Many of you know who ran this blog therefore I don't even need to say who was the one behind it.
Anyways I am stepping down, not that many people follow this blog now but for anyone who sees it I just want to say thanks for a good time.
That's all.
Goodluck in trying to all be smarter buyers which hopefully HOPEFULLY I helped.
If nothing else I hope you got a good laugh.
Thank you all.

Offsite theft; Warning about "IMVU Mafias".
This isn't specifically about GASR theft.
But it's equally as heinous.
This is a general warning about some website called "IMVU Mafias"
http://www.imvumafias.org
They think they are pretty "badass" I guess you could say for selling templates made by famous devs.
Hence their slogan...
"Predits don't distroy devs we do"
I can't tell you how hard I am facepalming.
You guys are not anonymous, GTFO my internets.
Whatever you do DO NOT purchase anything from this website.
They are in no way affiliated with the devs who actually made the skins.
They have just extracted the from the previewer.
They are stolen.
They are stolen.
They are stolen.
If you do buy from there you could have a DMC filed against you if you are caught using these templates in your skins.
It's not worth it.
Here's a summary of the theft written by TurtleTrainer:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
http://www.imvumafias.org is selling Lumina and DeathByColour's skin files. Although I have deficient proof that this website was selling my files, I was led to this website by the individual who sold the files to ColourBursts. Suffice to say, ColourBursts is no longer a suspect/thief since IMVUMafias is actually doing all the extracting. However, I am aware that these two individuals could have paid the website to extract the templates for them. This makes the scenario even more complicated.
To apologize or not to apologize, that is the question. Just kidding. I am starting to feel a little empathetic towards her, though.
I took a few screenshots for those who are reluctant to sign up. I am having an urge to troll the website, but that probably will not do any good. These files were listed under the Gray Market section.

Disgusting. The only thing I can do is notify Lumina and DBC about this website, and hopefully get this website shut down... again.
I also got a hold of my suspect's templates, and I was right; it was my file. What surprised me is that they took my old skin files, particularly my "Pinky Dinky" one. By the way, one of the files had Aedah's head template. I feel cruel for having her head template on my computer screen.

- http://i55.tinypic.com/2lsy33o.jpg - I unraveled CB's file layer by layer, and beneath it all was this old ugly template of mine. Quite glad I updated my files.

Case #24 - Nikolaivna [ now Dox ]
She got a name change and now she Dox.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M SUPPOSED TO MAKE FUN OF HER NEW NAME!!
Anyways..
Seriously, I didn't give two shits about this girl.
Until she brought her art theft to GASR.
No way am I tolerating it.
I'm sorry if am pissed off and I will come off as bitchy.
Anyways, what first caught our attention with this Nikolavagina bitch was when she entered lollirot's request.
This is what she posted.
She was quick to remove the picture after lollirot confronted her.
As you can see this is obviously a PHOTO edited there.
Not a "DRAWING" as she claims.
Oh and what do you know we actually found the picture that she raepd in order to make her "drawing".
This is a photo of a pretty famous model who calls herself Apnea.
OH and if you think that some how the guy managed to somehow take a picture that "happened" to look exactly like the drawing Nikolaivna posted then you have to remember that this photo was posted on his blog in 2008 and Niko claimed to have drawn it in 2011.
NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL.
I don't even have to ovelay these because it's so damn obvious it's she just edited this picture slightly and then tried to sell it.
Then of course lollirot confronts Nikolaivagina and she denies the whole thing and attempts to pay off lollirot in order to keep the theft "hush hush".
Basically she said...
1. No I re-drew this.. REALLY.
2. I didn't keep the .PSD file.
3. Lollirot could you keep this "confidential".
DON'T TELL PEOPLE I STOLE REALLY THEN THEY WON'T BUY MY STOLEN WORK ANYMORE ;A;
That would be UNTHINKABLE.
Anyways so after this whole ordeal blew over we went to her homepage and saw that all of her "drawings" looked somewhat suspicious.
Then we found originals of them and our suspicions were confirmed.
These are just the ones we have found SO FAR.
I'm sure many more will pop up.
We have no idea who these pictures were made for ;A;
First there is this green looking man, the one that is right beside the "drawing" for lollirot.
This is a butchered overpaint of a drawing made by Sakimichan @ deviantart.
Don't believe me? Here's an overlay.
As you can see the lighting matches up perfectly.
The tones in the skin are almost identical.
You can even still see some of the original hair UNTOUCHED.
Same exact body portions (head, shoulder, ear, collar bone, etc)
Same with the ear it too looks untouched by her grabby hands.
WAIT, WE ARE NOT DONE YET!
Next there is this "K" picture.
Is this original art? NOPE IT IS NOT.
It's an edited version of a drawing by Acidlullaby @ deviantart.
It's funny because she thinks if she horizontally flips the picture NOBODY will recognize it!!
HOW LULZY.
I will make an overlay of this one later.
But seriously at this point are you still giving this girl the befinit of the doubt?
Well if so then we found the source of a third picture.
Another one of her crappy art raeps.
It's funny though cause like she totally deleted the picture off of her photobucket.
And unfortunately I thought at the time when I saved a webarchive it would show the picture even if it had been deleted. I was wrong.
BUT here's the picture~
This one is ripped off of SeriousBreakfastTime @ deviantart.
To further prove it here is an overlay.
WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T BUY THIS GIRLS SHIT.
SHE'S BAT SHIT CRAZY.
I THINK SHE'S ACTUALLY CONVINCED HERSELF THAT SHE DOESN'T STEAL.
Look and see.
Then afterwards she started quoting the bible telling me not to judge her.
I DON'T HAVE TO BECAUSE GOD WILL!
& Karma.
EDIT - So today I got a PM from her with an apology.
I'm posting it here so you can see.
The text is kind of small so here's a copy + paste of the message.
"Hey, You caught me and my old ways.
After reading all of the case & others as well i really do apologize.
I understand that no one really wants to tolerate such things as this.
And i am awfully appreciative that you made a site. I see the main reason is to point out people's mistakes.
I see that you were putting your hand down on the table with others.
Thanks, really, no sarcasm, for minding me the way you have.
So right now i am asking for forgiveness. from everyone. I would appreciate it if you placed this on your site as well. Maybe even make a section of where people did apologize.
I do use references to an extent where i use them almost all the way. We all need practice and that way is not the way to do it.
I am a Christian and after last night & this morning, i know that i was wrong. You.. Actually made me see things differently.
I would really be obliged if you accepted this. Please note that i did not create anymore stolen images after lollirots image. All of the images ive used were from stocks off of DeviantArt. o:
I don't know how else to say what i am about to say (type).
I TRULY am sorry and you were sent to make me aware that enough was enough.
You are allowed to hate me as much as you want, along with everyone else, But I shall no longer do wrong. All that was a digup. And sometimes we need to Dig to find roots to see if they are growing up right, rather than down wrong.
Thanks for helping me.
Really.
If there is anything you want me to do to help your site, whatever have you. Please contact me.
Thanks ..
~йikolaivna
P.S: The Nikolavagina was funny."
So she claims everything after lollirot is her own work made from stock images.
Which, as long as she is using royalty free stock and crediting the artists, then it's okay.
Personally, I probably won't trust her again but if you want to believe in the good in people then you can choose for yourself whether you want to believe her.
We will NOT stop watching her new stuff.
& if we find something wrong with them we will let you all know

