Thank you, I appreciate it.

I've re-added the support for TheGamesDb back into Skyscraper using the public key with the 1000 request limit. But I would like to make sure you are ok with this. So final question: Is it ok for me to use the public key with my scraper, thus limiting my users to 1000 requests per month each? If not...

Temper has gone down. Re-reading my posts, I do understand why you would consider me hostile. I would like to apologize for that.

I am ok with that. Rest assured I won't bother you with suggestions anymore.

I have never once indicated that I thought it was ok to scrape 50000 roms a month. I am against that myself. I even implemented an entire caching system within my scraper to avoid rescraping from the sources, so it pulls in the data from the local cache instead whenever a user rescrapes the same rom...

I've decided to stop supporting your site. It will be a relief to put this behind me. I do wish you guys luck with this project, as I know how much work you've put into it. I hope for your sake that the "mirror is everything" approach works out. It is not an option for me, and with the lim...

"Interested?" "Like everyone else?" I am telling you I am not able to do so because of how Skyscraper is designed. I am not changing my core design because of one single scraping source. I support several sources and by the nature of scraping roms for EmulationStation and Attract...

Yes, I am. My app is designed to search single games, it's not designed to pull in 20 games at a time. 1 request to search for the filename, and 1 to pull in the data for the actual game. I'm even trying to guess the artwork url's right now, in order to save 1 request per game. Otherwise I'd use 3 p...

I did, and I now use the public key, but it only has a 1000 request limit which seems extremely low to me for a monthly limit. 3000 with the beta key already seemed low as it was. To clarify, I KNOW this is on a IP-basis, but 1000 for a month is still almost unusable. Do I have the option to raise t...

2.5.0 released using the new API. Currently using the public key with a 1000 monthly request limit (as my app key seems to have stopped working, which had a 3000 request limit), so be aware that 'thegamesdb' is ONLY suitable for very small scrapings. All users should update to this version following...
