Haha@forums being catered to the majority. If that was true it would be a lot different here. It'd be open to classic accounts, you would be allowed to post links, among many other different things. Just suck it up and realize the forums are ran the way they want it, which is reasonable, but don't expect to be catered to.
Personally I hate animations in avatar's and sigs, mostly because I'm on dial-up and people tend to like to use 2mb animations and such, and it sucks. I wouldn't mind if they had a size limit on it, though... but I think that's impossible to regulate if you use external links. Either way, I think it's done so they don't have to be moderated, just like links. Why moderate when you can just not allow it!
