*Developer Update*
I am currently updating my product pages in IMVU's Catalog. I do not have an estimate for when they will be finished and caught up - but I'll drop a line here so that everyone knows. To those of you who own any of my sticker products - I have hid their product pages and they will continue to remain hidden. Thank you for your business. - LSF

Dearest IMVU,
When I first discovered you, it was love at first sight. The more I explored what you offered me, the more I came to love you. As time passed however, you presented a different side. A side that was disrespectful, and very abusive to me and others. I tolerated your behavior, and your attacks upon me - only because I loved you, and the future that you offered me. It seems however that the more I turned the other cheek, dismissed your insults, and made excuses for your immature and childish behavior - the more you abused me. There always seems to be something around the corner, and I never know what to expect. On one hand you assure me that you care about me and you only want to do right by me.. on the other hand, you turn around and break your promises and abuse me even more than before. Every apology you make seems to mean nothing as you push me into the corner and hurt me more. I was committed to the future we shared. I was loyal first and foremost to you, and I gave you everything I had. Today I find myself alone, cold, and miserable.. I am hurt, bruised, battered, and seething with anger and disappointment. A part of me still loves you and wishes for you to get better - but the logical side of me tells me I can expect only more abuse at your hands. As much as it pains me I need to find a better future - without you. I hope you change and I hope you improve. I hope you have a happy story to fulfill, but I must for my own sanity and happiness move on without you. Before I pack up and continue on to a better life, maybe even a Second Life.. I want to remind you of what lead up to this moment - most of it occurring within the last year or so.

One of the things I loved about you was what you offered me. You gave me a chance to express my creativity, and at the same time gain income. For a long time, things were good - and we both prospered from my hard work. Out of no where, full of doomsday and rhetoric you came at me. You spoke of economic disaster and you begged me to help you work it out. I tried, and I remained hopeful even though I knew something was particularly wrong. Of all that I could do, nothing was good enough. Instead you thanked me for my hard work - and then issued forth a solution that only served to hurt me. You forced me to accept payment for my work with paltry coins.. coins that were futilely useless to me. They meant nothing to me and lacked any kind of value to replace what I was losing. Still yet.. I loved you and trusted you.. I stood strong and marched on....
Great Castration
My freedom of expression.. my freedom as an adult. You forced me down and treated me as a child. You took away control of my creativity and chastised me for my desire to express. At first I was in shock.. then I shook myself and I told myself that it was just one type of expression.. I could live without it. Had I known what would come later.. I never would have listened. I would have cried out and fought harder to keep my freedoms, my expressions, and my maturity. How foolish I was.. how naive I was to believe that it was only my maturity you would take. Had I only known....
Apology/Refund
You wooed me back, and you held me close apologizing for what you put me through. I believed you and turned to you to put things right. You did.. and for once I was happy that the faith I put into you was well founded. It wasn't long before you proved me a fool again.. and made me forget that you ever apologized for your actions....
APC
You told me to give you another chance. You told me to have faith and give you time to make it up to me. You gave me a new way to communicate with you... I found a sliver of light in the dark days. I found hope. You took my hope and you dashed it against the rough boulders below. You threw away everything you said, and you never listened to what I said. You didn't follow through and carry out what you claimed you would - instead you stood back laughing as I foolishly accepted things would get better. Now, even now - this foolish lie that I accepted haunts me in a new incarnation. I can feel its breath on my neck and I know that it can still fool me. I know it can still serve only your whims and designs.
Virtual Goods Content Policy
I waited.. and I waited. You told me that you finally understood. You told me that a change was coming and it would satisfy me. You said that things would be better. Finally the day came and I was floored. My heart hit the floor.. your promises turned to ash in my stomach. I saw your change, and I watched as you smiled and twisted that change only to serve your selfish need to live through me. I watched and listened as your promise truth sang a hideous song of what would come.. a song that gave me nightmares and cold chills. Still yet... I loved you and I hoped....
