Would it help to disable avatars?

I know the usual answer to this question, but wanted to ask anyway..

 

Would it help if you (admin) disabled avatars (to help the load on the server)? I know a lot of us just have our pics uploaded and not linked from another site. Or would you rather we just take them down ourselves for now if we want too? Is it worth us or you taking them down for the server load or not?

no, that wouldn't help too much. most of the avatars get cached on your PC anyway so the load difference would be minimal.

That's what I thought about the sigs as well, but before I went to take mine out, I saw they were disabled.

 

Thanks!
