Well you don't have to buy them. You can upload images of your own and earn credits that way. I think that keeps the community growing so you don't have just leachers. While I don't agree with charging for the images simply to try and make some cash, I can understand using the money to pay for hosting. I can't even imagine how much hosting for sites like meligrove and tvdb are. Anyway, since there is an alternative to paying I don't really see a problem with it. As an xbmc/plex user I think it would be great if jayhawk put all his "htpc" images on meligrove so they could be scraped and support THIS community. I know that any images I create from content on R1DB will be going on meligrove. Just my 2 cents.

If meligrove wants to rsync that directory --I'd be open to that, but honestly between my day job, maintaining that site, and my personal life, it's difficult to find time to keep another site updated with things r1db has.

I don't know who owns meligrove, but they're welcome to contact me. I'll happily extend the directories of the high res poster art and backdrops.

travisbell is the meligrove.com admin I believe - it'd be fantastic if you guys collaborated and had your images available for XBMC scraping as well :0)

I'm a bit ouf step with what's going on, but it seems like there's a few places to get backdrops from now. It's quite confusing..Why isn't there just one site for everything? There's no option to upoad anything on meligrove and it's hard to get any original images to work with...I've asked _djh a couple of times where he gets pics from and he hasn't said anything.

There is: http://www.meligrove.com/upload it's the link on the bottom that says "Contribute." Easy to miss because it's at the bottom of the page and doesn't really stand out or anything.

Make sure the filename is the movie's IMDB id as that's the only way it'll be uploaded.
