Hi guys, it's been a while since I've been on here but thought it was about time I rectified that

First of all thanks for this amazing code you've done here, it's brilliant and I was working on a much simpler (inferior) version around the same time as you came up with this so thankfully for the community my very poor initial attempts were scrapped and I borrowed your code! For any of you that haven't come across my new XBMC fansite it's called www.totalxbmc.tv and the idea is to be as unbiased and fun as possible - everyone is welcome no matter what forum (if any) you frequent.

This new site is going to create an enormous amount of headaches for addon developers trying to keep to xbmc.org standards for support and anti-piracy issues. Just to test my thoughts on that, I installed 2 addons from the site and wiped my configuration. I've spent a lot of time making sure that I follow the xbmc.org repo rules so that I don't have to spend all my spare time maintaining addons and I stay in a community which is mostly legal where I reside. 99% of the serious issues I see in forums are due to non xbmc.org addons and their side effects on working addons. This site (totalxbmc.tv) has just combined the world's addon problems into one great big cluster ****.

I'm a huge advocate of sharing code, thoughts ,etc. Just don't like web programmers who lump it all (piracy, malicious code, and valid addons) into a bin for an already confused end-user to figure out and want to be given kudos for it. Fork the addons, re-brand them, call them your own - mostly importantly YOU support them. Give addon developers who don't want to support your pile of confusion the ability to opt out.
