Well, they just wanted to cause people to get interested, and curious, etc, and the Ads did that well. But they didn't quite have the focus they wanted, as the attention wasn't on the Ad's message, but on the ads themselves. I think there's a body of text about it.

Okay - so they are not using those ads.... but how about something more constructive and realistic?  I know I wish I was more informed before my meeting my bf.

I have no idea why on Earth you'd accuse me of being a Curbie, or wanting to be cured, because I desire to go to a social networking site.



I'm not! Smile

I was just wondering why you chose IMVU just a simple question I don't accuse anyone of being a curebie if there is no evidence

sorry if it came across like that!

Well you did ask if they were a sponsor of Autism Speaks, a well known curbie organization.


I did ask If they were a sponsor because what you were saying sounded like you were going to Point out that autism speaks are in the wrong on IMVU  and to be honest every company seems to be joining Autism speaks now.

but sorry If you thought I was accusing you of being a curebie  but I wouldn't do that because I and many others know that you oppose cures! Smile

yay for IMVU!

Flardox, IMVU is a messenger type program, but its got a gimmick; you create a 3D avatar, a la Second Life, and use that to chat with.

also,Yoshi, add me :p Pikajedi3


I don't have a problem with IMVU just what  violet-yoshi said sounded like there are a large group of curebies on there or are sponsors of a curing charitty What I wasn't saying was that everyone on there is a curebie!

but thanks for explaning it to me Pikajedi4!
