I've never even really used IMVU to chat with anyone or make friends. I mostly just use it privately as an outfit creator / dress up simulator, and am content with that. IMO they headed a good way to losing half of their old user base once they decided to arbitrarily close the old message boards, and then delete all trace of them completely without any consideration for the communities' wishes. They couldn't even be bothered to simply archive them, even though many of the posts and guides there were still very useful to keep around and read, especially for help on creating things. They treat everything as disposable now, even their own product. I'm not sure I'll have much incentive to stay on if the desktop client is eventually replaced or done away with entirely as they seem to be implying, next is garbage and barely loads anything on either my computer or mobile, and that sterile all white interface is unsightly as hell. I'm sick of them wanting to foist it on me. Will IMVU lite still work or be made compatible in the event of a forced overhaul? I'd love to see the possibility of the old style client being able to live on just through that.
