Yo. If you read my blogs or the "rules" on my page, I may come off as arrogant or an a**hole. That really depends on who you are and what you feel inside, I never tell people "I'm an ass", because I don't believe I am. When it comes to my homepage, blog, and products I have poured some thought and effort into them. So, I do have pride in what I do, and do notice when either I am disrespected for it or it itself is disrespected. But is IMVU my "life" in any way? No.
Do I pout about stuff here? No. Someone talking sh*t here does not ruin my day, usually only affects my day for the few minutes I am paying attention to IMVU at the time. I do not take IMVU so seriously that I get offended, hurt, etc. But, that does not mean I don't have an opinion about it all.
My page is a representation of me; big or small. I feel most pages represent some element of that person. If you got a 50 Cent background, odds are in some shape or form, 50 Cent represents you or what you are into (in my opinion). Maybe it took you 5 seconds to make your homepage using a random Myspace layout generator. There is nothing wrong with that, it expresses you. Just the same as the text you put on your page it probably was typed so that it can be read.
That same concept applies to me.
A lot of the same type messages and scenarios happen on my page these days. It is either: "showing love", "great products", "can you help me develop?", "passing", "thanks for the badge", "checking out new products" and a few others. I have rules on my page that help people coming to my page for requests (product related), "Developing Messages", People interested in finding a man/Flirting, People in search of Modeling Jobs, etc. To me, if you are coming to ask me for something, the least you can do is read my page. I feel if you are too lazy, ignorant, busy, or whatever to read my page and respect what is there, why do I need to respect you or your requests? I never have asked everyone to read every word of my page. Hell, I am not asking you to read all my blog entries. At least read what is in red on my page. It is in RED for a reason.
The blog is just a way to express how I am feeling at the time. It is completely optional to read and technically is not "on" my page, it is imported onto my page via my blogspot address: seisone.blogspot.com .
As for products, at least on the Male end of the products, I make them for me in mind. I tend to not make products because it is what is "hip". In rare ocassions I have to test my skills, not for mass appeal. I have been around IMVU as long as many other "big" urban developers, but I don't think I am nearly as famous, which I like. A lot of attention I get is from my Youtube videos, not my actual products. But, as I was saying, I do it for me. Whether it is for my own entertainment or for potential profit (money). If you don't like what I make, that is more than ok. Do not go thinking I will make stuff for you because my current catalog does not please you. If anything, I have noooooo problem never developing again, no skin off my back.
As for Female IMVU products I make, I am at a crossroad as I have said in other blog entries. When I make female products, it is me assuming that if I was a female, I might like that. It's hard to get into that mindset. That's why not all of the female products are as popular as others: I have a lot of hits, and a lot of misses. I am considering not developing female products until people actually rock and review those products. It is great to get females coming through saying they like my products, but they must not be "cool" enough to review. Strange how that works. Females (but a lot of b*tch-type dudes do it too) tend to only review things by big named developers or products that have been reviewed by 999,999,999 other people so that they can somehow be "hip". I am not going to invest my personal time into creating products for a group of people that seems to not appreciate it. Sorry if you do review, I am not directing that at you. I appreciate it.

A General Quick Update.
Yo. Man, my blogging stats sure have gone down. I went from blogging every day, to blogging every weekend, and now to once or twice every two months. I just am not finding the time to do so, even with the ease of audio blogging. Scratch that, there are times when I do have the time, it just feels too much like a chore. I don't think I owe it to anyone to blog, at all. I did it at first because it was fun and interesting. Things like college are what require the most time anyways. I am rarely finding time for IMVU, Facebook, Myspace, imeem, Yahoo, etc. When I am on my computer, I am usually not around it. I check e-mails, listen to music, and reply to messages here maybe 2-3 times randomly a week; sometimes evenless than that.
As for a few updates:
[M3tro0X] I am now a memeber of M3tro0x (which if I have right, is composed of: Lunchboxnerd, Jayceeb, Diiva, and I now). Seis1 will always be the most active account I am on. If you did not already know, I am also "Destinesia", which is a collaboration between my girl SoVeryNiah and I. Idk how M3tro0X will go, so far it is going ok; I guess.
[Seis Still Not Paid] If you have read my old post about IMVUPay.com, you know that that company owes me over $200 since about October 2008. Long story short, they claim that someone defrauded (bad credit cards, stolen credit cards) them for over $10,000 (keep in mind I mean dollars not credits). Then, the two owners, eXium & exchange, basically fell off the map and never paid the developers that sold their creidts on their site. Now, eXium has created a new credit reseller website, IMVUCE.com even though his old company has never paid people back. He claimes a company bought IMVUPay.com and they will pay us. That does not make sense to me that a company (that he refuses to name or give details about) bought a company that owes one developer alone $11,000. eXium has lied before and even worked on IMVUCE.com while he ran away from IMVUPay.com and the debt it was in. I personally suggest NOBODY USE IMVUCE.COM!!!
[Badge Updated] I just now updated the appearance of my actual badge. For some odd reason, a lot of people's badges (including mine) appeared with random white dots on them. Since I am (was) in that group of people, I can personally say I did NOT add those white dots. So, I finally got so tired of it that I attempted to re-do my badge. The 2nd time was unsuccessful as well because there were still white spots, just in different places and fewer of them. But, as they say, 3rd time is the charm. This time, I not onlhy attempted to remove that white, I gave it more of a crisp look by rounding the edges and adding a slight reflection glow at the top of the badge along with a black-to-white-to-black gradient border. I am not a badge person. I am not a collector, I do not make multiple badges, I do not go ask for othe peoples badge, but I figure if I am gonna have my own badge, why have a sloppy one? If you do not see the changes to my badge now, give it a few days. IMVU is notoriously slow and I believe badges also go through some type of review. I eventually plan to add something to the interface of the badge (where there is a blank spot) soon.
["The Badge Collector"] About a week ago I was in the account settings area and looked up the link on "what are badges?" (don't ask why). I came across a section at the bottom that had badge collecting tips from avatar PurpleHaze. I instantly was suspicious. His tips were good and polite, no doubt about that. But, I personally have seen that he does not practice what he preaches. He has never done any of the things he suggests other people do to me. I have revoked his badge two times now, but he keeps coming back to get it again. Collector? Seems fiendish to me... But, you be the judge. Click the graphic below to see what I mean.
[Schedule] Again, I am often busy. So I am gonna state this here so it is visible (if you choose not to read it, that is not my problem):
- I am checking messages as much as possible
- I am not here for social purposes, so friend requests get deleted
- I ignore people who do something I say not to do
- I will attempt to develop every weekend, but no promises
- I do not do custom anything
- I do not need models... Male or Female
- I do have Yahoo, I do not give it out
Sorry if that offends anyone. But, if that offends you, I am probably not sorry.
