[nodnods] I mean, I follow CFUD, and CFUD's had at least one post max out the number of comments you can have on a post. And all of those comments had icons, and probably some of them had images too. I can see how it'd be inconvenient to try and see all of them unfolded at once! ...But the vast majority of LJ doesn't hit ~30K comments on a post ever, and I don't see how ~30K default icons loading simultaneously is that much easier on servers than comments too. Unless it's only easier because fewer people use the search functions now. >_>
