Size as in number of pixels does not matter so much, but size as in KB does, because it'd be nice if people on slow connections could enjoy the forums as much as everyone else.
Paul, don't leave! Surely this issue can be sorted out.
There's gotta be limits, we just need to sort out what is reasonable. Large avatars (even if they're "small" pics, say 400x400) would get in the way of content and put outsiders off. Ditto, signatures that go on for ever and take for ever to load.
Best thing would be to get feedback from people on dialup. (and not just frequent flyers like Ken, who probably has this whole site cached on his PC).
