More Details

What are the IMVU Mafias?

We have 80000+ members, 900+ monthly active members, 18000+ monthly visitors, 2800+ paying members, 120+ staff members, 5 daily active paid staff members (and hiring), active shout box with staff always on duty, active forums with 142000+ publicly searchable posts covering every subject on IMVU you can think of, chat rooms, and an underground market for selling; tools, products, digital resources, credits, accounts, etc ...

The IMVU Mafias was started in 2007 as an organization for helping children earn free credits and products. This was in response to IMVU inc creating a rule that bans anyone who begs for credits or products. We started as an organization for helping people.

2009 - 2011 we gave 11000+ free IMVU VIP's, 44000000+ free credits, and created a bot that earned our members billions of free predits. Around 2012 we declared victory against IMVU in the war against poverty when IMVU added a free credits section to their site.

2007 - 2010 we fought wars against 7 different black hat h4(k3r organizations h4(k1n9 people on IMVU, and we won all 7 wars, successfully removing all of IMVU's most prominent black hat h4(k1n9 groups.

2009 - 2010 we shut down 2 child sex slave operations on IMVU.

2011 we worked with a lawyer to sue IMVU for their removal of trigger music and won; a few months ago IMVU was forced to pay everyone back for this.

2012 when IMVU started adding malware / spyware to the IMVU Client, we started making our own version of the IMVU client without spyware. To this day thousands of people come to our site to download our clean light version of the IMVU Client.

2010 - 2015 we led the adult sexual revolution on IMVU; successfully decimating all 6 of IMVU's security systems against sex products on IMVU; we won. To this day, we are the number 1 safest site for sexual products and services on IMVU for adults. People are safe to love and make love.

2015 when IMVU banned all credit resellers, we created a market where people can continue to buy and sell credits; with a successful trust level system to prevent scamming.

2007, 2010, & 2012 our site was destroyed 3 times and each time we re-built it bigger and stronger than ever; instantly arising from the ashes with the full might of our community.

Our team of developers, programmers, and scientists are leaders in new technology on IMVU; producing new innovative tools, protections, and products.

We are a family, We are a business, and yes ... we are an organized crime syndicate. When the users of IMVU face an enemy; whether it be IMVU staff setting up unfair rules, hackers plundering accounts, poverty crushing the little man, or technical burdens; we are the first and last line of defense. We protect each other. We help each other. We love each other. Together we heal, we learn, and we grow. Together we are strong.

The IMVU Mafias is a community dedicated to the betterment of IMVU as a whole by providing a safe haven where users can learn, discuss, and receive help throughout their IMVU lives; ranging from educational to militia activities, the IMVU Mafias offers extensive programs and resources that will ensure you find what you seek.

Community Updates May-June 2025 by DataMine at Wed 25 Jun 20:01

Welcome to the community news for the months of May and June 2025 where I will be talking about the changes the community has gone through the last couple months from website improvements, to new staff to creating a new Discord.

Lets start off by giving a warm welcome to @NekroKlown who has been hired to run contests and events (congratulations! :fireworks: ). Check out our Contenst forum to see what they have going on.

Next up, if you haven't heard, we created a new Discord server! This new server is more organized making it easier to find the content you're interested in and socialize with the community. With this new server comes one new rule however, no more selling accounts!

If that sounds good to you, here's an invite, come join us!




Website News

Next up lets talk about the website news. There's been lots of bug fixes, behind the scenes changes and improvements. Lets start with the positives! Here is a list of improvements and bug fixes we made to improve the experience for you guys and gals.


  • New Polls can now be created again.
  • Old Polls will no longer get yeeted when you edit a post that already had one :sweatdrop:
  • Quoting a user in your reply from the thread post history now works again.
    [[VISIT THREAD TO VIEW IMAGE]]
  • Removed Skype from profiles and various back-end systems due to it being retired by Microsoft.
  • Mafia VIP in the Medit Shop will now correctly check if you have enough posts to purchase it. Reported by @E Z
  • Your awards page has been polished and brought up to the standards of the rest of the site
  • Disabled/Banned users no longer show up on the list of recipients when looking at the details page for an award. Such as the Debugger Award for example.
  • The IMVU Material (XRF) Generator Received a completed overhaul, from the logic to the visuals and was given a new home


Now for the ugly news. We've had an influx of users trying to take advantage of our community to farm medits with AI spam. To combat this we've introduced some new rules and behind-the-scenes changes/additions.


  • Using AI to generate post content is no longer allowed.
  • Once a week the site will send a warning to users who have a negative medit balance. After 3 warnings these users will be banned. This will only effect users who broken our Community Rules & Etiquette multiple times.



We have a lot planned over the coming months so stay tuned!

Imvu removed from play store by whitebeard at Tue 19 Nov 09:44

IMVU has been removed from Google Play store and the Apple store in India. In the US, the app has been rated M for mature. This is due to AP plus, which made the IMVU app no longer suitable for minors. IMVU launched ap plus to complete with bm creators. And so we see another total fail by IMVU to affect the bm market.
