I've been a member of sites where sigs, gifs and custom avatars were kind of like an incentive system based on tenure or reputation and it really cut down on loading time. I know this would cause some tension, but it would help with the problem as it relates to really new members. I'm not trying to be a communist here or anything, just a thought.
Ideas?
