Thank you, some good suggestions, I will look at the plus store. I already spread the word about messenger plus.
We know you don't have to install the sponsor programme and really appreciate the option not to. Much respect is also due to Patchou for not making it the default option like so many of the money grabbers out there.
What we were discussing is an alternative way to support Messenger Plus directly, as I am sure there are many people like us who would like to feel we have contributed directly to the project without installing unnecessary and obtrusive software onto our systems. A simple paypal (or similar) button (or a link to a "how to contribute page") on the home page would give us that option.
I think the precautions against installing the sponsor programe are adequate and am not asking for it to be removed as this is unlikely to be done. I do however feel that if it was removed then the reputation of Messenger Plus with the wider world could only be improved.
Perhaps a premium version of Messenger Plus with added "boasts" could be done as an incentive? Custom emoticons or something to let other Messenger Plus users know you are supporting the cause? (similar to the auto message you get when you log in to certain web messenger tools).
That way you would have four options:
1. Install the sponsor less free version (don't donate)
2. Install the sponsor less free version (donate)
2. Install the sponsor program
3. Purchase the Messenger Plus Premium version for additional money and gain bragging rights
