No, we never gave much thought into adding a horizontal break line since it could be easily replicated using a couple of different keys on a keyboard:

Ah, dashes and underscores.
Right!
But Batleth, another thing about using those is in the default editor for posts, if you fill an entire line in the "edit post" box, it shows up as incomplete when someone hits "Preview Post", and doesn't fill the whole line you wanted the dashes and underscores to be in.
Ex. I will put a dash line:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under this line is where the dash key input ended because the text box automatically shifted to this line. However, at the time of the post, this line isn't long enough to fill the line inside of the thread that displays this post.
It's confusing to explain but hopefully you'll get it.
And yes, I understand you guys thought of security when disabling html. There are so many tags someone could use and take control of a thread...
I believe javascript would work too, if html wasn't blocked... too much control then.
