Soli's Ramblings...
by Soli
Welcome to the dark side... I've been exploring Imvumafias for a while now and despite my initial reaction to the site, I've found that I'm drawn in deeper with every passing day.
Digging through the tutorial forums is like searching for a diamond in the ruff. There is so much useful information, most of which is difficult for me to understand with my limited knowledge of computers... but then I find those articles that seem to radiate with untapped knowledge.
My first trek through the garden of knowledge known as the forums section was a bit daunting at first. Staring at the words on my screen, I found myself pouting and cursing my ignorance. VPN? No clue what that was. So much technical jargon, my head began to pulse and I thought with a sigh of resignation that I was far too ignorant to ever make use of the information in the forums.
I suppose, my saving grace is the fact that I'm incredibly stubborn. I poured through various other threads and finally came across an entire section of tutorials editing graphics. Score!! I already dabbled in editing and finding these easy to follow tutorials was just the pick me up I needed to get past the first ego bruising, hypothetical face planting fail in my search for knowledge. Yey me...
Once I realized that there's so much more information in the forums section than just advanced, technical chitchat, I began looking further and exploring by sub categories. Eventually, I was so intrigued by what I found that I invested my hard earned medits in purchasing additional permissions with even more information. Best investment so far.
I can't wait to see what else IMVUMafias has to offer!
