Thread:Talk:LiquidThreads/Redesign/Avatars are unacceptable/reply (6)

So I know this is an old topic but I couldn't help but chime in. The term "graphic distraction" is an interesting one. I think if you ask most "usual" web surfers, they would state that they'd rather see a web page with both images and text rather than a text-heavy page with no images. Where one says "content-rich," I think, man, I really have to read all that? Images help give your eyes something different to look at and connect the text you are reading with something visual, making the connections stronger in your mind. Images make a page fun to look at.
