I have finished my investigation. IMVU inc's ip address was indeed on his ad on July 20th. They searched our forums for "free AP" and then they browsed our market for pages selling accounts. The only ads they went to were ads selling accounts.

I have taken the necessary action. From now on, IMVU staff is banned from our server. Period.


Do they do this often?


No. They normally only visit our site once every other month .... normally for a few minutes. Normally linking to our site from a help ticket. Normally just checking out some random thread.

Someone on IMVU staff must have grown some balls. We will have to chop them off.


Wait, they link to our site in their tickets?

Sometimes, yes. Users will sometimes file IMVU help tickets containing links to our site.


Oh, I thought you were saying that IMVU themselves will put links to our site in their responses.

No, but the links that users send to IMVU staff have made IMVU staff extremely easy to track on our site over the years.

Last month for example, IMVU staff visited our site and searched for "ways to view others credits". The only thread their search pulled up was DM's thread for downloading legit older versions of the IMVU client.

That thread has a poll on it that indicates 90% of our members prefer downloading clients from our site rather than IMVU.

I am guessing this is one of the reasons IMVU staff have been so ban happy on "unauthorized clients" for the past month. They are jealous of us.

If they ban you, there' not going to let you keep your credits obviously. Especially since you're not supposed to have more than 1 account anyway. And depending on what they ban you for, they could think your credits weren't legitly earned.

Doesn't matter if you have a billion credits. Technically you're not supposed to have another account so even if IMVU was nice (which why would they be if they think you did something to deserve a ban) you shouldn't have another account to use those credits with anyway. Aside from that though, IMVU has never allowed banned used to retrieve credits from banned accounts.

So yeah, it's no surprise that they wouldn't give you your credits.

REally? Where is that in the TOS? Yet again am confused because so many "uppidity royalties of IMVU" should then be banned as well for having more than one account.

You are allowed to have more than one account. There are just certain things the accounts can not do:
1) all of the accounts have to be under 18 or all of the accounts have to be over 18
2) you are not allowed to do IMVU's partner offers on multiple accounts
3) IMVU normally limits you to 2 ap accounts per credit card
4) IMVU normally limits you to 5 VIP accounts per credit card / paypal account
