Ad removed in the screenie. That's not allowed (That's just your screen )
Secondly, not much customisations so far, eh? I couldn't notice much
May be a list of what you've done would be good

In the import skin window, the text should be (imo) something like
"A Messenger Plus! Live 4.0 based skin I made simply to fit in more with Plus! as the current WLM 8.5 style doesn't do that. Enjoy"

Quite a blatant ad removal option in the options panel. Any one who's as nosy as me would find it
I believe that's allowed though

Duck, out of interest, did you remove the tabs by editing the UIfiles? Or changed messengers option...

hmm I dont think you should be able to remove the ads that easy... should make a .reg file or something in the install dir that people can click to remove them... so its a bit of trouble =p

and nice looking skin... few things to fix up (convo window, where all the smilies/winks/etc sit)

Any forcing or graphical option of removing the ads is not allowed.

You shall be shunned!

Updated.
Look at first post

Cant believe I never downloaded this before, its a great skin.

Good skin but when you move the wordwheel to the bottom and you have the blue background in the contact list, it looks really bad.

What is Krissy? Where I can find it in the skin?

The skin loses 10 points for having a Liverpool supporter in the screenie. Other than that its pretty much win
Well done

Updated See First Posty.
