Will we ever be able to just upload avatars?

For years avatars on this forum have had to be linked from other websites; and back in the day the reasoning given was that it was to save on bandwidth. But is that really still a problem? Nearly every forum allows you to just upload your profile picture, including forums way smaller than this one. And Kazenshuu only allows 100 x 100 avatars anyway, so the bandwidth demand couldn't possibly be that great.

Yeah, I'd be willing to revisit it. The main reason was for security purposes, but my concerns for that have diminished with our firewall.
