I may be wrong, but I think you guys are misinterpreting what FC99 said about briefing photos.
In my opinion, I think that what he meant was that briefing photos would be tied to the 'Skin download' setting in your Network Setup tab (see screenshot).
So, if the server/host did not have that setting checked, the briefing photos would not appear. Also, if the server allowed custom skins but a player had that setting unchecked, they would not see any briefing photos.
Anyway, that's what I think FC99 meant. I don't think he meant that briefing photos would negatively affect network traffic.
