Hi , this forum is a lot like another one that I dwell on
Difference is this one doesnt have avatars in the margin
Or am I wrong ?

You're right Mercury,
it uses PHPBB, which is quite popular board... should be too, it's good (and free, i think).
As for the Avatars, it's a configurable option, can be turned on or off.
I think we've started it with it off, because having all the avatars on a page does make it take longer to download a thread, also uses up more server space and since we're on a metered bandwidth setup too it would be using more of that for not such a gain.
Think we'll be moving the site to a new server soon, with more bandwidth and space. maybe it will make an appearance then :)
Anyway, that's my take on it, but Tony is that man to answer this :)
Cheers :)
