It goes for a lot of self-help or advice books.
I mean, Eric Ries who wrote the Lean Startup... he did found a startup to be fair, but it was IMVU. I bet he got more money and fame from the book than he did from IMVU, and I bet more aspiring entrepreneurs have read that book than have read Jeff Bezos' book (founder of Amazon), or Sam Walton's book (founder of Walmart).
I'm sure that Tim and Eric's books do have some insight and value, but it would be a far better use of your time to read books written by people who actually became wealthy and famous through the business they created, rather than reading books by people who became wealthy and famous mostly by writing books.
Assuming it's for real, and not the result of the account being taken over, I admit, I don't see the connection between the two entities - a 3D chat app, and a furry artwork site?
True, an infusion of moolah would help somewhat, but that still leaves what's commonly regarded as a fairly rickety platform underlying it, unless the plan were to be to just throw hardware at the problem.
Still, I suppose it's a moot point - I've not logged into my account there in years. =:/
(Well, this posting in the IMVU forums, apparently by a staffer, appears to confirm the claim)

Yeah, as both /u/Raptros and /u/GoingToTheOcean have pointed out, 'Neer might be lying to his bosses about the state of affairs at FA.
If anyone would like to know who is on the IMVU Board of Directors, here is a list.
IMVU's message to their users about the merge [and calls FA, and I quote, "a community centered around sketching and animations".
It's almost like they have no idea what they've gotten themselves into: http://www.imvu.com/catalog/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpbb2&file=viewtopic.php&p=11283354
My SO works with visual kei bands quite a bit so have been to tokyo a few times for both bidness and pleasure. I'm, white she's black. As you would expect in any highly homogenous culture there's quite a bit of ignorance and racism. For example, you can go the a baraku labu (black love) where the style is literally based around dressing 'like a black person'. there are similar stores for dressing 'latino' and white. (You've probably seen the 'white' gyaru style in it's most extreme (ganguro) form. This is 'white' face.
The racism extends, of course, to more than just little cultural stereotypes. They're just indicators that there is a severe problem. And it's weird and neat to see.
The only people you should be asking assistance from is iMVU support.
To my knowledge it is impossible to permanently delete items from an account unless you are IMVU staff (And they will often, but not always, send you a message when they do).
It IS possible, however, to Hide items from the imvu client. To show these items, go to your web inventory here, locate the hidden items, and click "Show".
I am not sure if Imvu support will be able to recover your friends list, but it's worth a shot I guess. It might also help to post on your Interest/Profile card that you were hacked and request that your old friends contact you/send you friend requests again.
IMVU Terms Of Service strictly prohibit this activity.

You can read the full TOS inside the below link.
For this reason I have decided to remove this post since we do not support any illegal activity on IMVU.
It's possible that you were used by a bot, yes. Deleting an account is not exactly simple. First, in your account, you should change your password (as well as your email password). http://www.imvu.com/catalog/web_myaccount.php If you want the account disabled, you can submit a support ticket from the Help tab at the top of the page.
I'm sorry that I'm just seeing this.

I spoke with someone in support to get the link since I'm on Windows myself. I was assured it would contain the older Classic version.
I hope this link helps you out.
In that case they should of gave you a warning first like they do other members, I wonder if it has something to do with your join date or something, I'm not sure if anything I say would be helpful but you should bring that up, I went ahead to copy and paste what they told me

And I do feel like there is something faulty in their system too, when my friend told me about the email they sent her it was a little crazy to me because I've been earning credits on there for years but after looking up related issues on their forums it seems to be happening to a few others as well.
You sound like you have never read the fine print, ever in your life.
Heres section 4 from it
And here is the peer review HOw to, straight from imvu

See? Even IMVU says wine is for grown ups. If I see a product with wine, and mark it for alcohol. I am right. period.
You have to be an iMVU creator to have the ability to create items. There are a few tutorials iMVU put out as well. I don't personally know how effective they are, but it's something to start with at least.
We are not imvu we are just a community that loves to share information about imvu. For support on your account being hacked please read the following...

> cancelled my subscriptions and retracted 2 of the payments with a claim saying I hadn't received what I had ordered.
I had an issue like this with another web service. Paypal is VERY good at getting the Buyer's money back (Some would say unfairly good) but if you are unable to get a hold of anyone, going through paypal will be your best bet. It might cause issues in the future if you ever try to use paypal to perform transactions with them again, however.
Have you tried the "Self-Service Support" tickets? [link 2]
EDIT: Nevermind, just saw that you obviously tried what I suggested (My bad). Other than going through PayPal, perhaps try again later, or make a forum post about it on imvu's forums?
I know of a better top but I cant find it.

I will keep looking for it. It's one of the best items I own.
In future if you want suits then look at the users Timberland, GoodLife, Blazer and Tuxedo. I think one of them has been deleted but you may still be able to buy their stuff. I'm not sure. I'll add to the list as I go.
Nonono you helped! I googled Worlds and found it. IMVU (warning, opens in a pop-up).
Hi! Make sure you are on the official IMVU page and not some other page.
This is the proper link. You can PM me if you have further issues with this. :-)
Alternatively try this direct link.
Please follow these steps...
- go to your "account settings" on the IMVU website.
- where it says "All panels" is set to Everyone.
Once these changes are made please reply to this comment and I will approve this post if it works fine.
Have a wonderful day /u/ModestGoddess! Be safe.
Edit : Changes were made before I commented. Sorry for not checking. Really nice profile image.
It was because it got so much bad press from the userbase and was very buggy, here(1) is a link to a thread that IMVU posted on the day it was removed.

IMVU a pretty cool place. you can be a furry, a human, anything really. its also free, though buying VIP gives you more benefits. you can also buy AP stuff, which is adult orientated (i.e. nude avatars and sexual positions)
The Immortal This game absolutely destroyed my childhood, I couldn't believe the gore and horrifying noises while my siblings played. All this from the man who went on to make IMVU. Sigh.
