I too dont like that the forums sont have ranks and avatar
I think this needs to be considered atleast

Some rank images must be installed by default and user(i.e admin)
can choose the one to b displayed
just like the templates. thereare many available and user can install any template at any time

Bizhat hosting is for websites only and not for forum
php and MYSQL is not given bcoz users may then install vBulletin which is the best

Also i'm afraid that database backup is not possible
I'll confirm it from admin
wait till then
