You basically just said "These avatars would distract me just like signatures do. PS, I blocked signatures easily and can also do so with animated avatars. But I still don't think anyone should have the option to see them if they would like." That is just plain bitter of you. If you have an option, everyone else should too.

Disabling avatars and sigs isn't unique to these forums -- I do it automatically on nearly every forum I sign up for.
Anyways, the point of my post was that I have to go the extra mile to make my forum experience better. Because you want a flashy/distracting avatar or sig, I can't have
any avatars or sigs at all. If you could settle for expressing your bursting creativity in a single frame, we can all enjoy pretty avatars and entertaining sigs together.
Of course, I'm being philosophical here. I probably wouldn't enable avatars and sigs either way, which of course means you can go ahead and just forget you ever read this post. No need to quote me, either.
