Count Down To Shut Down OF Classic Or Is IMVU Completely Finished?

Yes I understand that younger users use their phones for everything but it has become a huge problem with them not able to see their KBs. They try to enter rooms in classic causing them to crash. In the past month I have seen at least four phone app users with KBs over 17K. Please fix this so they can see their KBs and possibly tell them what they are?

I Agree With Scultry Here,

I Know It Sounds Bad From My View, I Totally Get The
Frustration People Have, But When Your Silent For 10 Years,
& All They Do Is Walk All Over You, & Ignore You??

Something Has To Give, Them Or Us...

I Silently Was Trying To Quit Spending 10 Years Ago,
& Just Grow On Here With What I Already Accumulated...

But After This, & It's Still Going On 10 Years Later??
--- I Can't Do This Silent Treatment Anymore, ~____~

I Got What I Wanted Out Of My Experience Already,
Sooooo, I Am Not Angry Of Anything Lost On My Part,
Or Spent On My Part, But The Mass Neglect Here,
& Stolen Accounts Over An Attitude That Has Come
Out Of Nowhere ??

Makes Some People Question What Is Really Going On Here, ~____~

& As I Said ??

We Need Some Real Answers To This,
& We Need To Be Careful About How
This Information Is Driven Out,
& We Need Da Hard Reality Truth, ~____~

Not Some Faulty Half Baked Answer
From Some Toxic Child...

We Need Actual Truth ~_____~


PS:

IMVU Staff Claimed Before All This,
They Were In Financial Issues...

Either That Is Costing Them A Lot Of Heated Problems ??
--- Or They Just Got Completely Nutzo On Their Brains Out Of Nowhere

Clearly Something Is Wrong, & I Don't Want To Encourage
This Kind Of Thing Onto Others, Not Behavior, Nor Troubling
Them With An Account...

Even If This Was About Mobile Portable Use,
It Doesn't Explain Why Many Who Already Are On
Mobile / Portable Are Also Having Troubles Of
Their Own, Or Even That Mobile / Portable Has
Already Been Around For A While Now...

If This Was Only That ??

I Don't Really Get Their Selling / Marketing Around That
For Me To Grasp & Understand Their Purpose Here On That...

I Think What's Really Going On Is Far
Out Of That Reach, & Much More Is Going
On Then We Think Is Going On, Here...

I Think Something Is Really, Really Wrong,
& They Just Won't Tell Us What's Wrong,
Either They Had Some Issues & Got Into Trouble,
Or They Are Deliberately Causing These Troubles,
Or The Alternative Is Their Just Shutting Down,
& Want To Suck People Dry As Much As Possible
Before Doing So, Or They Simply Are I'll & They
Have Mental Problems & Can't Function Right,
Or The Lastly, But Not Least Problem Is They
Just Don't Want To Do IMVU Anymore, & They Just
Simply Are Not Handling The Shut Down Very Well At All...

Or The Final Problem Is That They Actually Sold IMVU
& Sold It To A Group Of People Who Want To Do Harm With It,
& Are Likely Not Good People, ~_____~

The Sad Reality Is, I Can't Determine Which Of These
Outcomes Is The One That's Really Going On, & The Worst
Part Is That Most Of These Sound Really, Really Bad,
Especially If You Use A Bank Account With This Site,
Which Thankfully I Do Not, ~____~


Either Way, Good Look To What Others
Plan To Do From Here On Out, o_____O

As A Matter Of Fact, I Don't Even Know If I Trust
This Place Anymore Enough To Keep My Account Open,
& Not Permanently Closed, Soooo, That Is Where I'm
Already At Here... Is That I'm Not Even Sure I Should
Keep My Account To Start With, o____O

