Yes, you bring up good responses to what I am saying. As for any financial
suggestions, I just threw the $15 in as a figure. I am not saying that part
of it is anywhere concrete to getting the feature I am discussing
implemented.

Whoever decides to click a button and download a background will have that
background. From there, I see 2 possibilities.

One, that background could simply replace a default one AW has. If someone
wants to get the default back at a later time, all they would have to do is
go back to GZ and download the default. Cache problems already exist now,
and I am constantly clearing it already which active worlds themselves have
advised me to do. It hasn't caused me any problems so far and I don't see
how that would cause any major problems in the future.

Another way to deal with the download is to have about 3 total backgrounds a
person can have access to. Again, 3 is just a figure like the $15, it could
be 4 or 5 or whatever. This is how avatars are set up in any of the worlds.
You have a limited number of them to choose, and they don't get downloaded
and show up unless someone has chosen it.

I don't see why it has to be stored on AW's server. It may be stored there
now, but with "create picture" action, we can have the picture on any server
outside of AW's servers and download it there. Why can't we have a
background download in a similar fashion?