Flagging of Catalog Products
I contributed, and I tried. I did what you asked of me - and I worked hours a day trying to please you. I spent countless hours searching and combing. I found everything you said was wrong, and I began fixing it. I did what you requested of me and I was proud of myself for living up to your expectations. I was proud of you for finally making something right. Imagine the shock and the horror I felt when you shoved me to my knees and railed against me. Imagine the deep sadness that wracked me as you punished me for doing what it was you told me to do. I was alone and confused, wondering just what it was I had done so wrong. Did I misunderstand your instructions? Did I not pay close enough attention to your demands? What did I do wrong? Today I realize that what I did wrong was doing what you said I should do in the first place. Had I known then what I know now - I would have saved myself the pain and suffering at your hands.
Mass Censorship of the AP Forums
What you did... was something I never thought possible. I never thought that you would stop listening. I knew you could ignore what I said, and I knew that you would only act when it served you. I had grown to accept these simple truths. What I never expected however was to be silenced... to be cold, alone, and unheard. I never thought it possible to be banished from your presence for anything - let alone for being honest with you. How could I have ever accept that? Did you think that you had worn me down enough that I could accept everything and anything? Did you think that I wouldn't turn to another? Am I a fool for it... or are you? Time will tell, but I know that what you did was a blessing. It was a relief and even pleasurable to be dismissed from your presence. It gave me room to breathe, and it gave me room to think. More importantly, it gave me what I needed to seek out something better for myself and others.
Reseller Fee
I think back.. I think back to the first time you robbed me of my hard work. I still have your coins, and I chuckled ruefully as I shook them in my hand. I couldn't help but smile when I saw you repeat yourself. Doomsday and economic disaster. You need more help now from me... you are singing your sweet lullaby once more. I know your game and I know you better than before. I know that this sweetly sick little song of yours will play on into eternity if I continue to listen and give into you. Am I still a fool? Will I give into you again? Will I appease you and have a little more hope that you will do right by me? Perhaps all the hope is dead and the fool is gone. Perhaps no one is listening to you anymore.
If all of that was not enough.. if all of the abuse and disrespect of the year hadn't been enough to convince me... something else has. I've suffered at your hands - indifference,bullying, threats, banishment, false promises, and lack of action. Make no mistake, there is a lot more that I'm not saying, many more things that you have done to me and even a few things I know you're thinking about doing. On the horizon I see more and more abuse coming with more issues. Throughout the last year, I've looked closely into you during these episodes and I've discovered many more issues that you cannot seem to admit to yourself or to me. I fear that those issues that you deny will explode into even more abuse as the days past. It is perhaps that fact, more so then the past abuse, that drives me away and makes me seek out comfort somewhere else. As I close the door and walk away... I hope that you think about everything I leave you - and I hope you find others that will embrace you while you change. If that is never to become a reality, then I hope that you fall before you can harm anyone else. Regardless, you will never harm me again no matter what you do because I won't be home when you get here. Goodbye.
P.S. You will find in the future - your world will be a lot more happier if you stop shooting yourself in the foot, and stop abusing those that love you the most. On that same note, if you continue to give into the demands of those who hold your favor, those that do not care about the future and what it holds - but only care about the profit they can make now and what they gain from you now - you will find yourself as you left me time and time again. Cold, Miserable, and Alone.

Minors
Please do not add me or leave a message unless it is a help inquiry. All Help Inquiry's shall be sent in forms of public homepage messages. I will not respond to ANY private messages from Minors.Thank you for your understanding.
Spammers
Do not send chain messages, or spam to me. I don't enjoy it and I find it to be rude - no matter how cute, warming, or heartfelt they are. Chain Letters violate the IMVU TOS, so don't send them to me. I will either delete the message, report you, or block you. Depending upon my mood I may do all three. Do not even consider making the mistake of spamming my page.
Beggars
Credit Beggars be warned - I will report you, ignore you, and ban you. I am poor, white, and greedy. The credits I do make from product sells ( as I do not purchase credits on IMVU anymore ) on IMVU, I sell. Don't ask me for credits, don't ask me for gifts - I no longer use IMVU and I won't be going out of my way to purchase gifts for people - that simply puts more profits in the hands of a company that doesn't deserve it. Ultimately, it is in your BEST INTEREST not to violate the TOS by harassing me for credits and/or items.
