My Dark Reflections

[Pagan Skunk]

Greets... you can call me Pagan if you like.

I'm...not quite sure what to say. I never was a star at introductions, or at having a social life in general, but I try.
I've been into furs all my life, but didn't get in more direct touch with it until I was 13 or 14 or so. I've been here and there around the community, but never settled anywhere due to various reasons. Hopefully my stay here will be fun and I get to meet some nice creatures.

Any questions can be posted here or inquired over instant messenger if that's your thing.
Take care,
~Pagan Skunk

*nods*

Oh right, I can't make chat-type posts in here...sorry about that.
I really have no idea what else to post, though... I want to talk, but have no idea what about and with whom.
*sighs softly* oh well, I just suck at this...so if you're interested, my messengers are in my profile....that's all.

Hiya there Pagan,
Im new here too, just thought id extend my hellos, im finding my way around IMVU at the moment, thats how I ended up on the forums, im figuring they are linked somehow...
If you have the program and want a chat I'll be around on there as Jesspup.
Take care!

I don't even know what "IMVU" is...

[FoxyMcCloud]

! Go to http://www.imvu.com

IMVU is a 3D online chat program. You need it! Have fun!

PS Welcome to the forums!

I see.... I hadn't heard of this messenger thing up 'till now, really.
It looks a lot like Second Life, and I quit using that because it confused me to no end, especially in the user interface and graphics bit, not to mention it rather lags even on my pc, which can handle a lot. Plus, I didn't want to pay real money just to get my character a new pair of jeans...

I see you guys even have a developer section here...I'm guessing IMVU is about the only method of communication you guys use here, seeing all the avatars on here and such? Rather disappointing...I'm more of a traditional MSN/YIM/AIM guy myself. I don't use IRC, ICQ or Second Life-related things. Even if I did download and use IMVU (assuming it's free), I wouldn't know how to customize my character. I lack the skill to work graphically on such things, and I don't wish to bother others to do the work for me...not like I have any friends that can do that. I don't have any friends whatsoever.

So...guess I'm sorry I can't join in the fun. I'll be on my way... *le sighs and leaves*

IMVU is free.
You don't need a fancy computer to run it. I some times run it on a 355?Mhz PC.
The in-game economy is based off of credits. There are easy ways of getting free credits (predits).
There is only one catalog that you get your items from to costomise your avatar or room or even the skin for the program.

We also use IRC. Many of our members do use other instant messenger clients as well.
IMVU is just fun to use because of it's ability let you express yourself.

If it's anything like SecondLife, I wouldn't understand it. Besides, how would I customise my avatar in order to make it look like my fursona? I'm not a graphic artist, and I doubt the program has various furry skins as a default feature. It would surprise me if it did.

Edit: I installed it and nowhere do I find an option to edit one's avatar, so how you people create and change your avatars into furry ones is beyond me... see, I knew I wouldn't understand it. *hangs head*

We also use IRC.

I don't. Tried it, but it never seemed fun to me. But I guess I could give yours a try...maybe...just out of curiosity if the whole thing changed after my last try. Although...not even allowed to say you're bored because "it's not your job to entertain"? I can understand the rest of the rules, but...that's like saying it's forbidden to say that you have an itchy foot, because "we are NOT going to scratch it for you!"... There's a difference between saying "I'm bored" and "Entertain me, you lot!"...one is a statement, the other is a request/demand. I don't mind following the rules, but if something normal and harmless is being banned.... *shakes head* I don't wish to walk on eggshells whilst I'm talking to people.

Ability to let you express yourself? In what way? Like movements such as a handshake and stuff? Do you have to create and import those too, like in SecondLife?

Ah well, I guess it doesn't matter, now does it? I don't understand IMVU at all and I hardly know anyone (no friends or whatever), and I know even less people that use that darn messenger anyway... and IRC won't be much fun either. Yeah...if I had known this before I joined, I probably wouldn't have tried. Well, carry on. This skunk's taking the highway and getting run over by a heavy four-wheeled vehicle. See you...
