Hi everyone,
A little about me...
- I live in Melbourne Australia (region 4 land).
- I am a video producer (weddings, music videos, TV commercials, etc.). I also film all the sci-fi conventions in Melbourne. I've met a lot of interesting & famous people because of that.
- I'm married and have 2 young children (sorry ladies).
I'm excited to be part of this site. I was a member of a similar site awhile ago, but it got closed down. I'm glad I found this site now. I love the whole idea of replacing some of the ugly original covers. Another reason I like using custom covers is that I can put together several DVD's into one case. For example, all 3 of the X-Men movies can go in a triple case that uses the same shelf space as a single DVD case. I have many situations like that, and I have saved a lot of shelf space by using triple cases, quad cases, and even more. I recently found a blank 6-disc case that is the same dimensions as a normal single disc case. And it only costs 80c here in Melbourne!
I just hope this site stays open for a long time.

I've got a question about my membership...
I joined up about a week ago using the 12 month paid subscription method. My original plan was to be a contributor and get a membership for free. But I needed to download a cover quickly, and I also wanted to "chip-in" for the cost of running a site like this. I still want to be a contributor as well. I can do custom artwork, and also do very good scan work (cleanups, logo replacement, etc).
I noticed that the 12 month paid membership automatically renews itself after it expires. While I don't mind paying this first time, I would like to maintain my ongoing membership by being a contributor. Is this tricky to do since I joined through the 12 month paid membership option?
