There might've been a thread about this... But I searched and didn't find anything close enough to this to not make a new one... and this question just suddenly popped into my head. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by Lou on 12-08-2005 at 01:02 AM I came to ask a question...and I decided to stay...since then I have been banned twice, and I have made many friends and a few non-friends. The forums were a great place. They still are RE: How you came to be on the forum... by Curtis on 12-08-2005 at 01:06 AM Well when I first got into MSN my friend sent me a link to Msg Plus!, so I downloaded it, and I had a few questions, so I went to the site, and found the forums. I asked the questions, and I never really left I guess. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by paperless on 12-08-2005 at 01:07 AM WHen msgplus 2.5 ( i guess ) was released, trough mess.be i came here to the annoucnemente and i started posting..

RE: How you came to be on the forum... by MeEtc on 12-08-2005 at 01:35 AM Found out about Plus back when it was in version 2, went to get it myself and discovered the community.

I was around breifly last year about this time, mostly in IRC. Just recently made a comeback RE: How you came to be on the forum... by L. Coyote on 12-08-2005 at 01:39 AM
I've used MsgPlus! since some 2 version (can't remember exactly which one). RE: How you came to be on the forum... by YottabyteWizard on 12-08-2005 at 01:55 AM Installed MSG Plus for a while... like sonicsam, but i joined the forums but I wasn't an active member, then I moved to a new house but my parents didn't want internet so I stopped loggin in like 2 years. After this time I MADE my parents put internet in my house, created a new account (don't remember the old one, maybe it was deleted in one of the server changes Chrono mentioned) so here I am. My old username was something like sams1987 or sams_iss RE: How you came to be on the forum... by guanako on 12-08-2005 at 02:32 AM came to ask questions banned once this is the only forum i go dayli, never used anyother i like here and im staying untill i can, or get banned for life (hope not) RE: How you came to be on the forum... by Chrono on 12-08-2005 at 03:41 AM

I've been using Plus! for I don't know how long (early version 2). I had been just keeping up with the stuff in the support forums to make sure I knew what was going on with Plus! and what bugs I might expect. I finally registered and posted when I started to have one odd issue (which incidentally was never resolved, but not a big deal) and decided to stay. I've since spread to the rest of the boards, but mostly I just post to help other people. Basically, I'm still getting to know things here, and don't want to cause too much commotion. At least, not yet. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by NiteMare on 12-08-2005 at 04:24 AM

I actually did not know what a forum was, until I needed help with Msgplus one day. I needed to find out how to fix a error with a dll file that msgplus had corrupted. And since that day, I've just been visiting this forum and posting things when I have time. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by Vilkku on 12-08-2005 at 05:24 AM
Seeing as I have been a member for a couple of years already, I can't remember the specific reason why I joined. If my first post has something to do with it, then it was because some inaccuracies in the translation. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by Th3rmal on 12-08-2005 at 05:31 AM i came here first to find out how to toggle skins: here is my first post.

One day Chris Boulton IM'ed me saying "Hey were looking at getting a board setup for these guys". So I joined up on before it was on devBB... We then setup a board and started testing and moding. I registered before Surfi so I got User ID #1!!!! RE: How you came to be on the forum... by Chrono on 12-08-2005 at 05:52 AM

I screwed with the DB of the forum before this one so we lost all the posts, that was when I had it with free remotely hosted forums. So I opened a topic asking for help so we could host our own forum somewhere. Surfi was the really cool guy that helped us out together with wj . User ID #3!

Had been using Plus! ever since the early days. And Patchou had that really simple website up (I think the menu was in frames?). I think I may have registered to the forums there, not quite sure. I know I looked through it every now and again. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by lordy on 12-08-2005 at 09:05 AM
I joined in July 2004 for reasons unknown even to me lol, but then i had a problem so i started a thread which can be found Here. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by haydos on 12-08-2005 at 09:27 AM
I joined to ask a question about POP3 but I found that I was able to post a few answers to people's problems while I was doing this. I found that it was a nice community so I kept on coming back to help. I remember I didnt post once in T+T until I had about 50 helping posts but I would always read it. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by Aeryn on 12-08-2005 at 09:47 AM
I first saw these forums in this year's March, when a MSN conversation partner of mine posted here to get help for a problem we were having with messages not being delivered. I only read the replies to the thread then, I didn't post anything myself. (And I remember at the beginning I didn't like the way these forums look, cuz I found it confusing. Not anymore, though. ) RE: How you came to be on the forum... by Underlord on 12-08-2005 at 09:51 AM I got into Plus! when version two came out. So, one day I was looking around mess.be and saw the Plus! IRC link. In those days the IRC server was hosted by sock. I became a regular there and before long i joined the forums to post something. I assume this was my first post, but with pruning, who knows. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by Sunshine on 12-08-2005 at 10:11 AM
I joined here march 10th 2004. First post i made contained a few suggestions (hmm wasn't my first post a thank you to patchou ) RE: How you came to be on the forum... by Millenium_edition on 12-08-2005 at 10:14 AM i came over here since that "war" going on with msnfanatic... i was bored and had nothing better to do than looking for posts concerning that issue. but then i got banned from msnfanatic () and came over here RE: How you came to be on the forum... by emit on 12-08-2005 at 11:07 AM
Well, mine is kind of a long story. Back when wtbw made the MSN Nicker plugin I helped him test it for Trillian (the only IM client I was able to use in the university library due to user restrictions) and then wtbw told me about Plus! so I visited the forums, joined (account name was "The Philosopher" I think), but I never posted. I found #msgplus on EFnet (IRC) from whoising wtbw on there and hung around in there for a while with sock/wtbw then wtbw and I had an argument and I got banned from #msgplus EFnet because wtbw didn't want to talk to me. So I visisted the forums again and found out about the IRC server and found wtbw on there too. At this point I just wanted to make-up over this stupid argument, but he decided to ban me from the server instead of giving me a chance to talk to him. So I trolled the forums with the account I had made and the account got banned/deleted. So I persistently visited the IRC server, using another nickname in an attempt to hide and stop being banned. I started to get to know people: Dane, segosa, kao... then I stayed on the server (and I'm still there today) and after a few months on IRC I made another forum account called "Exacerbate", which I subsequently had renamed to "Time" which is a nick I've been using on IRC for a few years. For clarification: I know wtbw in real life, we went to secondary school together, all in all I've known him a decade and I would consider him a close friend. So blame wtbw for my spam/trolling. It's a great community on the most part and I'm glad to be a member. I guess I've been here over a year with this new account now and on IRC close to 2 years perhaps. Heh.

