I'm tempted to remove the thread/post icons. Seeing http://forums.finalgear.com/images/icons/icon4.gif next to half the threads is kinda annoying. images/smilies/wacko.gif

Any objections? Hmm.

Down with them. They're especially annoying in the hands of a thread whore/troll like Flynn was right before his ban.

Sometimes they can be useful such as if you need quick replies or something, but it generally just gets abused by people who come to rant and talk about Top Gear when it's on air.

Get rid of them if you want.

No objections... But what about when the thread needs urgent attention? Any remedy to that if the icons are removed?

Then there's still the IRC chat.

Nobody uses them. Throw them in the bin!

All in favor? Yay.

I tend to find them useful, but I bet as most others here; I wouldn't miss 'em.

I don't think I'd ever have a reason to use them. Maybe make them and admin/mod only feature so you can denote things like readme threads and important announcements?

And turns out I can make them permissions based, so admins/mods can still use them.
