Meh, even if you removed the ability to post PHP scripts or whatever as images, you can still rig some servers up to execute various files with image extensions as scripts. There's no way to remove dynamic images in signatures short of removing the ability to post images in your signature.
As far as wasting your bandwidth goes... sorry to sound rude, but suck it up. I have a shitty 56k connection at home (never connect faster then 26.4kbps) and I have no real problem with browsing these forums. Sure, topics take a bit longer to load, but oh well... that's the price of a slow internet connection. But anyway, for some reason I don't think you have a 56k connection, so this probably doesn't apply to you.
But yes, I agree, signature images that show your IP are really kinda stupid heh. No point whatsoever. But it's your signature, do whatever you want with it... if people like TBBQ (since you brought up his sig) want to put an image like that in their signature, then so be it. Now, if the image has an absolutely huge filesize, then yes, tell one of the admins and we'll definitely get rid of that image.
But unless wildcard says any differently, as it is his site and he has the last say, there's no problem with posting images in signatures, and the ability to do so won't be removed. But we'll discuss the dynamic signature image posting ability.
