load as everyone's avatars are downloaded from all over the place.

If you really want a pic, put it in your signature :-)
