Don't encourage patching! Especially patching a leaked version! I know mess.be is commenting on it, but we have a need to not have any bad names with legal things (especially with the people who want Plus to fail)

I don't think it's a patch Anubis otherwsie someone would of said summit by now he's been tweaking it for ages.

I even downloaded it (for educational reasons only) and looked at it and it patches the main executable...And if it isn't a patch how come it doesn't show any signs of being able to hook into Messenger?

offical site is a msn space

you do good work tho, keep it up

doing the act is illegal, reverse engineering is illegal, promoting the patch is not.

great work ahmz_055. i wished there was a patch with those features for msn 6

MSN themselves discourage promotion of this...and since Patchou has recently been trying to please MSN by removing the ads and things, I don't think we need a reputation of being people who encourage it...really I don't like us encouraging illegal acts, despite the gain...

Says the guy who mentions p2p's when people need programs. Wether it's legal or illegal it's still good work.

What? I know we're going off-topic...but P2P's are legal for downloading OpenSource and freeware. I have never commented on using them for illegal purposes on this forum...I know it's illegal, but yes it is good work, I don't mean not to say that, after looking at it some people will be glad.
All we can do now is wait for a member of staff to comment, after all it is in breach of the forum rules...