Home Page Griefers
This homepage will never have inappropriate content on it. There is nothing here that violates the IMVU TOS or the Virtual Goods Content Policy. If you find something on my page that offends you, close my page and do not return. Its simply that easy.
Thank You,

To put to rest some uninformed comments made by those who wish to speak on assumptions rather than fact...
There exists an outside community - at the moment, a forum that has separated itself from the IMVU Forums. The reason for that separation was the need for discussions without dictatorship, and censorship as has been encountered within the IMVU Forums. Many people have suffered at the hands of that censorship, and have been banned - temporarily or permanently. I, myself have been banned for the term of 6 months ( due to expire sometime around may ) because I had the audacity to stand up and speak my mind - in a fashion that was not found to be acceptable to people who feel everyone should tiptoe on glass and try not to offend " sensibilities ". Those of you who know me are probably smiling at the very idea of that concept and my own well known behavior. I am however but one of many. There are many many people taking a stand in the IMVU Forum, and outside of it to ensure that customers on IMVU are treated with respect, dignity, and fairness. When that's not possible, these same people fight outside of IMVU for your right to be treated as you should be treated here on this service.
At the same time, some of these people also fight to improve IMVU and how it does business, even if that means taking a loss in one area to make a point and show IMVU where it is falling short of its own policies, behaviors, and corporate decisions. Many who belong to this group have been fighting for a year now - every since IMVU decided to dictate what it meant to be an adult - and removed content that they felt was " too " adult for adults using their service. That act later became labeled as the " Great Castration ".. and among other things it was one of the actions that lead to the stripping of adult dignity on this service. That war and its many battles wage on even now in the IMVU Forums without any sign of letting up in the near future.
The group in question is know as the CCI - or the Concerned Citizens of IMVU ( At the current time, this may change in the future ). It has been up and operational since October of 2007. It is a group that operates outside of IMVU's jurisdiction and open to any IMVU users that are 18 years of age and older ( Users Age and User Names are confirmed by their IMVU Home Pages ).. however no teenagers are allowed to join for many reasons. Anyone who meets these minimal requirements need only to visit the site and create an account.
One misconception is that the CCI is out to destroy IMVU. This filthy little assumption was made and stated by people who would have everyone believe that things are just peachy on IMVU. These same people are often allowed to troll, run amok in the IMVU Forums, and do pretty much whatever they please without any kind of repercussions ( Though Staff claims otherwise ). These same people are very often currying favor from IMVU and other elitist members that have shown time and time again that they only care about the profit they can make on IMVU - and not the best interests of everyone else. The CCI is completely against this, and stands up at every available opportunity to set things right. As normal in today's society, those who take a stand usually end up taking tomatoes to the face for doing so. That is something we happily endure as we work towards a better IMVU.
I am a Staff Member of the CCI, and I ask that anyone who has any doubts about the CCI to take the time to visit and check it out. Decide for yourself if the assumptions or the truth stand out to your own eyes. I will state for the record however, that should you choose to join the CCI - that you may get " warnings " from others.. people seeking to keep you from discovering the real truth of the asinine behaviors on this site. People have been censored, persecuted, and treated unfairly - especially those that are a part of the CCI. We consider that an honor - it means that we're a force to be reckoned with.. a force that scares the living hell out of the Powers That Be. We will continue to be exactly that well into the future - and we gladly welcome those of you who choose to make a Stand as well.
Thank You,

My Interests
To IMVU:
My Home Page is full of derogatory statements regarding your behavior, your mistreatment of adults and users on your site, and within your forums. I will, as always stand in defiance of any corporation that ignores the best interests of its users. A number of your employees and volunteer forces have went out of their way to abuse users. My page reflects my thoughts, opinions, and feelings about this. If you choose to delete my account and cannot justify it against the TOS ( Don't forget that I know your policies and the TOS better than the majority of your Staff - as I've proven time and time again in the past. ) - I will gleefully sue your ass. Do not make your own reputation worse by continuing to harass users who have put money into your system.
