Baz, probably to reduce bandwidth. Putting image size restrictions in place lowers the "weight" of each page we click on, making things load faster and taking up less bandwidth.

This in turn generally means a lower bill from the internet provider that clubcobra are using to host this site. It's not unlike the download quota on our residential broadband accounts, except you need to multiply the amount of traffic by thousands.
