Thanks for clarifying, cobaltdream. The answer in that case is "yes."

As stated in the article... there are a number of reasons why we have gone down this road. This is not a new or arbitrary decision; it's one that's been in discussion and planning for months.

Let me reiterate the reasons again:
Consistency and a professional look across the site
Feature Art Chart images in the email newsletter
Reduce the "In your face"-ness of some of the thumbnails which can be very off-putting.

Contrary to what some people seem to believe, our reasons DON'T include eeeeeevil plots to eradicate nudity, insaaaane plots to drive away all of our members (what for?) or daaaastardly plans to, oh I dunno, force everyone to post pictures of Barney the purple dinosaur.
