Crap like that just slows down the board and makes it more likely to crash when there is a lot of traffic.
Also, people attaching images into messages is a nightmare. Just link to a free image hosting site from within the message.
Keep the complexity and data traffic on someone else's servers.
And don't you people understand how much more work it is to mod a board when you have categories and all that other crap? What's to stop the trolls from going to the "serious" board and posting useless crap? Nothing. It's just more work for the mods. More work for the mods means more expenses, which means more ads. Do we really want more ads?
Some of you are like the people that want "free" healthcare. If you want improvements to the site, think about how much they would benefit the site, and how much they would cost to implement? Think beyond your noses with the changes you are proposing.
The message board is the reason this website is so popular. Don't change it except to improve performance...less crashing, better search.
