well, you gotta figure, each avatar is about 50K in size give or take (mostly take) and they have to load each time someone views your post... in a community this large... yeah.

now, if they're hosted offsite (not sure if they're hosted on the tfp server or not) the difference is minute, but if they're hosted here then this server processes them and that's a MEGA bandwidth usage.