IMVU JUST TOOK AWAY ALL OF MY SONGS AND MIXES..THEY ARE ALL GONE...I MAY NOT BE STAYING ON THIS WEBSITE MUCH LONGER AFTER THIS...ALL THOSE MEMORIES AND ALL THE MEMORIAL MIXES I MADE FOR DEAR FRIENDS WHO HAD PASSED AWAY AND ALL THE CHRISTMAS AND HOLIDAY MIXES, HALLOWEEN, ETC...ALL GONE FOR GOOD...12 YEARS WORTH OF SONGS AND THESE PEOPLE WANT TO ONLY REFUND MEMBERS SONG PURCHASES AFTER OCTOBER 2025...THATS 6 MONTHS .AND NOT EVEN REFUNDING CASH..THEY ARE ONLY REFUNDING MEMBERS IMVU CREDITS WHICH ARE WORTHLESS AND COST NOTHING TO THEM TO GIVE OUT....THEY HAVE SOME NERVE..WITH NO MUSIC TO PLAY THIS IS GOING TO BE LIKE BEING ON MOBILE OR DESKTOP,,,NOT MUCH FUN AND NOT WORTH IT..AT THIS POINT IM TOTALLY DISGUSTED WITH THESE PEOPLE

As most of you have said, this is just not right. So many of us have been in here for 10 or 12 years and so many from the birth of IMVU. They have taken so many things away for the dumbest of reasons and, of course, never considered reimbursing us even 1 credit. I use classic 99% of the time. I will post photos on fee but find I have to make sure I'm not following everyone in the universe. Yes, todays, generation is mobile but there are still plenty of us who are older and are not. It's a sad state of affairs we are facing in what used to be a place we could go for hours and hours.... OUR OTHER REALITY...... it is sinking into oblivion.

As A Reply Back To @SavingGrace On The Topic Of Subscriptions...

I Hate To Burst The Bubble At IMVU Staff...

But I've Never Bought An Advertisement Before In My Life,
If I Want Something I Simply Go Get It, Otherwise I'm Not Interested...

The IMVU Staff Should Know By Now That Pushing
Subscription Models Over The Traditional Way Of
Doing Things...

Is Not Going Well For Microsoft & Their Game Pass
In The Current Right Now, As A Matter Of Fact They
Are Getting Heavily Beaten Over The Head On That
Topic Right Now...

If This Really Is What IMVU Staff Wants??
-- Believe Me, Going Down That Path Is Dark & Twisted
---- They Won't Like What They Find

If This Is Not Their Intended Goal??

The IMVU Staff Needs To Do Some Explaining
Of What Their Actual Goal Is, Because Clearly
Nobody Is Getting Any Hint To What It Is Here, ~___~

If The Goal Is For Higher Quality ??
--- I'm Not Seeing The Benefit Of Higher Quality Yet...

Having My 2 Accounts Stolen, Does Not Look Like A Higher Quality Service
Anywhere Near It In Fact In My View At All, ~___~

It Makes This Company Or Group Of People In Charge
Look Extremely Shady, Instead, o____O

personally i prefer classic over the others instead of bringing classic to an end go work on cleaning up next and that theres so many that enter rooms posting links still and still under 18s are still getting in and on another note i really really dont like the new update seriously cant enter a non ap room with ap on or even put on ap thats just messed up i change often into ap things wen im in my rooms but now i cant cause u took that away from us your making vu boring and you will loose alot of people if continue please give us back the ability to change into ap at least in a club of ur own 

@Sarirea  Yes, I agree with you. Unfortunately, they mainly focus on IMVU Mobile and IMVU Desktop and seem to be paying less attention to the old Classic Client. Some things haven't worked properly for a long time, but the bugs aren't being fixed.

I tested IMVU Desktop, but I didn't like it. Some features that work with IMVU Classic don't work with IMVU Desktop. As a long-time Classic user, I find IMVU Desktop simply boring. With the Classic Client, we always had cool parties with voice boxes, music boxes, and DJ light effects, but that's no longer possible with IMVU Desktop.

@Lyciel666 so the bubbles can be turned off. With a keyboard command. Is this information readily and easily found or is it a hidden feature known only by the long time users? If it is a hidden feature, why? Surely the classic app can be updated to make this feature readily available to the new user experience?

While the desktop and next app might cover some of the visual environment. Not having to use a work around to not see what you wrote twice is more user friendly.

BUBBLES - You can easily turn off the speech bubbles with CTRL+B - nobody has to read their writing twice if they know how to use Classic ;)

So I saw this topic and started reading responses and I saw something that caught my eye:

"I strongly suggest you spend some time learning it's features and give feedback to IMVU regarding, the inspirations you may have and contributive suggestions for further development"

Since there is IMVU Next, IMVU Desktop and IMVU Classic I decided to try all three.

