hm, I think they COULD be cached if implemented the right way. But they probably are generally NOT implemented the right way.
I'm not really sure you can have a rotating image use the browser cache in this context. The only way to do it would be to have the browser make a request for the image and then have the server spit back the actual image path (like /images/sig34.jpg), but since the only way to trick phpbb into reading an image rotator is to put a placeholder path into

Okay, but if it's looking for aroduc.gif, it's going to see that hey, it's different now, and re-download the image. So that's actually the wrong way to go about doing it, if a right way is even possible.
Edit: Though, it does seem that those are redirecting to my image host, so it could be doing it right. I don't know, and I definitely don't feel like testing it. Let's just say that sig rotators are okay as long as you don't fill them with really large images, like it has been.

Quotin' dis.
Rotating sigs should be round up and shot.
Unless they're NSFW, in which case they should be send to me first.
