To my mind, userboxes jumped the shark when the Userbox page got plastered with "Save our userbox, comment on this RFC/RFAr" boxes. If the userbox project is more invested in its Wikipolitics than in helping the project or addressing concerns with itself, it should be destroyed with haste.

The scope for abuse of these userboxes has been amply demostrated. They fulfil no function useful to the encyclopedia that isn't done equally well by simply stating one's affiliations on one's user page. They must die. _______________________________________________
Not to mention the use of "fair use" images in them. Or the whole RFC/Kelly Martin. Including that special template that a RFC against Kelly Martin has been filed.
This whole userbox thing seems to be getting out of hand.