Camera Navigation: Next and Desktop have better 360 viewing at the cost of speed. Classic has the viewing speed at the cost of less user friendly 360 viewing.

Product Nodes: Next and Desktop do this one very nice. You can see what your avatar is going to be doing before interacting with the product. Classic doesn't do this.

Chatting Experience: Each instance had it's ups and downs. Really comes down to preferences.
    Chat Box: Classic did this one better. It doesn't cover up the visual environment like Next or Desktop.
    Bubbles?: Do we need to see what we wrote twice? Next and Desktop wins here.
    Multiple Chat Sessions: Classic does better on being able to switch between chatting environments. Next and Desktop make it easier to follow along when not in a particular chatting scene.
    Changing Looks: I found the experience to be about the same across all three platforms.

@Abby819729 ..I have flagged your comment where you insulted and degraded people because they cannot stand the new crap IMVU is putting out..because you violated community board standards.Just because you dont like what we say doesnt mean you get to call people names and hurl insults at us.You have NO clue what you are talking about anyways.Other than the Classic Client, all the other versions are garbage, case closed.No music mixes, terrible graphics,less mobility to move around,and the list goes on and on.Mobile and Desktop are HORRIBLE.Just like electric cars are HORRIBLE.Why do you think electric cars have not taken off like they were supposed to by now.That was supposed to be the "new age invention" that all of us would soon be driving and own and that was years and years ago.Hardly anybody owns an electric car.Why? They suck, thats why....In your warped mind you think that newer automatically means better.You are so off its not even funny.The people that love and use Classic Client are the ones that spend the money on this website and keep it afloat, not the mobile newbies or desktop users.Tehy join for a month and leave.WE are the loyal ones that stay and spend money on music and items.Every idea they come up with backfires. What they should have done is put their money and resources into making the Classic Client even better and upgraded it.That would have saved this website.Do you see the declining numbers every single month? We used to have well over 100,000 people on at the same timew years ago,,on weekends it was over 150,000...now we are lucky to see it hit 30,000...and why do you think that is???? Let me answer that for you.All the people have quit and left because they refuse to upgrade and fix issues with the Classic Client.Yhey were going to get rid of the Classic Client about 5 years ago, but we have all fought them to keep it and they also do have a realization that if they do get rid of it, they may sink their ship for good...The Classic Client is where their real customers were and still are.If they dont get it together and realize that soon, and continue down the road with the mobile and desktop garbage, this website will be history.You can kiss it goodbye.So maybe then you can take all your great technology with you and drive off in your electric car into the sunset because IMVU will cease to exist....

@MrNathanLadds -- they only shutdown one version of the Flash widget but another new version exists that is functioning - this is more about $$$ than losing any contract -- plain and simple IMVU wants to control access to Music so they can profit through subscription access to use it on their platform.

I Think The #1 Problem On IMVU Is That The World Changed,
But Only A Portion People Actually Adjusted To Those Changes...
--- Social Networks (FaceBook, Twitter, Insta)
--- Social Media (TikTok)
--- Digital Control Your Mobile Phone & Perform Privacy Theft Everywhere
--- Computers Are Now Fitted For Mobile Portable Environments
--- AI Will Do Everything For You & Make It All Simple-er

Most Companies Think That The Whole World Jumped On This Waggon,
But In Reality, Only 15% Of That World Jumped On, ~____~

That's Why There Is Such A Massive Backlash,
& Also Why Companies Don't Understand Why, o____O

--- Face Book
--- Twitter
--- Robotic AI
--- STEAM (Largest Video Game PC Site)
--- Windows 11

Are All Massively Getting Hard Feedback,
& Massively Getting Destroyed By Customers...

If IMVU Wanted A Part Of That Future??
--- Then It's Clear Why They Are Also Getting Beaten To Shreds, Too

It's Cause It's Not As Enjoyable In Reality As It Sounded On Paper,
It's A Giant Mess, & Everyone Is Trashing It Hard, ~_____~

I Think Some Companies Got The Wrong Idea
What Everyone Wants In The World, &
Because They Are Pushing It Far Too Hard,
People Are Retaliating Back, ~___~


Am I Wrong??

The IMVU Staff Slanders Us & Disrespects Us, & Treats Us Like Dirt...

Yet They Throw In Words Like
Be Respectful In Our Faces??