Cases that need to be made - Oil- Sanctuarium - DarkMald
& a whole bunch more I'm too lazy to name.But I should finish the updates before I start on new cases.
Case #23 - CutieBunny94
This case is almost as sad and as shocking as the case about Bullshet.
Why is it that most good artists on GASR are fake?
I don't know if CutieBunny94 always started as a thief because the work she used to make looked pretty legit.
Like for example this picture she made for Bedlam.
We do not know if this was a one time thing or is she has continued stealing to this day.
Even then, there is no denying her "new" work looks very questionable.
Anyways, here's the facts of this case.
As many of you know CutieBunny94 caught people's attention with the famous shop "Cafe' De Patisserie" which, ironically, Joust another thief was also apart of.
While looking back to this thread we found that on April 29, 2010 CutieBunny94 made a very interesting looking picture for Kichiyo.
Does this picture look familiar to you?
Well it should, if you read this theft blog. This is the same picture made by Azurelle that Unravel was caught stealing.
As you can obviously tell she heavily edited this picture but you can tell that the hair is copied + pasted from the picture by Azurelle. Here is an overlay of the images.
The bigger question here is does CutieBunny94 still steal to this day?
Well in June of 2010 she created a new shop called "C A N D Y Y U M Y U M" [ link ] and the work there does look pretty questionable as well.
Please let us know if you recognize any of these pictures.

The hair in the picture LOL. Is this how CutieBunny94 actually edits?
Oh GASR you never fail to disappoint me.
Why do people steal so much? Sigh.

Case #22 - Guest_MyCareface [ Icelamb's alt account ]
So like any other case here it starts with a new person popping up in the forums who is brand new to imvu but right off the bat finds the forums and starts selling AMAZING premades.
It should be noted that not everyone new who comes to IMVU forums is automatically a thief but if they are...
1. Selling premades
2. Brand spanking new and have never had a shop before this
It is suspicious and you shouldn't immediately trust them.
But at the same time you shouldn't immediately condemn them either.
So this is a screenshot of her thread in case she decides to delete it which might happen.
So like usual we check everything and first things first we can see if we can find anything in the photobucket that is out of place.
As you can see in this picture all these photos have been uploaded with a photobucket account called "AngelSlave01".
Let's take a look at what's on this photobucket account.
Oh yes on the first page we see all of the premades that she is selling in her thread..
But wait what's all that other crap could those be her enhancements?
They look almost NOTHING like her drawings.
Then we see on page 4 something interesting a credit proof!!
NOT a credit proof for MyCareFace but for another person, someone named Icelamb.
Well let's take a look at something Icelamb posted.
This is her enhancement for Temporary's request.
Oh look in the "premade" section of her photobucket I found the picture!!
It should be noted that not everyone new who comes to IMVU forums is automatically a thief but if they are...

Another coincidence, Icelamb was also the person who bought the premade!
(as you can see in the screenshot above her other account is proudly displaying the stolen work)
So as you can clearly see MyCareFace equals the same person as Icelamb.
Now on to the premades made by MyCareFace you know what they are? They are the official artwork of the game LOL or League of Legends.
For example this picture.
Is actually Katarina from LOL as you can see on their official webpage the official artwork of the character is what she ripped off of.

| See for yourself |
Looking for "Katarina LOL" and "Katarina League of Legends" on google you can find more official artwork pictures of Katarina (as shown below).

Try it for yourself and see!!
In short, It's a shame that while IceLamb might have started out doing legitimate pictures she wanted quick credits and so she made an alternative account to get those credits by stealing official artwork from a game.
I LOL.
