By that logic you might as well just install a new version of FUD in each and every virtual site. You're totally missing the point.

You've already got system avatars and user supplied avatars. This is no different than system supplied forum icons and virtual site supplied forum icons. Except that you've completely hard coded all the image references (relative or not) to make this impossible. Heck, a guy can't even setup an Apache mod_rewrite rule to intercept custom images, becuase they're all hard coded to the same images/* location.

Virtual site support means a single administrator can manage a single source of the FUD code so updates and bug fixes can become instantly available for all virtual sites. There's no way an admin can go through each and every virtual site to tweak it every time there's a change.

Virtual site support means the FUD code source and standard images can be locked down read only so virtual sites can't mess things up for others.

Virtual site support means that a virtual site user can be up and running with a default FUD setup without requiring any knowlege of PHP, MYSQL or web servers what so ever.

Just how many FUD users do you think customize their themes anyway? Beyond just getting the thing installed and working I'm betting most are just happy to have a forum and really don't have the knowlege and/or time to go mucking with the various templates. I mean look at your own forum. You've got exactly one blurb of customized html at the top and that's all that 99% of FUD installers need. Any theme can be simply customized through a personalized CSS style sheet and a few strategic include files (header, footer). There's no reason for virtual sites to have to compile themes. For that matter, I don't agree there needs to be a reason to compile FUD themes in the first place.
