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.
