- Animated signatures.
Ability to add animated avatars and even images (regardless of size) in signatures was removed so not sure how that would pass.
I don't think images would be a big deal and could be one of the benefits of the highest donator tier. I think they were originally removed along with gifs for being too flashy/distracting or something, but signature designs have evolved over the years and many of them can be pretty flashy so I don't think there would be much difference between images and bbcodes really. I think people found a loophole on the avatars as well as some of them are animated.
wasnt one reason animated gifs in avatars were remove was because of the cosby hack? or was that something else.

I don't think it was anything to do with animated avatars specifically, but uploading any avatar, though looking at this post below by theymos it seems it wasn't the reason for the hack anyway:
It was initially suspected by many that the attack was done by exploiting a flaw in SMF which allows you to upload any file to the user avatars directory, and then using a misconfiguration in nginx to execute this file as a PHP script. However, this attack method seems impossible if PHP's security.limit_extensions is set.
Unless that's a different hack.
Footing the current price of the market the 10BTC is not even a million dollars and speaking of some Bitcoin millionaire lurking around the forum or once make a contribution in the forum at some point, I believe there are some Bitcoin millionaires among the wall observer poster cause they seems to be serious investors.
Why would anybody feel the need to donate to this forum? I am happy for those that want to donate but right now 1 BTC = $56,000 so no matter how many BTC somebody has what would be their logic for donating to this forum or any other forum? What would they achieve and what would the forum treasurers do with those funds? There was a time when donations were asked for and donations maybe were needed but when I look at benefits of donating versus not donating - there is not much reason for anybody to donate.
Well, why do people donate to things like crowdfunding? Often there's rewards and benefits and people are suggesting donating will come with the benefits of higher ranks like Senior and Hero etc. Theymos has said in the past that the forum doesn't need any more money, but even if the forum doesn't need the money it could be given to charity or something.