I've been using Plus! since 1.42b, but only joined the forums around 2.50, when I decided to write those sound plugins I make long ago. I used this board to get help, and to release the plugins. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by Rik on 12-08-2005 at 11:45 AM
i start using plus on the day i had internet ( august 2004 ) RE: How you came to be on the forum... by segosa on 12-08-2005 at 12:52 PM
I don't know how long it was before February 2003, but I was a regular user of MsgPlus 1.42b. I remember its very simple interface and I liked its quick-texts function best. But after an update to MSN Messenger (or was Windows Messenger the only thing used back then?) things started becoming extremely buggy. I figured out MsgPlus was causing the problem, so I uninstalled it. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by Supersonicdarky on 12-08-2005 at 01:00 PM
i came here when plus! was 3.20 RE: How you came to be on the forum... by qgroessl on 12-08-2005 at 01:40 PM

I think i originally came to make a suggestion about msgplus 1.42 or something. Made a couple of other posts but not much, until Patchou opened up alpha testing for MP2... anyway I got onto the tester list so started coming regularly, and BAM I'm in the community. Not such a regular now, but that's because of other things that you'll find out about eventually RE: How you came to be on the forum... by WDZ on 12-08-2005 at 05:01 PM
I found Plus! 1.20 or 1.20a (August 2001) shortly after someone from school encouraged me to get MSN Messenger. I thought it was really cool, so I visited the original forums, and kept visiting like once a day because there were some interesting suggestions and conversations there. Then on November 11 2001, Patchou created the XSOrbit board, where I immediately registered and soon became one of the top posters and eventually an admin. At the time, I was like 15, and still in school, and I had a really crappy PC with a really slow dial-up connection. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by user27089 on 12-08-2005 at 05:02 PM

Plus was kind of going around a load of us (just after version 2), and suddenly became popular. After a while I looked around the forums for a sollution to a problem I had, while there I read another thread that was interesting. I kept looking at the forum for about a week or so, and then realised I was reading all the interesting and funny threads (this was when guests could read T&T). However I never actually joined, and eventually never read any more threads. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by pollolibredegrasa on 12-08-2005 at 06:00 PM
I also had Plus! since version 2, but never knew about the forums until about September last year and at first I just read the threads etc. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by Negro_Joe on 12-08-2005 at 06:57 PM
Traxor... RE: How you came to be on the forum... by absorbation on 12-08-2005 at 06:59 PM I started with Messenger Plus! a while ago, well 3.25, then i saw these forums after udating to 7.0 public beta and finding a plus beta in a thead on these forums. Later I remembered the thread to download this beta again and this time i stuck around RE: How you came to be on the forum... by SikStyles on 12-08-2005 at 08:18 PM I had a question, I got the answer very quickly, and then i decided to stay. Nothing much to it, im pretty sure how most of the people got here who have not yet replied to this thread, they just had a question and they were suggested to come on this forum and ask. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by hmaster on 12-08-2005 at 09:20 PM I think somebody linked to here from the mess.be forums for an answer to something. I signed up after I downloaded Plus! and then I only checked certain topics or answered rarely. Only recently Ive become a more "regular" member. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by Elessar on 12-09-2005 at 07:30 AM
Well I was refered to this forum by TD, whom many of you would know as a frequent poster hear at the forum. He repeately encouraged me to post on the forums, even after I had joined and posted only twice and then left the forum unnoticed for a while. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by -dt- on 12-09-2005 at 07:45 AM
I used to use one of the really old versions like 1.42 i registered on the old xorbit forums as "darktempler83" and posted there a few times then kinda forgot about it all. RE: How you came to be on the forum... by Weyzza on 12-09-2005 at 09:29 AM

ive been using plus! for a while now, had it back on my windows 95 with msn messenger like 4 or 5. heard from a bunch of ppl to get this new program, it can change the color of my name! I was like wow so i got it, played around with it and loved it!, that was version 2. I had no idea how to use the colour in my name .

Well, i've used Plus! since the early version (1.42b), and discovered the community soon after by performing a Google search. I then registered when I discovered them, and applied to be a beta tester of Patchou's upcoming "Messenger Plus! 2 Alpha" (that post still exists and is located here). I was accepted into that beta and eventually became active in the community and got into IRC, which I still visit from time to time. To this day I remain a beta tester of Messenger Plus! from that first submission to test for Plus! 2, and hopefully will be a tester to the end.
