Its unsafe to have swf's enabled on the Forums

We have enough problems with members using oversized sigs let alone checking for malicious scripts as well.

ahh ok i always wondered why they werent allowed but that makes sence.

Flashkit doesn't use them

I use them at 13 but I also have experienced scripters that know there stuff so I have never worried about them much, but yeah they can also slow a board to a crawl as well.

I see the security issues when using flash sigs. Its just kinda patheic that a bunch of idiots ruin it for everyone else
