I have a question for you guys, since Im sure a bunch of you are into customization...
I have a friend who used to run a Background guide & lending program. Basically, in his gallery he had all the backgrounds (not NC) and he would lend them out if you wanted to try it on and see how it looks. Then he also had a petpage, it showed the small item image of the background (80x80 px). Then a medium size one (from a userlookup, 150x150), then a larger one, like on a petlookup (i dunno how big they are, but it could be like 300ish or 400ish). I found it SO useful so it the BIG images of backgrounds. It's so hard to see the details of the small images .
So anyways, my friend got cg'd/iced/not getting account back, so I was going to take over the page. Would you guys find it useful? It's a pain to get all the images (he used an invisible pet, but a background on it, went to pet lookup and took a screenshot). But I have time to waste, and if people would use it, then why not?
I'd love to also add NC backgrounds, but I'd need help from people who have the retired ones... and they'd need an invisible pet. Those will be the hardest to get, but over time, I think I could get them all . And I could start with screenshots of those BGs with a pet, but ideally, they would all end up with an invisible pet so you can see the whole background clearly .
Oh and if there is a place where you can see backgrounds enlarged already that I dont know about, I'd love a link *lol*
So... thoughts? Comments? Waste of time? OMG you love it and will use it?

I probably wouldn't use it myself, I like to experiment anyway, and make it my mission to stuff my closet with as many wearables and backgrounds as possible. I'm sure other people would find it useful though. I might be able to help out with some screenies for you though, although I am lacking an invisible pet *unsure* Anyhow let me know, I have them two super expensive backgrounds (that faerie balcony one) and the winter path one (names escape me), so just let me know if you need.

Someone just offered me a stuck invisible pet, so thats great :D Ill probably try to get people who have spaces, to adopt and try on NC retired bgs that I dont have. And for the NP ones, I'll just ask around to borrow with collat :D
Those 2 you mentioned are from that game codes right? I have 1, but not the snowy one, so I'll bug you for it :D

I know Ann (amsmani) and eeuk (eeukqicmaj) collect a lot of nc stuff, so they may have retired backgrounds that you need.
I think it's a good idea, again though, I wouldn't use them. I don't really care for dressing my pets, I have one with clothes and it's because I put her in a spring parade my guild put off, and the other one has clothes because of a pb. But obviously with wearables being the best shop spot out there right now, I think there will be interest.

Not sure what it's from, I think so though, some leapfrog codes or something maybe :P Anyhow yeah I can lend you no problem. As for nc backgrounds, I think I have a couple of retired ones, but four draiks on my main who rarely move :P I guess I could move one one month though if you still don't have the few I do have by then.
