My question is, how would avatars add value to the site? A big part of the reason we're here is that we don't feel we need bells and whistles, we just want good discussions. We're used to recognizing people by their names.

I wouldn't be opposed to avatars necessarily, I don't think it would hurt anything, but why spend development time and screen space on something that doesn't really add any value?
