Because of the action scripting Flash leaves itself vulnerable to attacks from hackers. These hackers can run exploits on the files and in turn, they could crash the entire forum system, or break into the users acount. I can get the code for you to use on other forums though

Remember myspace is crap..and when you have something moving that looks nice among all the crap, it cathes there eye. Therefor, the animation serves its purpose. Plus, every band has some sort of flash banner or something to promote themselves.
