Why doesn't Anandtech Forums make their forums more like Protege5.com? A fourm with active HTML for posts and signature

The above statement baffles me.

Probably more like 1/500th

Guess ferengi have to be good with math

I've seen so many boards where that got abused. And no, there is no way to limit how many pics someone has in their sigs. Not unless the mod takes it out himself.

It would also suck up a lot of unnecessary amount of bandwidth too.

I'd just say that it's also due to abuse of the system. If they were to allow html people could and probably would post nude photos, goatcx photos etc. There are tons of trolls who are more than willing to do this kinds of things just because they are trolls. I'd rather have it like this where it is work safe than have html and have nude photos popping up while you're viewing it from work etc.

I never thought about that, some stupid ass troll could easily slip in some pr0n into their sig.

Yet another reason the system is great as is.