Yours Truly,
LordSoulFireP.S. This home page does not constitute " disruption " of the IMVU site, nor am I guilty of Defaming your company - as Defamation requires statements herein to be false - and they are anything but and can be proven as truth in the United States Court of Law. Furthermore, my statement regarding legal ramifications against the company upon the unvalidated deletion of my account does not construe a threat - merely a formal notice of future action should such activity occur. As you can see, I am well within my rights, and I will activetly put those rights to use.. and I will do so quite legally without fear of legal repercussions from you. If for a moment you actually listen to your legal department, they can assure that I am quite correct in my statements. Heed their advice - just as you do when you claim that you're not able to actively moderate the Product Catalog because then you'd be legally responsible for the content found within ( They're wrong of course, you're legally responsible for it already because you host the content, and you actively remove content for violation of your own Virtual Goods Content Policy - which proves that you are legally culpable for the aforementioned content otherwise you wouldn't bother with the Policy, or the removal of the content. ). This large paragraph has been provided to you.. just in case you were considering ways to delete my account for taking a Stand against your company.
To those of you who have added me on IMVU - I no longer use the chat system, nor do I intend to. I have moved on to using the Second Life system. If you wish to join me there - simply contact me for more information on how to do so.
Thank You,
LordSoulFire
Thank you for taking the time to visit my IMVU Home Page. Regrettably ( Due to IMVU's unprofessional behavior ), I am no longer actively using this system. If you are interested in contacting me for more information on the system I am using - leave a me a message and I will respond. While you're at it, you may want to consider checking out my current affiliation banners.
Thank You,
LordSoulFire
Please do not purchase me any items for use on IMVU as I am no longer using the chat system. If you are feeling generous and wanting to gift me with anything, gift me with your presence on Second Life because THAT is worth more than anything IMVU has to offer me. If you wish to do that, please contact me for help and more information.
Thank You,
LordSoulFire
If you log in between March 6th and March 13th, you will get your very own robo-bunny. Now, this robotic rabbit may seem like any other cuddly accessory, but the superheroes have been hunting down these robo-rabbits all month on IMVU. See what makes these pesky rabbits so evil by joining the Villainous Robo-Rabbits and Mad Scientists as they takeover IMVU.
Thank you for your visit. I enjoy seeing all my visitors. Feel free to stop by anytime. I often change my homepage. Also feel freeto leave a message I do like reading them. Take care and god bless. BTW I went to look at your products and they weren't there. ~D~
"Kiss me you fool". Muah. Felt like leaving you a message since I have stopped in a couple of times and left ya wondering what I was doing here. Page still looks good. It's even arranged so it doesn't overlap on my view. Yay! Lol. Shadows still as awesome as ever. He was starving though! Everyone, including you, needs to feed him and play with him more often. :P Anyways, back to that kiss ;). Love ya *hugs*
Thank you so much for replying to my little question. I have been ignored so much lately it's just very nice to have someone actually answer a freggin question. :) You have a great weekend, and thank you so much for the Ideal. ;)
I stopped in to take a peek at your tiger and check something out, but *looks around* I see you locked him up. Caged him. Stricken him from the pleasures of others precious company. Lol. Well, I guess another time I can scope things out. I knew you took other things away, I just didn't think you took the lovely Tiger away. Still love ya though. He may too, just needs extra attention from you. Lol :P
Cool New People
These are the new people.. people who have yet to suffer at the hands of an irresponsible corporation. These are people who may never know that their best interest here is not priority. Perhaps someone should alert them to what the true nature of the IMVU Corporation. Perhaps they won't care or even pay attention as human nature tends to make most ignore gaping chasms at their feet, but human nature also gives us the instincts that it takes to pull them back before they take the fall. Reach out to your fellow users as others have done in the past.
Thank You,
LordSoulFire
