A color-filled non-animated avatar can be larger in file than a simple, 4-framed avatar. You know, when it really matters(for those on dial-up), ALL avatars and sigs slow down the forums considerably. To the point I had to disable them anyways.

Do avatars at all make a forum better? What about sigs? What about the Green Theme?

You know what else didn't help the forums? The Projects section; Blogs really haven't added much, either. Neither have Social Groups. Oh ya, the Calender doesn't add jack-squat either.

Let's get rid of it all!
