The original business which IMVU shut down ($$$No Joke Free Credits$$$) was started: May 16th 2007, shut down on Nov 20th 2007 (but yes, our forums were created on Nov 22nd, 2007).
We took up the name IMVU Mafias on: Nov 18th 2007 after the mother of our enemy publicly accused our original business of being "The Mafia with backup". during a speech warning IMVU about us
Our homepage was scripted: Nov 21st 2007.
Then our forums were created: Nov 22nd, 2007.
We reopened to the public on Nov 25th 2007.
Many of our original members and capos came the original business.
Finally, Don Falcon joined Dec 22nd 2007.
Original capos:Global Mob Officer FireCat - a brave soldier who bravely fought on to save our original business, when everyone around her was dieing or running, she is the only person to have ever been trusted with the position of global mob officer (other than Tony who recently received the position), and still holds that position
Graphic Design Capo Coolio - a poor gangster with a talent for graphics, who Don took off the street to make graphics for the family and run social events (If you want to see some of his work, just look at the first pic in my sig)
Capo da Retroguardia Bitchani - the widow of an American GI who was left with a child and without the money to buy credits, she was the first ever member of our rear guard, in charge of testing submitted methods, and protecting the family from hackers, scammers, crackers, and thieves (all of our original methods were tested or retested by her)
Capo da General Falcon - originally known as CrapMan Of IMVU, was banned from our shoutbox for spamming, he then learned the rules of the IMVU Mafias and used his new knowledge to help keep our threads clean, for his services, he slowly made his way up through the ranks of the family...all the way to his current position of Don
Shoutbox Mod Don Von Jr - a little boy who looked up to Don and followed his examples, always trying to help the family and mimicking Don Von Free Credits in every way (changed his name in latter years because people kept mistaking him for Don after he even copied my avatar, this is the reason why Don Von is a non allowed name in our forums' system even today)
