Letting avatars be clickable and link somewhere would just open up more possible bugs to be exploited, avatars used to be animated until they got too annoying, you can look at VODs avatar and see its animated.
And accidentally clicking on an avatar and it taking you offsite to who know where isn’t really that great either

When used for promoting a website, it is usually combined with a clickable signature (here the Avatar would serve as a the logo it the service).
Yeah or it'll be in their personal message (seen below the Avatar).
It's just a different desugn feature the forum Software doesn't implement. I doubt it was created for ads exactly in the original smf code...
Avatar is a personalized image of the member, it is not typically used for ads and a member could use an image they like or to portray a message, reason why it is not clickable, same way personal text isn't.

Good day everyone, it just came to my noticed that the avatar members of the forum wear either for their personal pleasure or as a form of advertisment isn't clickable. I noticed this after I tried clicking a user avatar that caught my attention but it wasn't clickable. I had to use the web to look for the project but immediately lots interest as it was looking impossible to find them as a result of disturbing ads. Also I noticed some users have different ads as their signature and avatar, now what benefits is the avatar to the companies buying the space if their ad aren't clickable, how do they monitor the success rate of their ad. Forgive me for my ignorance but is there some reason why this feature isn't allowed on the forum?.
