When did you become a member here on IMVU?
I became a member of IMVU about July 2, years ago. I was on Mypace when someone invited me to IMVU, and I loved it immediately!
How much do you know about developing?
Well, over time I’ve become more familiar with the previewer and developing techniques. I would like to think I know quite a bit in developing, lol, as I always tried to learn as much as I could, and spent a lot of time on IMVU developing.
When did you start developing?
I started developing about a month after I was on IMVU when I found out it was possible to. It was not as advertised back then, like it is now.

I started developing on IMVU 11/27/2007.
Why, you may ask? Well, in the virtual world, you all think it’s fun and games when talking to somebody else. But do you realize that there is another human being sitting in the chair on the other end? Have you thought that when you say things you don’t mean, they actually go through to someone else’s eyes? Have you ever said, “Will you go out with me,” or, “I love you,” to somebody in the virtual world when you’re already in a relationship? Would you consider it cheating? Many people do (and some, surprisingly, don’t)!
In my opinion, it is cheating. You are a human being, there is another human being on the other end, and you both have feelings. Imagine telling your spouse, “Oh yeah hun, I’m dating this person online and I told them I loved them today.” You’re telling me that your spouse would be totally okay with that? And it’s the same if you didn’t tell your spouse. You would be keeping it from him! That’s just my opinion, but here are a bunch more:
Many IMVU developers and members alike are angered by the IMVU’s “Peer Review” system. Some say it takes days before their products can actually get into their catalogs. But then others say that Peer Review is a good idea because most parents that have younger kids (under 18 years old) who use IMVU would not want their kids using inappropriate objects, or even coming across them in the catalog.
Here are some statements from when I asked:
Mikami said:
“It’s stupid and pointless.
The adults are no fun and don’t realize they are killing imvu instead of helping it.
Kids come on the internet for fun and to get away from parents.
I honestly hate peer review.
It doesn’t help. I get my credits back.”
Party with 4U!

Late 2006; I had a broken leg and was at home bored out of my brain recovering, so I clicked on a banner posted on my other favorite site, hsx.com, and ended up at IMVU. I downloaded it to see what it was and I think I was hooked from then on.
Developing is something you learn more about every day. I find it mentally challenging, but way too time-consuming.