Like Hell I Will, They Don't Deserve It, ~____~

They Stole Property That Was Paid For,
The Kill Accounts Whenever They Feel Like It,
They Make Content You Buy Disappear Anytime They Want...

Their Service Works Like Arzs,
& They Sell Broken Stuff Today...

---- In My View: They'll Get Respect When One Is Provided, Not Before...
------ & They Won't Get One Provided Until They Start Earning It, o___O


PamelaAnderson -

The songs sample perfectly fine before you buy them, then after you pay for them and put it into a mix, the wont work.

My Response:

Thank You, Now I Know Not To Buy Any New Songs...

-------------------------------------------------

PS: To Abby819729

You Say That We Don't Understand Technology Enhancements

We Do, But What You Don't Understand Is,
Most That Stuff You Talk About Are For New Audiences Only...

We Stick To The Classic Client,
Because We Prefer It Over All Those
Technology Advancements You Call Improvements, o____O

Look At IMVU Next For Instance??

That Came With Higher Quality Avatars & Rooms,
Poses, & A Lot More...

When's Last Time It Got An Upgrade??
All The Way Back When Mini-Games Got Shut Down...

The New Desktop APP, I Quit Using It, Cause It Kept
Crashing On My Computer, The Free Spin Was Over Layed
By A Giant Advertisement I Couldn't Cancel Out All 

Because The Button To Close It Was Too Large On My
Dum Screen For Me To Find It, Anotherwords It Got
Hidden Behind Something I Could Not Fix A Problem On...

The Overall IMVU Experience On It Has Been Ultimately
Worst, & All I Really Want Is Just To Stay On Classic...

Let All The Younger Kids Use The Desktop BETA APP,
& The Mobile Phones...

The Staff Needs To Let Us Use The IMVU Classic & The IMVU Next...

You & The Staff Wants Everyone In The Same Place??

Srry To Burst Yours & Their Bubble, There,
But Most Kids Want To Be On Mobile,
& I Refuse To Put IMVU On A Mobile Phone...

Life Sucks, But That's Just Something People Have To Deal With,
We Want Different Things Then The Younger Kids Want...

We Leave Them Alone, & Don't Force Them To Use Our Experiences,
& We Don't Even Ask For Anything, But Privacy...

The Staff Can't Even Get The Staff Service Right At All, ~____~

You & The Staff Know Nothing About The Staff's Customers At All, o____O

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm Trying To Be Open Minded To Social Media,
But I Am Not A Social Network Fan, Soooo??

If The Product Is Anti-Social, Then The Product Is Dead,
If The Product Is Pro-Healthy Social, Then It's A Product I'm Willing To Give A Chance...

I Don't Do Anything On A Mobile Phone,
I Don't Do Anything On A Portable Device,
& Above All, Computers Should Just Be Computers...

----------------------------------------------------

Now That We Settled This:

Lets Review What Abby Actually Wrote...

1.) Were to get one of the brand new electric motor cars full of the latest technological innovations

#1) Problem Is You Think Latest Technology In New Electric Cars Is Innovative??
------ I Disagree, I Think It's Anti-Innovative Instead
------ Costs Are High, Computer Chips In Cars Is Stupid
------ Self-Driving Causes Death, Because It's Fake Advertising

#2) This may be simply because you have no idea how the new technology works??

---- We Do, Which Is Exactly Why We Prefer The Classic, Not The Other Newer Products...

#3) It's camera is only 50,000 times better than the one in Classic ??

---- Last I Checked Clicking The New Camera Tools To Pan & Scan Rooms
------ Is Worst Then Using A Mouse To Roam The Rooms & It's Slower, Too
------ If You Wanted Mobile Format Clients?? Then Yes This Is Improved...
------ But We Don't Want That Junk, & Most The One's Who Do Already Have It...

4) It can display textures and lighting that are simply not possible in Classic??

---- Is This Having Anything To Do With AP + Or IMVU + Or VIP + Services At All??
---- What About NTSF Or What Products??

