I think at the point Plus! has come to it may well be time to end it's run of terror so to speak. I think that anything that anybody could well want that isn't allready in Plus! could probably be achieved via plug-ins & therefore people can't really complain (unless all the plug-in developers called it a day aswell). I remember you telling us all before you do have a company you made, is this the start of Patchousoft? Will we be seeing the discontinuation of Plus! but the start of a not just a add-on for a existing product but a all new one? And maybe now that you have friends at Microsoft if ever there is a compatibilty problem they could update Plus! for you? The possibilitys are endless. But your worries are understandable, but I think you may underestimate the understanding nature of your community.
This is The GiantSpider saying "2 Cent's ain't enough in this world"

That's all good and useful feedback for me, thank you very much . And btw, don't worry, I'm not about to stop maintaining Messenger Plus! anytime soon.

I just saw this thread, Plus! is a great software indeed.

I wonder if  "Auto-hide at screen edge" & "Auto save password and login" is possible in the next version?

When I discovered Messenger Plus! 2 years ago, I realised that it was going to change the way I used Messenger forever. I got my whole family to download it, and use it. And I thank you Patchou for creating such a great product.

I understand that you have spent 4 years of your life developing a product which is well known and has made you well respected. I respect you alot, you've inspired me to learn to program so that one day I can hope to be a programmer half as good as yourself.

I hope you enjoy working on new projects and I wish you good luck in your life.

We don't know, with your reputation, you could become the next Bill Gates.

I find plus to be perfect as long as it is maintained for MSN then i'm going to be happy besides, plugins will always add that little extra functionality

You may seem a drop in income from the sponsor though due to lack of installs.

I'm awaiting new exciting projects

If you want to go out into other projects, then I think you should. You should take a break, I have never seen a computer programmer so dedicated to his 'baby' as you are.

If you just maintain it and make sure it still works. For about a year, then maybe you could start the code sharing thing you did a long time ago but with the latest version of Plus!, and let Plus! splinter out.

Search on the forums for Wouter's Pass Reminder plugin.

Well whatever you decide to do Patchou, I wish you all the best in future.

Hi,

I can understand what you mean, as you need a fresh new challenge in life.

It's a bit disappointing you feel this way, as Messenger Plus! is a great add-on and has became a way of life for the hardcore Messenger user, but we all stand by you in this decision and hope you the best for the future..

Hmmmm is this anything to do with your visit to Redmond?
Are you going to stop maintaining it after a while and then sell it to MSN?

Also, when you move onto another project, is it something us geeks can look forward to, any ideas we can have?


I know this is a little big, but havnt you ever thought of hiring people to work on projects etc? And start off a big development company, you could start off a few projects on your own, and then hire people to continue their development, and you could make loads of money off all of them, and whilst developers are putting the most into the new projects, you could be developing more new fresh ones...

That way you still own copyright to all the applications and are a big hit to the developing world

Sorry, stop babbling on LoL


Kind Regards,

his not going to another one, but he wants to know what we would do if we did
