Hosting avatars or any other images can result in bad troubles since people could upload something "bad".
The problem is that the forum admins are responsible for files on the server meaning if people would upload sick stuff the admins will get in trouble - same for me as the host.
I hosted a small board once and because of one user 180 ! servers were shut down due investigation - it's simply not worth it :)
Another thing that darker didnt mention is that the website hosts of the board only allocate them so much space on their servers for stuff like this. If they host OUR stuff on here too, then that leaves less space for thread expansion. Besides, it's not hard to find a free webhost online, your ISP prolly provides ya one.