I Can Only Speak For Myself Here, But I Use None Of That At All,
If That's Where The New Improved Lighting & Textures Comes From,
Then I Have No Use For It, Because I Don't Use The Very Products
That Utilize The Lighting & Textures, ~___~

This Reminds Me Of When IMVU Added The Supposed Resizing Parts Of Avatars,
To Make Avatars Larger, Smaller, Skinny, Fat On IMVU... Which Improves Things,
But It Also Broke Poses, It Broke Shirts, Pants, It Even Broke Avatar Joints
On The Service, & No, You Can't Just Go, & Update The Product To Fix It,
Because The Problem Isn't In The Product, The Problem Is In The Resizers... ~___~

IMVU In 2026, Still Runs As If It Was Fitted To Run On The 2006 APP
Long Ago, Where Avatars Were Bulky, It Shows On Avatars, & Also
Furnature, & Even In Rooms...

The Size Of Rooms Haven't Even Been Fitted To An Adjustable Size
To Meet The Size Changes & Avatar Joint Adjustments To Make Room
For More Actual People To Utilize The Rooms, Above All, The Artwork,
The Furnature, & Many Other Things Haven't Been Fitted To This Adjustment, Either...

Sooo, In My View:

It's Like We Are Using Updated Improved Looking Avatar Qualities,
& Higher Textures On Things That Are Still Fitted To The 2006 APP,
Which Has Been Long Gone By Now... Heck, I've Even Seen Rooms Where
The Size Of Room Is Ultra Tiny, Yet The Furnature Going Inside Them
Barely Fits In Them, o___O

Such As A Basement Room, Or A Loft??
Where The Door Is At Top, With A Stair Case Going Down,
& It's Just A Rectangle Down On The Floor Level Space...


PS:

I strongly suggest you spend some time learning it's features???

----- and contributive suggestions for further development ??


Ok, You Want My Feedback Here It Is On Future Development??

"MY FEEDBACK FOR THE FUTURE"
----------------------------

The Desktop BETA APP, Crashes Much Harder Then The Classic Does,
It Uses A Lot More Resources Then What The Classic Used...
--- This Sucks On Anything Driven By Windows 11

The Classic APP Needs A Switch Allowing Auto-Cache Clean Up Without Closing Client...

The Next Needs To Update & Change / Alter It's Log In Service,
The Log-In Service Takes Way Too Long To Load Compared To The
Log-In Screen That Used To Be There Before, We Don't Need A
Giant Wall Of Artwork To Load Long Before A Sign-In Box Appears,
Just Get Us The Sign-In Box, o____O

Get Rid Of The Pop Up Box On Top Of The Free Spin
On The New Desktop BETA Client...

The New Mouse Arrow Clicking Camera Settings
In Your Bottom Left Area?? Nobody Wants To Use That, ~___~

Incorporate The Same Technology Advanced Pose Spots
Onto The Desktop BETA Client That You Have On Next,
Bring The Music Player Over From The Classic To The
Desktop BETA APP...

Stop Messin With The Avatars & Genders In The IMVU Shop,
You Already Got Male & Female Ghosts Mixed Up As It Is,
Then You Got Male & Female Clothing Mixed Up In Shop...

Now You Want To Mix Up Genders, Too??

Your Shop Is An Entirely Cluster Screw Ball,
& The Navigation Of It All Is About As Much
Of An Abomination Due To Lack Of Maintenance,
Cleanliness, & Orderly Attractive Simple
Functionality, Which Actually Works... It Lacks
All Of This, & Not Just That?? But You Have Things
In The Wrong F Ing Categories, Shirts Where Pants Are,
Among Many Other Things... Actions In Other Categories...

Then You Have The IMVU Feed Which You Attached To Next??
--- Which I Would Never Actually Visit

Sooo, In The End??

MY FEEDBACK IS THIS:

I Have Tried & Gave The Desktop BETA A Chance,
I Have Tried The Mobile,
I Have Tried Next,
& I Have Used The Next Feed...

In The End:

I Still Choose To Use The Desktop Website,
I Still Choose To Use Classic Client,
I Still Use Promo & Real Credits,
I Still Want Bought Names To Be Permanent,
I Still Want My 2 Accounts That Got Deleted From IMVU Staff Back In Full,
I Still Say The Old Way To Get Credits Was Far Better,
& I Still Promote Avoiding Anything Else On IMVU... ~___~


My Feed Back Is I Still Prefer The Older System...

That's The Future Of IMVU In My View,
If That's Not Yours??

Then I'll Leave The Program When My Credits Run Out...
-- Good Luck With This Feedback, o____O
