The vBulletin forum software was first introduced in the year 2000, when a significant percentage of the internet's population was still using dial-up modems and loading too much information per page would cause problems.
In 2000, websites were designed to be no wider than 640 pixels and display no more than 256 colours because a lot of people were still using machines that couldn't do better than that.
Times change and too many people get stuck living with rules that were made for a reason many years ago without knowing why those rules were put in place, or why they no longer need to be followed.
