Organization, mostly. These files go there, those files go over there, that sort of thing.

As far as I know, nothing says they have to be. As a matter of fact, if the page source specified an image file without the path to the images folder, the image would not show, i.e. "picture.jpg" instead of "images/picture.jpg."

And some images on a site aren't even kept on the site, they are referenced externally. This is what happens when you post an image you hosted on Photobucket or Imageshack. GTPlanet doesn't have that image file, the user's browser goes and gets it when it's needed.

Pretty much what wfooshee said. Its all for organisation. I keep images in a folder, scripts in another folder, and so on. If I'm using alot of images in a site, it helps to have sub-folders in the image folder.

If they're in the one folder you can also stop them coming up in image searches from search engines much easier.
