Thoughts of disabling GIFs as avatars / sigs.
NekoJonez:
Okay... I keep them alive for now... If anyone has a complaint or something to add... I leave this open, for now.

There should be an option for that but ... you always could go host it somewhere else but it still doesn't take away the size problem.

Just stop using Internet explorer

Pardon me ... But I use the dev versions of Chrome.

I don't think disabling gifs is needed.
Every user can disable sigs themself. Also loading images shouldn't really be a problem because images should go to the browser cache and are also read from there later. Only drawing the image by the browser might slow page load down.
Noob:
I say make it an option for users
