The IMG tags slow page loading more than the reposting of a thread. Especially all of the smilies that everyone is using. The popular ones are linked to all the time and that bogs down the plauder-smilies server which causes a delay in loading the pic. That is why the plauder server crashed because everyone that was using the smilies had like 5-10 of them in each post.
