why IMVU?

are they another sponsor of Autism Speaks?


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.

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
Brilliant news!  Smile
