My opinions..: (not that anyone cares but SO WHAT)

I personally prefer no avatars..This because all the avatars of about 700 members will be stored on the webserver which could slow down the forums. Of course you can disable them for yourself in your own user control panel, but it's in my opinion just wasting webspace.

Custom ranks..Yeah, I say the'd enable them, too. It won't really eat DB or webspace and it's fun. It brings us some more varation (??). And I don't see how to spam with custom ranks..Even by changing your rank every half an hour it isn't really annoying..And ofcourse this 'JCF member''s getting bored after such a long time..

But let's just wait for the admins what they decide..
